A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first fan fiction! I hope its not too bad! I decided to start out with something simple like doing a bunch of one shots of Finnick and Annie. This may start to turn into a multi-chapter story if I keep getting into it. But, right now It is just going to be a bunch of one shots. The one shots will range anywhere from before Finnick's games to Mockingjay. If you have any ideas or suggestions for further one shots let me know in the reviews! Thanks! Enjoy :)
Disclaimer:I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS STORY. Even though I wish I did. Just like the rest of us do! lol
"Finnick!...Finnick!...Finnick!...Finnick!" I hear coming from Annie's room down the hall, followed by a loud thud.
I bust through her bedroom door tightly gripping the doorknob in one hand and my trident in my other. Annie is sitting up in her bed with her knees up to her chest crying hysterically. The blankets from her bed are strewn across her floor.
She must have fallen out of her bed, that's what the thud was.
I place my trident next to her door and slowly walk over to her, flicking on the tiny light next to her bed.
"Annie?" I whisper
She doesn't move, she must have had another nightmare. I kneel on her bed in front of her and place a hand on her knee.
Annie? Sweetheart what happened?" Still no movement.
"Annie, look at me, we can get through this together. Like we always do." I give her a tentative smile.
Her crying starts to slow down and her breathing evens. She looks up to at me fear radiating through her eyes.
"That's a girl! Can you tell me what happened?" I say stroking her hair out of her face.
"They had you Finn! This time it wasn't Charlie it was you! They made me stay and watch you be beheaded in the arena! You were gone Finnick!" she starts sobbing again this time even heavier.
"Shhhhhh...Annie its okay!"
I lean forward grabbing her up in my arms slowly rocking her back and forth. Being from District 4 the feeling of slowly rocking back and forth like being on a boat always calms babies and young kids who are crying or sick, this always seems to calm Annie down too.
"I am here! All in one piece, see?," I grab her hand and press it into my cheek and the rest of my face "It was just a dream Annie"
"But, the Arena and what happened to Charlie, was that true?" she asks
"Unfortunately, yes" I reply quietly
Her sea green eyes watch me very sleepily and she gives a yawn to follow. I look over at the clock next to her bed and realize its 3:15 am and I am very tired too. A smile suddenly spreads across her face and she lets out a faint giggle. She points towards her door and I see my trident sparkling in the moon light. I forgot that I brought that with me.
She yawns again and lies down on her pillow. I grab her blankets off the floor and lie them out over top of her again, I giver her a kiss on her cheek and start to leave. Annie grabs my wrist with the lightest touch and I turn to face her again.
"Stay with me Finn?" she asks sweetly
I slip into the bed next to her, she curls up against my side and places her head on my chest.
"Oh, and Finn?"
"Yes Annie?"
"Do you always sleep with your trident next to you?" she laughs tiredly and so do I.
"Go to sleep beautiful" I give her a kiss on the forehead
She drifts off to sleep immediately breathing peacefully, and I follow shortly after.
