Who: Katniss & Finnick
What: Katniss has a nightmare. Because that's a thing that always happens.
When: Monday night, late (or early Tuesday morning)
Where: their apartment, 2610
Warnings: descriptions of death/explosions/bombing in the nightmare. Lots of emotions throughout. Otherwise, probably not much.
Her first day in New York City had been distracting enough to keep her mind off of most things, but when night came, Katniss returned to District 13 in her dreams. She was back in the cramped space far beneath the ground, tons of rock and metal above her head-- and then it started to collapse around her. She was surrounded, buried in falling debris, fighting to get out, to get to Prim, who had only been a little ways away in their mother's bed. Her ears ringing with the sound of explosions, she struggled to breathe.
Suddenly the attack was over, and somehow she'd survived-- or maybe she'd died, and had left her body to observe the destruction around her. District 13 was a crater, turned to smoke and rubble the same way that District 12 had been. She stepped away from the pile of rock that had been covering her, and her foot hit something. A small skeleton. Prim.
Katniss woke with a strangled scream, tears streaming down her face. Her limbs flailed and thrashed around, trying desperately to free herself from the blankets and sheets that she'd managed to trap herself in during her sleep. Just a dream, she told herself, but it was no comfort when she still couldn't breathe, couldn't get the images out of her head. When there was nothing to reassure her, anywhere around her, that they weren't real.
