Chapter 21: Epilogue

5 years later

"Emilio, chill out!" 20 year old Veriska leaned against the counter, her eyes narrowed on her 5 year old nephew, the child of Annie and Finnick. Emilio came to a complete stop and turned around giving her a look that left her floundering. It was the look Finnick would give her whenever he knew something she didn't, and she didn't appreciate it one bit.

"Can't make me!" Her eyes narrowed even more as the boy took off, and she ran right after him.

"C'mere you little brat!" He let out a shriek of laughter, and she froze in her spot. He didn't notice he wasn't being chased anymore as he ran up the steps, a loud slam echoing a few seconds later. Veriska stood there, her hands finding the counter top. She griped it tightly as a flash of memories went through her head. By the time they stopped tears were streaming down her face. She gripped the counter a bit tighter, her closed eyes flying shut as she felt chubby arms wrap around her leg. She looked down as the 3 year old looked up at her with a firm look. The little girl's blonde hair was pulled up into two pig tails, and her blue eyes blinked owlishly.

"No cry!" Veriska laughed softly, bending down and picking the toddler up. She held the girl closely, smelling flowers and anesthetic.

"No cry" She agreed quietly with the child, hearing a loud bang upstairs. "Dammit Emilio!"


Peeta was nervous. He had no clue why as he paced back and forth, looking around.

"Chill out Peeta, you'll be fine." Veriska smirked at him, her silver eyes having a trace of gold in them. He smiled at that, ruffling his little sister's hair. The grey part stood out against all the black, but no one asked what happened. They didn't need to know anyway.

"But Riskaaaa-"

"But nothing. You're going to go out there, say I do and then go fuck her senseless."

"Language!" Veriska laughed softly, hooking her arm through his. She had on a long flowing gown of gold, with a small silver clip that clipped her hair back. He was still nervous, but not as much now. He smiled brightly at his little sister as she kissed his cheek and stepped back.

"Go" She gently shooed him forward and he walked down the isle quietly. He stood at the alter, watching as the people walked down the isle. His breath hitched and Rye had to close Peeta's mouth as Katniss walked down the alter, her mother escorting her down.

"Hi." He smiled sheepishly at Katniss, reaching out and tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Hi."


Thunder echoed in the distance as the rain fell down, the dark clouds unleashing their tears. Lightning flashed and the wind whipped around, had it been 2 degrees colder it probably would have been snow that fell. Veriska sat on the dirt, not minding how she was soaked and freezing within a minute. She stared at both of the headstones, a blank look on her face.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, and all of it came spilling out. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you, I'm sorry you had to die and I'm sorry I didn't tell you just what I felt for you..." She stroked the headstone and stood up, turning on her heel. She trudged away quietly, pausing when she caught a whiff of flowers and anesthetic.


"You think she'll forgive herself?" The blonde haired girl looked over at the bronze haired male, her arms folded over her chest. She frowned slightly when the boy didn't answer, punching him lightly on the arm

"Finnick! Stop watching Annie and Rye have sex!" Finnick whimpered and glared at the girl.

"Well I'm sorry that he looks like a good fuck Prim! And she'll forgive herself eventually."

"So you approve of Rye and Annie then?" Tyree's voice echoed over to them and he leaned against the wall, watching them quietly. Finnick nodded and Tyree nodded as well.

"When they get here I'm taking my brother back, deal?" Finnick shook his hand and they laughed softly.

"Idiots." Prim muttered as slim arms wrapped themselves around her waist.

"Prim Veriska is being an idiot again" Prim sighed slapping her forehead

"Thanks Rue."
