Chapter 97: Someone To Save And Kill

"If you're expecting me to apologize for what I did to you and Rose earlier, it's not going to happen," I told Finnick as I tried to walk around him, but he blocked me again. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but his lips kept opening and closing.

"Let me through, or I'll break your bones." That was just a threat, because if I really broke his bones, who would be my lookout?

"The guy I saw at the hotel earlier..." he muttered.

"Who?" I asked, annoyed. "There were so many, Finnick. Be specific."

"The guy who saved you," he said, catching my attention." He was in front of our hideout earlier, and he was looking for you."

My blood instantly rose. I gritted my teeth and held his collar. "Where the fuck is he, Finnick?"

"Outside..." he answered calmly despite me cornering him. "I'll come with you."

We went outside. I scanned the place, but there wasn't even a shadow of Ash. All I could see were trees swaying because of the cold wind... just like my heart.

I couldn't understand what I was feeling. I wanted to kill him. I must. He's the reason I was forced to join this kind of organization... but right now, I just wanted to see him first. "There's no one here," I told Finnick. "All I see are trees.. Is this the guy who saved me earlier, huh?"

"I swear, he was here earlier!" Finnick shouted before pointing to the front gate. "I even talked to him there. He asked if you were inside. I said yes, that's why I called you." But instead of being glad, I just got angrier.

I didn't know who to be mad at. Finnick, for being so slow, or Ash, for acting like a coward and not wanting to talk to me?

"You should've just called me on the phone!" I pushed him against the wall again, even though his body was already pressed hard against it.

I was getting irritated because it seemed like he wasn't taking me seriously. He wasn't like this before. He always stayed silent, just observing around him, but now he was grinning at me while rubbing his back. "I left my phone in the basement, Sapphire-Whoa, whoa, f. uck! Are you seducing me?"
