here it is at last, The reunion of Finn and Annie. Probably not how how you imagine but her it is anyway

please review xx

The breeze whipped his hair as he stepped out onto the platform. He thought of the first time he had returned to District 4, after his first Games. He recalled the flashing lights, the cameras, the masses of well wishers and most of all the dark haired girl standing alone at the edge of the mob, a sad expression on her face.

She had understood even then the turmoil he felt inside because she was a part of him. His missing piece.

But this time the platform was barren, not a soul walked across the concrete floor or broke the silence.

Behind him he heard Katniss and Peeta exit after him. Katniss grabbed hold of Finnick's hand.

'are you alright?' she asked in a soft voice. He nodded unable to find words.

'Come on then.' she said tugging his arm gently urging him forwards.

'There's nothing to be afraid of.' she told him kindly.

And so they set off.

Walking through the area he had grown up in, seeing people doing normal daily activities; repairing nets or cooking, made him feel calm even though he didn't recognise most of the people they passed.

Many of the men and women and even some children waved or called out to Katniss and Peeta, obviously accustomed to their presence and most barely paid him any heed, or if they did notice him, they simply waved in greeting.

Until they passed one home, where a woman with shoulder length brown/black hair sat working intently on repairing a fishing net and having more than a little trouble with the knots.

Finnick recognised this woman immediately and knew that she was most certainly not accustomed to this manner of labour.

He chuckled aloud at her efforts.

She heard the sound and looked up instantly a scowl already plastered on her face to direct towards the perpetrator responsible for daring to laugh at her, then stopped.

'oh it's you two' she said frowning at Peeta and Katniss.

'I thought you were…' she broke off as she saw him standing beside them, she looked at him in disbelief and shook her head. Probably wondering if someone had slipped her something in her food or something.

'you…but you're…are you…Finnick?' she said tripping over her words, very out of character.

'Hello Johanna' Finnick said.

'Jo?' Katniss said when the woman didn't reply.

Johanna Mason looked at him, wide eyed then in a single motion she ran towards him, it looked like she was going to hug him but as she reached him, her hand flew up and slapped him across the face.

'That's for everything you put us all through. Where the hell have you been!'

Without waiting for a reply she shot at Katniss and Peeta,

'You told us you saw him die!'

Katniss looked at her,

'Jo, we thought we did, we were convinced of it, but then we were on our way back to see Paylor, when he appeared. Out of nowhere. It was like magic. He had no idea who he was, he couldn't remember a thing not even his name. He's been in the Transfer for years. Right below the capitol.'

Johanna looked at Finnick with a confused expression.

'But he knows who I am?'
Finnick answered this question.

'Katniss and Peeta helped...jog my memory.' he told her.

The woman looked towards the others for confirmation and Peeta nodded.

'we showed him videos of him…and Annie.'

'Annie!' Johanna exclaimed 'Does she know?'

Katniss shook her head 'that's where we're headed now.'

Johanna looked behind her briefly at the failed attempt at knot tying.

'in that case, I'm coming too. I give up on these stupid ropes anyway every time We're here Caleb tries to get me to try knots. ME! He knows I can't. anyway I am not going to miss this. Are we going or not?' she demanded.

She marched on ahead without checking to see If they were tailing her.

Katniss rolled her eyes then followed.

'come on' she said.

The group continued through the town until they reached a single house standing alone on the sea front.

'Annie!' Johanna yelled as they approached. 'Annie! Halloo! Annie!'

'what is it Jo?' replied a mellow voice which tugged as Finnick's heartstrings. 'do you really have to shout like that?'

'Yes.' Johanna replied bluntly. 'because I want to. Anyway, I have good reason to today-not that I don't always' she said moving aside to reveal the young woman standing in the doorway; her eyes light, no longer glazed over with terror as they had last time he had looked into them. Her hair was loose, tucked behind her ears to keep in tamed.

She looked past Johanna,

'Hello Katniss, Peeta.' she said with a smile. 'and hello to…'she stopped mid sentence as her eyes focused on him. Her lips parted slightly, in astonishment.

His heart leaped as he watched her comprehend his identity and he took a step towards her, at the same moment that she did.

Then they were running.

They met in the middle and he wrapped his arms around her and hers encircled him in turn.

'Finn!' she cried. 'you came back.' her voice muffled slightly by his chest.

'Always Annie, didn't I promise you?'

Just then a small voice called out

'Mummy!'

Annie turned automatically as the little boy hurtled towards her.

'there you are,' she said bending down to his hight (about 3 and 1/2 ft)

'did you have fun?' she asked him brushing a lock of dark hair out of his eyes.

'Yes, I played pirates with Daddy.'

Daddy.

that one word was all it took to break his heart.

The man came up behind the little boy and hoisted him up onto his shoulders, making the child squeal with pleasure.

Finnick suddenly felt like the earth had cracked, leaving him stranded on one side. Alone.

'I shouldn't have come.' he said quietly. 'I'm sorry'

Then he turned and walked away leaving the happy scene behind him.

A single tear rolled down his cheek.

the next chapter will be up very soon xx
