Chapter Thirty:

Epilogue

"What do you see?"

I still have nightmares. Nightmares that can easily be explained. Why they're always about the same thing.

"I see his face. He's crying."

"Whose face?" the woman asks. I can see her from the corner of my eye, sitting up straight on the sofa, her black hair glistening. Her hand scribbles down notes in her copybook.

"Are," I reply.

"What do you see now?"

I see myself shoving him as hard as I can. I see him roll across the railway and tumble down the side of the mountain. I see his blood with every clash. Every thud. Another burst of his insides escapes into the air.

"I see his face stretched across my television. Finnick's is beside his."

It's always the same. The Mockingjay. The music box. Both their faces. The explosion. Always the same. It never goes away. Sometimes if I'm lucky, it's different. Sometimes it's him rolling over the railing and onto the train tracks. Sometimes it's the Mockingjay skewering their wing into Igneous' head. It just goes around and around until I cry it out.

But I'm still standing. Even after twelve months, I'm still breathing. I'm still alive. How do I do it? Because I see the good in everyone.

Even when the reporters camp out at my door for hours, I understand. Any sane person would have gone mad by then. But I look deep inside and see who they really are. A human. A man with a wife. Two young daughters. Trying to make money to give their children some food. Are never got that.

The fire still burns across all of Panem. And still in my dreams. Still in my dreams, he turns them into nightmares as his memories continue to haunt me. You'd think that he'd be gone by now. Maybe I'd have forgotten him by now. But no one can forget a brother like that.

Author's Note:

It's over! :((((

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Epilogue of The Rebirth Games! T'is a sad day, indeed. After several months, I shall now change the story from 'in-progress' to 'complete.' :(

It's sort of bitter sweet. But do not fret, I have more stories to tell in The Hunger Games world! It does not involve the Games, BUT it does involve a crossover into another universe. ;) I won't even give you a hint as to what it is because I want it to be as original as possible. I haven't seen a single person on this site do it yet. ;)

I'm not starting it straight away so stay tuned over the next few weeks. I refuse to currently write more than two stories. I'll go so off of schedule. xD Ironic, I already am off schedule. I should have posted this a few days ago, but... THE FIFTH WAVE! I have finished the book and I was reading it for so many hours. Now I'm moving onto the sequel. :P

I'd like to say thank you to AsgardianGrizzly for continuing to support me for a WHOLE YEAR. Yes, it has been more than a year since we first spoke! Thank you for creating the wonderful character of Danix! I hope you enjoyed him. :)

Thank you to each and every person who took their time to review! It means so much to me, especially all the super nice comments!

I hope you enjoyed the story! :D

And I have one question for you all... What has been your favorite moment of the entire story? It could be ANYTHING. A whole chapter, a specific line, a death, a character, a scene, ANYTHING! :)

Now for the last sign off..

Thank you all so much for reading, byeeeeee! :'DDDDDDDD
