We were nearing the Capitol, passing through District One. Johanna it turns outs was nice once you got past the cold hard exterior she always put up. She had been through a pretty rough life. Snow killed everyone she loved and now she wanted to kill him; but she didn't let her anger control her life. She was a compassionate girl inside with a mission for revenge if that's what you want to call it. She told us loads about the Capitol. IT was Peeta who was sent to Thirteen to destroy the base. Snow was trying to kill both me and Cato off; fortunately Cato and I were not at the base.

"So how are we going to get into the Mansion?" I ask

"Well, I have an idea but you may not like it." Johanna said

"Just tell me the idea."

"Ok, well from my experience at the House, I know that the guards outside are always strict as to who comes in but they do see many girls from the House come though whenever the men want some action so they let them in."

"No way Johanna. Katniss is not doing that." Cato barked. It took me a moment to catch on to what Johanna was saying. I would dress as one of those girls. I hated the thought of it but if it got me in, then I would do it.

"Alright, I'm in." Johanna smiled while Cato was fuming.

"Katniss you are not doing that. I won't have you dressing up as some whore just to get in. We'll find another way in."

"Cato it's the most efficient and quickest plan we have. Those men already expect these girls to come in, so they won't get suspicious. Please Cato, my sister is in there. I need to safe her." I searched his eyes. I could see that he was hurt and didn't want this but he knew that it would work.

"Okay fine but only if Johanna goes with you." Cato exhaled, admitting defeat.

"Alright, but how will you get in?" I ask

"I'll figure out something, don't worry about me. Just focus on Prim and getting her out."

"Guys, we're coming into the Station so we need to get off and go. But first we have to make a stop first."

"Where?"

"For starters, you're going to need a costume if you're to pretend you're there for sex." I turned to Cato and kissed him.

"I'll see you soon alright. And when I do Snow will be dead and Prim will be safe. Panem will be free of the Capitol's reign."

"Be careful alright."

"You too." Johanna and I hopped off the train and ran towards the house.

"Who's this? A newbie for recruiting." Zafrina asked. She was the head manager of the House I'm guessing. Johanna and I had come up with an idea of how to sneak the costume out.

"No. She's been requested by Victor Peeta Mellark at President Snow's Mansion. I guess he's over Katniss and wants some action. He told President Snow to send a girl for him and this is the girl."

"Right, we'll you know how it goes but run it by me first. We must have the best for Mr Mellark."

"Yes Mistress Zafrina." Johanna and I walked through a hallway and into a room full of closets, boxes and mirrors. She walked to one closet and opened it looking for a maid's outfit. The plan was to dress in a skimpy maid's outfit and carry a make-up box that was supposed to be full of 'toys' to use but under neither the base of it was clothes to change into once I was inside. Johanna pulled out what she was looking for. Soon enough, I was dressed. I grabbed the box containing my change of clothes and walked out with Johanna to see Mistress Zafrina. She studied me for a minute before speaking.

"Yes she looks superb. I'm sure Mr Mellark will have a very nice time. Go on then."

"Thank you Mistress Zafrina." We walked out and I put my white coat on over the top. I couldn't very well parade around the Capitol looking like this. Finally we made our way to Snow's Mansion. I took off my coat and fixed my outfit. This was it. We walked up to the doors before being stop by two men. Their eyes were glued to my chest.

"Please let us pass; Mr Mellark is waiting for me."

"Hold on Kitten why don't you stay and play with us." The man on the left said

"Listen, I don't want to keep Mr Mellark waiting and when he asks me what to me so long I'll tell him it was you two. We wouldn't want that would we?" I said with a twinge of anger in my voice but still making sure it was soft.

"Uh…no…please go in." I walked through the door "Not you though". I looked back to see Johanna stuck at the door.

"Go, have fun." She said. I knew what she meant. Leave me and find your sister. I kept walking and left. Hopping into an empty cupboard, I changed and moved out. I had stashed my bow and arrows in the clothes when they were being packed. I walked out the mansion looking for the dungeons avoiding any guards. I walked down a flight of stairs before I heard a scream. It jolted my heart. I knew it was Primrose. I dashed down and into the dungeon to find a man hovering of Prim.

"Katniss!" The man turned and I shot him in the chest before he could cry out for back up. I looked at Prim. She was a mess. Her state fuelled my rage to kill Snow. Running over to her, I untied her Knots and clothed her. The only other clothing I had was the skimpy dress so I ripped it and tied it together making the dress smaller so that it would fit Prim.

"Prim I am so sorry this happened to you." She ran towards me and gave me a giant hug.

"Thank you for saving me Katniss." I knelt down to her level and looked in her eyes.

"The minute I found out what happened to you, I was filled with rage. So I came here to rescue you." I left out the part about killing Snow.

"But you're going to kill Snow right because he said he was going to kill you."

"Yes I am, so I need you to get out of here. Johanna will be waiting for you outside the doors. Go up the stairs, go down the long hallway and turn left at the end of it. Then go right. Your find the doors at the end of the hallway. Once you open them, you'll find guards so run out as fast as you can. Do you understand?" She nodded at me and gave me another hug.

"Come back alive Katniss" I pulled an arrow out of my quiver and gave it to her.

"I will. Prim is anyone spots you and grabs hold of you, I want you to spear them with this. I know you hate hurting people but this arrow could be the difference between life and death" She nodded and took it from me. "Ok, now go. I'll see you soon enough" I saw a tear roll down her cheek. She hugged me once last time before she ran off through the iron gate and up the stairs.

"So how will I kill him then?" I recognized that voice anyway. It way Peeta. The bloody bastard was still alive. He must have survived the bombing.

"Kill him anyway you want. Axe, gun, hammer, knife. Anyway at all. If he dies then Katniss will crumple and at last I will kill her. We will have full reign and control over the Capitol again and that pest will be gone." It was to end him once and for all. I stepped out from the hall and into their path.

"Looking for me Mellark?"

"Definitely, I have a bone to pick with you. President Snow, please get to safety. I'm sure that if Cato is here, then Katniss will be too and she'll be after you." The old man nodded and hurried away. Peeta turned to face me, pulling a knife from his back pocket. Thankfully, Katniss and I still had our weapons from Thirteen so I was armed with a sword.

"I always knew I should have killed you at the Bloodbath. I make up for that now." He ran towards wielding his knife. I deflected his knife and knocked it out of his hand before slicing his chest. He fell before me, instantly dying.

"Have fun in Hell." I said walking off.

We were ready. Haymitch had recruited every Victor we needed except Johanna. Haymitch was very keen on having her in our ragtag team of allies but we couldn't find her in District Seven. Right now we were huddled in an alley close to Snow's mansion. Snow had probably had security tightened recently after the explosion so now there would be more guard and more work to do to get into the mansion itself.

"Alright so what's the plan Captain?" Ever since Woof joined, he had started calling Haymitch Captain because he basically was. He was the leader of the group really.

"I don't have a detailed plan, but me and Chaff will go out and take out the guards at the gate. Once we do, then we'll signal you to come over and we'll invade the place, taking out anyone we see. Okay let's go." Chaff and I walked out, holding the new machine guns that Woof and Cecelia made. Actually Chaff was the one with the machine gun. I had a poison spiked sword that obviously poisons the victim when the blade came in contact with human flesh. We turned the corner into the street where Snow's house stood however the sight that greeted us wasn't what we expected. There only two guards standing outside the front door and they were very distracted by the woman talking to them. We would have to wait until this woman was gone before we could attack. We hid close enough to hear what they were saying.

"Baby, it's a two way street. You have to pay first and then I deliver the goods." I recognised the woman's voice. It was so stupid. I didn't know any women in the Capitol that personally besides Effy Trinket to know the sound of their voice.

"We can either do this the easy way of the hard way, whore." The man on the left said gripping her arm.

"I choose the hard way." She flipped him off her and pulled out a gun instantly shooting him in the chest before grabbing a knife from her front pocket and throwing it at the man behind her before he could attack her. The second man fell to the ground in pain. The knife lodged in his lower stomach. I was in shock. Who was this girl because she was definitely on our side. She put away her knife but kept her gun in hand. It took me a second to recognise who she was.

"Now what would a past Victor be doing outside Snow's Mansion?" I said out loud stepping out from my hiding place. She spun around and shot at me. Thankfully, I still had sharp reflexes and was able to deflect the bullet with my sword.

"Haymitch? What are you doing here?" Johanna asked

"I could ask the same about you Johanna. Hey guys it's alright now. You can come out. Look who's here." The rest of the members came around and gasped as Johanna came into their view.

"Now what are you doing here Johanna. Are you planning on invading the mansion as well." I asked her. She opened her mouth to reply but before she could the doors burst open and a little girl ran out. I immediately knew that it was Prim.

"Prim!" Johanna called out. She ran up to the little girl and hugged her. Prim was a mess. What had they done to her?

"Are you Johanna? Katniss said that Johanna was waiting for me and would take me to safety."

"Yes I am." Johanna answered

"Wait, Prim, did you say that Katniss was inside?" I asked her. She turned to face me and a smile grew on her face.

"Haymitch! You have to help. Katniss is inside looking for Snow. I know she can take care of herself but you have to help her."

"Alright let's go squad. Johanna, you take Prim and get her out of here. We'll take care of Snow." I motioned for the rest to file in and they ran inside. I watched as Johanna ran in the opposite direction with Prim before running inside the mansion.

I was running round the mansion taking out any guard that came into my path before I literally ran into someone. I got up and prepared myself for another fight before I realised who I was fighting

"Cato?" I heard Arlia's sweet voice. I looked around and saw her standing with a team of Victors from past Hunger Games. The person I ran into on the floor was Haymitch. I leant down to help him up.

'What are you guys doing here?" I asked him.

"Helping you of course. Did you seriously think I would let you and Katniss go all the way to the Capitol to kill Snow without a little backup. This is the Victor Squad. This is Beetee and Wiress from Three, Chaff and Seeder from Eleven, Cecelia and Woof from Eight and Arlia. We also had Johanna with us but she's taking Prim away back to Two." This news made me happy and relieved. Prim was safe now.

"Thank you. It was Johanna's and Katniss' plan to get her out of here and then for Johanna to take her away."

"Wait so Johanna was travelling with you?" Haymitch asked me.

"Yes, we trekked through the forest and made our way to Seven. There Johanna had been following us. We were on the train when she came to us wanting to help take out Snow and rescue Prim."

"Ok good, well welcome to the team Cato." We ran towards the 'Throne Room' as Snow would call it with Arlia's direction. I was glad she was here to guide us. After taking out a few guards we finally made our way to the Throne Room.

"Ready?" I asked Haymitch

"Let's bring that bastard down" I grinned at him and threw the doors open. Katniss had already made it, except she was trying to fight off I dozen guards with her bow and arrow. Suddenly, an arrow whizzed past me and lodged in the ground. Within a second, the ground blew up, throwing nearby guards of their feet. I looked back to see Woof, with a bow and arrow in his hand. That was one military bow.

"Ah look the whole gang is here. Take them out." Snow sneered but I wasn't fooled. I could see fear in his eyes.

"With pleasure Snow." Beetee said before he threw a trident at a guard electrifying him. I ran forward toward one and swung my sword at him. The battle had begun. All around me, I could see my members fighting. I saw Cato fighting back to back with Katniss taking out guards that charged at them. By now, half of the guards were dead. I had killed six of them.

"Cato, go take out Snow." I heard Katniss tell him.

"But I thought that you wanted to take him out?"

"Just do it." She yelled and he fought his way through to Snow who grabbed a sword from one of the dead guards. I could see that Katniss would be able to fight them all by herself. While making my way up to her, I saw one guard preparing to smite her, while her back was turned fighting some another guard. I threw my sword at the man and he crumpled to the floor. Katniss killed the man she was fighting with and looked up to see me.

"Need a hand?" I asked pulling my sword out of the dead man's chest. We finished off the guards, one by one. Sometime during the battle, Katniss disappeared.

"So you've come to kill me, have you?" Snow asked with a smug grin on his face, grabbing a sword from one of the dead guards.

"You bet I have. Any last words Snow?" I took a strike at him and he swung his blade, colliding with mine. For his old age, he had sharp reflexes. I continued to attack him wielding my sword.

"Well Cato, this is your goodbye." Distracted by what he was saying, he managed he stab my in the arm, causing me to drop my sword and fall to the ground. Snow hovered over me, pointing his sword towards my throat.

"Well Cato, any last words?"

"Burn in hell Snow." Someone said. Immediately an arrow drove straight through his heart poking out through his chest. The old man gasped and fell to the ground. I looked up to see Katniss standing there, blood covering her hands.

"Katniss!" She knelt down next to me.

"Oh My God Cato! Your arm." She said. I looked at it and the sleeve of my shirt was drenched in my blood. She ripped of my sleeve and then the bottom of her shirt, before tightly tying it around my arm without causing me pain. I managed to get up with Katniss' help. There on the ground lay Snow. He was gasping for air, slowing dying. Somehow his heart was still alive.

"You'll pay for this Katniss. I'll get you." He choked out. I pulled out my gun from my back pocket.

"Goodbye Snow" I aimed the gun at his head and fired. The old man died then and there. I put my gun away and pulled Katniss close. The rest of the squad had finished off the guards and were posed waiting for any others to come.

"It's over Katniss. It's finally over." I pulled her into a massive hug. She tilted my face down and looked into my eyes before kissing me passionately.

~2 years later~

I can't believe that it has been two years since Panem was set free. Once word got out that Snow died, the Capitol crumpled and fell. Now they live among us. Panem was finally set free and there was peace. But the best thing was that the Hunger Games no longer existed. Children like Prim were able to live out their lives to the fullest. There was no fear of being drawn anymore. People's lives were filled with joy and happiness.

"I can't believe that it was two years ago that we killed Snow?" Cato said. At the present time we were relaxing in the meadow. It was our place and held something meaningful to us.

"I know. It feels like we only did it yesterday. Around this time, I would be worried for Prim's sake, hoping she would be drawn for the Hunger Games but now all I see in her life is joy. Every day she has a big smile on her face. And not just because she is always with Jason." I couldn't help but smile at that. It was that fateful day when Jason came up to her at school and asked her out. Ever since then, those two have been joined at the hip. It made me happy to see her in love just like I was. I turned around to face Cato and kiss him but I saw him on one knee and gasped. Was he really doing what I thought he was? He was! Pulling a box from his back pocket, he presented to me. The ring was beautiful. It was a opal cut emerald

"Katniss Elizabeth Everdeen. I have loved you since the day I meet you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

"YES!" I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him passionately. Soon he pulled back and placed the ring on my left hand. It was so beautiful.

"I love you Katniss"

"I love you too, Cato" He pulled me back in for another kiss, which led to another, which later on led to the removal of our clothes and us making love in the meadow.

"It's time! It's time! Everyone is waiting!" Prim yelled at me. Johanna was just finishing my makeup before helping me into my dress. Mum got teary eyed at the sight of me that it made me cry. Thankfully, the makeup that Johanna used was all waterproof so I could, pour a bucket of water on my face and the makeup would not come off. I went downstairs and got into the carriage that would take me to Cato.

"Katniss?" Prim asked me. She was in the carriage as well because she was one of my bridesmaids. In the other carriage, was my Made of Honour which was Jane; She was so happy when I asked her to be. My other bridesmaids were Lucy and Hailey; Friends I had made from training at the Academy.

"Yes"

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks Prim. You look beautiful too. I'm sure that Jason's jaw will drop when he sees you." We arrived at the Church and I went inside. There waiting for at the doors was Richard. Richard was Cato's dad. Since my own dad was dead, I had no one to walk me down the aisle however Richard volunteered, saying he would be honoured to walk his future daughter – in – law down the aisle.

"Katniss, you look amazing. Cato is very lucky to have you." He gave me a small hug and a kiss on my forehead. "Are you ready?"

"As I'll ever be." We waited while my Bridesmaids walked down before the Wedding March played. I enter the hall where everyone was standing but my eyes were only on Cato as I walked down. He looked so handsome in his black tux. Finally I reached him. Richard kissed my forehead again before walking to his seat.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Cato Marcus Stone and Katniss Elizabeth Everdeen in holy matrimony.

Marriage is a solemn institution to be held in honour by all, it is the cornerstone of the family and of the community. It requires of those who undertake it a complete and unreserved giving of one's self. It is not to be entered into lightly, as marriage is a sincere and mutual commitment to love one another. This commitment symbolizes the intimate sharing of two lives and still enhances the individuality of each of you. Now the bride and groom have written there on vows."

"Katniss, I knew from the minute I met you that you would be a great friend to be, but as we grew closer I fell in love with you. Now after all this time, I realise that I was in love with you from the very start. I love you and never wish to be parted from you from this day forward." I tried my hardest to keep the waterworks from flowing but a few tears leaked from my eyes.

"Cato, you were always there for me when I needed you. Whenever I was sad, you comforted me, when I was lonely, you kept me company, when I was happy, you would hug me and spin me around in circles. I knew that when I needed you, you'd be there. And so as I stand here today, I will promise to love you forever and be there for you."

"Cato, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in sickness and in health, remaining faithful to her as long as you both shall live?" He took the ring from his Best Man and slid it on my left hand finger.

"I do"

"Katniss, do you take this man to be your wedded husband? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honour and keep him in sickness and in health, remaining faithful to him as long as you both shall live?" I took the ring Jane handed me and placed it on Cato's hand.

"I do"

"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Cato lifted my veil and pulled me into his arms. I kissed him ardently, pouring all my love for him into this kiss. Around us, I could hear cheering. We pulled back laughing and wait our way back down the aisle. Outside waiting for us was a white limousine that read 'Just Married' on the back. We made our way inside the vehicle and it speed off. Cato took off my veil and kissed me again.

"So Mrs Stone, how are you?"

"Absolutely wonderful Mr Stone." I pulled him back, capturing his lips.
