Sorry there wasn't one up yesterday, no matter how I tried I could concentrate. So I decided to do something less serious for the Mortal Instruments… please don't hate me! I'm sorry most of it has been in Finnick's P.O.V. but I am scared I will fail at showing Annie`s 'madness'.

…

Finnick Odair

We parted ways and Opal and I tried not to show our faces of disbelief. Once me and Annie were up in my room I shut the door.

"Wow." Annie exclaimed.

"What is it?" I asked worried. Did I leave something back lying around?

"I was expecting something… I don't know… more dirty."

I looked around my room, for the most part everything was in order, the odd sock or frayed piece of rope lied around the floor, my bed was even made. Annie went down and sat on it.

"You know, I never thought I would see you lying on my bed." I chuckled.

She smiled slightly. I sat down beside her, "Aren't you supposed to be packing?"

"I guess so." I rubbed the back of my neck.

I didn't stand up "I don't want to."

"I know you don't Finnick." She wrapped her arms around me, she stroked my back. My heart quickened, I wanted to wrap my arms around her and stay like that forever. But I couldn't.

I slowly got up and walked over to my closet, I had to buy myself a suitcase, I could by clothing in the Capitol, but it made me feel like I was giving in to President Snow, that I actually was his puppet he could control. Plus Capitol clothing wasn't really my style I guess.

Quickly and wordlessly I packed, piling in shirts, shoes, pants, jackets. I had my own apartment there, it had extra clothing and other things.

I sat back down next to Annie a few minutes later, she was scarily quiet the whole time, I was afraid she was gone again but she looked over at me with sad eyes.

"I'll miss you… when you're gone." She said quietly.

"I will miss you too."

I stared down at Annie and she looked at me. "You know…" she said "I will really miss you."

Before I could say anything her lips crushed against mine.

She immediately melted into my arms, and her arms snaked up feeling my chest and then to my hair feeling the texture of it. She smelled like sunshine, the ocean and of my room. My arms slithered around her waist, and pulled her against me. She gasped slightly when my hand went off the small of her back, but her lips curled into a smile. My heart leaped faster and I pull her even closer to me, our chest heaved together. Our legs tangled together as we sat on my bed. Her hair was in my face and we desperately clung to each other my hands started to roam-

NO! I shouldn't be taking advantage of Annie.

I sprung from her and leapt off the bed, my body protested what I was doing, it badly wanted her lips on mine, and her hands rested on my shoulders. "I-I can't. I shouldn't have. We can't-,"

Annie eyes looked worried, her green hues stared into my soul "Why? Was it that bad?"

"N-no!" I shook my head fiercely, "It was probably one of the best things that has happened in the past few years-,"

She looked completely devastated, my chest burned, so badly I wanted to kiss her, to hold her. "I-It's because I'm… insane." The word 'insane' was bitter on her lips, she looked up at me, and her eyes were filled with vulnerability. "Isn't it?"

I looked at her completely shocked "Why would you say that? You know that's not true." My voice cracked "Why would you like me Annie? I'm the Capitol's playboy. One day I'm going to be used up. I'm not capable off love."

"Who told you that?" She asked sharply. "Everyone is capable of love." Her eyes were swimming with tears, it reminded me vaguely off the ocean early in the morning. A tear escaped her eye and ran down her tan cheek. I lifted my hand to swipe it away, but I was scared if I touched her all I would do was hold her and stare into her beautiful eyes, so I lowered it and kept it firmly at my side.

She looked down into her hands "Well m-maybe I should leave."

I nodded slowly, almost robotically "Yea. I guess you should."

Annie Cresta

My face burned with embarrassment as I left. Thankfully Mrs. Cresta and Opal didn't appear to be around as I crept out of their house. I was fairly sure Finnick was watching my go out his window. I stared out at the ocean as I walked home for some stupid I thought of the poem Finnick once told me about.

I saw you in the ocean,

I saw you in the sea,

I saw you in the bathtub,

Oops! Pardon me!

Pardon me for kissing you Finnick. My face became even warmer as I thought about it. I wanted to run back and kiss him one last time. It probably met nothing to him; I was the poor mad girl. He was a desirable victor. Lots of woman wanted him. In fact lots of woman paid to do things with him. I remembered thinking horrible things about him when I was younger, when he won his games. I thought he loved the attention he was receiving, that he loved breaking woman's hearts. He was a good actor because it was his heart that was slowly breaking and deteriorating. My face burned, but this time with shame.

The sun was hanging low on the sky, it was bright and cheerful filled with pink, red and orange hues, it reflected into the ocean. I stared at it as it disappeared behind the horizon.

I heard screams. I spun around, nothing was there. But I could hear them, they were so loud and they sounded like Alanna's screams, it sounded like she was sobbing. Where was she? I looked around trying to find her. I couldn't find her.

I covered my ears and fell onto the ground. It's not real. Not real, not real not real. I bit my lip to keep myself from crying out and tried to haul myself into a sitting position.

"Uh, you okay?" Said a deep voice, but since my ears were covered I could barely hear him.

I opened my ears and took my hands off of my ears. A tall, slightly older, muscular man stood in front of me. He had the cocky sort of stance and he had shoulder length blonde hair and luminous almond shaped golden eyes, which was odd in District 4. I blinked twice making sure I was awake and it wasn't a dream. It wasn't a dream, his eyes reminded me of melted gold and the pair of eyes scanned my body. "Ah," He purred "Your Annie aren't you?"

I nodded slowly. The screaming was gone. He sat down next to me, I felt sort of intimated by his closeness and prettiness, and he reminded me of and older, more exotic looking Finnick. "W-who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Wiley. I am a victor too. I live a few houses down from you." He started making shapes in the sand. His long fingers worked quickly and silently. He had the hands of an artist, I think.

Most victors kept to themselves here. I didn't know most of their names. "Oh." Was all I could say. He treated me like I wasn't insane. Like I was normal, I liked it.

"So Miss. Cresta, what are you doing out here so late?" He asked.

"J-just out for a walk." I lied.

The look on his face said he wasn't buying it, but thankfully he didn't push and pry like most people would. He looked up at the sky, the stars were starting to come out. They reflected off of his eyes. He noticed me watching him and he looked at me. Wiley slowly started to get up "Well Miss. Annie, you better get home." He smiled wickedly "Wouldn't want you grandpa to worry.

….

ANNIE! FINNICK UH THE ANGST!

I feel like I shouldn't have made them kiss (but I waited long enough) I want Annie to 'creep up on him' (hence the name). But I felt like the most romantic thing they were doing was talking. So I wanted to spice it up a bit. Hope you like it!

Hopefully them making out will make up for the lateness? *asks hopefully*
