Finding Finnick

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

I wake up with Finnick carrying me.

Running.

I hear screams behind me and see Sakhaia shooting arrows. Thank god she's alive.

But Stanley.

No.

He didn't.

"Stanley...where is he?!" I ask.

"We have to go, Lily!" Is all Finnick says.

"No!" I refuse and get out of his arms and fall to the ground. Actually, since it was a hill, we rolled down the hill, even Sakhaia.

Finnick is the first to stand up afterwards, but finds out they're gone. "Finnick....please. Where is Stanley?" I ask more calm again.

"To get the medicine, he got killed holding off Cato, and some other tributes. Lillian, I..." Before he can move on, I almost punch him, but Sakhaia holds me back.

"No! You didn't stop him! He lied! You lied! You're liers!! All of you.!" I scream. "Lillian, please..we tried. I tried. It was time for him to go...." Sakhaia said

"What do you mean, 'it was time for him to go' ?!" I ask.

"I mean... He was suffering from a minor concussion from the last time he was almost killed by Finnick. He told me, but didn't tell anyone else. He was going crazy, he wanted to die. And the last thing he could do, was save you." She explains.

I fall to the ground and cry. I can't belive he did that for me. I miss him already, he was like a brother to me...

"He....sigh....I'm sorry...let's just..." I stand up and face wherever the bloody cameras are. And say "Stanley, district 6. He will never be forgotten. Ever... Thank you for Stanley, District 6. He will always be in our hearts. He was like a brother to me. He saved me... And with that, I thank you." I say and show the rebellion sign, Sakhaia and Finnick following. After, I walk off. "Lillian... I am sorry..." Finnick says. "It's fine... It's not you're fault...sorry."

"Don't be sorry, it's ok." Finnick pulls me into a hug and kisses me. Quickly though, for we don't have much time.

"Sakhaia! Stop! Don't!!!!!" Finnick topples onto her before she can eat these blu-ish black-ish berries.

No.

Nightlock.

"Sakhaia! No!" I shout.

"Lily......." Finnick looks at me with sadness. "No....I ...Sakhaia!" I run over towards her and see if she's still alive. "I'm sorry, Sakhaia......" I whisper. The last words she says are "You can win....I love you, Lillian, you're like my older sister....goodbye..." She says.

Sakhaia knows she ate night lock after she ate it already... "Sakhaia...." I say. A free streaming down my face, for now I have lost a sister and a brother. I go over to Finnick and cry in his arms. "It's ok... It's ok....." He comforts me. He's so good at that. "We should go...they are coming for us..." He says. I pick up her bow and arrow and backpack with some food and walk away. "Goodbye, sister..." I whisper. The canon goes off, two times. Who else died...

Two people's names go in the sky and I see one of them is alliances with Cato but I don't look to see Sakhaia's. "Let's go..." I say.

"Hey what time is it.. It shouldn't be getting this dark so early" Finnick asks

"It's the finale...." I say.

That's when we hear a noise of something like an animal. And a human scream. "Mutations..." Finnick whispers.
