I sit at the back of the train, wearing a pair of jeans with a blue t-shirt and black leather jacket, along with a pair of black ankle-boots, black fingerless gloves, and of coarse, my District Two necklace, staring out at the world around me as we start our way home.

I wonder what my new home at Victor's Village will look like? I wonder how my family will feel about my actions during the games?

When I step off the train at District Four, the entire district is there to welcome their new victor, but I ignore them and take in a deep breath of fresh air which smells like the sea. Then I walk off the platform and greet my family. I hug my parents first, then I turn to my twin and hug her like I've never hugged before. We've been apart for so long that being with her again made me feel whole, it made me feel safe.

"Are you really here? Am I dreaming?" She asks, tears of joy streaming down her face.

"Yes, Lisa. I'm here. I'm home," I say as tears also begin to stream down my face.

I'm not sure what my future holds. Whether it'll be full of joy or sadness, but at least I have this moment. This perfect moment, that no one can ever take away from me.
