(Cato's POV)

I scramble onto the Cornucopia roof, where Katniss and Peeta have taken refuge from the mutts. I seize Peeta and start to slowly strangle him. Katniss rapidly loads her bow and arrow and aims it at my head.

"Go on," I say. "Shoot. I'm dead anyway." I think of Clove.

"I always wanted to win," I say, trying to choke back tears. "I didn't know it until now. I can still do this."

She releases the arrow and it hits my hand. I leap back in pain and fall into the clutches of the mutts. They tear my limbs apart, and I see Katniss shoot her arrow into my head. Thank you Katniss...thank you for ending it quickly...

Epilouge
I wake up in a meadow, surrounded by trees with rays of sunlight bursting through the branches. I find my way through a bush, and there is a circle surrounded by trees. Standing in the middle, is the only girl I've ever loved, the only one I've ever had real faith in. It is Clove. We run into each other's arms, and I spin her around. The way I see it, I haven't won the Hunger Games. But I've won Clove's heart. And that's all that matters to me.
