Hi All thank you for following the story. This is the final battle scene. I hope you enjoy!

PS I don't Onw the Hunger Games...or Peeta Pan


Katniss walked on the pristine sandy beaches of the never shores, she paused to look up at the sunrise over the horizon. She looked pensive. Peeta thoughtfully gazed at the girl who spent millennia as the Pan, but who gave it up for him. Her action was a living testament to love. Peeta hoped he was worthy to receive such a precious gift. He'd felt when she left his side this morning. It was odd, he felt her loss deeply. Peeta never shared a bed before with anyone. Sleeping next to Katniss should have felt strange or awkward, but it wasn't. They slept next to each other and it felt natural and good.

His blue eyes took in the way the sunlight played upon her olive skin. She looked intertwined to the landscape, but at the same time separate from it. She was dressed in Peeta's night dress. Her hair was combed and brushed and hung well to her waist. The dark tresses were slightly wavy and Peeta knew just how luxurious and soft her hair was.

She shone brightly in the morning sun. To Peeta, she looked like a beautiful luminous young ingénue. He softly called out to her, "Katniss?"

She turned around her gray eyes looked like storms.

"I have something for you." Peeta held out his hand.

There were two hair pins with pearls on them. "Pearls, where did you get this?"

"Finnick got us clams for breakfast. I opened mine up and these two fell out. I found two hair pins and well-" Peeta could not hide the flush that crept up his face. "The gray color reminds me of your eyes."

Katniss cheeks turned rosy. She glanced up at him in wonder.

"Here let me put these in your hair." Peeta gently settled them in her hair pushing it away from her face. "This way you won't be fretting about your hair."

Katniss looked down.

"No worries." Peeta touched her chin and lifted it up.

"Peeta," Katniss blurted. "Should we go along with the plan, or should we leave? Find a different way to get Primrose?"

"I think the plan will work, but if it doesn't then we go off on our own." Peeta held out his arms for her. She easily stepped into them.

"If anything goes wrong and we get separated we'll meet up at look-out-point." Katniss breathed.

"Okay, we'll wait until midnight." Peeta proposed.

"Yes, midnight, I'll meet you at midnight." Katniss expelled the breath.

Each one of them holding on to the other mentally preparing for the battle ahead, it was a long road but Snow had to be stopped, and they were willing to do what it took.

"Hey lovebirds, let's go!" Finnick came to get them, interrupting their private time.

Peeta and Katniss walked into the jungle. Gale sprinkled them with the dust Jo left behind and together they flew into the skies with the other boys. They avoided casting shadows down on the water, darting from cloud to cloud. They Floated in the air waiting for the moment, to attack.

Gale asked, "Any sightings from Jo?"

None of the boys knew anything. They spied on the ship from the clouds above.

The pirates weren't acting differently. If anything the only one who acted out of sorts was the Captain. The man was in a rage when he stepped outside. The men doubled their efforts to fix the ship. Snow's orders were clipped. The wind carried his voice up to the cloud where the boys sat.

"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!" Snow pointed to one of the lose boards. Normally his commands were quiet threats. His yelling caused the men to anxiety levels to rise.

With Snow acting out of sorts and Mr. Flickerman did the best he could to appease the nervousness of the men. Even Brutus looked like a frightened girl when Snow barked. No one rested.

Above hidden by the clouds the eyes of the Lost Boys were keenly intoned with the harried sailors. Gale grinned, he looked to Katniss. They were of one accord, with all of the activity it would be easy for Katniss to sneak onto the ship.

Gale nodded, Katniss sat next to Peeta. She glanced at Peeta his hand found hers and squeezed it reassuringly. She promised herself she was going to get Primrose out even if she died.

"I'll see you at midnight?" Katniss said, pressing her forehead to his.

"Okay," Peeta whispered back.

They watched Katniss slowly descend from the clouds. She found a porthole window open and slipped inside. Gale watched when she made it inside.

"Gale it's now or never," Thom said.

Gale nodded and thus began the slow decent of the lost boys. Each one took their position as they had discussed.

Snow was standing yelling at the exhausted crew when Gale flew behind him bounced up and took his hat crowing into the wind, like a rooster.

It only took Snow a single pause to yell, "Seize that insolent boy!"

The pirates scrambled to get Gale and the Capitan's hat. Gale sailed through the air playing with them. They ran from one end of the deck to the other chasing Gale. It became a game; with each pass they became tired, unable to match Gale's exuberance and youth. Gale laughed at them. Causing a ruckus, a shot was fired and Gale swept out of its way. He sat on one the masts.

Snow stood amongst the exhausted crew. Mr. Flickerman had the gun in his hand, the barrel was still smoking. Gale grinned and whistled at both the Captain and his first mate. The Captain said something under his breath, and Gale noted Mr. Flickerman disappeared off to the side.

"HELOOOO!" He waved at Snow.

"I thought you dead!" Snow answered back frustrated.

"You can't keep a good Pan down." Gale took out his flute and began to play a small tune.

"Give me my hat back!" Snow was frustrated. "And where is the Pan? Where is Katniss?"

Gale put away his flute, there were two of Snow's men nearing him. "Oh, me I forgot, you wanted Katniss correct?" Gale said, twirling the hat in his hand.

Snow mutely stared up at Gale.

"Well she's agreed to your war, you took something from her and she wants it back." Gale calmly stretched, standing up. The men were getting closer.

"Well, where is she?" Snow's eyes sparkled with unspoken malice.

"The problem is Snow she's not the Pan, I told you, I'm the Pan now and you're gonna have to deal with me," Gale said pretending to be a pugilist, he swung his fists in the air boxing with his shadow. He needed to give Katniss enough time to be able to get to Primrose and out. He danced a bit around his shadow.

Snow's hands fisted. His face became red and swelled. "I want Katniss!"

"Now, now Snow, where are your manners." Gale took the hat off in a flourish and bowed.

"I have no time for this, where is Katniss?"

Gale noted Mr. Flickerman had rejoined the Captian's side. "Now, Capitan, you get what you get and you don't get upset!" Gale grinned. "You took something from Katniss and we're going to take it back. It's time to finish this war Snow."

"NOW, GET HIM NOW!" Snow's frustrated screams could be heard from every nook of the ship as two Pirates tried to take down Gale. Leaping forward into the air he easily slipped out of their hands.

He crowed and the lost boys came out of their hiding surrounding the pirates and the cry for was heard.

From her hidden position, Katniss could hear the heavy tread of the pirate's boots as they rushed up toward the deck. Katniss employed her stealth abilities to sneak around She'd checked below, first the stores and then made her way up to the crews quarters, she doubted the Captain would put Peeta's niece amongst the men. Pirates were a superstitious lot. Snow had to keep Primrose out of sight. She checked the galley, and all places except for where the Captain and Mr. Flickerman's quarters were. Now she hid in a corner as men flew by on their rush to get topside.

She slowly counted past ten before she made her way through the maze that was towards the back of the old ship where the officer's rooms were located. She wasn't sure what she would find. She was below the Captain's suite of rooms. She followed a narrow corridor that led to a ladder.

She climbed and found herself at the back of the ship. She could see the fighting going. The Lost Boys swooped down like birds, brandishing cunning moves to disarm the pirates. She glanced at Peeta who was dangling from one of the riggings. Her voice caught in her throat. He was going to fall and get hurt, then she saw Finnick sweep in and carry him off. Katniss shook her head, as she pressed herself against the door that led to the private quarters. Her body trembled as she momentarily thought of something awful happening to him.

Katniss often argued she didn't need anything to survive, but she needed Peeta. She closed her eyes briefly to the fighting and took a deep, much needed, breath of fresh air. She whispered under her breath, "Katniss Everdeen, you chose to leave being Pan for Peeta. You will get Primrose, and you will help defeat Snow." Her jaw locked in determination. "We're going to leave here and put him a place where no one can touch him."

With that mantra in mind, she turned around and opened the door. She found herself in a room with four three doors. One door was opened and it looked like a stairwell to another part of the ship. She could hear Thom's laughter wafting up the stairs.

Katniss did not go down there, she guessed if the Boy's hadn't spotted Prim then she wouldn't be there. She focused her attention on the remaining three doors.

One door was massive door beautifully and ornately carved. Katniss thought to herself that was Snow's abode. The other two weren't as nicely decorated; she hoped Primrose was behind one of those two doors. Taking a deep breath she made her way to the first room and found it was locked. She took the pins Peeta had given her earlier to unlock the door. She pressed her ear to the lock, she could hear the mechanism, scraping of metal with metal, and the final click to signify it unlocked.

Just as she opened the door Katniss heard someone coming up the stairwell. She quickly shoved the door open and ducked inside the room. She pressed her back to the door as she heard men run by shouting. She took this time to examine the room, there was simple a berth bed by the corner, and a trunk on the floor. The curtains were drawn. She carefully approached and pulled back the drapes.

Disappointment coursed through her veins. Prim was not in this room. Katniss determined Primrose had to be in the other room. She heard cries coming from the portholes. The fighting had to be intense. Katniss pressed her ears to the door to listen for the outside. Opening the door she quickly ran out and tested the lock, it needed to be open. This time there was urgency, as she picked the lock.

Katniss crept into the room. Her eyes narrowed in on Primrose's little body lying still on the bed. "Oh! Prim," She exclaimed rushing forward.

The closing door made Katniss spin around to see Mr. Flickerman standing by the door. She clutched Peeta's niece in her arms. "Please, I do not want to fight Mr. Flickerman, I just want Prim and I want to go home, with Peeta."

"You've grown up." The surprise and awe in his voice could not be denied.

"Yes, I have." Katniss looked down at Peeta's night dress, she could see how this affected men. The girl or rather, the young woman before him was not the child who once delighted in pestering the crew. She was a new creature, Katniss stood up hesitantly and twirled. "Is it a bad thing?"

He stepped closer to her timidly. She could feel the way his gaze as it traveled on her face. "You are no longer the Pan are you?"

Katniss forced her hands in front of her. There was still that side of her that wanted to punch Mr. Flickerman in the neck. "No Mr. Flickerman I am not. I am but a simple girl, who has to find her way through polite society as Peeta calls it."

"This boy Peeta he was the one who affected this change."

Katniss could not help the blush. Peeta was the catalyst for her wanting more. "I wanted a family, as I am sure your own mother wanted when she was my age. I made the choice to be with him."

"He is a lucky lad indeed. You are star-crossed lovers"

Katniss blushed, looking down. In the old days, she might have run him through. But she would regret this. The most important detail was Primrose from the vessel.

"You'll let me take Prim?" Katniss was unsure.

"Yes, she does not belong here." Mr. Flickerman nodded. He looked through the porthole.

"I need to get to a life raft, I do not want to risk flying with her," Katniss said.

"I will help you, but I will strike a bargain. I want to be safe. I don't want to leave this marvelous place. I want peace. Maybe have a game or two of treasure hunt?"

Katniss could not help the large smile that developed on her face. "Mr. Flickerman I have it on very good authority that you will be an excellent Captain."

"Do you think the Pan will allow it?" Flickerman asked.

"I think you will be an excellent foe to play with them." Katniss laughed.

"Then I accept, to play." Flickerman nodded.

"Snow never understood this." Katniss swept the hair away from Prim's small cheek. "He always missed the point." She gazed up at Mr. Flickerman, her voice was soft as petals. "This Island is a place of second chances, second starts. It offers so much to those who accept it."

"Well then," Flickerman swept off his hat and bowed in front Katniss. "My Lady, shall we go and finish this War, so that we look forward to a great future."

Katniss nodded she walked up to the man and reaching up on tiptoes she placed a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you."

At her innocent peck Mr. Flickerman's eyes took on a kindly note. A large blast was heard outside and the ship lurched forward.

"We don't have time!" Mr. Flickerman gazed down at her.

Katniss ran to get Primrose.

Mr. Flickerman opened the door, "The child has been given sleep serum so she will not wake easily. The Captain will be here shortly, so you must hurry if you are to make your escape."

Katniss nodded she gently carried little Prim's body, making sure her head rested on her shoulder.

"This way," Mr. Flickerman indicated as he led her out of the room.

"Thank you," Katniss muttered.

"My dear Lady thank you for a chance to be redeemed, now follow me to freedom." Mr. Flickerman took out his cutlass and led the way topside.

Katniss followed holding Prim, glad she was sound asleep.

Topside was chaotic, as the Lost Boy's rushed down to defend Katniss as she stepped out with Prim. Gale went after Snow, the twins against Crane, they were all engaged in fighting.

"Hurry, I can get you to the life raft before Snow realizes you have Primrose." Mr. Flickerman said.

Peeta was fighting Brutus. For a minute she stumbled, the man was massive, twice Peeta's size and had she had not Prim in her arms she would have gone to help him with the fight. But as she discovered Brutus was no match for Peeta. He easily scooped the large pirate with the bulging muscles in his neck and threw him overboard.

It was then she noted the Mockingjays and the Jabberjays flying around attacking the Pirates. One of them flew toward him.

"Please no not him he's helping me," Katniss yelled.

The Jabberjay stopped, acknowledging her cry. It zipped away.

"Thank you." Mr. Flickerman pointed to the life craft, "This way."

The boat rocked, jarred violently.

The fighting stopped as Lost Boys and Pirates alike gazed up in wonder as the vessel shook once more this time with more force than the last. There was no foreseeable reason why since she could account for Gale and the other boys, they were not blasting the interior of the ship. The water and air looked tranquil.

Once more the boat shuddered even more so, but this time it listed starboard side. Katniss held on to Primrose's little body. She searched for Peeta who was toward the bow of the ship.

Their eyes locked, he stood legs apart, arms bulging, his blond hair fell across his forehead. They were hit once more and it felt as if the ship was being rammed from underneath.

"LOOK IT"S COIN!" Templesmith shouted as he looked over the side of Skulls Majesty.

At Templesmith's warning cry, chaos began. The crew and lost boy ran toward the side. Then she saw Jo and another Fairy shooting through the sky. Katniss happily

Katniss eyes widened. They needed to get off and quickly.

"Jo, sprinkle the boys quick."

"On my way," Jo said shooting forward.

The sudden sound of the cracking of wood as the ship was ripped caused the men to scream. It a sight to behold, experienced seamen scrambling around trying to save themselves. The ship tilted to one side as Coin rammed into the haul once more tearing the ship. Katniss rushed forward looking for a rowboat to get on board.

The ship was capsizing on its side.

Katniss whipped around, she found herself face to face with Snow.

Snow grabbed her hand. "Katniss?"

Katniss gripped Primrose in her arm protectively. She couldn't really struggle. He had a black eye and was bleeding from his nose. "Let me go Snow."

Snow looked shocked to see her. His face twisted. "You cannot be my mother. She's dead, but you look like her." Snow spoke, his grip hurt Katniss, but she was looking for an out. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I am going home." Katniss wanted to be home with Peeta, receiving some boring lesson. Where once the constant danger and adventure was part of her needs, now other things were her priority. "Please, Primrose might fall."

Snow said, "You are not her."

"Please let me go…I'm Katniss, I am not your mother!" She pleaded as Snow pulled her close she grasped Prim closer.

"No, you are not but you do look like her. The resemblance is uncanny." Snow began dragging her toward his cabin.

"Snow I'm no longer the Pan, I'm just a girl who wants…" Katniss wanted to struggle but couldn't. She needed to protect Primrose, at all cost.

Snow looked at her cruelly, "Let's stop lying to one another. You might not be the Pan, but these infidels they still respect your word." His voice turned menacing. "You will order them to stop or you shall never leave the shores of Never Island."

Katniss stood mutely.

She would never betray the island. The tip of his sword scraped against her skin, the sharp metal prickled her skin, he brought it up to her edge of her scalp and she felt it burn. No doubt he cut her. Snow's face broke out into a smile at the sight of her red blood trickling down her cheek. He hissed, "You give the word and hand over control of the Island, and you can leave."

Peeta ran from one side of the ship toward her. "KATNISS!"

At Peeta's yell, Snow whipped them both around.

She saw him racing towards them. "PEETA! NO!"

"You love him," Snow muttered out loud as Peeta faced them.

"Let her go!" Peeta eyes locked with Katniss. She desperately wanted to rush over but it was impossible. Miraculously Primrose was still asleep, the sleep syrup they must have given her a large dosage or something mixed with morphling, a dangerous numbing plant found on the island.

"Master Peeta, you are no longer a child." Snow acknowledged, the strapping boy with the ruddy face and muscular form. He looked to Katniss, and she could see Snow's calculating face. "It seems we have a conundrum, you both want to be free. But I want something more substantial than your petty desires."

Katniss looked to Peeta, his blue eyes looked up briefly. Katniss looked up to find Jo directly above them, pouring dust on top of her. It hit her they could be free, go home. Hope surged through her. She could feel her feet begin to levitate. Jo moved away from them silently.

Peeta looked behind them, and he grinned. "Thank you sir, but you must release Katniss or you will suffer a greater fate."

"Oh, and why is that?" Snow's smugness only last a few seconds as Coin's growl could be heard behind him. He turned around to see Jo the Fairy flying as Cashmere sat on top of the crocodile's head. The massive beast snapped its jaws hungrily at the sight of the Captain.

Snow began to laugh.

"Now we settle this Snow," Cashmere's bells could be heard louder than the roar of the beast as it attacked Snow.

Katniss ran toward Peeta. He grabbed Prim from her easily. Together they made their way to the rowboat Mr. Flickerman was sitting in with a few other Pirates that hated Snow. She turned around to see Coin grab hold of Snow by his booted feet. The crocodile dragged by Snow as Coin dragged him over the side of the listing ship into the water.

The ship groaned and they could hear wood snapping and cracking.

"ABANDON SHIP!" Gale called.

The boys began floating away, Katniss saw a small pink light flickering. She ran toward it. The other Fairy, Cashmere was dying. Somewhere in the skirmish, Cashmere was stomped on both her wings were snapped off. Katniss could here Peeta screaming her name, but she ignored it. Katniss swallowed as she gently scooped up the diminutive Fairy. Katniss whispered, "Hold on, please do not let your light die."

She felt strong arms pick her up from behind; she was relieved to see it was Peeta. He ran with her and jumped onto the rowboat. They hit the water as the ship began to sink.
