Forever And Always | Finnick And Annie Love Story

Reaping pt 2

Today was the reaping. I got dressed(picture on right above) and so did Finnick(picture on left above). The peacekeepers came shortly after. We were on the stage now. I was on the stage with Mags(picture on the middle above) since we were the only female tributes alive. Finnick was on the other side of the stage alone since he was the only male tribute alive. Diamond came out in her Capitol clothing and a huge smile. She gave a little speech and then came to our side.
D: As usual, ladies first.
I held my breath hoping it was me so I would go instead of Mags.
D: The female tribute from district 4 is............Mags Fernley.
My heart stopped. Mags was chosen, I knew what I had to do.
A: I volunteer as tribute.
I saw Finnick look down and tear up. I wanted to cry myself, but I had to stay strong. Mags grabbed my shoulder and shook her head. I just looked at her and smiled. I walked to the middle of the stage where Diamond was. She continued and went to the boys side.
D: The male tribute from district 4 is...........Finnick Odair.
A tear fell down my cheek as Finnick made his way to the center of the stage.
D: The district 4 tributes for the 3rd Quarter Quell. Annie Cresta and Finnick Odair.
Once she stopped talking, Finnick pulled me into a hug. I started to tear up, but I stayed as strong as I could. I would be going into the games with Finnick. A game where only one person comes out alive. I would loose Finnick or Finnick would loose me or we'd both die and be reunited in death. That's just the way it was in Panem, in the Capitol. To Snow, everything was a game. He didn't care about anyone, but himself and he found amusement in our death. He deserved nothing but hate and I hope one day that he will pay for his crimes and I want to see him suffer.
