I feel the heat, and I feel a tight grip on Peeta's hand my eyes are clinched tight only seeing it from the reflection off my eyelids. I slowly opened my eyelids to the hell like scenery everything below us in a fiery pit but this fire is different from the fire from the feast it's 100% real not synthetic.
It was only about five seconds ago when Cato came running out of the woods screaming being chased by the fire we all had found are way to the top of the Cornucopia, trying to keep a safe distance away from the scorching agony but we knew sooner or later one of us would have to fall and I would do anything to make sure it wasn't Peeta. I held a tight grip on the longest knife I have waiting for an attack at any moment, which is when I feel an even tighter grip around my neck and me getting pushed forward to the edge almost slipping off but I stopped myself before I could be thrown into the pit of flames that waited eagerly to scorch my flesh.
"Hey gorgeous long time no see," Cato snarls lunging his sword at me, I skate backwards I try throwing one my littler knifes at him but it misses the smoke is messing with my vision so I don't see when he tackles me to the edge, Peeta quickly grabs him and throws him off what is with this place and fire it only makes things ten times more complicated, now there is blood pouring from all of my cuts I have received I am getting dizzy but I power through it seeing Peeta struggle and get thrown to the ground. I throw another knife this time it hit Cato in the leg he loses balance and falls.
"Peeta," I yell going over to him I am so relieved when he takes my hand the smoke is getting worse.
"I'm fine," that's all he says before getting back up.
"No stay right here, please I have a plan," I whisper in his ear he looks doubtful but shakes his head.
"Cato you tried to kill me several times in this game and you have killed half the tributes do you know what they say about cheaters," I say with venom tackling him very close to the edge which wasn't safe for either of us one wrong move we could both be tumbling down I looked over to see Peeta still is in his same spot, he trusts me that's all I could ask for right now.
"No why don't you feel me in princess," he says trying to push me off but my nails are dug into his skin, he can't roll over because he would be dead too, my belt had fell of somewhere and I couldn't see to tell where it was so the fire was my best option even if it might mean I go too.
"Cheater's…" I tighten my grip a little bit "Never…" I give a devilish smirk "WIN," I roll over taking him with me I let go as soon as I start to fall and hold onto the nearest piece of Cornucopia I hear a blood shrilling scream but I ignore it searching for Peeta through the mess of gray.
"Take my hand," I take a deep breath and hang onto the metal with my one good arm giving Peeta my hurt one, I feel so relieved when he takes me in his arms I notice that below the fire had disappeared and taken Cato with it leaving a black shadow behind.
"Thanks for trusting me," I say into his shoulder the smoke still surrounds us but I am fine.
"Thanks for winning for us," he says into my hair.
We climb down from the Cornucopia hearing the music and before I could do anything Peeta kisses me this time I have trouble deciding if this kiss was fake or for celebration that we won but either way, it will make are relationship seem more real, but I notice my blood is dripping from my face and it doesn't take long for me to pass out into Peeta's arms and that is the last thing I remember before I wake up in a hospital besides the sounds of hovercrafts.
The cuts which were once on my face have disappeared and I don't feel any pain, I was now getting ready for the crowning I am placed in a beautiful plain white dress standing in front of the Capitol with Peeta beside me, there is a genuine smile on President Snow's face when he is crowning Peeta but when he is placing the crown on my head there is somewhat of a scowl but I shake it off immediately.
"So how does it feel to be the first ever victors that have come home together in District twelve?" Caesar asks flickering his eyes down to Peeta and I's intertwined hands I leaned my head back on his shoulder.
"Amazing I guess that the word to describe it I mean who would've ever thought that us out of all of the people in the games could've made it home together," I look out into the audience gripping his hand tighter as the audience awe's.
"Well you two did have quite a huge fan base in the capitol," Caesar say motioning out into the crowd me and Peeta look at each other lovingly.
"To the Capitol you my dear are referred to now as the Light of the Game and as far as the fans are concerned you two will always be the remembered as the star-crossed lovers of District 12 that melted are hearts," I wanted to laugh at this really the Light of the Game wow those dresses must have really had impact for the people to go around saying that without being afraid to get killed.
"You got to love Cinna's skill already I am referred to as three different things," I laugh at something I honestly didn't think was funny but the Capitol thought it was hilarious so I played along.
"Ah yes so Peeta how do you view this whole thing?" He turns to Peeta who had been rather quiet.
"Well in a way she was my light in the game because she went out of her way to save me, and eventually got us both home so really to me she is like a guardian angel." He gives my hand a squeeze I keep thinking about what he said a guardian angel yeah right I was far from one.
"A very, very tough guardian angel," I zone out from then on while him and Peeta chat there was something not right or funny feeling about this something I didn't feel like dealing with right now, so I scooted it to the back of my mind even on the train I was zoned out.
"Hey are you okay were home," I feel Peeta gently shake my shoulder as we step out I feel instant relief as I see my dad, Gale, Prim, Katniss and a bunch of other people flooded around the train and for the first time in what seems like forever I feel safe, calm and a bunch of other feeling I can't explain. But here I am home and that's all that matters …right?
