Love By The Tide

Chapter 28: the nightmare

Annie pov

I get into the shower and when I come out I grab a pair of shorts and one of Finnicks shirts and puts them on. I get into bed and go under the blanket. I stay awake for what feels like an eternity, but it must really be an hour our two. When I fall asleep I am ay the district four semitary.

"What am I doing here?" I see everyone from the district is here and crying. I look over to see a casket. My heart stopps from seeing that, hoping its not Finnick. I look inside and I see Finnick, in a suit. Its dark blue and all I can think is

No, not Finnick. No! This can't be happening. At this point I'm in tears. This is horrible.

Next thing I feel is a hand on my shoulder. I turn around in disbelief to see Finnick. How is this possible? He's dead. I am going to live alone for the rest of my life. No one can replace Finnick no matter what happens. I can never love anyone the same way. I don't know what to do. He hugs me, but its cold. Soon after he pulls away and walks through me and looks down at him. He hands me berries, but these are different. I've seen them from last years games. Nightlock. Why would he be handing this to me? He knows this is very deadly. He puts them into my hand and says

"Eat them, now." He demands saying it in such a cold and harsh way. He has never said that to me. Then it comes to me. He's trying to kill me. Now he grabs them out of my hand and trying to force them down my throat. I scream, but no one hears me. I kick and scream but he doesn't budge.

Before I need to swallow I wake up. Drenshed in my sweat again. I hate the games, I hate the capitol, and I hate Snow and all he stands for. I keep switching back and forth from sleep and awake. While its sleep I have the same nightmare every time.
