Disclaimer: I own nothing A/N: I'm strongly considering just not really going into detail with Finnick's games and skipping to when he's in the top 5 because that when shit gets real :-o so pm or review and let me know.
Chapter 10:
Finnick POV:
We reached the building where we would live and train until the games. We piled into a contraption known as an elevator that made my stomach flop as it swiftly took us to the fourth floor. Once we reached our floor we were shown to our rooms for the next two weeks where we'd be housed. There was a humungous bed in the middle of the room and across from it was a humongous closet filled with more clothes that anyone could wear in their lifetime flanked by a bathroom that was twice the size of my bedroom at home.
I sighed to myself quietly, feeling the weight of the day's events and felt the need to take a shower in hopes of somehow washing away my fear and discomfort. I stripped and stepped into the monstrous shower and began fiddling with the buttons when I was pounded with scalding hot water from all directions, causing me to curse rather loudly. I jumped out of the shower and bumped into a startled Chrysanthemum. "Oh Finnick!" she shrieked ogling at places on me no one but I had seen since I was a baby.
I quickly grabbed a towel, ending the show early to her dismay. I felt dirty under her gaze, "I was just coming to tell you that dinner was ready, but I'm sure the others will understand if we are a bit late," she smirked. I nearly threw up all the contents of my stomach as she raked my towel clad body over with her eyes. She had to be at least 30! Did these Capital citizens have no scruples?
"Please leave Chrysanthemum," I asked trying and failing to contain my anger and disdain for the woman. "Well, well I see Fiona is not the only rude one we have this year," she huffed turning and stalking out of the room. I returned to the bathroom and locked the door frightened for another mishap to take place. I fiddled with the water careful only to stick my hand in to ensure the water was a safe temperature before getting in. I showered for what seemed like forever and then got out. I skimmed over the ridiculous amount of clothes provided by the capital and decided on the simplest thing I could find, silk pajamas, lovely.
I wasn't hungry I was tired I didn't care that it was only what seemed to be around 9 but I didn't care. I didn't want to see anyone or talk about strategy, or eat with Chrysanthemum while Fiona killed me with her eyes. I wanted to sleep I wanted to go back to district four with Thom and my parents and Annie. My pity party was interrupted by mags entering my room, shutting the door behind her. Noticing the look on my face she questioned me, " Are you alright, Finnick," a concerned look gracing her features. I told her about what happened Chrysanthemum.
She hung her head sadly and wobbled over to the side of the bed I was on, "I'm sorry, Finnick," she hugged me lightly before continuing angrily, " She had no right to do that. Wait till I see her I'll snatch that stupid wig right off her head, messing with my grandchild like th-" We both looked up at each other in shock, me for what I'd just heard and her for what she just let slip.
"Excuse me, your what ," I stared at her in utter confusion. She couldn't be my grandmother, my father's parents died while my mom was pregnant with me, and my mother didn't know her parents. "Oh Finnick, I'm so sorry. I will tell you everything," Mags rushed to explain. I sighed, holding my head in my hands and I waited for the onslaught of emotions that I knew would come from whatever story this lady was about to tell.
A/N: Short I know but I need to kill some time before I decide what I'm doing with these games. I updated so late because no one tells me what they think so idk what to write. So review *cough cough*. The fire within me is dwindling lol. Reviews are gold :D xoxoxo
