“ Female’s first” said the short stout man that was standing on the stage, he was about 5 feet tall if he was lucky, his stomach round with all the capitol food that he had eaten in the past, she waddled his way over to the big glass bowl that was sitting on a wooden podium, Annie watched as the man placed his stubby hand in the bowl as she took a breath in slowly as her sea green eyes watched him waddle back to the microphone that was centered in the middle of the stage. Annie hopped to herself that it was not going to be her, she knew that the odds were in her favor for she was just the daughter of a fishing net maker, so she did not have to take out tessera for her family, so she knew her name was only in there five times, looking back up at the man that was the escort for District four she watched as he smoothed out the piece of paper and looked at it for a moment, his voice rang out clear and deep as he spoke “Annie Cresta” he said deeply. her eyes went wide as she looked around for a moment before she straightened out her back quickly and stood up straight walking out of the crowd of other woman that she was standing with and over to the peace keepers that were standing there, she made her way up onto the stage with the Escort and smiled slightly, as she heard the man speak again “ aright time for the men” he bellowed out as he made his way over to the other glass bowl that was sitting right across from were she was, he took a paper from it and went back to the center of the stage as he called out the next name in a clear deep voice “ Cater Fillon” was the name of her District partner, she looked over at him for a moment just to shake his hand as the escort had told them to, she noticed his ice blue eyes that were covered slightly by his unkempt midnight black hair.
next thing that she knew was that she was getting ushered into the justice building with Cater and then into another small room, she took a breath in slowly as she sat in a chair that was there, she knew what was going to happen next, her family an friend were going to come say there goodbye’s to her, she turned her head for a moment as she heard a voice fighting threw the peacekeepers, it was Finnick, her Finnick, he had come to say goodbye to her, she watched him walk in and hug her quickly, she looked at him for a moment and smiled slightly “ i guess the odds were just not in my favor” she said softly as she looked at him “ this has nothing to do with the odds Annie, this is all my fault ” he said quickly, she could hear the sadness in his voice “ but you did not take my name out of the bowl, its the capitol’s fault” she said trying to make him feel better, he looked up at her “ it might have well been me Annie” he said as he dropped to his knees, she looked down at him as he spoke again “ i told them no” he said softly “ i told the capitol that i would not go the last time that they called me” she took a breath in slowly as she looked at him “ what did they say” she asked quickly “ they said that it was fine that they could not force me to do anything that i did not want to” she shook her head and looked at him as she took his hands in hers “ i will do what ever it takes to bring you home again to me Annie” he said softly as she looked at him “ you must have cared allot about me Finn” she turned away for a moment “ you know i do Annie, how can you say i dont” “ if you did not Finn, they would have left me alone” she muttered softly as she felt him take her face in his hands as she looked at him, her eyes keeping his gaze for a moment “ I love you Annie Cresta” she heard him say softly “ I love you too Finnick Odair” she whispered back softly “ i will make sure that i come home to you”….
