Return of the Mocking Jay

Chapter 6

Epilogue

Seven months later, Aries & Mesa had a set of fraternal twins. A boy & a girl. They named their son Cato Mason after his brother he lost in the 74th Hunger Games & the male form of her name. They named their daughter Katniss Diane for the friend they lost & the huntress she was.

Katniss's assassin was never found well alive anyways.
Then a confession that shocked the nation answered all:
It was almost fifteen years later when just after, Doctor Hadley died were his records unsealed & there was a big shocker for Aries. In there was his confession to his son. How he went to the meadow to see Katniss that day while she was hunting when the shots rang out. When he got there she was already dead. How he saw & followed the shooter out of the woods. Before the assassin got away, Doctor Hadley got to him. In the fight the assassin's gun went off & killing the shooter. He gave the location of the cave where the car & body could be found. When they found the assassin they were able to trace the killer to a family located in District One who lost a son in the 74th games & to the Capitalists from twelve who hired him for the job.

The only two things Katniss asked the doctor to do when she had died was to make sure he had found a cure for the Black Thorn poisoning & to make sure she was a least 20 minutes late to her funeral.

Before Katniss's funeral, Haymitch Aberthany packed up his stuff & left district twelve for good. Many others who were originally from Twelve before the rebellion relocated to other districts too. They were disgusted with the Capitalists who lived there & how they were a party of Katniss's murder. Haymitch never fully recovered from Katniss's murder nor fully forgave those who shunned her. Shortly after Katniss's funeral Haymitch became Paylor's Vice President & took permanent residence at the Everdeen Lodge where it later became the home of future Vice Presidents. Upon his death, Haymitch Abernathy the Victor of the 50th Hunger Games was laid to rest in the forest clearing near the two girls that had his heart. For at the bottom of his headstone it read;

"I'm with the Mocking Jay."

Yet Haymitch got his wish for Snow & Coin. For what they did to Katniss & all the Tributes in the games. Cornelius Snow & Alma Coin would never rest in peace. The rider on his pale horse made sure of that. They were never allowed to rest in peace has they were made to walk the earth to beg for mercy from their victims & their families.

President Paylor upon finding out everything that they did to insure the death of Katniss Everdeen was vivid. She waned her friend who gave so much to live a long & happy life. Paylor wanted to show those Capitalist who was boss & she laid down the law upon them for what they did. She didn't remove marshal law for the district for the next five years. Trade was restricted & until the out break they had no representative for the government at the capitol. Paylor made sure they paid dearly for what they did to the Mocking Jay. She refused to let those who were party to Katniss's shunning & assassination move from the district ever. Only when the Black Thorn out break killed most of the conspirators did she let up. Seven years after the Mocking Jay was murdered, District Twelve was finally granted representation in the capitol. Has more Capitalists integrated into society the more Paylor would give back to the district who took the Mocking Jay away.

In years to come all schools in Panem made reading the lives of both of the Everdeen sisters mandatory. How they over came great odds to help free a nation. In future history books it will show Dr. Hadley who was given credit for finding the cure to the Black Thorn poison after an out break was killing off the Capitalists born who lived in District Twelve, he gave the credit to Katniss. When asked why the good doctor replied:
"Because without her hair which marked the timeline of when the poison went active we could not even begin to find the cure. Nor get the compound of the cure's right base due to the individual's DNA. With that time line we were able to save so many who were in the early stages of it."

Six months after Katniss's funeral the headstones were added to their grave. With the last line leaving no doubt who purchased them for their headstones read:
Primrose Everdeen (Little Duck)
Born: 07-04-11, District 12

In centuries to come the people of Panem would call the site the 'sister graves' But that is another story.
