(Finnick doesn't love Annie here, he only sees her as a friend... and he is 20 and Aliara is 16 - nearly 17)
I waited in the Hoverplane, I was in the back alone waiting for the clear to get out and see district 4. I'm so excited although I do have the chance of going into the hunger games, like... Peeta, I've been watching the games live throughout this, He's partnered up with his skilled district partner, there are about 5 of them left, I'm proud and worried. If he dies I'm quitting the rebel side, they promised that Haymitch is trying to make sure he wins as I'm the only tribute they have so far, they got lucky with me...
"Let her out." I hear Plutarch's voice through the headsets behind the wall I'm leaning against. My leg has been replaced with a realistic silicone version that works like a normal leg, it had to be made waterproof even! I'm just a guinea pig fo it so if it stops working I'll be screwed.
The back door opens and I'm ushered out just before the hover plane leaves. "Finnick?" one of the guards calls after knocking on a larger house. A young man answers worried at first but he quickly puts on a smile"I thought they found out" he lightly laughed.
He pulls me in and the guards, who have now put on peacekeepers outfits leave. "So you thought that president snow had found out and targeted you... and you look extremely anxious when we knock?" I laugh grabbing an apple from the cupboard. "yeah... I guess... uh, so how are you?" "good." "you're blunt." He replies smiling causing a small laugh from me before I frown."yeah, I always have been" He says nothing and just shows me to a spare room I'll be sleeping in, before beginning to leave I grabbed his wrist and he turned to me."thanks for letting me stay here." "oh,no problem and Mags should be asleep so try to not make too much noise, she's been, my caretaker." I nodded letting go of his wrist and closing the door for him.
Finnick O'dair was on my mind the entire night until I fell asleep. An old woman entered my vision as I woke."It's time to wake up" she said softly and I nodded sitting up."thank you, Mags is it?" She nodded before leaving. I got dressed and walked out of the room towards the kitchen, Mags had laid out some buns that were tinted green with other breakfast items that I didn't bother with. "are these infused with seaweed?" I asked, quietly inspecting the green bun in my hand."yes, they are traditionally from here" Finnick answered behind me.
"interesting, in 12 ours resemble fat ugly biscuits. not much to show off." I laugh taking a bite from the salty bun. "you aren't in need of working in the ocean as I haven't dealt with something as common as money in years." I nodded scowling at the comment. We were always struggling for money in 12, not many people had the money to buy or delicacies so we would end up with stale bread for food or Katniss Everdeen's squirrels when mother was out."mother." I whispered quietly."what was that?" Finnick heard me."I was just remembering my mother and father... and brothers, mother was a horrid woman who always hit us and didn't even care when I lost my leg, My father though was the nicest man you could meet despite his intimidating appearance"
Peeta... "Finnick!" I almost yelled, making him jump."Yes?" "where is your television set?" He pointed at a large screen in the next room over. I almost ran to it and turned on one of the only channels, the one that broadcasts the hunger games. Peeta came up onto the screen and I gasped at the sight of him. he had blood poisoning and it could have been for a while as I've been neglecting the games. He was disgusting to look at. sick, injured, and Katniss was outside of the rock cave making a soup when she got a gift... sleep syrup. she finds some berries and mixes the two into a paste and after feeding the soup to Peeta she feeds him the paste telling him they are some sweet berries she found outside... Peeta sees through it and tries to spit it out but she doesn't let him... tricking him into a deep sleep.
My big brother, so defenceless and alone. I feel hatred towards Katniss before I learn that she had to do it to get him medicine, Finnick puts his hand on my shoulder."it's dinner time, you should take a break, I didn't call you for lunch earlier as you were so engrossed by it, even if the times they had to show the other players you were upset" he laughed, turning off the television.
Fish was what Mags had cooked before leaving with a small plate of her own food. I ate the food making small talk with Finnick such as "What is your favourite colour?" and so on. "So what's with you and Peeta?" He asks and I nearly slap him for being so stupid." Are you an idiot? *sigh* do you even know my real full name... or bother with the games three years ago?" I scowled and he just looked at me, eating."My real name is Aliara Dian Mellark. Make the connection" I stood up, bowed slightly before rushing to my room. He is stupid. Why would I watch a boy for a whole day!? I punched a hole in the wall before sitting down on my bed.
*Knock Knock* "come in" I said finally calm. Finnick walked in and looked at the hole in the wall raising his eyebrow. "oh, yeah I punched a hole in the wall." He laughed."It's okay, you make up for it with being cute." Cute.... who calls a tribute and rebel cute? "Cute? *laugh* I'm anything but that."
