The wound in my stomach's untreatable. Neither of us say it because it's obvious that I'll bleed to death.

Katniss holds my hand and I'm already crying. I ask if she's succeeded and she says, "Yes."

I say that she must win… for all of us. She agrees.

And then I tell her to sing.

She's shocked but sings anyways. It's unfamiliar but I can tell it's a reassuring lullaby. I close my eyes, beginning to slip away before the song's finished.

My last long and I don't even get to finish it, I think grimly.

And then, I'm gone.


(A/N) *Sniffle* Sad but a bit funny in the end. Isn't that a bit ironic? Oh well. If you haven't guessed it's told from Rue's POV. A prompt from my sister. Last song because they watched The Last Song. The one with Gale! Or Liam Hemsworth in real life. xP Feel free to review!

Warmest Regards,

Nell
