Katniss pov
I have to find her. I search through hundreds of people, dodging everything I can. Until finally I see it.
Her blonde braid behind her. She turns and makes eye contact, I see my name leave her lips right as a parachute goes off, not 10 feet away.
I scream for her, running through the flames to get to her. I can feel the flames licking at my skin but it's nothing I haven't already felt. I find her laying on the ground, her skin is burnt badly. I hold her to me, my tears falling on her face.
My sister is dead.
Everything I worked to hard to save is dead.
"Katniss..."It's barely audible.
"Prim?"I say astonished.
"I love you,"she barely gets out.
"I love you too. I'm gonna get you out of here!"
"Katniss!"I hear Peeta yell behind me.
"Over here! Hurry I found Prim!"I yell.
Soon he appears and as soon as he sees Prim he has tears in his eyes. He scoops her into his arms and says,"let's get her to the hovercraft!"
We run back where there is an angry Coin.
"Someone help! Get her to 13!"I yell as soon as we are on.
Several people take her from Peeta's arms and take her to an area they won't let me go. I try to get past them but I can't. Peeta takes my arms and says,"Katniss, look at you! You're burnt. Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"
"We're fine, I'm just worried about Prim."
I feel her kicking me so I feel a little better about her. Peeta wraps his arms around me and holds me to him. I cry into his chest as he holds me. Breathing in his scent calms me. Cinnamon and dill.
"I want to stay here with her."
"You can't. You promised to go and end this. You're the mockingjay." Coin says.
"But my sister could possibly die today!"I yell.
"Your duty as the mockingjay is to kill Snow. You will do so."
"Just let me stay here until the time comes."
"Fine. But you better succeed."
"I will,"I say,"but let me see Prim."
"Fine."
Peeta and I walk to the back and are led to where she lays. They have her body wrapped up and are giving her fluids and medicine. I take her hand in mine and kiss the back of it. Tears stream down my face.
Peeta holds my other hand as I sit by her. He gives me so much strength just being here with me. I would be a bigger mess if he wasn't here to comfort me. And I know he loves Prim like his sister.
I kiss her hand again, which is the only thing not wrapped up. Soon someone comes in saying,"time to go, soldiers."
"I love you Prim,"I say.
Peeta takes her hand and kisses it before we leave.
We are taken into the mansion. Snow is in sight. Coin is too. She telling me it's time to shoot him. I aim my arrow at his head. He's finally getting what he deserves. Panem is getting a new world.
When I look at Snow, I see hatred and disgust, and also, I see Coin.
She's just like him.
And in that moment, my mind is changed and I quickly position my arrow at her and let it fly.
I don't even realize what's happening until I see our troops storm Snow as I'm being dragged away. I try to fight it, but I realize I can't. They're too strong, and they have Peeta too. We are taken back to 13.
I'm not really paying attention, I'm more aware of the pain in my back, but soon Peeta is thrown in a room along with Haymitch. I run to Peeta and hug him as soon as he is in. Haymitch takes a seat at the table and clears his throat.
"We have a lot to talk about."
"Haymitch,"I start but he cuts me off.
"They're not very happy with you. You killed the wrong president, sweetheart. You're lucky lover boy hear saved your ass by saying shit about your hormones and stuff. They were able to write it off as a crazy hormonal victor. But you will be faced with the changes of assassinating the president. Paylor, the new president, will be speaking with you too to tell you your charges. On other news, they captured Snow. He's locked up here. His execution is later tonight. I just thought you should know that."
Haymitch stands to leave. However, he freezes when he hears the scream that escapes my mouth as pain shoots through me. I feel a gush between my legs as my water breaks and I hear Haymitch say,"God damnnit!"
"Holy shit!"Peeta yells as he sees what happened. He swoops me up and runs me out of the room to the hospital. When they have me all situated, my mom comes in.
"Mom, how's Prim?"I ask in a pained voice.
"It's bad. Her whole left side is burnt badly. They think she'll live though, but she definitely won't be able to walk for a while, or really use that side. Eventually her skin will grow back, but it will be scared badly. They believe her hair will grow back too. But she's going to live, and that's all that matters."
Haymitch stands in front of the bed and paces back and forth. Peeta stands by my side and holds my hand. And my mom sits in a chair on the other side of me. Soon Paylor comes in.
"Hello, Mrs. Mellark. We were supposed to meat in the holding room, but I see other things got in the way. I came to talk to you about your punishment. The people in command and I have talked it through and we decided that we won't execute you. You've done a lot as mockingjay and as a symbol. However this act of defiance will not go untouched. We decided that you'll be banished to 12. And you will partake in sessions with Dr. Aurelius via phone."
"Okay. I just have one request."
"What?"
"I want to see Snow before his execution."
"Understandable."
"But Katniss?" Peeta says,"it's tonight and you're in labor!"
"I don't care. I want to see his suffering snake eyes as I laugh in his face before he dies."
"Okay then," Paylor says,"his execution is in an hour."
"Then take me there now."
