Chapter 1.
"Is it Over.."
Annies Pov.
A bunch of flashing lights came from every angle. Whats going on? A girl with almost terrifying makeup and huge pink hair stared at me from the side with a wide smile, it was like a million different variants of her in the crowd but with different colors that made me want to throw up. They all had the same terrifying smile and it wasn't helping my case. I didn't know what was going on, the only thing that was going through my head was him. My best friend beheaded right in front of me..no..that had to be some type of terrifying dream. Only thing i could remember before that was running alongside him and a few people from Districts 1 and 2. I stood there blankly not paying attention to any of the people screaming my name..were they mad at me..? Wasn't i just in some water a while ago.? I continued to try and remember what was going on, until i heard it.
"Annie Cresta The Victor of the 70th Hunger Games!" A man with darkish blue hair named Cesar Flickerman yelled out loud which caused the crowd to erupt. They weren't yelling at me..They were cheering! Mindless capitol people cheering about the fact i won those games instead of crying for the lives of the children that died in that arena. I'm not too sure what happened after but i do remember screaming but not for my victory, in fear. I backed up from the crowd and Cesar before dropping to my knees covering my ears. The crowd started to cool down a second confused, I couldn't hear their voices but it seemed like they were whispering among each other. Flashes of my deceased friend covered my view. Each light that shined on my face was a new angle of his head.
I cried begging for the people to stop taking pictures but they continued desperately wanting to get everything on camera. I felt hands pull my arms and tried to kick the people off but soon i started to feel..dizzy. I stood up wanting to run away from everyone but my eyes couldn't stay open any longer. I fell. Before i blacked out i felt familiar hands catch my waist..I couldn't remember who though..
7:35am Tuesday July 16th.
I woke up with a severe headache. Looking around my room i soon realized how familiar it was. I was on the train. The same train that took me to the capitol in the first place. I stood up pushing the white covers off of my body and panicked. I wasn't trying to but i ended up knocking into a bunch of stuff which made a loud crashing noise, it nobody knew i was awake they surely knew now. All i know is i needed to get out of here..and fast. The door opened as i walked closer to it which scared me a little bit but at least it meant the door wasn't locked. I ran through the hallway hoping to find some window to break or maybe the train exit and somehow get it unlocked. While running i heard a voice call out. Unfortunately for me my brain couldn't understand who was calling out for me so i immediately thought it was just some capitol person again.
Fear contained my body and i started to run once again. I ran towards one of the train windows and lifted up a chair throwing it, but the glass didn't break. Not even a small shatter. How is that possible? Is this some bulletproof glass? or maybe i'm not throwing it hard enough. Whoever was behind me was approaching quickly so i gave up on breaking the glass and crawled under the table. Last time i sat at this table was for breakfast before we were taken to the hotels. At least the food was good.
I sat there shaking for a bit trying to think of who could possibly be after me right now. Maybe i'm overreacting and it was a family member, but there was no possible way they could be here. Nobody else came to my mind. Soon these black shoes stood at my only opening, i wanted to cry until i finally recognized the shoes. I remember a man wearing them when i first woke up on the train. Just to make sure; i leaned closer to the opening of the table to get a glimpse of whoever was there.
"Come on out Cresta. I won't hurt you."
His voice echoed through my head. He backed up as i crawled out from under the table looking up to meet eyes with him. Finnick Odair. Before he could pull out his dumb smirk i instantly stood up hugging the guy. Even though i've only really known him for at least a week, i still hugged him as if he's the person i trusted the most. And he was in this situation.
Finnick and I only met during the games because he was my mentor along with this elderly woman named Mags. Although we've never talked, I've known them both since they lived in by District and both won their games. Finnick held me close, he smelt almost like roses which was painfully sickening to me but he only smelt like that at the moment because we've both been in the capitol for a while.
He whispered sweet words into my ear which made my body calm down a bit but i couldn't understand what he was saying. I didn't even realize the tears that were pouring down my cheek, i really won the games. I really lost the guy who probably would've became my best friend. We held each other for a while in a very comforting way, soon Mags came out with a worried expression. I pulled away examining both of their faces before speaking my words.
