So, I'm going on vacation for a week and I won't be able to upload as often as I would. And I just... I just can't get any ideas. I think this will end soon... She'll mentor, then there will be fluff... If anyone has ideas, I need your input! Any big things... Review or PM. Thanks!
I woke up later, my head pounding, sheets covering my body. I groaned and pushed the sheets down from my chin, looking around. "Annie!" A relieved voice whispered from the corner. I looked towards the voice and saw Finnick watching me, eyes full of worry.
I looked at him quietly, eyes wide. I tried to remember what had happened before, when I'd left the justice building of Twelve. I took a deep breath, watching the emotions that flashed across Finnick's face. Pain, worry, relieved, stressed, care. He smiled slightly then bit his lip.
"Annie?" He frowned. "Are you okay?" I watched him. Am I okay? I just feel tired now. Why did I freak out earlier? Why did Twelve effect me so much? What happened?
The cheers of Twelve echoed through my brain, reminding me of that time.
-Vetro and I were walking through a meadow, the grass fronds twirling at our feet. We didn't talk, we didn't want to alert anyone. It was too late. The Careers had seen us. We didn't see them as they came closer to us. Soon, Shine jumped out, attacking me. I jumped quickly to the side, avoiding his sword easily.
Diamond swung for me with her axe and I bent, the axe going over my head. I looked at her, "Why aren't you allied with Two?" We began a dance, her striking and me jumping out of the way easily.
"We killed them." She gasped, attacking me again, missing by an inch. "Rian and Evaline." She laughed softly. "Shine? Did you kill the boy?"
She turned, giving me an opening. I ran towards her and jumped, kicking her chest. I saw Shine run towards her, leaving Vetro. "Vetro! Run, come on!" I didn't turn back to see if he was following or whether Shine and Diamond could follow.
"Vetro!" I turned around to see him trip. "No!" He got up, just in time for Diamond's swining axe to dislocate his head from his body. "Vetro!"
I saw the blood and I started screaming, the screams reverberating around the edges of the meadow. My vision turned red and I looked at Shine and Diamond. "You killed him. You monsters!"
I ran towards Diamond, growling when Shine jumped in front of me. "No!" I screamed. He attacked me, the sword making an arc toward me. I ran for ward, pushing him to the ground. "Die." I grabbed the sword from my grasp and smiled when I saw fear in his eyes. I thrust the sword into his heart, farther, into the ground.
All light in his eyes disappeared in the instant I pressed the sword into his body. His hand, which had been going to my throat, fell limply to the ground. I heard the footsteps of Diamond retreat into the woods. I heard the two cannons echoing in the arena. I pulled all of Shine's belongings and set them to the side before walking to Vetro's head. I took his head in my hands quietly and pressed my lips to his forehead, which was already cold.
"Goodbye, sweet young Vetro." I left quickly, hoping to forgot what happened.-
Finnick watched me. "Annie?" He went to me and sat beside me. "Annie... I believe in you. I know you won't be like this forever. You will talk again. You will care." He bent forward and kissed my forehead. Tomorrow we're going home, Snow cancelled the interview." He smirked. "To the disappointment of the Capitol. Either way, Annie, you'll be home again. Won't that be fun?"
I stared at the wall quietly, my eyes wide. Home. Going home.
The ocean, the beach, the beauty... I'm so homesick.
I want to go home.
Review, Review, Review!
