I don't own any of the characters; Suzanne Collins did and I love her for that!
I've never seen anyone so excited in their entire life. I've never seen Annie Cresta smile, let alone be as giddy as a school girl. Of course she has a reason; she will finally be reunited with the one person that keeps her sane, Finnick. I should be that happy too but I can't get over the fact that Aaron won't be there. At least I will finally get to see Prim and my mother's smiling faces. And Gale! I will get to see Gale! With Aaron gone, we will probably fall in love and raise a family out in the woods like he proposed so long ago. I'm glad I didn't go then. Prim would have gotten reaped, they would have gone looking for use, found us, and we would've been killed or turned into an Avox.
The plane lands in what they tell me is District 13. It turns out Bonnie and Twill were right. I wonder if they made it. I am taken straight to a hospital room where doctors are seeing if there is anything wrong with me. I am about 20lbs lighter and very malnourished but other than that, I seem fine. The Capitol tried to make me believe that everyone I loved hated me but I fought against their poison.
The doctors move on to other patients in need and allow people to visit me. First is Prim. "Katniss!" she yells with excitement. She looks older. She's taller and a lot healthier than I've ever seen her. We hug for seems like hours until I hear my mother's voice. As much as I have tried to shut her out of my life, I decide to trust her. Being away for so long, and having so many near-death experiences, you learn to forget about that kind of stuff and be thankful that someone still loves you. With Aaron being dead, I can count on one how many people love me unconditionally.
"Where's Gale?" I ask my mother and Prim.
"In a meeting with Beetee and Plutarch" answers Prim.
The next voice I hear is unexpected. "Katniss? Is it really you?" I turn around to see who is speaking. It's Peeta Mellark, the baker's son running up to me with a very excited Haymitch. Peeta Mellark? Why would he come to see me? I've never spoken a word to him, let alone give him a reason to come visit me in the hospital. And why is he with Haymitch? I don't think they know each other.
He runs up and hugs me and I'm too confused to respond. He pulls away.
"What's wrong with you" asks Peeta.
"Why are you excited to see me? We've never even talked. How do you know Haymitch?"
"What? Katniss, it's me, Peeta. We won the 74th Hunger Games together."
"No, I won the 74th Hunger Games with Aaron Wilson but he died in the Quarter Quell."
"What? I'm getting the doctors."
