Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games

The 74th Hunger Games are over, and Katniss Everdeen has been declared the winner. But as she made her way from District to District for the Victor's Tour, she talked to each of the Victors, all of them telling her terrible truth of being a Victor. The horrors they've faced for surviving the nightmare. She felt absolutely lifeless, as if someone had ripped the joy out of her. But the circumstances of her victory didn't help.

Her and Peeta had survived to the very end, it was just them and the male from District Three, Thresh. The three had steered clear from each other the entire night, hoping to avoid a skirmish. That all changed when howls pierced the silence of the night. Katniss and Peeta found themselves on the run from mutts that had dead-set eyes on devouring their prey. They heard a cannon soon after, sounding the death of Thresh. The, "Star-Crossed Lovers", found themselves desperately climbing the Cornucopia. The two of them stood on the metallic structure, looking around as all the mutts tried time after time to climb the flawless metal. Peeta looked over at Katniss with tears in his eyes, "You have to live, Katniss." He said, Katniss shaking her head frantically, as her hands clanged to his shirt. Trying to hold him there as she pleaded for him to reconsider. Her mind thought of the nightlock that had killed the tribute known as Foxface. But Katniss had left them there in hopes that Thresh would come across them in starvation.

Peeta took her hands in his and tore them from his shirt, "Think of Prim." He whispered, his calm ocean blue eyes staring her in her stormy-gray pair. Even when they were on the brink of the death, his eyes still calmed her. She watched helplessly as he fell into the pit of mutts, Katniss looking away as he was torn apart by the gnawing teeth of the vicious animals. And before she knew it, she was the Victor of the 74th Hunger Games. She could still hear his screams whenever she closed her eyes, the last sight of his blue eyes before he threw himself to save her. It's in these moments that she feels the most pain, the most guilt.
