Post-Mockingjay Katniss' POV Chapter 1


I wake up from a terrible nightmare. Peeta is there comforting me but its not helping. I need air. I need to get out of here. I stumble out of bed pull on my jacket and boots. The sun is just rising. I run from the house, Peeta is calling after me but I ignore him. He wouldn't chase after me and leave the kids alone. I run through the town square to the Seam or what's left of it. They wanted to rebuild all of the houses but I wouldn't let them rebuild my old one. The old miners put up a brick wall around it and a roof but otherwise they left it alone. I didn't want anyone to live in it. I walk in to it now and remember my nightmare. It's was the day I watched Prim go up in flames and die. Today is the day of her death 10 years ago. I kneel over on the floor and cry and cry and cry. Only one person could comfort me today but it's Prim and if she as here I wouldn't be like this. After what feels like days I finally stop crying. I must stay as strong as I possibly can for the Rye and Rue my children and Peeta. I walk past the medicine factory and see the people going to work. I walk through the Town and see the store owners opening up, and I think how can they go about their normal business like today was an ordinary day but is for them. Today only matters to people who were very close to Prim.
