Last chapter! :( And it turned out great! PLEASE read the extra long (sorry) author's note down at the bottom! :)

Enjoy and this chapter will make u happy! lol

Dahlia's POV:

"Coltin," I say under my breath in pure shock. How can this be? Is my mind playing tricks on me?

"Dahlia," he confirms and I know it's him. I fall into his arms and cry. I am so confused on how this is possible but at the moment, I don't care. Coltin's alive. He rubs my back and tries to calm me down but I have been through way too much these past weeks that there is no way could calm down.

"Col-tin!" I exclaims through my tears.

"Shhh, Dahlia I'm right here. I'm not leaving," he says and I do, eventually calm down. I look up and he gives me a kiss on my forehead. "I promised I would come back for you," he says and then brings me for one, long, passionate kiss. The kiss I've missed so much and the one thing I need.

"But how?" I ask when we break apart. He smiles and gives out a small laugh.

"Long story," He starts. "Well Neco did cut me pretty badly," he says, showing me his scar where Neco cut him. "I knew I was going to die but then I heard my cannon. But I wasn't dead. I acted like I was and then the hoover craft came and took me. I was then put in a box to be shipped back to district 12. I knew I wouldn't make it with this cut but then your parents opened the box. They knew I wasn't dead. They hacked the system and sounded the cannon. The brought you're Grandma, Katniss's mother in and she fixed me up. After that, my prep team and Cinna disguised me and I came home on the same train as you did." He finally finishes. Wow, So I have my parents to thank. They saved Coltin Shelby.

"I'm just so glad you're here," I say as I wrap my arms around him. People may think that I'm too young to be in love but I am.

"Come on, let's go eat dinner. I'm starving," Coltin says with a smile. I nod my head and smile back. He holds out his hand and I take it. I'm never letting go. When we get downstairs, my parents are in the kitchen. They turn around and see me and Coltin together.

"Well Dahlia! I guess Coltin told you about everything!" My mom's says and I nod with a smile, trying to find the right words to tell them more than thanks and I love you.

"You've two have been through so much at that young age. We tried to get Camellia and Sanden out too but they died too quickly. Coltin's a true hero," My dad say. I wish Camellia and Sanden could be here right now. I feel so bad for Finnick, Annie, and Johanna.

I give Coltin a kiss on the cheek and we all sit down at the dinner table. The Capitol has cameras and eyes everywhere over Panem and if they found out if he was alive, things could get a lot worse. His family knows he's alive since my parents contacted them. They will come over tonight to see Coltin. And we will come up with a solution then. Everything will be fine and maybe I can forget the Hunger Games.

I proved that we, Mellarks, have beaten Gale Hawthorne.

My name is Dahlia Mellark. My parents survived two Hunger Games, a rebellion, and my mother was the Mockingjay. I have survived the 76th Hunger Games and I am in love with Coltin Shelby and he loves me.

A/N: Aww! What a great ending to the story! I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting! I felt so bad to tease you like that! So most people guessed it was Coltin, some guessed Gale, and a few guessed Aria. Thanks for playing the guessing game! lol

SO I was writting this chapter and I finished it and it said that I had 599 words. I was like really? So I went back up and then added one mre word! lol

If you have any ideas for my next story PLEASE tell me because I''m drawing a blank! lol I want to write about Peeta and Katniss. Kind of like life after the war and Hunger Games. Nothing to do with Dahlia and they have no kids or anything. I'm just not sure what to do but I beleive with the help of you guys, I'll figure it out!

OMG GUYS 360 REVEIWS! I AM DOING A MAJOY HAPPY DANCE RIGHT NOW! hahaha lets see if we can get higher then Another Mellark (377) if we can get 378 or higher, I will be forever greatful!
