Life of the Mockingjays (Sequel to Panem High)

Victory

Katniss P.O.V

"PEETA NO!" I scream and go hurdling towards him. I grab his hand to pull him away from the shadow with the knife when something strange happens. When my fingers interlace with his, it's like a spark. No , not the kind that I normally feel. This spark is one that cannot be contained , this is the kind of spark that leads to a fire, the spark that could destroy anything in its presence. This spark is ....... Magical. Me and Peeta look at each other confused and slightly scared. I look at our hands and see a blinding light surrounding them. I grab peetas other hand. There it is again , that powerful spark. I look around me and gasp. Everything around us has fell to the ground, when the light that has come from our hands reaches the beginning of the force field it travels upwards and soon there is a loud bang and flash before everyone behind it comes hurdling towards us. Me and Peeta let go of each other before we are tackled in a hug. There are cheers and screams and everyone is hugging us and each other. "What happened?" I ask confused. "We don't know , when your hands touched a great force blew everyone out, destroying all of those creatures." Effie explains and I nod. Suddenly , a loud sob from the back. Suppressed by the voices of others around it is heard. We rush towards it and see Alex in tears next to ashton who lays limply on the ground , eyes half open and a wound in his stomach.

Alex P.O.V

He cant die, I won't let him. "σας την αληθινή αγάπη μου" I say , which means "your my true love" in greek. I learned greek because I had greek relatives so i had to know how to speak it. My mom and dad used to say this to each other all the time and it would calm them down so I thought I would try and comfort Ashton. Even if he doesn't know the language. But after saying this , it seems like I have given him a different kind of comfort because his eyes open wider, his bleeding comes to a stop and he slowly sits up. Everybody looks at me curiously. "Ξέρετε ελληνικά;" Effie says which means "you know greek?" And I nod. I look back to Ashton to see him smiling up at me. I grin and pull him into a hug. "That's how you heal me" he says and I look at him. "That's how your healing powers work" he says and I smile as I kiss him slightly. Everyone around us cheers again and I help Ashton to his feet. "What about our dead fighters?" Someone asks and Katniss flies up in front of everyone and begins to talk. "Thank you everyone for coming. You were brave, humble, strong fighters and you helped us win this war. I know we have lost a few people and a few families have lost their children, sisters or brothers but they died fighting. They died for a good cause. I'm sorry to the ones we lost. I couldn't save them and I'm sorry but not everything in this life is survivable and I'm sure all of those who died would want us to remember how ruthless and courageous they were. I don't know how many we lost" she says and is cut off by someone shouting. "2!" Up at her. She sheds a tear and nods. "We'll to the two we lost-" she begins but is cut off again. "They aren't dead. If a mermaid is returned to the sea after the fourth hour of death , their life will be restored" the same voice shouts. Katniss nods. "Someone take them back!" She says frantically. A few mermaids branch out and carry the bodies towards the sea in district 4.

"There was 5 deaths" someone else shouts. Katniss widens her eyes before flying down to Harry who shared the news. "Who!" She says. "One vampire , two werewolves" he says and she looks around before spotting a vampires head detached from the body and the body lying on the ground too. I swallow the lump in my throat and Katniss walks towards the head and turns it over. "Does anyone know who this is?" She asks the crowd. "She was an orphan who always wanted to die fighting" a voice says. "Her name is Rose Adams" the same voice says. Katniss lets out a shaky breath as a few tears fall. This is horrible

Katniss P.O.V

I turn the head back over and let a few tears fall. I can't believe we lost people. I will never forgive myself for getting them into this. I walk over to the two other bodies and turn them over. I gasp at the state of the bodies. They have large and deep cuts through their necks. I cringe and look away for a second. "Who is this?" I ask and two people step forward. It's Harry and Casper. "Liam Jackson and Amanda Jackson" Harry says. " brother and sister" he says and I kneel down by the bodies. I start to quietly cry and sniff slightly. "These are the bravest of us all. They sacrificed themselves. They fought their hardest and died together. And they will be together in their next life. They deserve to be remembered" I say and everyone murmurs in agreement. "Thanks everyone for coming. For fighting because you have fought well and have helped us save the world. It's a debt we'll never be able to repay" I say. I kiss the tip of three fingers while I connect the tip of my thumb and pinky. I put my arm in the air and everyone copies my action. It's an old thing in district 12. It means thanks , it means admiration. It means goodbye to someone you love. I wipe the tears and muster a smile. "Heaven has gained angels" I say and as if on cue the three bodies , just like the shadows are taken away in the wind. Everyone holds on to each other.

After a while we all just say down against the trees. Talking and taking turns at singing old songs. "Katniss it's your turn" clove says and I nod. I clear my throat. "I learned this from my dad" I say and everyone smiles slightly at me. Everyone is with their girlfriends or boyfriends or family. Leaning against one another. The vampires and the werewolves mix. I start to sing.

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Ooooohhh
ooooh

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Oooooooooohhhh
oooooh

Are you, are you
coming the tree
wear a necklace of rope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree"

I finish and wipe a few stray tears that fell. Everyone is smiling slightly. "That's beautiful" Alex says and everyone mumbles in agreement. I smile. "So has anyone else got any?" I ask and a vampire who's name is Stephanie. She starts to sing a beautiful song and I lay my head back on Peetas chest and close my eyes. I was wrong. When I said my family is the group. This is my family. All the mermaids and vampires and werewolves are part of my family. We all live in a world naked to the human eye and we all need each other. We wouldn't have survived the war without any of them. And for that, I am eternally grateful. It's a debt that I can never repay. We are all different but yet we are all the same. This was the victory which was hard fought. This is victory that will never be forgotten.
