Author's Note: I can't believe I finished the Hunger Games fanfiction! So, I was going to end it with that last chapter, but you guys asked for one more chapter, so here it is. I'm going to make it official: this is the last chapter of the 60th Hunger Games fanfiction that I have written. Wow. Did I really just type that? I want to give a shout-out to anyone who is reading this or has been following the storyline. Also, although I'm not superstitious, I like the idea of ending this story with Chapter Thirteen. Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 13: Shipwrecked

Number Of Different POVs: 1

CLEO'S POV (DISTRICT SEVEN VICTOR)

One night, several years after victory as I lie in bed with a stranger, I see the details of the moment in which I won that were blocked even as the event happened by my own mind.

Osher looks up at me, no longer the ruthless killer from District Two; not the handsome and manipulative boy that the Capitol citizens went crazy over, but just a scared kid that wants to live and to see his family again. The blood from that final, deadly wound that put a family to mourning, a boy to death, and me to victory, came from his mouth and streamed from his neck. He gasped for air, struggling for life. I don't turn away from the convulsing boy on the platform, but I don't end his misery either like he asks me to with his last words: "Please… end it… please."

I don't end it for him. I just watch, transfixed by horror, paralyzed by fear, as he goes limp, as his eyes lose their light, and I scream for him. I scream at the sky, ask it why it has done this to us all, even though I know no sound is coming out and I am not in the arena, even though I am in a hovercraft and I am dying from several wounds that the Capitol doctors somehow fix to make me fresh and clean and fake, a fake version of myself that is happy and calm and aristocratic, a version of myself that does not exist.
