They aren't sure how many months they were in the woods for but when they mistakenly end up at the border of District nine, they see the aftermath of war. They head into the District to get some food, the district is already in the process of being rebuilt, several people turn and stare at them. They know they look dirty and skinny so aren't surprised by the looks they are getting as well as that fact that three of them are victors, a small crowd appears near them. 

"It's Viktor Nikiforov" 

"And his boyfriend Yuuri Katsuki" 

"Is that Christophe Giacometti?" 

Chris is resting against Viktor and Yuuri, having broken his ankle a few days prior while running from a particularly hungry bear that Viktor and Yuuri fought off with spears they had made. 

"Stand aside" 

The last gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee walks through the crowd towards the five tired people. 

"So some more victors are alive? Well if you don't mind, I'd like you three to accompany me to the Capital. We can treat the others and the lovely puppy here in District nine" 

"Chris needs medical attention now" Viktor says puffing under the weight of him.

"We are close to the Capital, he will be looked after on the hovercraft and then in the Capital hospital" 

"I-Is Andre Jenson still alive? He's a victor, District two" Chris asks desperately and winces. 

"I'm sorry, the only surviving victor from District two is Enobaria" 

Chris sobs deeply in Viktor's arms. 

Mari speaks up "Who is the president?" 

"Commander Paylor District eight" 

"So we won?" Yuuri gasps excitedly. 

"Yes" 

"No more hunger games?" 

"No, now we must go. President Paylor will need to speak with you" he ushers the three victors to a waiting hovercraft as they quickly wave to Yuuri's family. 

They start to feel uneasy as the hovercraft takes to the sky, they feel a little like criminals. Viktor never let's go of Yuuri's hand not even for a second, the hovercraft is full to the brim with food and building materials that are being distributed all over Panem. 

When they reach the Capital, Chris is taken to the hospital while Viktor and Yuuri are taken to the senate where President Paylor is waiting for them. 

"Come in boys" 

They walk in to see a young calm but stern looking woman. 

"So, I hear you were hiding in the woods? Did you participate in the rebellion for either side at any time?" 

"No" the men answer together. 

"Why?" 

The two men are stunned into silence. 

"Uh.... Well" Yuuri tries to speak, Viktor slides his arm around Yuuri's waist possessively. 

"I wasn't going to risk Yuuri's life again, once was more than enough for my heart. I had a feeling that the victors would be targeted first so straight after the power went out, we escaped out of the Capital by sneaking out on a train. We fled to District one to pick up Yuuri's family and my dog before we ran to the woods, from what we have been told, we did the right thing. I assume we are the only District one victors left?"
