Chapter 8
Looks like I have a lot of explaining to do. Sorry about killing Eve. It was part of the plot all along. I thought: why else would Mrs Mellark think Katniss had a better chance than her own son? If you want my view, watch The Hunger Games-Character Theme Songs by MieR. Listen to her song carefully and there's my answer.
I OWN MY FEWLIVING OCS, NOTHING ELSE.
Finnick's POV
"I knew the Game-Makers would never let Coral out. It shocked me incredibly when they didn't send some insane mutt after her. When the final showdown took place, I actually... th-thought she might have m-made it out."
Oh, damn was I wrong.
It was Alia, Eve, Coral, Tristan, Leah and Alyssa left. The career girls turned on each other remarkably fast. Alyssa went in the blink of an eye. Leah gave Alia a smirk before forcefully lodging a knife through her eye, half-way into the Cornucopia. Her cannon went and then I knew for definate Coral couldn't beat her. Leah then charged at Coral until she saw Eve. She then proceeded to throw a knife at her that strook her in the back. Blood ran down her back like a river.
She cried out in pain before it happened. The she-devil from two had Coral in a head-lock then soon after, a decapitated Coral fell to the floor, lifeless.
My memories are very vague from that point to when I returned home. I only remember that I sobbed hysterically, cried myself to sleep for about a week and Johanna and Mags trying to cosole me.
"I've lost my Mum; Dad; sister, Lillea; Aunt Ashleigha; Uncle Harvey; my other cousin Madeline and now C-Coral too. Sh-she was the only family I had left."
Any one in the Capitol that would normally have me for business refused to hire me as they knew I was mourning my cousin. One nice lady did hire me just so she could try to calm me a little more and also so that I wouldn't have to be a prostitue 2 hours after Coral's death. I basically sat down with a mug of hot chocolate and cried the night away.
When I got back to District 4 with Mags, I went into Coral's room and sobbed as hard as the dreadfull final showdown. Mags soon knocked on the door to tell me that they had given Coral sugery so she had her head again. She was still wearing her token: a chain bracelet with sea-themed charms hanging down. There was two; one used to belong to my mum and the other to my aunt. They then had passed them down to Lillea and Coral. I was given my sister's the day after her death. Mags then carefully removed Coral's from her wrist and placed it in my hand. A new batch of tears ran down my cheek. Mags left me with Coral for me to say my goodbyes, eventhough she was already gone.
I kissed her forehead and pleaded her to come back, to not leave me. After 20 minutes, my voice was gone and my eyes hurt as I had rubbed them so much. She was way too young to die.
"I also remembered how I didn't like Eve that much when I first met her. When Johanna then told her about my contract with Snow, she seemed more than just a tribute that was going to die. And when she decided to be allies with Coral, I was astounded. I genuinely believed she could win.
Then it hit me. Eve had 3 younger brothers that were going through the exact same as I was. They were 12, 11 and 10. I just can't imagine how traqumatizing it is to lose someone when you're that young.
"Thank you for coming to the funeral of C-Coral Odair," I choked out. "It m-means a lot to me."
Everyone leaves except Mags. "Are you okay?"
"I'm not okay, but I'm better that I was,"
This was REALLY deep. I just wanted to capture what Finnick would be like after Coral's death. Updates will probably become really frequent over the Easter holidays as I am away from school, so see you then!
EAH HG GEEK
