Forever And Always | Finnick And Annie Love Story

The games pt 3

It was five days into the games. There were only 8 tributes left. 13 died at the cornucopia and the other 3 included the two that me and Alistair killed and some other girl from district 3. I'm still a mess from the cave. I just can't believe I killed someone. I felt so gross and bad. Alistair and I found water and killed a few squirrels. We were pretty set on food and water. We stayed next to the river we found water in and ate the squirrel on a log. We heard screams and then two canons went off. I guess that's 6 tributes now. Only us and the careers. Wow, we've made it this far. I can't believe it. We never once went to the cornucopia. We found all of our weapons on the already dead tributes. Gross I know, but it was the best way to stay away from danger. I found a belt of throwing knives on a guy from district 6. I remembered him at training. He was only 14, he was pretty good with knives too. Alistair found some crackers and a bottle of water. We were doing really good.
A: So, how are we gonna kill the careers?
Al: Traps. Finnick taught me some.
My heart skipped a beat at the sound of his name. I missed him so much. I missed his hugs and the safe feeling I got when I was wrapped in one. I missed his smile and the sound of his laugh. I had to win this, for my family, for Alistair, and for Finnick.
Al: Hello?
A: Huh? Oh sorry. What were you saying?
Al: You really like him don't you?
A: *sighs* Ya I guess I do.
Al: Another reason for you to win. *smiles*
A: Al? What's going to happen once the careers are dead?
Al: I'll eat nightlock. You're the victor here Annie. You're the one who's gonna win.
A: *tears up* But what about you?
Al: I've made my decision. Dying for a friend is the way I will go.
A: *tear falls* I can't let you Al.
Al: *wipes away tear* Yes you can Annie, you have to. That's just the way it has to be.
A: *hugs* Thank you Al. *cries* I love you.
Al: I love you too Annie.
Night
It had been a long day. A lot of walking and caution. We were always scared a career would pop up out of no where and kill us. We found a tree and as usual, we took turns sleeping. I slept for about 4 hours and Alistair sleep for about 3. We were exhausted, but survival was key. We had to keep moving. We had to stay alert. Alistair decided to get some water since we were running low. I got up and started collecting edible berries. Everything was all good until I heard a huge splash. I called out to Alistair and he didn't respond. I ran over to the lake with fear in my eyes. Please let him be ok. Once I got to the lake and I saw a guy career from district 1 holding Alistair's head down underwater. I grabbed a knife and threw it into his head. He fell face first into the water and Alistair wasn't moving. I ran over to Alistair and pulled him out of the water. I slapped his back, trying to get the water out of his lungs. Water flew out of his mouth, but he still wasn't moving. I kept slapping his back, but nothing happened. He remained motionless as water ejected from his mouth. I started to panic.
A: Al? Alistair do you hear me? Al please! *tears up* Al you've gotta wake up, I can't do this without you! Please! Please! Please!
I put my hand to his heart, there was a faint beat. I felt my body fill with hope.
A: Al? Al, can you hear me? Please wake up!
I put my hand to his heart, no beat.
A: No! No! No! No! No! Oh god! Please! Please no! Alistair please stay with me! *crying* Please!
I was crying my eyes out over his lifeless body. I heard a twig snap and I turned quickly. I clenched onto my knife, knowing other careers were probably around. A girl career from district 1 popped out. She shot an arrow at me, which I dodged, but it still scratched my arm very badly. I yelled in pain. My arm was bleeding. She smiled, knowing she weakened me. I grabbed a knife with my good arm and threw it. It scratched her ankle and she fell to the ground, screaming in pain. I was so sad, I didn't feel like fighting. I wanted to die, so I could be with Alistair, but I turned my sadness into anger and now this bitch was about to die. I got up and grabbed another knife. She tried to get up and run, but I tackled her. She was facedown on the ground now. She was pleading for me to make a deal. I ignored her attempts to persuade me and I stabbed her hand. She screamed in pain again and started to cry.
A: How does that feel huh? It hurts teen times more seeing your friend die! You killed him! And now, I'm going to kill you!
1: Please! I can tell you where the others are!
A: Why would I want to know that? SoI can kill them and then you can kill me and go home, hell no! You don't deserve to go home!
1: Neither do you! You killed people too!
A: I had to do it to survive! You killed for fun!
1: Fuck you!
And with that, she had basically just planned her own funeral. I grabbed my knife and stabbed her head. A canon went off and I ran over to Alistair. He was as lifeless as before. I held his face in my hands and kissed his forehead.
A: I'm so sorry Al. *cries* I should have protected you. I'm so sorry.
Alistair's eyes weren't closed when he died, so I closed them. I cried on his chest for a little while longer. Then I realized that two careers were still out there. I had to kill them and get home, but how? Alistair was to only one who knew how to make traps. Well he can't help me now. Alistair is dead and it's all my fault.
