deadly

leader

"Coin!" i shouted, banging on her door. "Coin, open up!"

she swung the door open.
"finnick! what brings you here? is everything al-."

"let her go!" i screamed.

"mr. odair, i don't know what you're speaking of. explain please?" she asked.

i shook my head uncontrollably.
"you have brook. and peeta and johanna. let them go."

she chuckled.
"oh but finnick, i'm not sure that president snow would allow me to do such a thing."

i closed my eyes tightly.
"at least...something. just...don't hurt them. not her."

Coin frowned. "perhaps you'd like to see her?"

i shot my head up. "yes! that'd be-."

"not in person." she turned around and showed a video clip of Johanna. she was bald. but she looked the same. acted the same. she looked okay.

then there was Peeta.
his hair looked blonder than normal. he looked worn out. and hurt.

then..
"brook!" i cried as the video cam revealed her.
"what did you do to her?!"
i snapped.

her hair looked darker. she was paler than usual. she had rings under her eyes symbolizing that she hadn't had any sleep. her teeth were gritted and she was fighting to get out of the bed.
i winced at the sight.
they hurt her. and i couldn't do anything about it.

"listen, Finnick. this was never my idea. it was all Snow. he's had a lot of missions. first Brook. he wanted her dead. you were suppose to complete that job. and since you didn't, he wanted you dead. at least hurt. he also wanted Katniss hurt. the plan was if it came down to you, Brook, Katniss, Peeta, and Johanna, that we would take whoever was closet.
which was Johanna and Peeta. Snow wanted to hurt Brook, so he took Johanna. he wanted to hurt Katniss...so he took Peeta. then Katniss died so he stopped torturing Peeta. then he took Brook so he could hurt you. 
he's been torturing her."

i started to cry. "can we make a deal?"

Coin lifted her chin.
"listening. what is this deal that you speak of?"

"you let all three go and...well, i don't know. i'll do whatever."

"whatever, you say? hmm..."
she thought for a moment.

"lead the rebellion. and stop all trouble from developing."

i gasped. "lead?! the rebellion?! are you crazy? do you know how dangerous that is? and how am i going to stop trouble?"

she narrowed her eyebrows.
"she could easily be killed, ya know."

i shook my head and hesitated.
i inhaled. "okay. i'll do it."
i closed my eyes tightly.
"just...announce it. and soon."

i turned around and walked away.
for a second time.
