  Tigress handed Gale and Katniss two large cape coats.
" Goodluck Katniss." Reina said smiling at her, then Katniss hugged her. Then she hugged Pollux and finnick.
" Tigres thank you for everything you've done." Katniss thanks the women.
" Katniss let me come with you, okay? I can be a good distraction. They know my face."  Peeta pleaded.
" No, I'm not losing you again."
" Peeta, you'll be safer with us." Reina tried to tell him.
" What if peacekeepers start searching houses." Gale interrupted.
"Then give me a nightlock pill. I'm not going back there." At that Gale handed peeta a nightlock pill. Then Katniss walked in front of peeta and unlocked his hand cuffs.
" stay alive." She told him before hugging him tightly.
" If I see you again, it's gonna be a different world." They stayed like that, living in that moment. Hoping it wasn't their last together.
" Ready to go?" Gale asked Katniss.
" let's go." Katniss walked towards the door and put her bow underneath her cape. The two walked out the door.
------------------------------------------------------------
" Maybe we should go back in the basement. It's safer." Reina suggested. So that they did. Reina inspected Finnick's cut once more, noticing it was deep and needed stitches.
" tigres, do you have medical tools?" She asked the women. Tigres bowed her head and went to the the first aid kit.
" I love you hun, but are you sure you can do that.." finnick asked in a worried tone.
" your forgetting my mother was a doctor in 4." She said smiling at him, he smiled back at her. Tigres returned with the medical tools and Reina got to work.
She carefully stitched Finnick's arm, trying to be as careful as possible.
" Done!" She said before letting out a long yawn.
" Did you sleep Rei? " Finnick asked the girl.
" no.."
" lay down, go to sleep."
" okay.." she said yawning again. She soon fell fast asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------
" FINN. FINN. FINN."
" What's Wrong Rei?!"
" HE KISSED ME! LEO KISSED ME!"
" That's Great !" Something didn't feel right to finnick, his heart felt heavy, was he.. sad?
" Yea! I'll tell you all about it later! I got to go! Bye Finnie !" Reina said running away. He waved good bye...
*later*
" Yea I'll just date her for a couple days then break her heart in front of everyone." Leo said laughing to his friends. Reina had overheard.. Her eyes swelled with tears as she ran away from the group of boys. She ran too the small beach her and finnick had discovered not that long ago. She sat on the sand and cried into her hands.
" Rei?" Reina turned around to see finnick, her eyes were red from crying. " oh no." He said walking over and sitting next to her. He wrapped an arm around her. They sat their for a few minutes in silence.
" He was playing me. It was all just to embarrass me." She spoke quietly.
" We'll... he's missing out! Your the funniest, smartest, prettiest girl I know! He's just blind and can't see that." Reina just sunk into him.
" it'll be okay rei. Everything will be okay."
------------------------------------------------------------
*BOOM*
A loud booming sound woke Reina up.
" That was That..? " Reina questioned.
" Bombs. Could be from us or snow. " Cressida spoke.
" He wouldn't bomb anywhere near his people. This has to be from coin." Finnick acknowledged to the rest of the group.
" Finnick's right, he wouldn't endanger Capitol citizens. But Katniss and Gale are out there.. do you think their okay?"
Nobody answered Reina's question, because they truly didn't know if they were okay.
" Ill go look outside." Finnick said standing up. He walked up the stairs and peeked out the door. There were rebels shooting Capitol citizens and more bombs going off. Finnick closed the door and walked back downstairs.
" It's bad."
