DANGEROUS WOMAN || THE HUNGER GAMES ²

4.

"Your body was not made for a lot of things! Like running or eating vegetables, right?" Thalia mocks, making Damian huff and pick up his pace.

Walking in front of the girls, he could hear them muttering praises and compliments amongst one another for their insult's about him; making him feel even more embarrassed. It was bad enough that he couldn't even lift a bag of flour without one of the girls help, but now not being able to trade insult's with his sister? 

This was the second to most embarrassing thing to happen to him. The first being when he asked out Thalia, and she told him that she had been dating Carrie for the past month; she was a fucking lesbian, and somehow he didn't notice it. Even thinking about it, he couldn't help but cringe at the awkwardness that had brewed in that moment.

"Look there's Hermes! He should know where she's at!" Carrie shouts, pouting at a now fearful looking Hermes; as he see the looks they are giving him.

"I call dibs on being the bad Peacekeeper!" Damian shouts, running after Hermes; as he attempts to tackle Hermes to the ground.

---0---

After cornering Hermes and a little bit of threatening to swaddle him to death with a pillow, the trio were able to get a room number and floor out of him; door number seven on the first floor. Running to door seven, Carrie grabs the handle just as Finnick was leaving; making Damian crash head first into Finnick's chest. Groaning in pain, both of them clutch their injured selves making the girls scoff at the dramatic's. They didn't hit each other that hard, it was almost like when someone bumped shoulder's with you.

'Ugh..Boys..' They both thought.

"Do you think she's in here?" Carrie asked, voicing her thoughts.

"Probably, Finnick was in here. He would be by her side if she was here." Thalia replied, biting her bottom lip nervously.

Rolling their eyes, Thalia and Carrie creep past the boys; entering the room with nervous smiles. Letting out a deep breath, the girls hold on to each other's hands and look at the nurses and doctor's. Pushing his way past Finnick, Damian and the girls scan the room for any signs of Athena but found none; making the nerves bubble in their stomach's. Looking at the closed curtains of one section, hope bubbles up when it opens up to reveal; a empty bed?

"Where the fuck is Athena?!" Damian shouts, making even more heads turn in the trio's direction.

"Damian! No cursing!" Carrie screams, slapping her brother on the side of the head.

"Don't hit me, Carrie!" He shout's, rubbing his head.

"Oi! Shut up! Some of us would like to die in peace and quiet!" Johanna remarks, making their head snap in her direction.

"Where is she, Fishstick?!" Damian bellows, sending glares at Finnick.

Rubbing his chest, He points to the last bed in the very back of the room; with the curtains drawn shut. Taking deep breaths, the shakily walked over to the bed; trying desperately to stay calm as possible. Many thoughts ran through out their heads, but the main one was fear of this being a lie that Finnick told; in hopes of it getting them to leave him alone.

"Is it just me or does anyone else feel like their gonna be sick?" Damian mutters, wiping the sweat off his hands.

"Nope⎯I do too." Thalia mutters, her hand gripping onto Carrie's a little tighter.

"Are we sure that it's not because of the cafeteria food?" Carrie ask's, looking at her brother's now queasy face; as he looks at some blood filled vile's that the nurse's were passing among each other.

"Maybe. Does anyone else feel like we're walking really slow?" Damian ask's, swallowing his stomach contents.

Picking up their pace, they approach the little sector with sweaty palms and jittery stomachs. Stopping in from of the curtain, they look at each other before Damian and Thalia give a Carrie a nod to open the curtain. Reaching out for it, her hands shook slightly from just how nervous she was at that moment; which only worsened Damian and Thalia's own nerves.

'You got this, Carrie..' Carrie kept on thinking, trying to boost her confidence.

Gripping onto the curtain, Carrie let's out a small prayer that it be Athena laying on the bed; that she actually be there, and this not be a joke of some kind. Pulling the curtain back, they all let out a small gasp as they take in the sight before them; sitting on the edge of the bed, getting her blood drawn. There she sat. Athena Grey in the flesh.

"You look like shit.." Damian mutters, staring at her with wide eyes.
