It does hurt, and other than that anger, it's the first real thing she's felt since the Games. Panic surges through her after the pain, because Johanna fought so hard to be able to live and she's not ready to give it up yet. Later, she'll realise how stupid it is to think he would have killed her - victor on victor violence is pretty much never acceptable to the precious Capitol - but her instincts have kicked in from the Games. It seems as likely as anything else that has happened to her.
Don't be an idiot, Johanna. The sound of his voice prompts a fresh surge of rage, and her body bucks with a low cry that turns almost into a sob of frustration. She doesn't even know what she wants anymore, doesn't know what she's supposed to do. Being an idiot seems as good a plan as any.
