Whispers.

All that I can hear.

Like wind, carrying on the breezes, almost so soft I can't hear them.

Almost.

Katniss….Katniss….I'm waiting.

I know. I've tried, but the monsters, the visions they hold me back. I really want to. But I can't.

All because I'm the mockingjay.

And Coin wanted me dead before, so why doesn't she kill me now that I want it too?

Because she's dead. You killed her.

Because, in a way, I would almost prefer Snow to Coin. At least Snow tells you when he is going to kill you and your family.

All of that work, Katniss. Don't you want it to be over? It can be.

She killed Prim. Prim. When can I see her again?

Just forget. Soon you'll see her. She's with me. She misses you. Cries for you. How could you be so cruel as to not join her?

Every time I try to reunite, someone stops me. They are the ones without a heart. They are the ones stopping me from happiness…

What about everyone else? They are here too…Rue, Darius, Cinna, Madge, Mags, Seeder, Boggs, Finnick. Your father. He's been waiting a long time for you.

I know. I miss him too. His voice….Sometimes I can almost hear it.

Because, he's visiting you. You can visit if you leave. But there is no one else to visit. Everyone is here.

What about my mother?

Face it, she never loved you. You were a mistake. She only had a place in her heart for Prim. And she hasn't talked to you since 13, and that was months ago. She didn't even think about you when she moved to 4. All she wanted to do was get away from you.

What about Peeta? And Gale? They are still here. They haven't joined you yet.

But that is where you are wrong. Peeta has lied to you this whole time- he does not love you. The venom just took away his ability to lie about that. And Gale doesn't need you. He's kissing people at a bar right now. He doesn't even have a single thought for you at the back of his mind. Has he even talked to you either? Face it, nobody wants you around. You're a burden, and everyone that used to hold you to life is gone. You have failed them all. And now it is time you join them.

I can't. They have me stuck here. They keep giving me life when I want death and death when I want life. What is wrong with these people? I've given up almost everything for Prim, and now there is only one thing left to give-

My life.

Are you, are you, coming to the tree

Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.

First I lost my Dad. I was 11. There wasn't even anything left to bury.

Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be,

If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Then little Rue. Killed by a heartless Career. Killed for some creep's entertainment.

Are you, are you, coming to the tree,

Where the dead man called out for his love to flee,

Then Cinna. Just for a stupid dress.

Strange things did happen here no stranger would it seem,

If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Then Mags. In the arena, by some poisonous fog, just so Peeta could live.

Are you, are you, coming to the tree,

Where I told you to run so we'd both be free,

Madge. She died in the bombings, maybe so fast she didn't know her life was being stolen.

Strange things did happen here no stranger would it seem,

If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Boggs. He believed I could do it. Save Panem. But now that I did, who will save me?

Are you, are you, coming to the tree,

Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me,

Then Finnick. He was married. A baby on the way.

Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be,

If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Prim. I'm coming.


So, in case you didn't guess, italic is death itself, whispering in her ear, trying to get her to kill herself. Regular is Katniss, responding to Death.
