*This is a very short chapter, but I promise that tomorrows will make up for it! Happy Reading (: ~Dawn xx
I think I finished my love letter to Mira. I thought it was alright. I totally rewrote it, and I have to say, it is ten times better than before.
Dear Mira,
You taught me how to love. I can never repay you for that. You're a beautiful girl who deserves to move on from me, because surely, I'm dead. Long gone and unreachable, so move on, because you deserve to do something other in your life than grieve.
I believe that you have a sister that died, and you never told me. It's just another thing that we share in common. I had five sisters that died, and Marina was your sister's age. I wish that they could meet.
The best thing about our relationship is that you really connect to me and that we like each other a lot. I believe that we have a bond unbreakable, even now that I'm gone.
I just wanted to say that I really like you,
From, Finnick.
It was a bit overwhelming; all of it. I didn't want to keep on writing Jo's oath, so I put that off for a little while.
I couldn't stop thinking about how Lachlan wants to kill Coral. What kind of a twisted bastard would do that? I started freaking out at the thought. I had to keep Coral safe. I had to bring her home. She's so innocent!
I didn't want to go to the MSC or to lunch, so I got an avox to bring me some warm milk and toast. I thanked him and ate.
I must have been screaming in my sleep, because Mags woke me up. Then I remembered perfectly. I was having a nightmare.
Lachlan was chasing me with Deion's threatening sword. When he had killed me, I saw Coral. She was in a locked cage with Tylie. They both chanted in unison: "Finnick! Save us!"
Johanna then rounded on me. She pulled an axe from her head and killed me skillfully and painfully. Then Deion bet her, screaming that I was his kill. It was all too vivid for my liking.
But I had to remind myself that it was just a big nightmare.
"What happened, Fin?" Mags asked, turning the lights on.
"I had a nightmare."
Mags nodded understandingly and sat on the edge of the bed. "Would you like me to sing to you?"
I nodded.
Out in the sea,
A sailboat shines,
Made out of glass,
The long stretch of mass,
Glimmers in the sky,
So high!
I'll never forget,
You, my love,
And never the less,
Reach to you, my love,
Because when the time comes,
I'll carry your wisdom.
Out in the sea,
A sailboat shines,
Made out of glass,
The long stretch of mass,
Glimmers in the sky,
So high!
Because it's made,
For you and for me.
Tears sprung to my eyes. I had heard that song so many times, but it never falters to give me tears.
Mags held me for a while, and then told me that I had to get ready for the party with the gamemakers. I nodded ruefully.
I groaned when Clementine gave me a package. It was the dress I had to wear to tonight's party with the gamemakers.
The dress was bright yellow and barely covered my ass or my breasts.
"President Snow picked it out himself!" Clementine spoke as if that were a good thing.
