Amber's P.O.V 

"FUCK! FUCK! FUUUCCCCCKKK!" Finnick screamed whilst bashing the steering wheel with his fists, bruises formed on his knuckles and his skin tearing with each impact.

Its now midnight and we should be sleeping peacefully...but unfortunately not. Finnick woke up in the night and saw a blacked-out car and a figure was watching our window. He slapped me awake, shoved my stuff in a bag and now here we are, driving above the speed limit and swerving cars.

Finnick was swearing at annoyed drivers but his screams were muffled by the cigarette hanging in his mouth. While he continued to flip people off, I stared out the window and thought through possible plans to escape this psycho!

My thinking was abruptly interrupted by Finnick slamming his foot on the brake and looking at me with dark scary eyes, the kind of eyes that make you want to crawl into a ball and die alone.

"Did your piece of shit brothers give you this?" Finnick spat whilst tugging on my bracelet. I didn't even care at this point and I need to scream at him.

"Don't call them that!" I scream but soon get slapped hard across my face and the force whipped my face to the side and my fair flopped onto my stinging red cheek. I held my cheek in my hand and tried my best not to cry, giving him satisfaction.

"DID THEY GIVE YOU THIS?" Finnick demanded with loads of car horns going off in the background because he braked in the middle of the road. I knew I couldn't lie so I nodded my head in defeat. In a blink of my eye, Finnick jumped out the car and ripped my door open and dragged me out by my hair. Beside the road was some bushes and trees, Finnick pushed me on the dirt and my back hit a bush, the dead leaves covered my head and shoulders.

He ripped the bracelet from my hands and placed it on the road, I looked to see loads of scary drivers, honking their horns and swearing profanities out their car windows. Finnick jumped back in the driver's seat and drove very slowly, it took me a second to register what he was doing.

He was running over my bracelet with his tire.

Oh no.

I saw Finnick's signature evil smirk as he watched me sob over the last thing that gave me hope of escaping this man. I heard a faint crunch and I immediately knew it was the tracker being crushed under the wheel, along with my hope.

Finnick ran up to me and dragged me back in the car, I looked down and a few of my hairs broke off from the iron grip Finn had on my hair. Finnick sat back down in the driver's seat and continued driving again, I felt his stare burn holes on the side of my head, I felt his evil and cruel aroura suffocating this stolen car and suffocate me.

"I'm giving you a punishment for going against me baby, but I think you'll grow to like it," Finn said with a smirk clear on his face, he was amused and pleased with himself, but of what exactly?

I looked down scared and my hands got clammy, my anxiety and nervousness was kicking in big time and a panic attack was surfacing. I breathed in and out as smooth and regular as I could and tried to remain calm, doing the exercise that my brothers have taught me whenever I would have a panic attack at home or outside somewhere, usually at the mall when I try on clothes with my brothers watching.

My breathing got back to normal and I was okay, but I was only okay for a second because just as I got my anxiety under control, I saw a long shiny thing being stabbed into my arm forcibly.

I wasn't stabbed with a knife, but a silver needle filled with an unknown substance.

I gasped loudly and tried to shuffle away but it was no use, the needle was shoved in aggressively by a smirking Finnick and my panic was surfacing again. The contents of the needle flowed into my arm and it was taking effect quickly.

The immediate thing I realised about this needle was that it wasn't poison or a liquid to force me to sleep. It was a drug, as in drug drug! I felt an immediate rush and my brain was whizzing with random thoughts and feelings, overwhelming my body. I started panicking and losing my breath, the drug was flowing through my bloodstream and sending my body into a whole new experience.

I looked up at Finnick and noticed we pulled over at a run-down gas station. He was holding my hand and staring into my eyes. "How is it?" he asked, I looked over at him worriedly, terrified of what my body is doing.

"Wh-a-at did y-ou inject-t me with-h?" I asked shakily, my hand vigorously shaking, and my mind feels like it ran a marathon.

"Heroin babe," Finnick says casually as if it's no big deal. I looked over at him with huge eyes and a gaping mouth, trying to comprehend that I have heroin running through my veins. My breathing quickened, and I shook my head, trying to get rid of this headache.

"Babe stop! Relax and let the drug do its thing." He said when lit a new cigarette in his mouth, chucking the used needle on the floor next to my foot.

I sat back in my seat and looked around at the empty gas station, my head was slowing down and I felt drowsy all of a sudden, my arms felt floppy and I laughed at the giddy feeling and relaxed into it.

It wasn't that bad...I actually liked the new drug.

I sat back in my seat and smiled at the new calming feeling, I feel like I had just had a ten-hour massage and my body is limp and relaxed at its fullest. My mind had slowed down, along with my raging anxiety which is a pain in the ass!

Finnick puffed out his smoke and it filled up the car, the smell of drugs was overwhelming but relaxing my head and calming me down. Finnick looked at me with a proud look on his face "I knew you'd like it! It was expensive, but I got it for my princess because she deserves it!" Finnick said and rubbed my leg up and down. I smiled weakly at him and temporally forgot the anger I had towards him, in this moment I didn't give a single shit, so I just let it slide and let the drowsiness take me away.

"I don't want to burst your little bubble babe, but we have a job to do," Finn said and pulled two black coats and masks from the back seats and threw a coat and mask to me.

"Put them on babe, we don't what you to get caught do we?" He cooed in my ear and placed his mask on. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't care. I leant forward in my chair and placed my mask on, Finn helped with my coat and zipped it up.

"Stay close to me." He instructed and pulled my body to his, he opened the car door and set me down on my feet, I looked around at the deserted gas station through the slits in the mask. I looked around and the place looked pretty dead but the lit-up shop caught my attention. I'm guessing we're going in there?

We walked hand in hand to the shop and he opened the door, the shop was empty apart from a young woman in her twenties, standing behind the desk and looking at the cash register bored, completely oblivious to us entering the store.

Finn pushed me against the wall and looked at me with his serious 'Do as I fucking say!' look.

"Stay here and don't run." He said sternly whilst holding my wrist in a strong grip, I didn't feel much of the pain so I nodded my head, trying to please him so I can escape eventually, but stealing his drugs before I do. Especially this heroin stuff!

I stay standing like a statue and watching my 'boyfriend' walk up to the lady. I distantly heard shouting and swearing but I didn't bother listening too much, just wanting the wall to eat me up and transport me to home, sleeping on a bed of cotton candy and licked by an army of pugs!

I continue thinking about pugs when two gunshots went off and sent my body into a frozen position, it was like I turned to stone but my eyes and ears could see and hear everything.

My eyes travelled down to see the once bored looking lady, now on the floor in a pool of her own blood. It surprised me how little I reacted to a dead body, lying on the floor with their eyes open, showing the pain and surprise in them.

I casually look up at Finnick to see him placing the gun back in the waistband of his jeans and looting the cash register, I have never seen him move so quick! He pulled out all the cash and stuffed it in the bag, then picked up a large can of gas and started pouring it everywhere, on the shelves, the floor, the woman's body and the poor chocolate bars! I quickly snatch a few off the shelves and stuff them in my pocket, saving them for later.

Finnick runs to me and drags me out the store, he continues to throw gas everywhere and dump it on every surface. He told me to grab our bags from the car and stand far away, I did as I was told and ran to the side of the road, watching Finnick light a match and throw it at the gas pumps.

Quick as a flash, Finnick sprints to me and tackles me to the ground, a large explosion booms around us and a blazing fire grew and started burning out the gas station, turning it all to flames. I looked up at it and saw the store burning, the structure above the pumps burning, the woman's body burning, and everything looked like a fiery pit of death and destruction.

I tensed up at the heat and ash was blowing around and making us both cough violently.

"Come on we better run!" Finnick said and dragged my hand with his. We both ran down the street, backpacks on our backs and running for our lives, the sound of police sirens was heard around the town and it only made Finnick run quicker, making me do more exercise and running which I hate with a passion, making me want another hit of heroin to make me feel better.

Gosh, I'm already dependant on that drug and I've only had one dose of it.

We continued to run into the distance, to a place where neither of us knew but it was better than being caught by the cops and arrested. I hated Finnick and I wouldn't want anything more than for him to be put behind bars, but I was an accessory to this murder and arson, so I needed to get out of here just as much as him.

The next time I see my family will NOT be behind bars in an orange jumpsuit, I will make sure that never happens...
