Ophelia sat by Katniss and her sister Prim, they ate in a comfortable silence.

"Katniss, Ophelia come with me." She looks up from her plate of food at a tall dark skinned man, she stands with Katniss and follows him.

He guides them through the cafeteria and down a hall, finally they reach a door and the man pushes it open.
The first thing they saw on a huge screen was Peeta, he look absolutely horrible.

His cheeks were sunk in from lack of food, bags under his eyes from no sleep; and red eyes from crying.

Katniss' hand clasped over her mouth as she saw him, the brunette placed her hand on the younger girls back as she watched the screen.

"I'm begging you for restraint-" He was cut off as another video started to play. It was Katniss singing and walking around. It flickered back to Peeta as he worriedly glanced around, he then looked back to the screen.

"Katniss are you there?" He asked causing even more tears to stream down Katniss' face.

The screen continued to switch from Katniss to Peeta, he saws a few more things before the screen turns black. It then flickers back on and there in front of the screen was Finnick.

Ophelia's breath caught in her throat as she saw him, he had purple bags under his eyes and he had also been crying. But the most noticeable thing was his neck.

Scars covered it, it was like someone put a shock collar on him.

She dug her finger nails into her palms as he spoke. "They'll kill everyone, please no ones safe. Especially here at the Capital." She squeezed her eyes shut and placed her hands over her ears. She didn't want to watch anymore; she couldn't listen to his painful words.

It hurt too much, it all hurt too much.

Once she opened her eyes and removed her hands from her ears Finnick was gone, and replaced with the Capital symbol on the screen.
