Hi y'all! I apprectiate all the reviews I can get, good or bad, they all help me in some way right!? So I am really excited to be writing about my favorite couple in the whole wide world Annie and Finick! So cute right!? Anyways this story is from the Quarter Quell all the way to the Mockingjay and more! Enjoy:)


Chapter one: the reaping

He stands there staring at the justice building stairs. He tried to look anywhere but at her; he didn't want to see the pain or worry on her face that he is sure would mirror his own if he weren't trying to keep up his facade for the cameras. On the outside he looked as excited as a kid getting locked in a candy store, but on the inside he felt helpless. He just wanted to hold her and take her home. The only thing he could do now was wait and hope.

Not her. Please not her. He thought to himself. As Laurina walked over to the bowl that held the names of the woman victors who were potentially going back into the games. His heart was flying and he felt more nervous then when snow had told him about the job he had to do for him all those years ago. Anyone but her.

"Ladies first!" Laurina said in her chirpy accent as she put her hand in the bowl and swished it around. Everyone stared on in anticipation. She plucked a card out of the pile of names and brought it back to the microphone with her.

"Annie Cresta!"

And his whole world shattered. He wanted to look at her, the pain inside him overwhelming, but he knew that would just bring attention to himself and that fact that he loved this girl with all he had. She started to scream and he almost broke down and ran to her. To hold and comfort her. Finally he gave in and looked over at the girls section. He could see her. Tears streaming down her face, shock and utter fear in her eyes. He hated what the Capitol has done to her. It pained him to see her like this. But just then he heard someone mumbling.

He turned his head to the front of the crowd of woman (it was more or less a group since there were only five other victors besides Annie) to see his long time friend and mentor, Mags stepping up onto the stage. He looked on in confusion for a minute before he realized what just happened. Mags had volunteered for Annie. Annie's screaming had turned into shallow sobs and she was escorted away by some peacekeepers, not wanting her to cause anymore of a scene.

" Now for the boys!" Laurina said in the same excited tone. He really didn't like his district escort.

"Finnick Odiar!"

He tore his eyes away from the scene that was going on behind him as the peacekeepers were dragging away the love of his life to see that he was being beckoned to the stage. It took all that he had left in him to smile, and stride up to where Mags and Laurina were standing. No one volunteered for him.

" Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your district four tributes for the 75th annual hunger games, Mags Partridge and Finnick Odiar! May the odds be ever in your favor." Laurina exclaimeD. She them motioned for them to shake hands and led them back into the justice building. An odd sense of deja vu hit finnick as he walked through those doors, a tribute once again.


Thanks for reading chapter one. Chapter two is already lined up and ready to go. I hope you liked this chapter, although it was pretty boring it only gets better from here. I will update on Saturdays and Wednesday's and possibly any other day if I can't wait for you to read the next chapter!
