Venom- Finnick Odair

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Lyanna(27)

Haymitch woke me up the next day, telling me I needed in a room. I haven't talked to anyone as soon as I was brought into the same place where Snow stayed. The same floors that he walked, the same rooms he drank and relaxed in. It made me sick.

  I walked in a room and noticed many other people in the room. I nodded towards Beetee as he gave a sad look. I sat down on the chair around the round table and waited for Katniss.

"What's this?" Katniss asked.

"The remaining victors." Coin said.

"Won't you join us." All the victors were in the room other than Annie. Apparently Annie has left district 13 while we were gone to live in isolation and honestly it didn't sound like the worse idea.

I sat next in between Peeta and Johanna while Katniss went over to sit next to Peeta.

"I have invited you all here for several reasons." Coin spoke up.

"But first, I have an announcement. I have taken the burden and the honour of declaring myself interim president of panem." I tried to hold in a bitter laugh at her words. This is what she wanted the whole time.

I heard Haymitch scoff causing everyone to look at him.

"Interim? Exactly how long is that interim?" Haymitch asked.

"We have no way of knowing for certain. But it's clear that people are for too emotion right now to make rational decisions. We'll plan an election when the time is right. But I have called you here for a far more important vote. A symbolic vote. This afternoon l, we will execute snow." Her words made me smile smugly, happy to know Snow is going to get what he deserves in the end.

"Hundreds if his accomplices also await their deaths, capital officials, peacekeepers, torturers, Gamemakers. But the danger is, once we begin, the rebels will not stop calling for retribution." I noticed Johanna smiling brightly at Coins words.

"Thirst for blood is a difficult urge to satisfy. So I offer an alternative plan. Majority of four may approve it no one may abstain." Coin said and I knew I was not going to like this plan.

"The proposal is this. In lieu of these barbaric executions, we hold a symbolic hunger games." I covered my mouth in shock as Johanna laughed loudly. We were all shocked.

"You wanna have another hunger games with the Capitals children?" Johanna asked.

"You're joking?" Peeta clearly didn't like the idea.

"Not in the slightest."

"Is this Plutarch idea?" Haymitch asked.

"It was mine." She admitted which made me scoff. She was a girl version of snow.

"It balances the need for revenge. With the least lost of human life. You may cats your votes." Coin said.

"No." Peeta said instantly.

"No, obviously not. This is crazy." Peeta said shaking his head.

"I think it's more than fair. Snows got a granddaughter. I say yes." Johanna say.

"So do I. Let them have a taste of it." Another victor said across the table.

"You guys, this way of thinking is what started these uprisings. " Peeta said.

"I vote no. I don't won't to bring my baby up in a world where I lived in. I don't care if it's a life like a Capital or district life. The games bring nothing but terror and pain on everyone. I will not turn into one of this sick people who enjoy the games. And I know Finnick wouldn't want that either." I said folding my arms across my chest.

"Well he's not here because snow killed him."Johanna snapped as if she was trying to convince me to say yes.

"No." Beetee said.

"We need to stop viewing each other as enemies."

"It's down to Katniss and Haymitch." Coin said looking at the two. I send pleading eyes to them hoping they say no. No one should go through the trauma us victors did. It's not fair for anyone other than Snow maybe.

"I get to kill snow." Katniss said suddenly.

"I expected no less of you." Coin said in response.

"Then I vote 'yes.'" She said. I couldn't help but to gasp in shock. I thought out of everyone Katniss would be a strong no.

"For Prim." She said a single tear falling down her cheek.

"Haymitch?"Him and Katniss exchange a glance before he made his answer.

"I'm with the mockingjay."

"That carries the vote. Excellent. We'll announce the games tonight after the execution." I shook my head at her words.

"I can't believe this happening." I whispered.

" What is wrong with you guys!" I nearly cried as I pushed myself away from the table and stormed out of the room.

  I heard Peeta knock on my door.

"Lyanna?" I heard him call out.

I opened the door for him, letting him in.

"This is wrong." I cried as I packed my bag.

"I know." He said softly.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"After Snow is executed I'm leaving. I can't have my child living in this type of world." I said wiping away my tears. Peeta smiled sadly as he helped me pack. He knew that he couldn't talk me out of it.

I stood before Snow, with all the victors as the drummers played. Snow didn't look scared as his eyes skimmed the audience.

  I turned around and watched Katniss was up the pathway that the tributes once would ride up before the games.

"Welcome to the new Panem. Today, on the avenue of the tributes, all of Panem, A free Panem, will watch more than a mere spectacle. We are gathered to witness an historic moment of justice. Today, the greatest friend of revolution will fire the shots to end all wars. May her arrow signify the end of tyranny and the beginning of a new era. Mockingjay, May your aim be as true as your best is pure." Coin said finishing her speech.

  I watched as Katniss readied her aim and nothing but the whistling wind could be heard. Last second Katniss aimed at Coin. I gasped as I watched Coin fall from the pedestal and onto the ground.

  The people behind Katniss started to scream as they ran to tear Snow apart. I felt someone grab my arm and pull me away from the crowed that can possibly trample me. I was guided into the house where everyone gathered.

I looked around and the chaos as everyone tried to figure out what just happened. I couldn't help but to laugh.

I threw my bag around my arm and started to head for the door.

"Where are you going?" I turned around to see Gale and Peeta. I smiled sadly at him as I looked back at the door.

"Somewhere near the beach. Me and Finnick was going to build a house there." I said sadly.

"I'll be near district four. Don't be a stranger." I said before walking out of the room and away from the Capital.
