EPILOGUE

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Evelyn gasped loudly as her eyes shot open suddenly. her chest began to rise and fall much more rapidly until Finnick rushed to her side. His hand immediately enveloped her own. She whimpered as she tried to move, pain shooting through her body and she was restricted by something holding her down.

He shushed her quietly, "Don't try to get up."

She nodded her head weakly before swallowing slightly, "Where are we?"

He looked around them before he stared deeply at her hazel eyes, he rubbed her knuckles soothingly with his thumb, "District 13."

Her eyes widened with difficulty before they rolled back, "13?"

"District 13 exists, it always has. They were the ones who got us out with the help of Heavensbee and Haymitch. After the Games, all hell broke loose. There were riots in the Districts, outrage in the Capitol and no one was safe."

His answer only seemed to ignite panic within her, but he weakly shook his head. "Where are they, Finnick? Where is my family?"

The man seemed to pause his train of thought as he looked down to the woman he loved, how did someone even tell the love of their life that their family had been killed? 

"The rebels only managed to get Jaime and Aeliana out before the bomb hit. They are both here. They haven't let me see them yet, they've kept me in the infirmary with you so that I could be one to tell you," he informed slowly. Difficult didn't even begin to cover how impossible it was to watch Evelyn comprehend the news.

She raised a hand to her face and covered her eyes as she sobbed loudly, the tears falling from her eyes with no delay at all. She stayed like that for hours, mourning the loss of her family with him at her side. She didn't get to say goodbye to them, not once. They had died because of her, if she had just followed the rules then none of this would have happened.

But that is what she needed, the fuel to her fire.

Now more than ever she needed it because now she wasn't going to stop. Not until the Capitol had fallen and she had plunged her sword into Snow's chest. It could only end once he had died and not a second sooner. 

Evelyn Miracle had made it her own personal mission and she wasn't going to stop.

She might have been a pawn of the Capitol for years, but now she was the knight.
