《Doe In The Meadow | Peeta Mellark》twenty

I stretched out my legs as did the other tributes. Mags and Finnick stood near me, chatting. Cassian was off somewhere doing whatever it is that he does, which I still couldn't figure out what that happened to be."You good?" Finnick asked me and I snapped out of my trans.
"What? Yeah, why?" I asked him, confused.
"You're staring at Johanna like she's something to eat." He laughed a little and I straightened up.
"She just," I tried to find the right words, "irritates me." I assured him. "But I'll let you know when the feast is." I looked to see him with a cheeky grin on his face.
"So fiery." He commented, picking up the trident and leaning into it. "It's like that time where your mother told you that you couldn't get that god awful piercing on your nose and so you took all her jewelry and strung it up along the house like christmas lights." Finnick began to laugh hysterically.
"I was like thirteen when I did that." I smirked at him, glancing over at the weapons rack.
I approached it, and I looked down at the similar katana as it stared back at me and couldn't bring myself to touching it. It looked a lot lighter than last years and more flexible, I knew I could work with it. Becoming one with your weapon is key. But to do so, that meant I needed to pick it up.
"Need some help?" Finnick asked as a joke at first, but I couldn't move. My fingers felt numb, as it crept through my body. "Jesus, kid, you're trembling." He dropped his weapon and held onto me as the shaking continued and I backed into the wall, underneath the gamemakers, out of their view. I just kept shaking my head in protest.

"I can't." I simply stated.
"It's okay. Just breath." He continued to hold me as my knees turned to jell-o and I dropped to the floor. "Arizona, relax. Just regulate your breathing, it'll be okay."
"It's not okay, Finn, I killed someone. I killed two people." I cried. "I can't breath." I began to hyperventilate, reaching at my throat. I watched as he glanced around the room, making sure none of the other tributes noticed my weakness. Mags sat next to me as he ran off and moments later, returned with Peeta.
"I didn't know what else to do, figured you could help her." He told him. "I've never seen her like this before."
"Oh god, Arizona," Peeta rushed over to me and pulled me into his arms. "Hey, hey, calm down, it's okay." He said, and just his voice was able to calm me. After a few minutes of just feeling his embrace and warmth, I was finally able to stand once more.
"I'm- I'm sorry." I told them, in a hushed tone.
"Don't be sorry, Arizona, It happens." Finn assured me, sending a sympathetic smile at me.
"Well, that was pathetic." We all looked over to see Johanna, arms crossed, scoffing.
"Can you fuck off?" Finn snapped at her as she pranced away, with a smug grin.
I clenched my fists as my teeth felt like they were going to shatter in a million pieces, and charged over to the blade on the weapons rack, grasping it in my hands and whipping it across the room, as it just barely missed Johanna's head and stuck itself perfectly in the wall in front of her. She turned to me, eyes widened and mouth gaping like a fish without water.
"What's pathetic?" I shouted across the room, tilting my head to the side as all the tributes looked to me, including gamemakers. "Bitch."

RANK
Alpha of the Darks, Vince, imprints on Nya but keeps it a secret.ExcerptVince was resting in bed running the day's events through his mind when his heightened sense of hearing was alerted to the sound of ruffling sheets. Little feet hit the ground telling him it was a female and the odd placement of footsteps lets him know it wasn't Malina. He rises and when he widens his bedroom door Nya's scent flooded through his nostrils. He clears his throat instinctively and follows the smell into the hall. There he finds her coming straight towards him. He was surprised she was up this soon. She should have been out until the morning at least. Her foot was healed and her clothes were changed from earlier. She was now wearing a fitted cotton t-shirt, soft plaid shorts, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. "What are you doing?" He folds his arms and angles his brows. She keeps her same pace beelined to him.Never, has he ever had the thought of taking a step back when being approached; until now that is. He hesitated. He firmly refused to let anything make him back down. This was his house, his rules, and she had no power over him. His focus inadvertently fell to her breast that lacked cover from a bra, and then to her smooth thighs, and like he has absolutely no control, to her toned calves. She was a foot away when the moon's glow from the skylight illuminated her face. His heart skipped a beat. It had never done that before. Then his train of thought went right off the tracks. He didn't realize how thick her lashes were, or how perfectly red her lips were stained. Where earlier she was pale, she now had a flushed pink color. The darkness from under her eyes was gone and her cheeks were slightly fuller too.He blinks away his unwanted thoughts when she stops inches from him.With a neutral gaze, an expressionless expression almost, she makes a sudden turn and goes around him. "What the f**k?" She was sleepwalking he registered.
