EMERALD'S P.O.V
We were face to face and I looked at him dead in the eye. It was only him and I left, soon this would be over.
"I'll see you in hell" he growled.
He didn't dare hesitate and stabbed me in the stomach. I made sure never to break my glare; I wouldn't look weak for anyone. He held on to me as if I was a fragile doll that would break to pieces if I fell.
"We already live in it," I laughed as I responded in pain.
He broke his glare for a second and then looked back at me.
"It's such a shame no one will ever get to feel those soft lips against their own anymore. You were such a beautiful girl emerald what a pity, but hey you're known to kill right after you kiss someone so… now why don't you get a taste of it" he whispered in my ear.
I looked at him slowly and he leaned to kiss me and I knew he would lunge the knife in my heart right after. My bag fell along with him as he fell dead to the floor. The bag showed some poison's berries peeking out. I had put some of the berry juice on my lips before him and I met eye to eye. It was all a plan where he would die as soon as he got a taste of it… I looked down on his body.
"You shouldn't have done that," I said to the motionless body.
They announced I was the victor. I was used to it though, winning the hunger games. This was my third time being in it. People thought it was luck the second time I won and they expected me to die this time, but now they know it was my fighting for survival that kept me alive. I recovered from the stab wound and was crowned as the new victor of district 1. Next was my interview with Caeser on winning and a big crowd would be watching.
"Ladies and gentleman I present to you all your three time winning district 1 victor Emerald Starling!" he yelled in happiness as the crowd cheered.
I walked in, there were millions of people there and I knew millions were watching through t.v too, even though I've been here before I would always be asked different questions so I couldn't mess up.
"Emerald, is it me or do you get more stunning as the years pass?" He asked as he hugged me.
"Well it's a thing called puberty Caesar," I respond getting a laugh from the crowd.
"Never fail to entertain us now do you? Your beautiful, charismatic and proven to be strong as you have been the only victor of the hunger games Crowned three times, And this is your last win as well since next year you'll be 19…now my question is why join the hunger games two more times if a victor never has to go in again?"
"Because I won, "I said with a cocky smile.
"But one win doesn't guarantee you'll make it out alive the next time, you would have to be very confident for that," He said.
"Why else would I join the hunger games three times if I didn't believe I would make it out alive," I smiled as the crowd started cheering my name.
"Did you get any doubts about that when E.J stabbed you?"
"None," I stated.
"Why?" he asked as everyone started leaning closer curious for the respond.
"Have you ever seen a finale where a guy doesn't hesitate to kill me?" I asked
"Now that you mention it, no I haven't," he replied surprised.
"If they wanted me dead right away they would have killed me in a blink, if they don't do that it means their weak and weak people can never win these games," I replied.
"So how where you so sure he would kiss you?" he asked.
"Well because I'm Emerald, the girl every guy dies to kiss with...literally, "I said this time laughing at my own joke too.
"I think we all know that since you have earned the nickname the kiss of death in the hunger games, that's the only thing that keeps me from kissing such a stunning girl," he said earning a laugh from the crowd.
"Now hold it Caesar, the other thing that might hold you back from that is that I have changed my ways and decided a man must take me out to dinner first before anything else leads on," I said getting an even bigger laugh from the crowd.
FINNICKS P.O.V
I looked at the girl on the screen, she had long wavy blonde golden hair that shined beautifully, and the only thing that shined more than her hair were her big emerald eyes that anyone could stare at for hours and not gets tired of and her insanely beautiful smile that always formed dimples on her cheeks. Her face was so angelic looking, and her laugh was even more. Her body was a perfect hour glass and she dressed perfectly to show it off, her skin was flawless and had the most beautiful tan tint to it that not even I could get, I was always lower or above that color never like hers and she didn't even go to the beach it was just natural. She was dead on stunning from head to toe and I have to admit when I first saw her my jaw dropped open and that says a lot from me since I am said to be one of the most attractive guys in the districts, But just because I thought she was gorgeous didn't mean I had to like her, those are two completely different things.
I looked at her and instantly and knew it was Emerald. No one could ever forget a face like that. I still think of her from time to time, how we first met when she was a newly victor and how I had won a year before her, how it all ended between us, how she absolutely hated me after, I wonder if she still does I mean it was two years ago that incident happened, I'd expect her to be over it especially with that new bad ass attitude she has ever since we stopped talking which was like two years ago at that time we were both only 16 though we had met each other at 15 first, it was just teen stuff kids go through, only that time it wasn't ruined by me or her, she blamed me, I blamed her, but it was Snow who did that.
Caesar continued to ask her questions, and she continued to answer ridicules answers that everyone else bought besides me. No one could be that confident and no one could actually think the way she thought not even me. It's as if she overdid it. I was known for being confident and cocky but it was just an act, hers was too it had to be. Us victors always had to pretend as if everything was fine though it wasn't, but the way she talked scared me, it's almost as if she herself really believed those lies she told and it started making me hate her, what if she was really on their side and thought of it as in honor to join those games.
"Well Looks like there's not enough time for more questions and you must be waiting eagerly to get back to your district, Emerald I'm honestly happy that your safe from Hunger Games now, because you truly have attached yourself to all of our hearts and I don't think we could bear losing you, and you have done an absolutely amazing job winning the hunger games" Caesar said.
"Awe Caesar, you all are like the family I never had, you all have been through this journey with me and I can never thank you guys enough for supporting me, I love you all and thank you for this great interview Caesar," she said hugging him, and then blowing kisses to the crowed as she left and everyone was left cheering.
I turned the t.v off laughing at how stupid these interviews were, I was there once in that chair and not even I could bring myself to act that pathetic. Sure I winked at the people, smiled, told them flirtatious things, but never would I be such a hypocrite to say I love the people who stood there waiting for me to die. This girl defiantly wasn't the girl I once wanted to be with where did that girl go? I'd have to travel 3 years back to find her.
THREE YEARS AGO
FINNICK'S P.O.V
"WHOOOUUUUUUUUUU!" I yelled out at the party as I was drinking.
How many beers had I had, I don't know I lost track at the 16th can. All I knew is I was up for partying, that's the only way I could enjoy it without thinking of how miserable this life was. I unbuttoned my shirt because I was in the mood; I always am when I'm drunk. That's how I keep Snow happy, by fucking women he throws at me. The more I fuck the more money he gets. It's been this way ever since I won the hunger games at age 14, all the innocence I had left they took it away. A year has passed since I won, the sex has gotten easier to deal with every day, and I've become quite the expert I'd say so let's put it to use today too.
I went up to a red headed girl who was dressed all fancy, too much cleavage showed though so I don't think getting her in bed would be a problem. I pulled her close to me making sure she could feel just how excited I was below. She looked up at me surprised but I could tell right away she wanted me as she bit her lip. I pulled her arm and led her to a garden where I knew no one would be at. I saw the nearest wall and pushed her against it as I kissed her roughly. She undid my pants since I was too drunk to do it myself.
"Get on your knees," I said at her as I roughly pushed her down
Her head started bobbing back and forth as I pressed my head against the wall. It felt good but I've had better. I began to feel really dizzy and the only thing that came out of me that night was puke as it fell all over her hair. She screamed in disgust as I pulled my pants up and ran to the nearest bush to puke more. I shouldn't have drank that much.
I was lying on the floor and she still was yelling in disgust as she ran away.
"I never said you could stop!" I yelled laughing finding everything at the moment funny.
I tried getting up but I kept stumbling down which only made me laugh more.
I was getting ready to turn just around the corner where everyone else was I felt like banging everyone at this moment since everything was a blur any girl would be hot enough to make out with, I would regret this I know but at this time there was no time to think.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a girl said getting in front of me as if I were a kid.
"Well can I do you?" I said bursting in laughter as everything just went circles in my head.
I couldn't see anything not even the girl in front of me, everything was like splashes of colors thrown all at once. Suddenly everything just went black.
The black color later went away as I opened my eyes slowly only to have a face inches away from mine as the light lit on her face.
''Are you an angel? "I whispered.
It's happening I'm dead, yet I find it hard to freak out with such a beautiful girl like her, she seems so unreal, to perfect to exist. That's the only explanation there could be. I hear her softly laugh; it's like a beautiful song to your ears.
"I don't think you'd ever make it to heaven," she says as she hit me right across the face with a pillow.
"I take that as a no, "I say as I grab the pillow…wait a pillow?
I look around me, I'm in a bed. It's daylight. She's in a room with me. The only thing I'm wearing is my boxers. It looks as if she recently got out of the shower, I've never seen a girl with such a natural beauty, that's not the point though, back to the topic who the hell is she and what happened last night…did me and her…
"No we did not have sex, you were drunk, I saved the day by getting you far away from my party so you wouldn't ruin it, I didn't know who you came with or in what so I decided to take you to my suite instead until you were sober enough to know what was going on and now that you are bye" she said almost seeming angry.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"A girl waiting for you to get out," she fake smiled.
"I like you…I'm…" I said before she interrupted.
"Finnick Odiar? The boy who killed with his looks yet really what did the job was a trident as you stabbed half of those innocent kids to death? Yeah, get the hell out of my suite" she said.
I've never had a person say that to me before, I know I killed people to survive but I was always congratulated on it...until now that she said that.
"I had to do it to save my life?" I said slowly.
"So you took away other people's?" she snapped at me.
"What's your problem," I asked her.
"People who kill children because their selfish bastards just like you, you must have enjoyed all the families grieving over their sons and daughters all because of you, you're a killer and that's all you'll ever be," she said.
"Fuck you" I said as my back was turned to her slamming the door.
I felt tears forming. I didn't cry a single time after the hunger games and I'm not going to let a girl like her change that. She had no right to say all those things to me, she didn't know what it was like being in those games, she was just a capitol girl living the happy life while people like me suffered because of people like them. I composed myself as I exited the hotel, tried going on with my day as if nothing happened. Back to the Finnick Odair who cares about nothing but his looks, fortune, and pleasures.
