Finnick Odair Junior didn't know his father's name from Annie Cresta.

Finnick! You're gonna be late for school! Mother screeched. I sat right up. Yeah. Today we're going to start talking about the heroes who died in the rebellion in first period. I can't be late.

Mumbling a quick Hello Goodbye to Mother, I ran quickly to school. I was 3 seconds before the gate closed. The teacher-in-charge gazed at me disapprovingly. Learn after your- mother. She was never, ever late. I just nodded my head and sprinted to my classroom.

Good morning Odair. You're not late. How good. The teacher said. Then he turned to announce the crowd.

Children- you all know that the War occured 16 years before. Today, many are alive to describe it. I was there as well, just a reckless young teen living in District 4. He paused before continuing, You all sitting here come from different Districts, 1 to 13. The heroes we're going to speak about come from all of your Districts. Some may be even related to one of you. Your father, your mother. Your uncle, your aunt. Even your brothers or sisters.

As young children, we all know the names. Primrose Everdeen. Rue. Thresh. Alma Coin. Cinna. Mags. Finnick Odair.

Finnick Odair.

And today, children, we're going to start with Finnick Odair, our own hero. And who is the father of our Finnick Odair Junior. He gazed at me.

My breathing was uneven. I knew- no, I suspected that he was related to me. But every time when I asked Mother, she refused to tell me. That made me know.

It was hell as I listened to my teacher. To save his family and his lover, he deemed to sell his body, so that they could be safe. He was despised, but he never let his burden on the others. Drat. Although he seemed to enjoy the attention, his only true love was a girl from District 4, Annie Cresta. She was his tribute in the 70th Hunger Games, and she later went mad. But still he loved her and would not let her go. Crap. Near the end of the war, he was sent on a special mission with the Mockingjay, Soldier Hawthorn, and Soldier Mellark. They were attacked by Muttations. To save the others, he left behind and was killed. Damn.

Didn't I already know all of this stuff? I knew Mother cried herself to sleep when I turned fourteen. She never left our District, never said or let me go to the Capitol. Because Father died there.

Finnick Odair Junior didn't know his father's face from Annie Cresta.

The Mockingjay's husband opened the door. He started when he saw me. Oh dear you must be Finnick Odair Junior. Where's Annie?

She didn't come.

Oh. Do come in.

The Mockingjay herself was leaning over a book with two kids. Oh Peeta do you remember- She looked up. This is?

Finnick Odair Junior. I replied.

Oh. Oh. Oh. How's Annie? We haven't heard from her for a long time.

Uh, she fell sick with a bout of coughing last month. But she's better now.

I see. You've come to...?

All of us knew what she meant.

The Mockingjay disengaged herself from the two children and walked over to a shelf. Do sit. Her husband said. I sat. The Mockingjay took a thick leathered book and walked back. Here. She opened it to a page near the beginning of the book. Taking it from her hands, I read.

There was a picture of my father, hand drawn. Then I knew why the Mockingjay and her husband knew I was his son on the first sight. We were so alike. Same green eyes, same tousled hair, same body build. Jeez.

The Mockingjay put a hand on my shoulder. Your father was one of the bravest man alive. He loved you a lot, you know. And your mother.

I guess my eyes were blurring, because the Mockingjay's husband handed me some cloth. But they couldn't stop the tears.
