We are almost at the end of our story :( I know, right? But don't worry, happy moments are coming.

I don't own THG characters nor The Little Mermaid world. Enjoy!

Thud!

Somewhere in my room, there's something or someone knocking. I stay lying down, ignoring the little knocks.

Thud!

I open my eyes slowly and the early morning light crawling through the windows stings my eyes a bit. I sit and look around the room, trying to make out the knocks. My eyes widen when I see Beetee banging on the window. I get out of the bed quickly and open the window, feeling the sea breeze.

"Katniss." Beetee says breathly.

I look at him while he regains his breath.

"Congratulations." He exclaims.

What?

"What's up with this noise?" Haymitch asks sleeply from the bed.

Beetee enters the room and lands on the bed.

"I just heard the news."

"What news?" Haymitch gets up.

"The wedding. Everyone is talking about it."

Wedding? Oh...

"The prince is getting married." Beetee says.

I smile so big, I think I may start jumping around. Peeta is going to marry me.

"Are you sure?" Haymitch doubts.

"Why wouldn't I?" Beetee questions.

"If he's going to marry Katniss, he would have proposed to her. Something that didn't happen yet."

I forget their conversation and look myself in the mirror. I adjust my loose hair and put on a gentle smile. I can't even think properly. I only had today for one last chance and I didn't do anything. It came to me.

"Katniss." I turn to Haymitch. "Did you hear what I said?"

I nod and give him a small pet on the head. I open the door and walk quickly through the hall. I stop suddenly at the top of the staircase when I see Peeta and Finnick on the main hall. Beside Peeta there's a girl. She looks up at him and my eyes widen. She's the girl from the beach. The one Peeta thinks that saved him. My smile falls.

I hide behind one column and watch their conversation. I don't understand what's happening.

"Are you sure she's the girl?" Finnick asks.

"Yes." Peeta looks at the girl and puts his arm around her. I feel my throat closing.

"Well it seems I was wrong." Finnick smiles. "She is real and very pretty."

I hold tightly to the column, so my legs won't give up on me.

"What's your name, my dear?" He asks.

"Glimmer." She smiles sweetly.

"Very lovely." He says but it seems forced. "So when will the wedding be?"

"Today." Peeta orders. No.

"That fast?" Finnick raises an eyebrow. "You know things like this take time and you just found the girl."

"The ship with the guests will leave today before sunset." His voice sounds strange.

"...Alright." Finnick says. "I'll go arrange everything."

He walks away, leaving Peeta and Glimmer alone. I turn around and rest against the wall.

He is getting married to her. Not me. I start breathing heavily. I can't believe it. Why can't he see she isn't the girl that saved him? She could't have possibly sang to him. Her voice isn't my voice. I rest my hand on my forehead and close my eyes. My last chance to make him love me. Now ruined. He believes she is the one and there's nothing I can do. He looked so hipnotized by her. So in love with her. I let a few tears fall and then walk away from that scene.

I walk slowly, supporting my weight with the walls. I open the door and rest against it, once closed.

"Katniss?"

Haymitch and Beetee are still standing on top of the bed.

I shake my head and sink to the floor, letting the real tears fall now. Haymitch and Beetee don't say anything and let me cry over everything. Suddenly there's a knock on the door.

"See you later." Beetee flies through the open window.

I get up from the floor and clean the tears from my face quickly while Haymitch hides under the bed.

I open the door and to my surprise, Finnick stands there.

"Good morning." He smiles but soon disappears. "Are you ok?"

I nod but just looking at him, I almost crying again. I breath slowly and give him a small smile.

"Well..." He coughs. "I just came to say... that... uh... Peeta is getting married."

I pretend to be surpised but deep down, I break just hearing those words again.

"Yeah... Crazy." He says. "I guess the girl was real after all."

"But I wanted to invite you to the wedding. I know you only have been here for two days but Peeta cares about you a lot and it would be pleasant if you attend it." He suggests.

I keep looking at him, not knowing what to say. Watch the person you love marry another when after you'll have to disappear forever. And why is Finnick inviting me? So later they can laugh at me?

I shake my head and look down.

"Oh... well, that's ok." He says disappointed. "But if you change your mind, you can always come and I'll tell Effie to help you dress."

I look up and smile. He nods and leaves. I close the door and lay down on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

"Katniss," Haymitch starts." I always told you humans were horrible creatures."

I turn away from him and close my eyes. Please leave me alone.

I wait for everyone to get inside the ship while I hide behind one of the port's wood column. Finnick is last to enter and he looks back, hoping to see me. I didn't say anything to him and spent the rest of the day in my room, lying down on the bed or staring at the sea through the window. No one came to bother me or tell me it was time for lunch. Everyone was busy with the preparations for the wedding. I haven't seen Peeta since this morning and I miss seeing his smile and those blue eyes. I think if I was to stand in front of him, he wouldn't say a word or recognize me. He's blinded by that girl.

The ship starts moving away from the port so I walk slowly to it's edge. I still can hear some laughter and music from the ship. The sun is getting closer to the horizon and casts various colours upon the water surface. I only have to wait a few hours before everything ends. I sigh and sit at the edge of the port.

I look down at the water and see Gale emerging. He's frowning but his eyes tell different. They're full of anger and sadness. When I told him, just a few moments ago, he was ready to go after Peeta and kill him himself. He shouted and cursed. I should be surprised by his outburst but I didn't give it much importance and it was better to let him say what he wanted.

I feel something wet trail down my cheek. I don't clean it. No one's here to see the tears of a poor mute girl.

"Katniss!"

I look up and see Beetee flying fast towards us. I get up swiftly.

"Katniss..." He lands and start talking really fast.

"Could you please shut up and talk slowly!" Haymitch snaps.

Beetee takes a deep breath. "The ship...no... The girl, she's a fake."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Haymitch asks.

"I saw the girl and she was talking with the Sea Witch."

Sea Witch? Coin?

"Huh?"

"This is all a scheme. Coin is helping the girl marry the prince and she's using your voice." Beetee explains.

Oh no...

I got to do something before they get married. I look around, trying to find something that will help me get to the ship. There's no other way but to swim. I jump into the water but soon enough I come up gasping for air. I'm drowning and my hair is all over my face.

"We got to stop the wedding." Gale says.

"Grab onto this sweetheart." Haymitch cuts some ropes and several barrels fall into the water. I grab onto one quickly. "Gale, take her to the ship fast." I hand Gale a piece of rope attached to the barrel and he starts swimming in direction of the ship.

Gale is pulling the barrel with so much strength, I think it's going to break. The sun has already come in contact with the horizon. I don't have enough time and we are still far from the ship. What will I do when I get to the ship? I can always beat the crap out of that girl for stealing Peeta from me or I can go straight to Peeta and kiss him. I don't care if he rejects me, I just want him to know how much I love him before I go.

"We're almost there." Gale gasps.

The ship has stopped so we get to it quickly. I grab onto the anchor's chain and start climb it. I put my hands on the ship's railing and pull myself up. When I look at the ship's deck, everyone is running around and several birds and marine animals are attacking the girl.

The next chapter is the good part. Muahahah.

Also, the girl is Glimmer. It was kind of obvious. She doesn't like Katniss so she was the right girl.

And OH MY GOD! That final trailer of Catching Fire was just... I was trembling everywhere when I saw Peeta shouting at Katniss "It's not real!" Also, don't forget to review :)
