When You Walk Through A Storm (hold your head up high)

Summary:

So, I know this Crossover is weird and I never expected to write something like this, but here I am. Plotwise the fic will only really start of in a few chapters, until then it's mostly getting to know the situation. It's written in multiple POVs and follows the story of Johanna, Katniss and Finnick, all of whom have their own POVs with focus on Johanna and Katniss, as well as the story of Bibi, also with her own POV, and how she manages herself in the Capitol. Eventually their storylines will intertwine and they will spend a lot of time together, but for the time being they won't interact. This is also a Joniss fic, but the Romance won't play a roll until the very far away future and I will mostly focus on the platonic relatioships between the victors. If everything goes according to plan I'll update every Sunday, but let's see.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

 

I can’t do this any more. My power is fading, and I don’t think I can continue much longer. I don’t know how long we’ve been here or how long I’ve been pushing through. Maybe I should just give up now. It would certainly make it easier. I don’t really like the idea of waiting until every last bit of my power has been drained, only for it all to be pointless. only for everyone to die anyway. It could be so easy. But that would be unfair to the others. They did nothing to deserve this. Neither did I, but at least I can do something about it. And if I go down, I’ll go down fighting. I promised them all that time ago. I promised them I would do everything in my power to help them and us. I can’t just break my promise. I can’t just give up. They certainly haven't, and I won’t either. I will keep on fighting. I will keep doing everything I can to protect all of them.

It’s already getting dark. The others are probably inside right now, but I have to hold on for a little more time. The longer the barrier has to stand on its own, the more unsafe it is for us. Only about 3 more hours, then I’ll let it be for today. I can’t afford to fall asleep. Not that that would be easy with all the noise. It's a quiet and unusual noise, to be honest. I don’t remember ever hearing something like that before; then again, it’s been so long that I don’t think I can remember everything that happened.

 

What’s that? I’ve never seen something like it before. It’s getting harder to hold up the barrier. My head hurts; I have to break the spell soon. The weird flying thing is getting closer. It’s steering directly onto the barrier. It’s going to collide. I have to do something, but breaking the spell wouldn’t do any good to any of us. I’ll just have to wait it out. There’s nothing I can do but wait. It’s only about 10 meters away now; they're going to collide. It’s going to-

Notes:

Ooh, ominous. I wonder who's POV this could be. It's a really short chapter because I hate writing inner monologues and I didn't know what I could add without repeating myself to much.
