A/N: So now we're going back to THG, pg. 351-352; reuniting Katniss with Effie, Haymitch and Cinna.


Effie Trinket

"Peeta!" A shout echoes down the hall.

It's her!

"Katniss!" I call back excitedly.

When she finally sees us, she takes off running. Surprisingly, she launches straight for Haymitch first. He hugs her back, whispering "Nice job, sweetheart," which lacks the sarcasm he normally uses.

I, myself, am truly quite teary at seeing her. I pat her glossy hair, which offers reassurance that she actually made it.

"Oh, Katniss, I'm so proud of you! I kept telling everyone you were pearls that could do anything! Anything at all!" I say, sniffling.

Anything is possible for a victor, after all.
