Return to the Sea (Gale Hawthorne x OC)

Chapter 4

*Filler chapter*

Ceto POV

I woke up to the sound of Creme's voice.

"Get up darling! You've got training!" He says in a chipper voice.

I groan and roll over face first in my pillow. I hear the door open and peek a look to see who it is.

"Come on darling, up, up, up. Don't wanna slack now." Finnick says in a high squeaky voice.

I throw a pillow at him to which he dodges by closing the door. When the pillow falls he opens up the door and says, "You missed me."

After he sees the glare I give him he leaves the room. I get up and go to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and put my hair into a simple pony tail. When I walked out, I see my training outfit laid out on my bed. I take it and put it on, leaving my room and going to where breakfast is being held.

When I get there, all I see is Finnick, with his smirk.

"What?" I take a seat across from him.

"Nothing, just that everyone is done with breakfast. Because you took forever."

I give him a fake smile. "And yet you waited for me. What a gentleman."

He rolls his eyes and takes a sip from his juice. I take my plate and begin to plop some eggs, bacon, sausage, and some of District 4's bread.

As I begin to eat, I feel a pair of eyes on me. I look up to be met with warm sea green eyes.

"Why?" He asks.

"Why what?" I say, my mouth full of bread.

"Why did you volunteer?"

Oh, I didn't expect that. "Well, Annie didn't deserve to go into the games again. That's why."

"But," Finnick leans in closer. "Mags still could've volunteered and you stopped her."

I scoff. "Do you really want Mags to come out here? To risk her life? This is a win or die game we're playing, Finnick. I'm not letting Mags, the only motherly figure I've had, go out into the games and die." By now I'm standing, shaking with anger.

Finnick just stays quite and looks down at his empty plate. I roll my eyes and head towards the elevator.

"I'm going to the training center." I holler to him, not caring if he heard or not.
