Rue's Final Thoughts

My Family….Katniss…..she's singing me to sleep

I'm cuddled softly in her arms… she's comforting me

My Family will miss me….. I feel sad about leaving them

Wait? Why is Katniss's voice fading? No, it's me

I'm going to heaven… I hope its heaven

I'm not dying...

I'm being sung into a long and beautiful sleep.

I will miss my home and District 11.

My parents and the singing mockingjays

But I will remember Katniss Everdeen, my friend

Where is the voice? It's gone...no I'm gone,

into that wonderful, long, sleep.

I smell flowers and hear crying...

Katniss,my friend, is crying for me.

I will miss you, Katniss Everdeen.
