Waves
A new fanfic! Woo hoo! I wrote this during school, in one forty minute period. Enjoy!
A light enters the dark tunnel, shining, as I raise my trident in defeat. It's all over now. Fighting for a better future, a brighter one, where my son could live happily. Learn about the ocean, and not needing to train for a death match. My own childhood, so long ago, was to train, to learn, you must sacrifice everything you are, to win these Games. My son. That I and Annie have made, will learn everything I should've learned as a young boy. Hope, faith and trust, and he will learn it the same I did, through my little Annie
Annie, who taught me that everything is never as it seems. You must keep your hope, even if all seems lost. Faiths, that you must keep your faith in those you don't trust. And trust. What an idea, that seemed hopeless for me, at first. My mother who died when I was young. My father, who was victim to the Capitol's evil, who paid the price when I was refused to sell my body. I trusted no one, until Annie came along.
At first, she seemed a hopeless tribute; she couldn't adapt to the deadly weapons of the Games, and was a sweet, innocent girl. The purity and selflessness of her changed me. The guard my heart had set against trust, had been shattered, like sea glass. And soon, I learned to trust Annie, I had faith in her, to come back to me, and be in my arms again
This mission, to help the rebels, will be my final reality, as my weapon has left my hands, to give my life to the mutts that have been employed to finish us. I feel the mutts teeth, the smell of roses and an innocent man's blood swerve the air, and I feel my death approaching. I hear screaming and I'm sure it's Katniss. She'll win the war for us, those who will perish, seeking a better world. She was such a friend, someone to count on. I remember, when I helped her hang on, to hold onto her sanity by tying knots, the very same way Annie showed me, to hang onto my sanity. I remember, her beautiful green eyes, reflecting by my own, when a bright light hits my eyes.
My life flashes before my eyes: the very first parachute from my family; my dear mentor Mags, maybe I'll see her soon. Chunks of my war; against the Capitol, replay, before my fading eyes. Annie, in her wedding dress, the aqua waves flowing around her, making her the most beautiful creature on the planet. I think tears fall from my eyes; I'm not sure, as my senses are fading away as well...waves breaking over rocks, my last visit to the ocean. But now I realise, I'll be returning to the ocean. As the waves of death, sweep me under its heavy tide, I say goodbye, to my little Annie, for the very last time.
Short and sweet. And sad. WE'LL MISS YOU FINNICK!
