Locked In This (Finnick Odair)

The day

Finnick woke up really early. He got dressed in the clothes which were laying on the ground of his room. He didn't want to put on the sandals so he decided to go bare feet.

He walked out of the house and went to the biggest village of district 4. There were a lot of people standing in two lines. He walked towards the line with a lot of boys in it.

He saw two girls standing next to each other. They both had long, wavy hair and it was brown but almost ginger colour. One of them looked like she was 18 but the other one was like 13. There were a lot of young girls standing in line. He couldn't not think about who will be chosen for this years Hunger Games.

Finnick stood in his line and waited for his turn to register and give blood. It was scary. Not as scary as the first time but still scary. He saw a lot of twelve-year-olds crying in the line and trying to run away.

The lines were getting smaller with every minute and Finnick was standing already next to the stage with two glass balls filled with small pieces of paper. They were all names. On every peace of paper a name of a small kid standing and waiting for the decision to be told.

Two people walked on the stage. One young lady who stood next to the microphone and an old looking woman. She was the only victor of district 4. Mags. She won 11th Hunger Games. Finnick wasn't born yet then but he had seen the reply at school. She stood on the corner of the big stage.
- Okay let us begin.- The lady said and walked over to the side where all girls were standing in a big crowd. -Girls first as always.-
It was a moment of silence. No one was breathing. The lady reached her hand in to the glass bowl and took out a peace of paper. She folded it open and read it loud.

- Kendall Cresta- She said in to the microphone.
Finnick saw that older girl he was looking at before start walking over the stage. Her small sister started crying and Finnick stared on to the stage. Kendall walked up and the lady asked her a few questions.
He knew it was time for the boys. He might not get picked or someone would volunteer if he got raped in to them.
-Now lets see who out of all these nice boys will participate in the 65th Hunger Games. - the lady talked really slow. Maybe to make it longer and harder for everyone listening.

-It will end soon. It will end soon.- Finnick talked to himself. The lady went to the other side of the stage. She took the name right from the top of the boul. She slowly unfolded it and read it out.

-Finnick Odair-
His heart stoped for a second. He came back to reality when people started calling his name.
