"Help me!" I screamed as my voice became raspy. I'm surprised I still have a voice after all this screaming. "Cypress." Someone put their hands on my shoulder and pushed me down.
"Let go!!!" "Cypress! Cypress!" I stopped moving. "Johanna?" My voice cracked. "I'm here." I smiled, I pulled her into a hug.
"I told them not to touch me and they didn't stop." Her hand went up and down on my back. "I know, I'm sorry." My chest went up and down fast with each breath. "It burns." "What does?" "My chest, it feels like I've been running." "It's just your heart rate going up from adrenaline. It's okay your safe."
I shook my head. "No. I'm never safe." I pulled away to look at her, she looks so much different. "You had hair before, right?" She laughed slightly. "Yes, I heard your memory isn't that good anymore."
"I remember my games and the quarter quell. And the screams." "What do you mean." "Leo's. He's so loud but... he screamed on purpose. To trap me."
I said his name as if he was still alive. It didn't hurt to say.
"Was Leo nice?" "I don't know I've never met him." "I can't remember. I know I was the monster cause I killed him." "You are never a monster Cypress."
"Johanna, what did the capital do to you?" "It was nothing compared to what they did to you." I tilted my head.
"What did they do?" "To me?" She asked tilting her head just like I did. "Yes, but to me. You said it was nothing compared to what they did to me?" "You don't remember?"
I looked around where I was before answering. I'm in the infirmary where I was once getting shots from Prim.
There was a curtain up that normally isn't.
"Who's over there?" I pointed at the curtain. Johanna gave me a look of uncertainty, I could tell she wanted to continue asking me about the capital.
"Katniss, she was shot I think." "What!" How long was I asleep for. Was I asleep? I don't sleep in the infirmary, do I?
Johanna got up suddenly. "Jo?" She yanked the curtain to show a now awake Katniss.
"Johanna let her sleep!" I'm glad one thing I remember is how to scold Johanna.
"Well, there she is. The mockingjay." I fought the urge to pull out all the needles in my arm instead I grabbed the pole they're all attached to and walked over.
