My first fanfic. So please don't be mean :( I know it's not long, but I liked it as this is
A/N : It's an AU around the time of the 74th Annual Hunger Games. OC/Seneca Crane pairing.
The name of the OC is Emma Snow. Daughter of Coriolanus Snow.
I'll start with the present, after this chapter there will be a flashback to the moment they met.
Only my OC and the imagination of this story are mine. It isn't based on any story but the Hunger Games. There will be some differences, though.


'Happy 18th Birthday Emma!' Why is the time going so fast? I slowly open my eyes and see my father and mother holding a big cake. Gosh, when are they realising I don't like getting older? A year older, a year closer to death, closer to miss Seneca. Suddenly I jump out of bed, running to my bathroom, leaving my parents with the cake in their hands. Seneca! I promised him he could take me out for my birthday. I don't know where we're going. It's a surprise he said. I'm curious…

I want a new scent for the shower, so I push a lot of buttons until lavender is set. It suits my hair. As fast as I can, I take a shower, blow dry my hair and make it wavy. I run to my wardrobe and grab a pastel yellow knee length dress. Running down the stairs, I hear my father calling with some of his employees. As he has his phone on speaker, I can hear the employee begging. 'Please forgive me president Snow, please don't fire me!' I pity him… My father hears me coming down, so he cuts off the call, standing below the stairs to hug me. I can't escape the breakfast. I have to eat the cake and open my presents. Great, a new scent for the shower, mint. I give my mom a small kiss on her cheek and run to the door. My dad's watching me with a frowned face. He knows where I'm going and he doesn't like it. Suddenly I hear someone singing 'Happy Birthday, dear Emma'. I look up and see the usual white pants, scarlet shirt, black coat and of course, his perfect soft beard. It could be no one else. It was Seneca.

I run to him, pressing a kiss on his lips. 'Hi sweetheart, happy birthday.' he whispers in my ear, while hugging me tightly. 'So, what's the plan for today?' I ask. 'It's a secret.' he chuckles. He grabs my hand and pulls me away from the driveway. I follow him, not knowing where we are going. He takes me to the park. The sun is shining and the birds are singing, while we lie down and study the clouds. 'Look, there's a couple kissing each other.' He smiles and his lips softly kiss mine. As my head is resting on my shoulder, he whispers 'You're my little cloud.' I smile and hug him tighter. The sun starts sinking as we lie there for hours.

Suddenly he ties a scarf over my eyes. 'Hey! What are you doing?' I giggled 'Blinding you.' he answers. I sigh, crazy little creature he is. With his arms embracing me, he pulls me up and starts walking. It feels like we're walking for half an hour. It's weird not seeing a thing, not knowing where you are going. Suddenly he stops, turning me around. He starts walking again and I can hear him open a gate.

As he unties the scarf, I'm surrounded by red roses. We're in a little rosary, alone. He knows I love roses, he knows I love silence, he knows I love him. I pull him closer to me, kissing him and whispering 'I love you.' He backs off en takes me to the middle of the rosary. Suddenly I hear horses coming our way. I look up and see a carriage with the most beautiful white horses I've ever seen. As a real gentleman, he gives me a hand and helps me getting in the carriage. I crawl up to him, as the carriage starts moving. I realize the rosary is bigger than I had in mind, as we are driving for like half an hour. Suddenly the carriage stops and Seneca helps me out. We walk a bit, when a table with two chairs, surrounded by roses appears.

The carriage left, so we're left alone. He escorts me to a chair and has me seated. We have the most romantic dinner of our lives. Suddenly he gets up and kneels. I feel my heart pounding in my chest. This is the moment. He's going to ask me. 'Dear Emma' he says while taking a little box from his pocket and opening it. There's a beautiful little silver ring shining in it. It has one little ruby in the middle and some little diamonds surrounding it like flower petals. 'I love you more than every single thing in the universe. Will you please marry me?' 'Of course' I whisper and jump in his arms. Tears are running down my cheeks while I kiss him more passionately than I ever did. He slides the ring on my finger and I see him letting some tears too. He lifts me up and carries me to my home.

Now it's time for the hardest part. Convincing my father. My dear Seneca is his employee, even his Head Gamemaker. He doesn't want to lose him, or me. The Games are on their way and Seneca has to work 24/7 for them to be perfect. He's afraid he won't succeed, because of me. As well, he thinks he is bad for me. He thinks I'd be lonely when the Games are here. I won't, but he doesn't listen.

As Seneca opens the door, I can see my father's face turning cantankerous. 'Mom, dad, we have to tell you something!' I yell while running to the living room. My mother directly notices the ring and hugs me tightly. My dad is frowning even more. We sit down on the couch, me crawling up to him, as we tell them. The first reaction came. 'No!' It was my dad's. I knew it, but he wasn't going to stop me. No one was going to stop me, I will marry Seneca.
