One last life, chapter 10
DALTON:
A smile presided over my face as I held the net over the couple, Finnick Odair and Annie Cresta. Or should I say, Annie Odair? Her face, usually contortioned in pain, is curved in a beautiful smile, illuminating her face and making her even more beautiful then she already looks. Finnick is smiling so large, I was afraid his smile would fall off his face. He seemed so...genuine. Genuinely happy. Every time I watched him on the news in the Capitol, I knew he was suffering deeply. But now, as this rebellion unfolds, he smiles genuinely. Just for Annie, I assume
I remember the last time I smiled that big. It was the day I arrived in District 13. After hitchhiking for days, I had arrived to the bombed area that was a facade to the district thriving beneath. District 13 Had survived. And I had never been happier. But now, Coin's face popped into my mind for one moment. Her plan to dispose Katniss has been unheard of, but I know because I heard Boggs and Beetee discussing it. Perhaps I should not eavesdrop, but I heard that Coin, once Katniss had used all her usefulness, will be left to die. For a martyr of the people? Or because Katniss is extremely influential compared to Coin.
This is what Snow had done as well. Maybe District 13 is turning into the Capitol, minus the ridiculous attitudes. But Snow and Coin seem to think alike, and the last thing we need is another Capitol to take over.
