Nightlock (A Hunger Games Fanfic)

Epilogue

Epilogue.

I stare down at Peeta. He's crying furiously over my body, blaming himself, saying he wasn't there for me.

But can't he see? I'm happy now. I'm finally at peace with everything around me, all my surroundings.

Yes, I'm going to miss him, but we will see each other again. In the end.

"Katniss?" says a small voice from behind me, "You ready?"

I turn to see three familiar faces.

The little girl, blonde pig-tails and a duck tail sticking out at the back of her, standing in the middle of the other two- my darling Primrose.

"PRIM!" I cry, running up to her and letting her jump into my arms. "YOU'RE HERE! You're really here..." I sob.

"I am, Katniss." she weeps back.

I look over her shoulder to see the people whom I've befriended along the way- Cinna and Finnick, also crying. Behind them stand the others from our army who had fallen in war, all now beautiful, whole angels.

"We were waiting for you, Girl on Fire." smirks Finnick. "We can't go anywhere without you."

"After all," says Cinna as he takes my right hand and Finnick takes Cinna's, my left arm already occupied with me carrying Prim.

"You are our Mocking Jay."

All of us, all the thousands of people who gave their life to rebel against Snow followed me into the light, softly singing along with the angels.

I was home.

The end.
