Her Victory, Their Life| F. Odair

24. Meeting the Baby

Finnick and the others got back just as alarms started going off. Enobaria looked around in a panic, "What is that?"

"Air raid!" He yelled.

"Go to the bunker!" Elliot yelled at them. "I'm going to control." That was his post if there ever was an air raid. Finnick treaded carefully down the stairs and got there with 3 minutes to spare. He found a bunk near Katniss's mom and sat down. "Hey little buddy," he said as Cameron opened his eyes.

The blast doors closed and Katniss, Gale, Evan, and Prim joined them. Evan was the first to notice Enobaria and the baby and gasped, "is that him?"

Finnick stood up with a huge smile. Annie walked over as well. "This is Cameron."

"His full name is Cameron Elliot Odair," Enobaria smiled at Finnick as she played with the baby.

"Emory?" Katniss asked and Enobaria shook her head.

"She made sure that the dam was going down, one way or another." Evan chuckled, shaking his head.

"Of course it was her, I knew it would be," he smiled sadly to himself. They all grabbed onto each other as the place started to shake.

"Let's get settled in, it's going to be a long night," Gale told them.

Elliot, Cierra, Cameron, Coin, and Beetee waited in command as the missiles kept coming. They were just hitting the ground, not major, they didn't know where to attack. By morning the air raid was over and the Falkum family was free to meet the newest part of the family. Finnick came up and Cierra, Elliot, and Cameron ran to him.

Cierra gasped, "oh, he's so beautiful," she cried. "Hi baby, I'm your auntie CC."

"Hi dude, I'm your Uncle Cameron," he waved at the baby. Elliot smirked.

"Do you want to know his name?" They both looked up at Finnick.

He smiled at his son, "Cameron Elliot Odair."

"Awwwwe," Cierra gushed as both Cameron and Elliot looked shocked. They were expecting that.

"Emory named him."

After the attack on the dam, everyone was either being bombed or forced to live as slaves. They were being made to fix the dam, no matter if they dropped dead by doing it, but they were proud. They did that. The Capitol was suffering because of them.

They found Emory at David's house and stole her. They took her back to the Capitol where they strapped her into a bed. "LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"

The door opened and in walked president Snow, "Dear, what happened, you were doing so well."

Emory started crying; she was so angry. He lied. He lied. He tortured her. He lied to her. "You lied!" She spit at him.

He rolled his eyes, "I did what I needed to, inject her!"

Emory shook her head as two nurses grabbed her, "NO! NO! NO! NO! AHHHHHH!" She screamed in pain. They injected her, but not with the drug they were using in the beginning, full Tracker Jacker venom.

"S-s-s-s-start t-t-he video," the voice was destroyed and Emory tried to fight against the bindings, but she couldn't. Everyone felt deafening. Everything was loud. The lights were as bright as looking directly in the sun.

They were as bright as Finnick's smile on the beach. They reminded her of the way his eyes lit up when they talked.

The screen lit up with the Capitol's symbol before changing. It was the same as before, the exact same video. It was clips from her first games. The people she killed, distorted from the drugs made it different.

The District 7 boy she killed started saying, "I swear, when I win. I'm going to go into the Capitol and blow it up, then I will become President."

"NO! IT'S NOT REAL! THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED! HE WASN'T A THREAT TO YOU! IT WASN'T HIS FAULT! IT WAS HIS FAULT!" Emory cried. Her voice was horse but she kept yelling. Little her whistled and they started running. She ran until she jumped down onto a lower part of the rocks and pulled on a rope. Her sword stood straight up and impaled him.

"NO! I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HIM! I DIDN'T MEAN TO! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!"

Only he wasn't dead. Little Emory smirked and took her knife, slitting his throat before kicking him off her sword and taking it out of the rocks.

It then changed to Snow's voice as it showed her crowning ceremony as the victor. "The Capitol is your friend."

Then it was her, speaking at her tribute parade. "If it wasn't for the Capitol, we, including myself, wouldn't be where I am today."

"We made you who you are."

"It's all thanks to the Capitol. My family and I only have them to thank."

"Panem will collapse without the order of the Capitol. Panem cannot thrive without the Capitol. Eliminate the rebels who threaten to burn it down."

One of the peacekeepers put a gun to her head, "say it."

She shook her head, crying, refusing to look at the screen, "No."

He pushed it harder against her skull, "SAY IT!"

Emory cried as she looked up, "My name is Emporia Odair, I am from District 5, I am the victor of the 66th Hunger Games."
