Finnick/Annie, dolphins

"MR. ODAIR!  MR. ODAIR!"

Finnick set the wet plate back in the sink and walked out onto his back porch as one of Jackson Hull’s girls came hurtling up the steps, screaming for him.  The fear and near panic in her voice set his heart to pounding as adrenaline shot through him.

The barefooted child could barely get the words out, her lungs worked so hard.  “Annie…!  You gotta come!”

Annie.

The girl - Mia?  Moire?  He never could tell them apart. - reached out a hand and he grabbed her up by it and set her on his bare shoulders.  She reflexively grasped at his neck with both hands, but her she was so small, no more than four or five years old, that he didn’t fear choking to death.

"Where, chica?  Point the way."  He tried to keep his own panic out of his voice as the little girl pulled her right hand from his throat and pointed toward the beach and the uninhabited end of Victors’ Island.  Annie had gone to walk along that beach while he washed the breakfast dishes.  She’d been gone almost an hour, nothing unusual, but the storm they’d had overnight had left the water much higher than normal, making both incoming and outgoing tides dangerous.  If something had happened and she’d gone into the water…

Clutching the Hull girl’s ankles, Finnick broke into a run, bare feet slipping a little in the sand.

"How much farther?" he asked.

"Almost there, Mr. Odair.  We’ve got to help her!"  The panic was gone, but the girl’s words still didn’t set him at ease.

Passing beyond where he could see the houses in the cove, if he were to turn around, Finnick looked out over the expanse of water between the island and the mainland, swept his gaze across the empty sand and beachgrass that made up the interior of the island.  There was nothing.  No movement.  No sight of Annie in her red top and white shorts.  No Annie.

His eyes stopped tracking when they reached a gray shape on the beach, maybe eight feet long, well up past the normal high-tide line, let alone the line created by the storm surge.

"Moire, where’s Annie?"

"I’m Mia," the girl responded, but Finnick barely heard her.  All he knew was the flash of red and white, the flowing brown of her hair as Annie stepped into view past the thing on the beach.  The thing that looked like…

"Is that a dolphin?"

"Mm hmm," came the humming reply in his ear.  Then, making him wince, "We gotta help her!"

"Finnick!" Annie shouted, waving for him to come quickly.  Since it was Mia on his shoulders, the girl dancing around Annie and the beached dolphin must be Moire.  When he and Mia were closer, he let the girl slide gently to the ground as Annie said, "Well done, Mia!  You did very well to find him."

Mia wouldn’t let go of his hand, pulling him along behind her as she ran toward the dolphin’s head; Finnick allowed himself to be towed.  He misstepped but caught himself when the dolphin’s tail flopped weakly - he’d thought it was dead.

"We’ve got to help her," he murmured, smiling bemusedly as the fear released its grip on him.  Annie was okay; it was the dolphin - a female - that needed help.

"I think she was stranded by the surge," Annie said beside him as he ran a light hand along the dolphin’s hide.  It felt tacky.  Not good.

"We have to get her back into the water."

"Yes."  Annie nodded.  "That’s why I sent Mia for you, but Moire and I tried while she was gone and I think this girl might be too much even with you here."  She looked worried and Finnick would do anything to take that look away.

"Odair!" a man shouted from the beach back the way they’d come.  Finnick and Annie both turned and Finnick raised a hand to shade his eyes from the sun.  "We saw you dash off," Martin Perch said as he slowed to a stop; Jack Hull ran past them and dropped to his knees in the sand in front of his daughters.

Annie’s laughter rang out and Finnick joined her when Martin jumped at the unexpected – and welcome – sound.  “I think between the four of us, we can send her back to her mate.”  She pointed out into the water where Finnick could see a dark shape swimming back and forth, back and forth.

A few minutes later, the four adults and two little girls watched as the stranded dolphin rejoined her mate.  When the others started to walk back to the village, Finnick held Annie back, pulling her into his arms.

“Stay,” he whispered into her soft hair.  “I don’t want to go home just yet.”

belovedoldhollywood's questions: 

1) Imagine you get the chance to meet your favourite OH star. What’s your first reaction?  I would immediately think: ''How on earth do I not screw this up?'' Haha. I would try my best. 2) Do you still remember the movie that made you interested in OH? Which one was it? Of course- it was 'A Streetcar Named Desire' :) 3) Your OTP from an old movie? Oh gosh... it's either Stanley and Stella from Streetcar, or Terry and Edie from 'On the Waterfront'. Both are just wonderful. 4) Favourite movie from the year 1939? Well... GWTW is so epic but I have to go with 'Dark Victory' :) 5) Do you ship yourself with an old Hollywood actors/actress? :p Yes. With James Cagney :) 6) Who is your favourite OH star who is also still alive? (I wonder if anybody will answer with Mickey Rooney xD) Lauren Bacall, though I really really really love Kirk Douglas too!! :) (Ironically they are great friends and have known each other forever, Lauren also helped him get into Hollywood.:) ) 7) Does it make you angry too when people around your age say that old movies are boring? Yes, but I think it's their loss, and what a loss indeed. 8) Do some of your grandparents have some interesting OH-stories to tell? :3 Sadly no, they were always far away from that culture, especially since here the Soviet Union didn't let any culture from the west be known. But one of my friends' grandmother somehow knew about Clark Gable and loved him! :) 9) Do you own any autograph from a classic movie actor/actress? Yes, I own an autograph of Kim Hunter, which I cherish very much. :) 10) Do my questions annoy you? xD Nope, they're very good. :)

11) Did you get anything OH-related for christmas? :) Some things are ordered and they'll hopefully arrive soon :)

My questions:  1) Most overrated actor/actress from the 50s? 2) Most tragic death of all the Old Hollywood actors/actresses? 3) What classic film could you watch a million times and it still wouldn't get old? 4) What actor/actress comes to your mind that you would call a performer rather than a real actor? 5) Favorite pre-code film? :) 6) Favorite classic film actor who was named James? :) 7) Actor/actress who deserves a good biography? 8) Favorite silent film? :) 9) Has any classic film had a really big impact on your life? If so, which one? 10) Who do you think is the best director today? 11) Which film, in your opinion, from the 20th century could never, ever be done today?
