(Authors Note: So basically, this is my first multi-chapter fic and, to be honest, I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I'm just going to go along with it and hope that it turns out good. Please, please, please review. If I don't get any reviews with the first few chapters I just won't bother. I hope you guys enjoy and constructive criticism would be very helpful. This goes out to my friend Nawar: make an account. Enjoy!)
Finnick was still in the Arena when they took me away. I was watching every step he took on my television in Victor's Village. Even when he wasn't on camera I would stare at the T.V, making sure I didn't miss any second of him. I stopped looking after myself properly. My only focus was Finnick. I wanted to be sure he was still alive and, if he did die, I wanted to make sure I had seen him take his last breath.
My hair became greasy and unmanageable; my clothes had stains I didn't bother to clean; my face became sunken and my body was bone-thin. I had decided that I didn't matter. Only Finnick mattered.
And that's how the Peacekeepers found me.
They just barged through my front door, lifted me up and took me outside my house. Waiting outside was a hovercraft and I was forced inside it and then strapped on a cold, plastic chair. My arms, legs and torso were all tied to the chair. Someone also put some material around my mouth, so I wasn't able to speak. I tried to free myself from the chair, but it was no use. Even though I knew my attempts were hopeless, I still tried to free myself.
I'm still here now, struggling to get out of this chair.
Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my arm and I black out.
'Annie, come on!' my friends call to me.
They're splashing around in the water and I'm watching them whilst sitting on the soft sand. I always preferred looking at the sea than actually being in it. I love the way the sunlight shimmers through the waves. It's hard to capture the beauty of the sea when you're splashing inside it.
'Annie, come on! Are you gonna come by yourself or do I have to drag you in here?' my best friend, Arianna, yells at me.
I decide it would be wiser to go in willingly, so I walk on the low cliff and dive in. My friends all scream as my jump splashes them all. I smile at my achievement.
'Oh, Annie, you're going to get it!' Arianna tells me.
My friends all grab me by the legs and drag me underwater. I take a deep breath in because I know that we'll be under for a while.
My friends keep dragging me further and further into the ocean, even when I'm fighting to keep my breath in. I look at them to see if anything's wrong, but I see that these people aren't my friends.
They're Peacekeepers.
The Peacekeepers are dragging me to the bottom of the ocean and I've way past the point where it's impossible for me to hold my breath. When we've reached the bottom, the Peacekeepers strap me to a lone chair and swim around me. They circle me like underwater vultures.
'What do you want from me?' I scream.
I just spoke underwater. That's not possible. And I'm breathing. Underwater. That's not possible either.
The Peacekeepers stop circling me. Every single one of them looks at me and they clap once, in unison.
That's when I see Finnick swimming towards me.
With an axe in his neck.
'Finnick!' I scream.
'Annie,' he whispers.
Finnick takes the axe out of his neck and throws it at my head. It's the last thing I see before everything turns blood red.
