Annie's Story
The rebellion and war had ended, and majority of the soldiers returned safely to District 13. Notably Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Beetee, Plutarch... During a good portion of the war, I was mostly in 13's hospital, mostly unconscious and unaware of anything. When Gale returned, he told me that when Katniss went to assassinate Snow, she killed Coin instead and was put on trial. Katniss was eventually dispatched from the Capitol and sent back to 12 and Snow perished as well but not in the intended manner. I asked everyone where Finnick was but they never answered me.
I eventually grew tired of no responses and went to someone I knew could tell me: Katniss. I packed the few things I owned in 13 and left to Victor's Village in 12. It took me less than a day to get there but when I did arrive, I was exhausted. I hardly had any sleep with my nightmares and fears growing every hour I was without Finnick. My thoughts constantly turned into delusions which invaded my moods and actions.
I knocked on the door of Katniss' home and patiently awaited an answer. She swung the door open, surprised to see me. "Annie," she squealed, "What are you doing here? Are you okay? You look sick..." Katniss rambled on with concern and idle chatter with me which was unusual because I'd never known her to be so outspoken and talkative. I gingerly grab her shoulder and give her a cautious look. "Sorry!" she whispered. She escorted me into her home and I saw Peeta at a counter, frosting cookies. "Annie! What a nice surprise!" he exclaims. They simultaneously embrace me while I apprehensively accept and return it. "So, what can we do you for?" Peeta asks, wrapping around Katniss affectionately. "Well, I was on my way back to 4 when I had to stop by and talk to you about something...Where's Finnick?"
The two look at each other, grief and regretfully. "He's gone, Annie..." Katniss says, faint as a whisper. She swallows very hard and takes her time, carefully spinning her words. "When, umm we were trying to travel to the Capitol inconspicuously, we traveled underground." I nod for her to continue, "Before we reached the ladder that led to an opening in the Capitol, these new mutations attacked us and..."
Katniss' breathing quickens, and her voice begins to crack while tears begin pool around her grey eyes, "Everyone tried to get me out safely, even Finn and the mutts grabbed hold of him and the only way to save the rest of us was for me to blow the _ which killed him and the mutts -" I begin to rattle my head, not believing my ears. "No, he's in District 4 safely, right?" I say, "Isn't he? Isn't he!" I plead distressfully. They both shake their heads. I fall into vicious sobs while they both try to comfort me, "I'm sorry, Annie. I wish I could have saved him..." Katniss whispers. It's the last thing I remember before everything goes black.
I wake up in a soft, warm bed. I tenderly rub my eyes and look around. This must have been Prim's old room; it's filled with many photos of her, even a little shrine. I look down to the satin night gown I'm sporting. Katniss must've changed me into this before putting me to bed.
I walked outside the bedroom, seeing Katniss sipping a cup of mint tea, Peeta probably still asleep. "Morning, Annie! Did ya sleep okay?" Katniss asks me gleefully. I swear I've never seen her act like this before, especially after the games. "Just fine," I reply. "What's with you lately?" I accidentally blurt out. She's a bit taken back from my statement. "I mean, you're usually not this social" I elaborate.
She nods in comprehension, "I've been wondering the exact thing too. I've had these weird mood swings, strange I know..." I wink at her, "You're not expecting are you?" a deep blush appears on her face, "It's definitely possible. Peeta really wants kids, but I'm not sure I'm so keen on it." she says.
"What about you?" she says to me, luring me out of my random hazes. "What about me?" I ask. "Well you and Finn were attached at the hip when..." She trails off. I nod then realize. Could it be possible that maybe I could be pregnant? If so, how would I manage?
"Katniss!" I plead, "What if it's true? What if I'm hosting a Little Finn or a Little Annie?" I ask. "Ann, don't stress it!" she says with a slight chuckle, "I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow if it makes you feel any better". "It will," I say. "Hello, hello" Peeta greets us, he and Katniss embrace. "So, any news?" he asks. "I think I may be pregnant" I say. He laughs a little, but takes in the seriousness of the air. "Right, well...best wishes for that!" He exclaims with a smile. Katniss gives him a kiss on the cheek as he grabs an apron, "I'm heading down to the bakery. Let me know if you need anything!" He calls out the door. I look at Katniss alittle frightened. "Don't worry, I'll take you to the doctor first thing in the morning, alright?" I nod, "Alright" She sends me back to Prim's room to rest while she cooks us a stew. I stare at my surroundings for a while until my eyelids begin to droop and the room appears darker.
