A/N- Thank you, to the 10 or so people who have actually read all my chapters so far. Though I haven't received any love on this story I suppose i'll continue to post just because I like it.

I own nothing, but my treehouse and all 7 seasons of Buffy on DVD please don't sue me!

Katniss came to, slumped over on her couch. "Nooooo" she moaned, Katniss could still feel the warmth of Buffy's hips on her fingertips. Immediately grabbing her tin, Katniss placed the other two thirds of the strip on her tongue. She felt nausea like she had never felt before. 'Oh shit, I've taken too much,' Katniss spoke to the empty house, before she slipped off the couch and cracked her head against the floor.

Katniss was running, but she didn't know where she was running to. She felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as she thrashed her head back and forth, taking in her surroundings. Then, Katniss stopped, she knew where she was.

"NO NO NO," Katniss screamed over and over again, falling to her knees, and feeling tears welling in her eyes. Katniss hung her head and closed her eyes, expecting that when she opened them again she would be back at home. But, she was wrong, horribly wrong, she was still there, on her knees, in the woods from her first hunger games.

She could see the cornucopia in the clearing just in front of her. Standing, Katniss began to slowly move towards the cornucopia. She didn't know what she was expecting, weapons, food, a way home perhaps. Instead, there was only Cato's body, her arrow still lodged in his skull. Everything in her stomach was on the ground next to him before she knew what was happening. Wiping her mouth on her sleeve, Katniss turned around and started back towards the woods.

A few minutes later, the world began to spin around her. At first, she thought it was just in her head. Then she heard a sound she thought she would never have to hear again. Prim was screaming, Katniss immediately went on guard searching the tree tops for jabber jays. Not seeing any, Katniss took off towards the direction she guess the sound was coming from. Instead of Prim, she found Rue, dead, and still ringed with flowers. However, the flowers were dead and rotting, as was Rue. Katniss turned and ran, she had to get away before she threw up again.

Running frantically through the woods, Katniss didn't even see the next body until she tripped over it. Foxface's body was nearly unrecognizable, torn apart by animals, and crawling with maggots and other scavenger insects. Katniss became paralyzed with fear, who would be next? She had seen so many people die, she didn't think she could take anymore.

Then she heard it again, Prim screaming and begging. Katniss was back on her feet, heading towards the sound. She barely acknowledged Finnick's head, ironically skewered on his trademark triton. Then Wiress, pale and bloated, like she had been submerged in water for a great length of time. Next, she passed Beetee, his body charred and blackened, hit by a huge surge of electricity no doubt. Finally, she passed a pile of bodies, everyone who died in the bombing of District 12 with Madge's body at the very top of the pile, barely identifiable by her golden hair.

Katniss broke through a clearing, and there, perched in the middle was the jabberjay mimicking her sisters cry for help. Katniss fell to her knees once again as she took in the scene in front of her. The jabberjay was surrounded by body parts, a whole foot, half of a finger, blood and guts scattered everywhere. Katniss didn't need to confirm it, she knew what she was seeing, Prim's body, blown to pieces. It was in that moment that she gave up, falling to the ground and pulling her knees to her chest. Katniss cried, she became overwhelmed by all the death and destruction she had seen in her life. She cried for her friends, and her enemies, for her district, and the other districts, even for Snow and Coin, and especially for Prim. Her baby sister that she had fought so hard to protect, had started a war for, and now she was dead, pieces of Prim's body spread all around Katniss. A macabre reminder of how much she had lost.

"Katniss," someone was shaking her. Katniss twitched, her body sore from laying on the ground in the woods, crying her heart out. "Katniss, wake up," She was being shook again, a blinding pain suddenly shot through her head as she started to come to.

"Wha...," Katniss mumbled trying to open her eyes. At first all she could see was pale skin and golden locks. Scared she was waking into another nightmare, Katniss immediately snapped her eyes shut. Then she felt a soft cool hand cup her cheek, soothing her head slightly. Katniss blinked a few times, trying to make out the sight in front of her.

"No, not again," Katniss moaned, "you're dead." She attempted to jump up off the couch and run for the door, but a firm hand on her should kept her from moving.

"I'm not dead Katniss, I'm really here," Madge smiled down at her, her blue eyes brimmed with tears. Katniss didn't care how it was possible, she just cared that it was real. Katniss threw out her arms to embrace Madge, effectively pulling Madge down partially on top of her. Madge chuckled, and reluctantly extricated herself from Katniss's embrace.

"What happened? How are you alive?" Katniss asked, wide eyed.

"We can catch up later Katniss, for now, you need sleep." With that, Madge plunged a needle into Katniss's arm, sending her off into a dreamless sleep.
