Katniss had just fought through hell and back again, over and over, many times before but this fightâŚthis battle scared her more than any before. For once, she had more to fight for than her just her life and her sisters. For once she felt like she had more to fight for than just her family. She had people, more specifically someone, and that someone was here. Fighting with her. Cressida was not some damsel in distress, she knew that, but at the same time she had watched so many people die over and over again in the last few years of her life she was terrified that if she lost sight of Cressida here, now, she wouldnât get to see her again.
Arrow after arrow flew from her bow as she fought her way through. Even once or twice just outright smacking people with it in the face just to get them out of her way but after a while she just had to wait. Scared, alone, she fought until there was no one left to fight. She fought until the enemy was gone and all she had left to do was look.
âCressida-â She called out, her voice cracking in the panic she felt. âCressida!â each time she called she felt less and less hopeful that sheâd find herâŚthat sheâd see her again, hold her-
âCRESSIDA!â She shouted at the sight of the blonde, ignoring all others as she took off, running through the people, dropping her bow and quiver just before she opened her arms and ran right into her. Jumping up to attempt to wrap her whole self around her. She was alive she was okay at least she looked okay. âCressida- youâre alive. I- I thought. I was- I was so scared!â She could barely speak, trying not to fall over as she refused to let go. Her panic already set in too much to calm down even now with Cressida in her arms.
    She can take care of herself, she always could. Of course, the weapon and the training she received in 13 areÂ
certainly pluses. Somehow theyâd gotten separated. This would have been much easier for BOTH of them if theyâd been fighting side by side. Cressida had her eyes on Gale and Pollux, but she couldnât find the one person sheÂ
was looking for. Her head whipped back and fourth through the crowds, through all the alleys and the buildings &Â
she still canât find her. But thereâs an echo, a sound that makes her stop and listen and whens he realizes what itÂ
is her heart drops. The gun is hanging from her back, jostling and hitting against her uncomfortably when she runsÂ
but she doesnât care, she has to get to her. It clears, and Cressida is still looking back and fourth, back and fourthÂ
before she hears her name called again, this time up close.Â
     Before she knows it the breath is knocked out of her and sheâs LUCKY that sheâs strong because the forceÂ
nearly sends her to the ground but she manages to steady them, breathing out a sigh mixed with a strangled so-Â
und, Â almost like a whimper. The blonde woman is trying to remember how to BREATHE but her arms go aroundÂ
Katniss instinctively, holding her tight enough that sheâs concerned about the bruises that might be left in her sideÂ
and her arm. Cress squeezes her arm lightly, eyes shutting as she letâs herself take a minute to remember that they
are okay. That Katniss is okay.  â Katniss. Kat, Iâm okay, Iâm here ââââ itâs ââ are you, are you okay? God, I thought I lost you, I â I didnât see you anywhere and, â  She stutters, her voice muffled anyway against the younger girlâs neck where her face is pressed, inhaling her scent to prove to herself that itâs real. That theyâre fine. She finally pulls back, but the girlâs arms are still around her so tight that she can barely breathe but she doesnât mind a bit.Â
Her small hands come up, covered in dirt and smeared with blood that might belong to her or to someone else, and they rest on Katnissâ face, thumbs brushing against her cheeks as she looks at her, just looks at her waitingÂ
for some sort of injury confession or waiting for nothing at all, she doesnât know. All she knows is that, from whatÂ
she can tell, that sheâs okay & somehow, thatâs all that she can get her brain to believe matters. â you donât have to be scared. Iâve got you. âÂ
