This is my first shot at fanfiction, so I hope you all like it!


I look at him. That look in his eyes is too familiar. I know this kid, but from where is beyond me. Then, it hits me. He's Finnick and Annie's son. I wonder why he's in District 12. He obviously doesn't recognize me. I haven't seen him since he was a baby.

"Finnick!" I yell to him. He turns around and looks at me.

"Um, hi?" he answers.

"I'm Katniss Mellark. I haven't seen your mother in maybe 15 years!" His face brightens when I tell him that. I ask him how his mother is.

"She's hanging on." It's nice to know she is doing all right. When Finnick past away, she became very depressed. I really need to see her.

"What are you doing in District 12?" I ask him.

"I came to find you and Peeta."


When Finnick and I arrive at our house in the Victor's Villiage, I yell to Peeta to come to the door. He takes his time walking down the stairs, just to annoy me.

"What's going on?" asks Peeta when he is on the last step.

"This is Finnick Jr." I tell Peeta.

"My mother sent me here to find you. She wanted me to bring you to District 4. She said it's urgent," Finnick explains. Peeta and I go upstairs to pack our bags while Finnick waits for us downstairs.

"What does Annie want with us in District 4?" Peeta asks me. My response shows I'm as clueless as he is.

"I don't know. We haven't seen the woman in 15 years, and she sends her son who doesn't even know what we look like to find us. It must be important." After we finish packing our bags we head downstairs to talk to Finnick.

"Considering how late it is, Peeta and I thought maybe we could leave tomorrow morning rather than tonight. You could sleep in the guest room," I suggest. He agrees that it's late and I show him to the guest room. After Finnick is settled, I go to my room to get ready for bed. Peeta is already laying in our bed.

"Katniss," he says with a look in his eyes I can't place. "Seeing Finnick made me think. I-"

I interrupt him, "Peeta, I know what you want. I agree. It's time."f


I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. I know it's short, but I'll try to make the next chapters longer. Thanks for reading! Please review!
