Chapter 19

I lay in the ground my hair is thrown down, no longer in it's normal tight bun. But I don't even care enough to pull up.

Peeta is in the cell next to mine. Annie is crying she must have heard our screams.

I try to pull myself up to the wall. I barely get there and fall on the cell bars that separate us.

"Annie, don't worry your okay." I say my voice still miraculously calm and steady.

"Y-yeah but you a-aren't." She says motioning to my beat up body.

"Yeah I am. I'm talking aren't I?" I say.

"Aina, your bleeding." She says.

I put my hand onto my back gently. I flinch at the sting. When I bring it back my hand has a bit of blood on it.

"Just a little bit." I say.

She looks at me tears running down her face. She reaches her hand out and touches my forehead.

I flinch she says, "Aina look." Showing my her fingers soaked in blood from my forehead.

"It's fine. It will heal." I say casually.

I realize I am shaking but try my best to ignore it.

"Aina, if they don't get help for you soon. I t-think y-you'll die." She says.

"Annie, I won't die I promise." I say.

But u I know the loss of blood has already made me kind of light headed.

Peeta is unconscious in the cell next to me. Annie is sobbing now.

I sing her the song my voice cracking randomly throughout it. She falls asleep and I am left alone.

I go to my corner. Tears threaten to spill from the constant pain.

I don't know how long I sit there but I hear a thud from one of the rooms. I close my eyes trying to ignore the noise.

Then the door to my cell opens. A boy with brown hair and a gun comes in.

"I found the kid." He says to who ever he is with.

"Can you walk?" He asks.

I nod and stand up ignoring the pain.

"Then come on" He says and I rush out.

Peeta is slung over another guy's shoulder. Annie and Joanna run with everyone.

I race time as I run faster then most of the other people only the guy who came into my cell beating me.

I run in and everyone else follows. The guy looks at me and says, "Aina, right?"

"Yeah." I say my voice still calm and collected.

"Wow, I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't think your brothers were telling the truth when they told me you wouldn't cry." He says.

"Yeah not to big on crying." I respond.

"Well Aina, I'm Gale." He says.

"Nice to meet you." I say.

"Your gonna need stitches." He says.

"Thought so." I say casually.

Another person comes over and starts stitching up my cuts. I don't flinch as they stitch up my cuts.

The needle she poke me with barley compares with the pain I have just been through.

After she is done with my stitches I go over to where Gale and all the other important people seem to be.

"You guys are with the reballion, right?" I say.

"Yes" another guy says.

"So my brothers, Luca and Jacob they're all right?" I ask.

"They are both pretty good although Jacob was pretty shaken up with you gone." Gale says.

"When do I get to see them?"

"As soon as we get back I hope." Gale says.

U nod keeping my straight face so that they know I am not just a little girl.

Well I wait in the plane I manage to pull my hair into it's normal tight bun. I sit on a seat in the plane and count the charms on my bracelet again.

"Wow, you look great." Joanna says sarcastically.

"Your one to talk." I say jokingly referencing the fact she no longer has hair and she is very beaten up.

She chuckles a bit at my comment.

"They really did beat us up, didn't they." She says.

"Well they did give us a free tattoo." I say lifting my arm to reveal a bunch of scars that I don't suspect are going away anytime soon.

"Amazing aren't they." She says.

"Do you think Peeta will be ok?" I ask concerned for my friend.

"Well he is just unconscious. He will probably be back to normal when he wakes up."

"We better hope or Katniss will be pissed." I say.

She laughs.

"So your good with an axe?" I ask bringing in the only thing I know she would continue a conversation with.

"Yeah I am the best." She says.

"I tried to throw an axe once and it went straight through my window."

"Really, Jacob must have gone crazy." She says.

I had forgotten they were friends.

"He made me do his chores for a month." I say.

"And you did it?" She asks

"Well it was either that or he told my brother Adrain and he would have yelled at me and really freak out."

"Probably smart." She says.

"Yeah, but how are you so good with an axe." I say.

"I was a natural." She says.

"I wonder if I would be able to learn."

"I bet you would be able to, as long as there are no windows anywhere."

"I can see it already windows broken everywhere." I say.

She laughs.

"Well we still have a few hours till we get back so maybe change." She says handing me a hospital gown.

"Thanks" I say.

I look down at my capital outfit stained in blood. It makes my physical state look way worse then it probably is.

Joanna goes to talk to one if the people that saved us and I go change in a small weapons closet in the plane.

For the rest of the ride Gale catches me up on what I missed. He tells me about District 12 and how he helped get people out.
