Finnick and Katniss- A short love story

Enemy

Enobaria and Finnick reach the lightning tree. They can't see me, sitting above them on the slope, my skin camouflaged in ointment. I home in on Finnick's neck. With any luck, when I kill him, Enobaria will duck behind the tree for cover just as the lightning bolt strikes. And it will be any second. There's only a faint insect click here and there. I can kill them now. I can kill them both.

Another cannon.

Finnick will die. I see him, standing with his perfect sea green eyes. The light in them, the focus, it will just take one arrow and then it will... it will disappear. My hand trembles. Two cannons have sounded. Brutus, Johanna, Chaff. Two of them are already dead. That will leave Peeta with only one tribute to kill. And that is the very best I can do. One enemy.

"Do it Katniss", I whisper to my self. "Can you?", the reply. This arrow will go through that neck of his, and I can already feel the blood stop in my own arteries.... "Can you?"

Enemy. Enemy. The word is tugging at a recent memory. The memory of a dark night when I was haunted by beasts and a man had come, with a little knot in his hands, and he had asked me, "Can you Katniss?" And suddenly there was a lot of light as I sat down with him, knotting ropes and tying the beasts away.

If this is my enemy..... who is the man with the face I see when I am very helpless... the distinct face between all of the glittering plastic facades? One arrow through his heart and it will all end. I hear my own voice tighten, "Finnick!"

My bow drops as the meaning of this word registers. All of Panem may be my enemy. But Finnick never can be.

I jump and knock him to the ground, his arms around me. I take my bow and just as the arrow hits the force fields, there is an explosion. I close my eyes to the bright flashing light and a burning sensation sinks deep in my skin, with the unbearably loud sound overcoming the buzzing of hover crafts.

He still holds me tight as we roll away from the tree. "Katniss", he whispers as I try to make sense of the world around me, the bright ash particles giving the illusion of thousands of stars forming and bursting. I find his hand and hold it. "Katniss its okay", he strokes my hair.

My body gives a jolt as we get lifted up into the hover craft, distant faces coming in view, and him still beside me.

"You will stay here. Forever.", I tell him.

"I will. I know you have chosen me, when you could have chosen victory, and a life of safety. Brave decision."

And in the midst of all the chaos, he smiles. He smiles at me.

"Katniss you idiot, I was never your enemy."
