The Rose Of The Capitol|| Finnick Odair

Chapter 20- The Pain

—Rose's POV—

I woke up with a gasp. I looked around and saw that I was back in my cell. How is this even possible?

"Rose, are you awake?" Peeta asked

I stayed laid on the floor looking at the ceiling

"Rose, are you ok?" Johanna asked

"It was horrible" I said

"We heard your screams" Peeta said

"What happened?" Johanna asked

I close my eyes

"They put me in a room....... then they start letting water in.......I couldn't breathe.......I was dying" I said trying to stay calm

We stayed in silence, for some reason that calmed me down

"They are going to kill us" I said

"No, they won't" Johanna said trying to seem strong

"Yes, they will-l" Peeta said

By now, I had already lost hope. Here I was again giving up. The difference is that this time there's nothing that we can do to get out of here

I went to my usual spot against the wall. I couldn't see them but at least I could speak to them and I'm thankful for that

"I had dreams........."

"Do you want to tell us?" Peeta asked

"I wanted to.........I wanted to have a family. I really wanted to be a mother. You know I'm really good with kids and.........and I think they like me too"

"She is being modest. Kids fucking love her" Johanna said making us laugh

"Yes, I am being modest. Kids fucking love me. Apart from that I wanted to see my family happy. I wanted to see my brother marrying Emily and maybe start a family with her. I wanted to see my mother smiling more, you know after my games she was always sad"

"Who's Emily?" Peeta asked

The thought of her made me smile

"She is the girl that I volunteered for" I said " She is dating my brother"

"Rose made everything so they could be together" Johanna said

"That's not true, they both had a crush on each other, I just helped them admitting their feelings" I said "And you helped me"

"Because you threatened me that if I didn't helped you would never make cookies for me again. Everyone knows that I can't live without your cookies"

Peeta start laughing at our conversation

"Are they good?" He asked

"You have no idea" she said making me laugh

"If we get out of here, I will cook for you, Then you will tell me what do you think of my cooking skills, alright?" I asked Peeta

"Alright"

"But as I was saying......I wanted to get married. I would like to get married in a beautiful white dress and my husband.........my husband will be there waiting for me and showing me how much he loves me"

"Ladies and gentlemen, she is talking about Mr. Odair" Johanna said

"Shut up!"

"Oh come on, everyone knows that you two will end up together"

"I agree with Johanna" Peeta said

"You two are the worst"

"You still love us"

"Unfortunately" I said

Our conversation was interrupted by steps. They stopped in front of Johanna's cell. I start praying that they would be easy on her

They took her away

"Rose, I'm scared" Peeta said

"I once told this to my little brother......It's ok to be scared, it make us feel alive. We have to use that fear and turn it into our strength"

Johanna's screams interrupted us. I put my hands on my ears and laid on the floor. How could they do this to us? How can a man be so cold that he doesn't care about other people?

I stayed there, laying on the floor, for some time

A song that my father used to sing for me came into my mind. Once I sang this song to Finnick

"Are you, Are you, coming to the tree. They strung up a man they say who murdered three"

The screams of pain continued

"Strange things did happen here. No stranger would it be. If we met at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree. Where dead man called out for his love to flee"

I stopped for awhile. My father used to sing this to calm me down. I miss him everyday

"Please, go on........it's calming me" Peeta whispered

"Strange things did happen here. No stranger would it be. If we met at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree. Where I told you to run. So we'd both be free"

I was singing and crying at the same time. I will not fight anymore. I will break a promise

I give up

I will not see my family again

I will not fight anymore

It's over

Pain.........that was the only thing that I was feeling right now.........pain
