A/N: Probably one of the most popular songs on the soundtrack, Safe and Sound is pretty awesome. When this song was first released, there was a lot of speculation over where it would be played. I, wanting to include the entire triliogy and original characters I feel would connect with this song, created a new family for this song to be about. I want to try to include every district so this victor is from 9 (which is the least spoken about district in the entire series.) Enjoy and review!
Safe and Sound
I hold my daughter close to my side. Sweet little Barlee cries in to my dress and I know it's my fault, if I would just joined the damn revolution I wouldn't be in this situation and neither would my angel. But it's too late now, I can hear the peacekeepers prowling outside the house. We are one of the few districts not in the fight against the capitol, we're too weak and too small to fight. I'm the only surviving victor from our district after the Quell, and since I'm still here it seems fit for the capitol to dispose of me first. But they could have at least been quiet about it.
"Don't leave me here alone." She cries as I start towards the window. "I'll never leave you." Her tiny three year old self clings to me as I pick her up and glance out the window. "Don't look outside the window, darling." I watch the peacekeepers circle the house again. Barlee attempts a glance but I stop her, "The world's on fire dear, you don't need to see that" I allude towards the latest victor Katniss Everdeen. I carry her to my bed and I snuggle close to her.
I hold her, "Just close your eyes dear. No one will hurt you while I'm here." I hum a simple lullabye and she starts to drift to sleep. I think of all I've been through. The games were just the start. And then the capitol's games, and the tributes I was suppose to look after. And then the Quell. And my husband. He made it through the first game only to die the second the 75th games began. And I was helpless, I watched my friends die. And now it's my turn. I look at my daughter, her curly brown hair, her thumb in her mouth. She's so young, but she doesn't deserve this. She deserves a perfect happy world. And even if the rebel's win, this world will never be good enough for her. So we will kiss it goodbye toghether. She will she her father again, as I will my husband.
I smile as the world goes white and my husband's arms slip around me.
A/N: Super short and sad, but I feel like not all victors joined the rebellion. And the capitol would've dealed with the ones who didn't so information wasn't getting relayed to the rebels. Hope you enjoy and please review!
