Finnick's POV:
The day after Annie's birthday and Tarsi's deathday, I smelt the smell of roses resting in my sinuses. I hated that smell so much but Mags' house maid loved it and sprayed it everywhere she went. Her name was Effie and her tendency to keep everything tidy and clean was anything but normal. Effie also liked to scrub up on manors a lot, if at the dinner table I didn't say please when asking her to pass the peas, she would shout "MANORS!" Horrendously loud. Even so, she was relatively kind and she meant well. Effie trotted into the living room as saw the pair of us in our old clothes, half asleep on the sofa.
"Goodness gracious! Come on, get up, get dressed!" Effie squealed. I groaned and Annie covered her ears, closing her eyes. "Up up up!"
"Effie, please." I rubbed my eyes and yawned.
"Up you two!" she grabbed my arm and tried pulling me up so I got up and look her round the corner to have a quick word with her.
"Effie, please let Annie sleep. Her friend had an accident yesterday and he died." I whispered.
"Oh, goodness. I'm so sorry." Her face went pale and tears spilled over her false lashes.
"It's not your fault, would you mind if she just slept in a few hours? Neither of us got any rest last night." I gave her a quick hug then gave her a tissue from a pack that was lying on the kitchen counter.
"No, of course you can sleep in. Would you like some breakfast? I assume you haven't had any yet." She accepted the tissue and daintily wiped the tears away, careful not to smudge her makeup.
"Actually we haven't eaten since breakfast yesterday." Effie's eyes went to dinner plate sizes and she looked over to the fridge.
"Would you like anything in particular? I know when I'm upset, a big plate of waffles and bacon cheers me up straight away." She mumbled as she clip-clopped into the kitchen and looked in the fridge.
"Actually waffles and bacon sounds wonderful." I called back to Effie and I walked back to Annie. "Hey, Ann. How you doing." I knelt infront of her and took her hands away from her ears. She stared at me with her sunken green eyes, which were glistening with tears.
"No more." Annie whispered, the beads of sweat relaxing on her brow.
"No more what, Annie?" It was actually scaring me but I tried my hardest to keep calm for her sake.
"No more him." Her voice seemed to echo everywhere and it sent disturbing shivers down my spine and rattled my bones. "Cleopatra was a witness." Her frown broke into a crumbly smile and suddenly she burst into tears, screaming for Cleopatra and Tarsi. "Help me, Cleo! Tarsi, where the hell did you go when I needed you?" Finally Annie just screamed really loudly and grabbed hold of my shirt. "FINN!" She shouted in my face.
"Annie, I'm here." I whispered and held her tight.
I dont know much about what happened but I do know that this accident was destroying my Annie. Worst of all, there wasn't anything I could do about it?
