GASOLINE | PEETA MELLARK

07 | the unbreakable

Cold. That's what Cordelia felt when she dive into the water.

Growing up near the sea, Cordelia practically swim like a fish. Almost everyone could swim back in four. When Cordelia was a little, she always though that the district she lived in was actually the city of mermaids. But now, she knows that every side of Panem is a war zone. If she could, she rather lives underwater with the fishes, not killing each other to satisfy Snow.

Cordelia hurriedly head to the Cornucopia as fast as she could. She landed while ignoring the fact that she hasn't completely got her balance yet.

She took sight at the District 6 man towards the Cornucopia, but she didn't mind. She needed to find Katniss and Peeta and maybe Finnick if she's lucky.

Cordelia straightly run to the Cornucopia, reaching her daggers fastly, then hurriedly move to the other side of Cornucopia to find both Katniss and Peeta then drag them into the jungle, where it would be best to hide first.

"Katniss!" Cordelia screamed, calling for the girl who still looked pretty shocked.

From what Cordelia see, Katniss has managed to take her bow and arrows and that relief Cordelia a little, knowing that Katniss already got her weapon.

Katniss suddenly stiffened, making Cordelia stop herself from reaching the girl. Katniss' eyes looked cold, probably staring at a certain something. Deciding that the symbol of the rebellion might be in danger, Cordelia hurriedly run to where Katniss is.

As she stood near Katniss, Cordelia eyes widened a bit at the sight of Finnick. With Finnick staring at both Katniss and his sister, he raised his arm slightly, showing a gold bangle shimmering under the bright sun, causing Katniss and Cordelia to advert their eyes to the gold in Finnick's wrist.

"Good thing we're allies, right?" Finnick asked.

"Where did you get that?" Katniss asked, not moving her eyes from Finnick's wrist.

"Where do you think?" Finnick replied. Making Cordelia snap back to reality, realizing there's a certain movement behind their back. "Duck." The Odairs both said at the same time. Cordelia telling Katniss, for she could tell that Finnick would throw his trident first.

Finnick walked over to his victim, pulling out his trident out of the man's chest. "Don't trust One and Two. I'll be taking this side, while you hold them off." Finnick said nodding at Cordelia. Cordelia simply nods back. Her brother has chosen to forget their last night fights and focusing on completing their goal and she respect that.

"Peeta," Cordelia find herself whispering his name. "We have to find Peeta." The girl finally said, much louder this time. Katniss' worried eyes find it ways to Cordelia's worried ones too. The three finally take action. Finnick the one who go first with Cordelia following after, with Katniss who's preparing her bow right behind.

"I found him!" Cordelia yelled to his brother. "Over that platform." She pointed out, moving across the rocks watching as Peeta got a tribute attacking him.

Finnick hurriedly run to where Cordelia is, jumping from the rocks to dive in and help Peeta. For a moment, panic begin to rise inside Cordelia mind. She couldn't help him. And she should have.

"Damn it," Cordelia cursed to herself, feeling useless at sight of Peeta drowning.

"Peeta!" Katniss shouted.

After the loud sound of the waves, the sound of the canon boomed, making the two girls eyes widened in shock. For a second Cordelia felt anxious after seeing a body floating to the surface. She stay frozen, for there was no movement at all in the water.
