I could feel the floor under my feet as we ran through the halls, it echoed with every step.

"Katniss this way!" Finnick sounded, turning left to a huge door. It was stone which meant this was an exit but I did not know where.

"Where exactly will this take us?" I questioned, and he assured me to trust him. We pushed it open and were on a balcony and this balcony was in direct view to where President Snow recites his speeches to his citizens. This is where we wait and strike, in front of everyone. We slouch down behind the marble railings of the balcony and wait for our cue, "Thanks for saving..." I sigh.

"Thank you for saving me.. From myself," I stared confused, "if it wasn't for you... This wouldn't have happen. I would still be obeying and going through the motions, possibly killing myself."

"Finnick, this mission is suicide."

He smirked, "Not if we live." He kissed my forehead and half smiled a little more. We talked, like actually talked, about everything: The Games, Peeta, Annie, our families, our lives before all of this and now. We let all of our feelings out because even though we are saying this is the beginning, it could very well be the end of our lives too but optimism have saved us so far. He takes me hand and traces the scar on it until his trace is cut short by the sound of a crackling sound system. We jolt a little and peer through the marble railings.

Then, we hear his voice cough into the air. His voice is muffled out by thousands of angry citizens screaming for peace and justice. Even the Capitol is falling apart in his palms.

"I am doing everything in my absolute power to fix the harmony in our peaceful society as we speak, the threats are being eliminated and we will soon have order.. Panem to-"

I quickly slid up in instinctive anger to eliminate the last threat. Without thinking I picked up the bow beside me with enough fire to extinguish him with. I plucked the string and watched the arrow fly for his last word. It sunk right into the side of his head and cut his speech short, Panem is no more. It went quiet, you could hear a pin drop but instead of the Peace keepers breaking out in rage... They dropped their weapons and stood still. The crowd looked about until one's eyes met with mine and said, "Long live the Mockingjay."

Soon all of the crowd of saying that and instead of being shot, I noticed the peacekeepers were less tense and breathing easily now. It looked like everyone was breathing easily now, even Finnick and I. The crowd started clapping when they all noticed me on balcony and the Peacekeeper saluted my way.. I shockingly waved back... Confused but at ease. Finnick stood up and and held my hand. We felt a rush of hope... Knowing that this is not the end and we have a whole era to live and provide hope to others.

We are more than Capitol anythings, we are hope.

And I am the Mockingjay.


Aftermath:

Katniss became ruler of Panem along with Finnick

She got rid of the districts and provided equality to all, including housing, wealth, and food supply.

There were no wars.

Past Victors were put into a higher government of democracy while citizens were allowed to vote and give expectations and ideas to the higher governments.

President Snow was put into history books as the person he was: A dictator who was extreme enough to scare even the people who worked for him to obey him and with him gone... Hope was found.
