Forever And Always | Finnick And Annie Love Story

The plan

Finally the force field came down. I ran as fast as I could to Finnick and Peeta ran to Katniss.
A: Finnick! Finnick! *grabs Finnick* Look at me!
Finnick was on the ground, rocking back and forth, holding his ears. I shook him to try and get him out of his shock. He looked up at me and seemed to be emotionless. I knew why, he was feeling too much, so he tried to forget. It was Mags, he had no idea if she was safe and it worried him a lot. I worried me too. I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around my waist and slightly sobbed into my chest. I rocked him back and forth, trying to calm him. I ran my fingers through his soft hair. Katniss seemed to be freaking out about Prim, thinking the Capitol was hurting her or something. Then Johanna started her rage rant.
J: Everyone loves your sister. If the Capitol touched Prim, forget the districts, there would be riots in the damn Capitol. *smirks and shouts* Hey how does that sound Snow? What if we set your backyard on fire? You know you can't put everybody in here!
We all looked at her shocked. I didn't and neither did Finnick, we knew her, she was fed up with Snow's shit and frankly I was too. I wanted to start shouting with her, but I had to be there for Finnick. He was still clenching onto me, but his head was pointed out, looking at Johanna. He seemed to be in some sort of trance. He looked so miserable, it made me want to cry. I think all of us were scared of what Johanna just did. How would Snow react? What would he do to her?
J: What? He can't hurt me. There's no one left that I love. *to Katniss* I'll get you some water. *walks away*
We all went to the beach and sat down. Finnick went to the shore and I followed him. He just sat there, looking at the water. I put my hand in his shoulder.
A: They won't hurt her. They have no reason to.
F: Do they even need a reason? Maybe they just want to torture us.
A: She's strong Finnick and with us by her side, they wouldn't dare touch a hair on her head.
F: *tears up* I love her too much. The Capitol knows that, they'll torture us by hurting the ones we love.
A: Hey. Look at me. *lifts his chin up* I'm here. I'm not leaving you. Forever and always remember?
F: *cries and hugs Annie*
We sat there on the beach. Holding each other. He just sobbed in my chest and kept repeating I love you. I kept repeating it as well. I started to cry as well. This could never work, not with this government. We needed to end this tyranny. We needed to end Snow.

Katniss' POV
I sat there on the beach looking at Finnick and Annie. Mags must be important to them, whoever she was. Johanna crept up on me and handed me a coconut with water in it. She sat next to me and dug her axe into the sand. Johanna knew Finnick and Annie well right? I decided to ask her about Mags.
K: Who's Mags?
J: Mags Fernley, the woman Annie volunteered for. She won the 10-11th games. She was their mentor. They're all really close.
K: Oh.
B: I have a plan.
Johanna went to get Finnick and Annie. Beetee explained the plan to us.
B: Where are the careers?
J: The jungle's a nightmare, so I'd assume the beach.
B: Then why aren't they here?
P: Because we are. We claimed it.
B: And if we left?
F: They'd come back here.
B: In about 4 hours they'll be soaked from the 10 o clock wave. Then what happens at midnight?
K: Lightning strikes that tree.
B: Here's what I propose, we leave the beach at dusk, we head to the lightning tree, that should draw them back to the beach. Then at midnight, we run this wire from the tree to the water. Anyone in the water or on the damp sand will be electrocuted.
A: How do we know the water's not gonna burn up?
B: Because I invented it. I assure you it won't burn up.
Me and Finnick shared a thoughtful look. I shrugged my shoulders and he nodded his head.
J: Well it's better then hunting them down.
K: Ya why not? If it doesn't work, no harm done anyway right?
We all agreed on the plan. We asked if there was anything we could do to help Beetee and he said to keep him alive for the next 6 hours.
Annie's POV
We all stayed and relaxed on the beach for the next 4 hours. Me and Finnick practiced our trident and knife skills. I would throw my knives at little bugs in the sand and Finnick spun his trident over his head as we both looked out at the water.
A: It's beautiful.
F: What's beautiful, you?
A: Wow. *laughs*
F: *laughs* I've missed that.
A: What?
F: You're smile.
A: I've missed yours too. It kills me every time I see you without it. Like in the forest when the fog came at us or with the jabber jays.
F: Stop. I don't want to think about that. I just want to enjoy this moment with you.
He lifted his trident horizontally over me and placed it at my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we leaned in. We kissed for a few seconds and after we parted we just stared into each other's eyes and pressed our foreheads together, cherishing every moment we had left.
