I hear a scream coming from the trees. This isn't any scream, it is the scream of my dead sister. I run to her, thinking I might be able to explain everything to her. Then, I hear footsteps behind me, but don't even bother to turn around to see who is trying to stop me. NOTHING will stop me from trying to see Her. The only time I stop to listen is when I hear Her scream flying above me, which comes from a jabberjay. I pin point the jay and sink an arrow right through it's heart. The faint footsteps reach me, and as I turn around to see who was behind me, I see the lost figure and hear the quiet voice of the dead Finnick Odair. He chases the scream of Annie, just as he did in the Quarter Quell. I shot that jay down for Finnick and I hear another scream and only I know that scream, Finnick should, but he doesn't. The scream is coming from his son, Flynn, whom he never met.
I know this is only a nightmare, but I can't help and feel guilty for their deaths. Finnick died because he was trying to hold the Capitol mutts off of me, and I wasn't there to save Her when the parachute bombs were dropped. Even though it has been almost three years since those events, I still can't seem to be able to say Her name without breaking down.
I suddenly feel safe when Peeta's arms make their way around my waist. He strokes my face and whispers soothing words in my ear. When just tears are filling my eyes, he asks if I want to talk to him about my nightmare. I seldom ever told him about them, but as the months went by I felt guilty about that, too. I told him every detail about it, attempting to hold back my cascade tears.
After I am done "reliving" my nightmare, Peeta whispers in my ear, "You are and always will be safe here with me. Now try and go to sleep." I close my eyes hoping to fall asleep, but all I can think about is that day in the Quell.
I remember everything that happened that day. We were on the beach listening to Beetee's plan. As we all agreed to keep Beetee alive for at leats six hours, that is when I heard Her scream. I knew Finnick was trying to stop me, but I didn't care. As I reached the scream I sunk my arrow right though the jabberjays heart. Finnick then heard the sound of a young girl, whose name I didn't know at the time, but I am well acquainted with her now. As I try to stop Finnick, just as he did for me, he told me ten words that I will never forget. They stuck to my mind like glue, "How do you think they got those sounds? Jabberjays copy."
I grasp the image of Finnick in that moment. The brave, seductive darling of the Capitol... was hurting. I remember his blonde curly hair and his mysterious eyes. I remember how he brought Peeta back to me. I remember how he cared for Mags during the Quell, before she walked voluntarily into the fog to save Peeta. I even remember those four scratches just below his sideburns from his fingers digging into his skin trying to block out the screaming of the jabberjays. He was one of the few people who I actually cared about, but he was one of the many people who died because of me. Because I was the Mockingjay.
