"Poor Annie Cresta..."

"It's the poor mad girl from district four..."

"They say her time in the Hunger Games drove her over the edge..."

Just like anyone who's managed to make it out of the Hunger Games alive, Annie Cresta has nightmares. It's not easy to forget being tortured and starved and forced to kill other people to survive. Her time in the arena scarred her, broke her, and every day, she keeps trying to pick up the pieces. 

Only the people who have been in the arena, borne witness to the bloodshed and horror firsthand can understand what it's like; all the victors have a slightly haunted look behind their eyes that speaks of memories they'd do anything to forget. Of course, that's made impossible when your victory in those games is all that people see in you. 

Finnick O'Dair, youngest ever winner of the Hunger Games, Capitol pretty boy, and sex symbol for all of Panem has nightmares too. He has nightmares about dying in a million different ways, nightmares about never being allowed to go back home to district four, but most of all, he has nightmares about losing her. He has nightmares about losing Annie, the only woman out there that he truly loves. 

Even though the odds are against them at every turn, they're lifelines for each other; no matter the cost, Finnick would never let Annie get hurt, and Annie would do anything to stay with Finnick. The only problem is that they can't have anything more than a secret romance, or else they would lose everything, including their lives. 

All of that changes in an instant though, with a handful of poisoned berries in the 74th Hunger Games. That simple act sets in motion a series of events that cannot be stopped, and it also poses a very important question for Annie and Finnick. How far would they go to be together forever, is there any price they wouldn't pay?Public Domain

AMNESIAC || Finnick Odair by Alex_Novas

❝Who are you? Who 𝘢𝘮 I?❞ ✑✑✑✑ All tributes know when and how they get in the Arena. The Victor, however, never knows when or how they get out. Not until Claudius Templesmith announces their name and district to the entire nation. Once the tribute becomes a victor, they're taken out of the Arena. Only to eventually realise they never truly escaped. The nightmares, the cameras, the deals, nothing ever lets them forget. Their entire lives, they're reminded of what they did. The mask of luxury that covers their sleepless nights and destructive thoughts, is kept in place by the finest glue known to President Snow; a bit of hope mixed in the bowl of darkness and fear. There's but one problem with that mask. For it to work, the victor must have two essential things; haunting vivid memories and loved ones they would trade their lives to protect. One without the other is to no use. So when Olive Navin Cresta survives the 69th Hunger Games with no recollection of her time in the Arena, the mask gets destroyed before it's even placed. Please, don't forget, the odds are never in our favour. ✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑ 𝕒𝕞𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕚𝕒𝕔 /𝕒𝕞ˈ𝕟𝕚ː𝕫ɪ𝕒𝕜/ 𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕟, '𝕒 𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝕝𝕠𝕤𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕪.' ✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑ I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES I only own my OC and part of her family.
