Hi guys, this is my first Hunger Games fic! I wrote this AU- ending for Prim cause I thought her death in Mockingjay was very fast and brief. Btw, I doing short ficlets of your favourite characters who died in the Hunger Games and you thought deserves a better ending. PM or comment below their name and a song that fits them if you want me to write about them! This is really short but hope you like it.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone has passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window
Darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone
Taylor Swift- Safe and Sound
I was scared. My yellow checked skirt blew wildly in the air. The guns and the fire were closing in around me and the air was ablaze with red. I held back my tears as I herded two Capitol children away from the splayed body of a dead soldier, his bright blue uniform printed with the Capitol insignia on his breast now pierced with a gaping hole in his heart. They screamed and pulled me tighter. The back of my shirt came untucked.
Then the bombs came, they lit up the sky like the fireworks I used to watch on our back porch with Katniss on New Year's Eve. I told her I always wanted to see them. A shower of bricks rained down on us. Suddenly, I felt the firm barrel of a gun digging into my back, my duck tail. I didn't dare to turn around, my eyes became slick with dust, sweat and tears. Katniss where are you, my Mockingjay, your light is hidden among the flames of destruction but your voice shall forever stay deep within in my heart.
We approached the top of a burning sea of rubble, out of the corner of my eye I saw him. President Snow. His face contorted with a hideous anger… I fell back to earth, like a duckling learning to fly for the first time, and then a bullet tore through my chest. My wings beat once then fell silent.
'Katniss,' I whispered as the wind grasped away my words and tugged them from my mouth. My Mockingjay.
I landed dead in her arms. Katniss held me close, her tears ruffling my feathers and smoothing out my pale brow. The Mockingjay emblem glinted a coldly in the light of the bombs. I couldn't hear her now. I have always loved birds, now this one lay limp and cold, the crimson shade creeping through the lifeless form of the hunted bird. She tucked my tail back in.
I wait for you below 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 be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
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 be,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
