Nightlock Berries

Katniss took the berries out of the pouch she was keeping them in. If it was up to Katniss Everdeen, the 74th Annual Hunger Games would have no survivors, no survivors and this would caused so much trouble within the Capitol. This was going to start a rebellion like none that had ever been seen before. She looked Peeta in the eyes as she handed him the berries that were going to kill them. The duo had without saying a word agreed to the fact that if there couldn't be two survivors at the end of this game, then there would be none. Katniss couldn't help but remember her father's words about the berries. Not these, Katniss. Never these. They're nightlock. You'll be dead before they reach your stomach. For all of the survivors, Katniss and Peeta were going against the code. It was their act of rebellion and it was going to be perfect.

Katniss watched as she and Peeta placed the berries on their tongues and looked at the cameras. She expected the Capital to stop them, but no one else bothered to change their rulings. After a good five seconds, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark swallowed their Nightlock berries. In her last moments, Katniss realized that she had made a choice to leave behind Primrose, her mother, Gale and even the cat she hated. It was something that she regretted, but she knew that they were going to be fine, all of them were survivors and would forgive her. She would be joining her father soon and it made her kind of happy and she knew that she would see them again, as she knew that like her, they would eventually die. A small part of Katniss knew that this was wrong, but she ignored it and looked up at the sky to hear the fireworks, as she saw her and Peeta's name lit up in the sky, another victim of the games. They were dead before it even touched their stomachs.

Survival. It was what made these two survivors and matyrs to all who followed them, as they had forever changed the world. Many years later, their story is still told. It has become part of the legend of the boy and girl who did everything to save their world. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark had become legends as the world's greatest as they survived on through it all.
