๐‘‡๐‘–๐‘˜ ๐‘‡๐‘œ๐‘˜,

The sounds of the clock upon the wall, the echo of the click. I stare up upon the ceiling. I doze every now and then but my eyes stay open.

My thoughts filled with Finnick, the capital with its burning rage for us.

I place my hand upon my stomach, unnoticeable but a very small bump has formed.

I was truly pregnant. I swore I would never, as such I wouldn't want to be in this world with a Hunger games. But maybe now we have a chance. A new hope.

A new beginning for our children.

Those were my last thoughts as my eye lids grew heavy and I slowly fall asleep.

~

"Victoria fucking Grace!"

I startle at Johannas stern voice as the sound around me isn't as muffled.

We were in the dinning hall eating as I mess around with my food with a fork and I sigh. "I'm sorry"

She looks at me and sighs as she placed her hand on mine. "He's okay." She reassured and I shake my head, "I feel so useless.. so helpless Johanna. I'm used to being in the fight. Not standing on the sidelines waiting for something to happen." I simply say as I stand up and throw my trash away.

Placing my tray down I head out without another word, I go straight to the training area, my sickness has gone down but I have limitations.

I train for hours upon hours. Sweat can be seen from my body as a guard walks in, "coin would like to see you Mrs. odair." He simply says and walks out.

I grab a towel and roll my eyes. What the hell does she want now.

~

Cleaned up and ready I make my way to her office.

Knocking on the door gently, "come in child" she says as I close the door behind me and take a seat.

"Any news on Finnick?" I say before she speaks and she nods.

"He's doing just fine. Now back to where I was going. Peeta. Of course you'd know him. He won't seem to listen to anyone Victoria. We were wondering if you could help with this. Talk to him, Reassure him Katniss is not a threat and to work for us"

Us? She means her.

What else would I do, I guess I would like some distraction from my racing thoughts.

"I will. I'd love to" I simply say as she smiles which sends shivers down my spine.

This woman.

~

The click of the caged doors open as I step into a white room. All white. Reminded me of the capital. This woman is like snow.

I look over at a bruised and broke peeta. He looked better. He's also looked better.

I can't help but remember this kid from the games, when I met him. He was so innocent. So sweet.

He was tightly tied down as he opens his eyes it flooded with relief, "Victoria." He softly speaks in his normal voice and I smile at him softly as I head towards him.

"Hey peeta, long time huh" I say and giggle a bit as he smiles only slightly.

"We were in the capital together.. I understand what you went through" I simply say and his smile disappears.

"She's a capital mutt Victoria. You have to believe me!" He says seriously and I ignore his hate in the words he speaks.

"No peeta.. we're the mutts." My words shake him a bit as he complicates things.

"No.. they. Uhm she's." I place my hand upon his and look him dead in the eyes.

"She's not. We are. Snow. He did the same thing with Finnick although, my memory was wiped from Finnick instead. They kept yours of Katniss. To hate her."

He looks down and back up at me, "Victoria..am I truly a mutt." He speaks with such sadness and I shake my head.

"Shhh no Peeta. No. You aren't a true mutt. You became what the capital wanted but I see you for who you are Peeta. You're still you, you just need some help. We all do occasionally." I say and smile at him as I rub his hand.

"What do you say Peeta? Can you try. Try to become better. Help me, help you. We can do this together." I say and his eyes meet mine once more.

"Of course. I trust you." He says and I smile which he returns.

"Great I'll tell the others" I simply say as I stand up and begin to walk out the door his voice echoes.

"I used to have the biggest crush on you." I stop in my tracks as I slowly turn to look at him. I giggle slightly. "Is that so?" I ask and he smiles genuinely.

"Yea. I remember watching you on TV when I was a kid. You were so beautiful, the way you conducted yourself and the way you spoke during your interviews. I told my mom." He chuckles to himself.

"That you would be the one I would marry" he continues and we both laugh a bit. I show my ring to him and he smiles.

"Seems as though I'm too late" he chuckles and sighs.

I smile and he smiles back. I feel our friendship grow.

"Maybe so, but remember, you have one badass girl yourself" I say and he smiles wearily knowing I'm meaning Katniss.

"Peeta, forgive. It's the capital. You know this." I say and he nods.

I could feel him try to be better and I leave the room with those words lingering in the air.

~

I sit upon my bed as I go through photos, moments later mags walks into the room.

"My dear, you've been up for hours. Get some rest" she says and I shrug.

"I can't. The nightmares. Finnick" I say without even looking up at her.

"Victoria. Please."

I sigh at her words as I place the photos down and look over at her.

"What if something happens.. what would I do. How would I" I could feel myself start to slip and mags pulls me into her embrace.

"Child. It's okay. It'll all be okay."

"I feel so weak. I've never felt this way before so helpless." I simply say and she soothes me with her hug.

"Everything happens for a reason my dear. Remember that." She says and I'm pulled back into my mind.

I swear I felt crazy being trapped in this district.

I felt weak.

~

Around midnight I make my way to the rooftops. The cool breeze dances upon my skin.

"Lovely night" I startle from a voice behind as I turn to see Peeta. This was an odd sight as he hasn't been out of that cell for days.

I smile at him though and he chuckles, "I scare
You already?" He says and I giggle. He walks over beside me.

"I'm having trouble Victoria. What's real and what's not real." He says as he looks out.

"Ask me then. That's what Finnick and I do."
I say and I chuckles.

"I know that's not true, you two just know right away." I shrug and sigh, "but always ask Peeta" I reply.

"I'm your friend here, I'll support you and help you, so If you need to know. Ask" I say and he meets my gaze with his own.

"Thank you vic." He says and tilts his head.
"Real or not real" I knew he meant by my words and I smile genuinely.

"Real"

~

"Bloody hell you're going to send a god damn insane teenage boy who wants to kill our mockingjay right into the group??! As If it wasn't already dangerous enough!" Plutarch voice rings out as coin suggests Peeta go into battle.

The past day Peeta has come out of his shell and he and I have been training side by side.

I shrug and walk as I relax down into my seat, "I think he should go." I simply say and coin nods in my direction

"He can do it Plutarch. I promise. He's not the same man he was when he was trying to kill Katniss."

He huffs, "well he's not the same boy he was when he fell head over heels for Katniss either. We don't know what he could do."

I roll my eyes at his response.

"Fine then simply restrain him until he needs to fight. Give him a chance!" I say sternly as Peeta and I are close friends in just a day and two and I know he can do this.

Coin stays silent for a few moments and eyes me, "you will be with him. His accompanying" she says and silence fills the room once more.

What did she just say.

"But she pregnant." Plutarch begins and she furrows her eyebrows.

"She has been training non stop. I've under estimated her abilities and her control. She is also the only one close enough to Peeta that if he does get out of control. She can stop him." She says as she makes eye contact with me.

I could feel joy rise in me. I'll see Finnick.

I nod at her and Plutarch eyes me, "fine. But Victoria..you do whatever is necessary. If that boy gets out of control. You go to whatever limits to keep the team and Katniss alive." I knew what he meant. Kill him. If he stepped over.

I simply nod in reply as our meeting was dismissed.

Walking out I felt the nerves hold upon me. The adrenaline coursing through my veins.

I was going into battle.

~

Looking in the mirror I've been suited with a pitch black body suit. The armory was delicate and very fierce with the accent of gold upon it. My hair was back into a ponytail and around my curved waist was a variety of knives. The ones beetee made.

I take a deep breath as I make my way out of the room.

There Johanna hugs me tightly. "Come back" she says and I roll my eyes.

"Don't get all emotional now!" I say and she smiles tapping my shoulder.

"Oh and you look so badass!" She says and we both giggle to each other as mags comes up and embraces me.

"Be safe my dear. But don't forget this." She says as she opens her hand, there lays the golden waved pin I've received years ago now.

I smile as she clips it on and I give her one last hug.

"I'll be back soon." I say and they wave as I take my steps into the aircraft my eyes land on Plutarchs as he nods in my direction.

The mission.

Walking in I notice Peeta in a seat with a Restraint upon himself. I smile and he smiles back as I sit next to him.

"It was the only way to convince them" I say and he nods

"It's okay. I don't even trust myself sometimes" we both laugh at his comment as the air craft takes off.

~

Hours. I swore it was days maybe. Maybe a little dramatic but totally necessary.

The air craft shifts as it lands and everyone on board is now wide awake.

I could feel myself get excited. Finnick.

Peeta glances at me and mutters, "real or not real" he says and I nod.

"Real."

With that I hear the clicks and the gears shift as the air craft opens. The light blinds me and dust is blown everywhere.

I step out just as someone else drags Peeta along with me.

I take the lead as I hear faint voices.

"Who's that?"

"What's going on?"

We step out more just as my vision clears a bit as I make out Katniss with her bow pointed at as.

I hold my hands up.

"Woah woah calm down there princess" I say and chuckle to myself, sounds like something Haymitch would say.

She then glances at Peeta.

"What are you?"

"They sent us. Coin. That's all that's needed to know. I'm here to keep tweedle dee from killing you." I simply say and she hesitated but nodded.

"Hey!" Peeta says and I giggle a bit just as I hear paced footsteps.

"Vic?" I then make eye contact with a pair of sea green eyes.

"Finnick!" I yell as I ignore everyone around us and I run to him kicking dust up as I leap into his arms he spins me, he gives me a passionate kiss and I sigh into it. Of relief.

"Couldn't stay away.." he says frowning a bit but obviously happy I'm here.

"We do this together." I say and he smiles

"Always."

Peeta begins to walk and I look over at him as gale and Katniss eye him.

Poor boy.

The air craft starts up again and takes off.

I then was left with a sight of ruble. Dust. Broken pieces.

We were in a district that was blown to pieces.

I finally take in my surroundings as I can see a few human remains even.

"We should head inside" a voice calls and they began to walk away.

Finnick places his hand upon my shoulder as I stare speechless at the sight.

This is war. I am in a war now. This is life and death.

The seriousness truly comes to me as I am no longer on the side lines. I'm in it.

"Welcome Vic. To the 76th hunger games"

Finnicks voice rings out in my ear as the harsh breeze blows once more upon my skin.

Yeah, and may the ๐‘œ๐‘‘๐‘‘๐‘  be ever in ๐‘ฆ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐•—๐•’๐•ง๐• ๐•ฃ.
