Hey guys! Soft here :) I'd like to mention that there is a big spoiler warning on this. So, no want, no read.

Who was I?

I was Katniss Everdeen, rebel.

I was the Mockingjay, a sign of hope for the districts.

I was a two time Hunger Games victor, not many can boast that. But it's not something you want to boast. It's some thing you want to forget, the horrors of the Arena. The terrors within

I was a mother, a sister, friend, and daughter.

But Prim was gone. What would that make me then? An only child? But me and my mother rarely talked anymore. It was the occasional letter, or perhaps a phone-call. That was it.

Prim was gone.

Sobs threaten to choke me in the darkness, and as I squeeze my eyes closed tightly I feel shifting from behind me, and a warm hand grasping mine.

"Katniss, you okay?"

I nod silently as the tears spill silently over my cheeks, and as he wraps his arm around my waist, holding me close to him.

"It'll be okay." He whispers, his gentle hands running through my hair lightly.

Oh Peeta... like Haymitch said, what did I ever do to deserve you? I lean into his embrace, my hands finding his in the dark.

Maybe- no, definitely it won't go back to the way it was. But for now, right here seems pretty good.

Who am I? Katniss Everdeen, archer, hunter, wife, and mother.

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
