AN: So this is another chapter This is my most reviewed story so thank you guys so much!

I was so shocked at the sight of the girl that I didn't notice the man behind her, until a "hello" left his slimy lips. Katniss and I jerked our heads up and found Snow, directly behind Annie with a gun at her head. I didn't no what to do, my only thought was that I couldn't let her die. I immediately stepped forward when a strong hand held me back. I looked at Katniss, surprised that she was the rational one in this situation, but remained still.

Snow smiled, his face stretching like rubber, and said "smart girl, well smarter than I believed." I felt all of the anger that has been burning a hole in my chest bubble to the surface. He is the reason all of these kids have died, he is the reason so many Districts are now in ruins, he is the reason Haymitch is perpetually drunk, he is the freaking reason I don't have nay decent clothes to wear! Apparently my face showed my anger, because Snow chuckled.

"Now Effie, you were always one of my favorite employees," he said in a voice that sent shivers down my spine, and definitely not sexy shivers. "You always did your work efficiently, you always were on time for everything, and you such a great business women. Please, come back with us, you won't have to live in the dirty underground district, you will have all of the luxuries a girl like you deserves. I can even get you promoted to the second in command, my vice president, since our current one is…easily taken care of."

I was almost tempted to join, the thought of the comforts I haven't experienced in so long, the ability to live without the fear of being killed. I could get everything I ever wanted, a place in the government. But when he mentioned the current vice president, I snapped out of my daydream. He was willing to kill anybody, destroy anything to get what he wants. I don't think I realized how truly important it was to get rid of him until that moment, and I realized I couldn't let anything get in the way of that.

"So simply kill the stupid little girl next to you, and we can take Panem under our control once again," he continued. I didn't turn my gun, instead holding it straight at the President's head. "Untie her and I won't shoot you," I said, with my perfect Effie Trinket voice, complete with a dazzling smile. His expression didn't change, but his eyes turned to steel. Annie was struggling even more against her binds, and I couldn't handle it any longer. Before I could tackle Snow like I was in a catfight, I heard a gun release a bullet. I turned frantically, trying to find who fell. I was beginning to think that the shot missed when noticed that President Snow was out of sight. I turned and saw Katniss, with her gun pointing ahead of her and her face set in anger. I walked around the back to see Snow on the ground with a hole in his head. I didn't bother to check if he was dead, because I knew that if he wasn't he would be quickly.

I looked at Katniss and smiled, seeing the same one on her face. We both ignored the fact that we dislike each other as a general rule, and embraced. We heard footsteps behind us and held out our weapons, prepared for the worst. Rather than the worst, we saw the rest of our team. I was mostly in shock from the experience, being there just enough to hug everyone in joy. Finnick came over to me and grabbed me in a bear hug. I hugged my friend and whispered, turn around. He did and saw Annie. Going faster than I had ever seen him, he rushed over to the girl. He untied her and glued their lips together. I grinned, glad to see my friend happy for the first time in a very long time.

We were all talking excitedly, about how great it was and what we were going to do next, when I realized that one person was standing in the background. I made my way over to Haymitch and said, "can't even stay sober right now can you?" He laughed and put the flask he was drinking from away "No, no I can't" "What are you going to do now?" I asked him. Haymitch shrugged and said, "I don't really know. Haven't done anything aside from help with the rebellion since I was 17" I looked at him and said "Well, Snow is dead, so let's not worry about that now" He nodded. For a few moments we just stood there, staring at each other. I couldn't take the silence any longer, so I took a deep breath and wrapped my arms around his torso. He stiffened but I kept him in the hug until his arms wrapped around me. He was very warm, and it was the first time I noticed his scent. It was an odd mix of sweat and vodka, that shouldn't have smelled good but it was surprisingly sexy. We parted, just enough to see each other. I looked at his eyes, a beautiful dark blue, and stepped a bit closer to him. I pulled the collar of his shirt down so his face was at my level, and pressed my lips to his.

I have kissed quite a few people, and many of them were very good at the act. However, I never felt that breathless spark that people talk about, the one that allegedly turns them into goo. I wouldn't say that I was goo, but something erupted in my chest when we kissed. Our lips moved against one another's, each movement igniting another mini explosive inside of me, and not the deadly explosive. I can guess that he was enjoying it as much as I was from the way his hands were groping at my body. If I were in my right mind, I would tell him to save it for the bedroom, but my brain was currently incapacitated.

"Hot damn!" I heard and broke away from Haymitch. I turned to see Finnick with the biggest grin on his face, trying not to laugh. Everybody else seemed to be more shocked at the outburst than our actual make out session, though. I straightened out my clothes, which were nearly backwards, and ignored Haymitch's smirk. Johanna was the first one to speak up, "So, we clearly won, so what do we do now?" "It's obvious, we need to get on the television and tell the rest of Panem and the Capitol what happened." We all tuned to Katniss, expecting her to be the one to speak about the defeat today. She backed up, putting her hands in front of her body, and said "No no no, I may have killed him but we all know that I can't talk, we need somebody that can actually lead to tell everybody" Finnick walked over to me and said "Effie, you are the only person here who can talk to the public without sounding like an idiot, so go out there and do your Effie Trinket thing!" I sighed and felt a hand slap my butt. I turned to glare at Haymitch and he just shrugged. I shook my head and began to walk out to the public.

"So, you may be shocked at what has happened here today, but I am here to say that there is nothing for you to fear." I started, smiling at the people. "President Snow is dead, Katniss Everdeen, the mockingjay, has gotten rid of her once and for all!" at this the crowd cheered. "So, now we must rebuild Panem, but we can't afford to make the same mistakes as we did this time. This time, we must create a place where everybody can feel safe, where our children don't need to fear the reaping, where honest workers don't die of starvation, where those in power don't have all of the power. We need to create a world for us, for all of us, not just for those in the Capitol. So, let's get to it because I think this is going to be a big big day!"

AN: So how's that as a finale? Was it okay or is there anything I could have improved? I'm thinking about making an epilogue, like a few year in the future and showing how everything is going. Oh and this is not only my most reviewed story (love you guys) but my story with the most words so ya!

Love you!
