the two siblings forced into an alliance with two other victors, only for naomi to end up fa...
Everyone screamed each time the bunker shook from the explosions, fearing their lives were at risk. The lights cut out on them all, making them use small headlamps. Finnick and Naomi held onto each other for dear life, waiting for it to calm down a bit.
Later that night Katniss walked over to them, Finnick was resting his head on Naomi's shoulder as he stared at a picture in his hand.
"Hey," she spoke, Finnick fluttered his eyes open again. "Can I sit?" She asked the two, "Yeah," he said as he sat up off Naomi to create some more room for her, Katniss sat down beside him as he held onto the picture of Annie he had. "Snow's using Annie to punish you. He's taunting us with them. I didn't understand until just now watching that stupid cat,"
Finnick sighed and looked over to her, "After your first Games, I knew the whole romance was an act. We all expected you to continue that strategy. But it wasn't until Peeta's heart stopped and he nearly died that I knew even if it was, you still love him in a certain way and I had misjudged you. You put on this act where you don't care but in reality everyone can see you do if they look hard enough,"
"How do you live with it?" She asked him, knowing he was the exact same. He pretended not to care but in reality he cared too much. He loved too much, which was why he could barely function when he wasn't around Annie.
"I drag myself outta nightmares and there's no relief in waking up. But it's better not to give in to it. Takes ten times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart," he told her before Naomi let her head fall onto his shoulder, his arm hooked around her as he hugged her, knowing during this time she felt alone as well.
They all needed each other in this time. They were a big fucked up family now, that's how it would always be.
Once a Victor, always a Victor. You'll forever remember the trauma you experienced, but you at least had each other.

The doors creaked as they opened up again, Boggs lead them up the steps to see the destruction that had occurred and to let Katniss create a video to prove they were alive and well.
"So Katniss, it's 'Thirteen is alive and well and so am I,'. Katniss? Katniss," Effie says before sighing, "Never one to waste it in rehearsal, I know,"
They reached the top and crawled out, looking around at the little bits left of thirteen. Katniss stepped down into the middle of the rubble finding white roses all scattered around. Snow was telling her something, something only she would know.
She picked it up in her hand, staring down at it in disbelief.
"Why would they drop these?" Gale asked confused, Katniss looked up to him and Naomi, "For me," she responded.
