Hi guys! I'll be uploading more of my headcannons as I find them. Here's #3!
Finnick Meeting Annie
I can't stand it anymore. Another reaping tomorrow, more kids for me to watch die. This'll only be my second year as a mentor, but it's hard enough already. I got to know the kids way too personally last year. When I watched them fall, it was like someone had killed my little sibling, you know, if I had one.
I need to go out for a swim. It's the only way I seem to live these days, when trouble and sorrow work their way into my life. I pull on my swim trunks and bolt out the door. My backyard practically is the beach, I jog for a couple minutes, feeling the sand between my toes, until I reach the shoreline. I dive in. All of my problems seem to float away with the waves around me. It's just me and the ocean. I swim so far, I realize I'm way out of the Victor's Village area. I look up at the beach I've landed on, and I see a girl watching me.
She looks to be about my age, maybe a little younger. I walk up onto the shore and sit beside her. She looks at me, "Hello." she states. I'm surprised. Normally girls start smiling and freaking out when they see me. I match her neutral tone, smiling. "Hey. What are you doing out here?" She seems unfazed by my grin, staring out to the sea. "Same thing you are, forgetting my troubles." she replies. I'm stunned. She's so, deep and mellow.
It takes me a few minutes to do anything. When she doesn't try to speak again, I get up, and dive back in, swimming back to the Victor's Village. I take one look back, she's still sitting there, looking into the ocean, like it's a magnificent work of art. Which I guess it is. I forgot to ask her name, but I'll find her again, she'll be back.
