Epilogue:
Eventually, Peeta and I became grandparents. Willow had married Noah. They currently have two kids and one on the way: Finnick Jr and Violet. Rye had married Gale's niece, Rose, recently and they were already planning on having kids. Avan became Beetee's apprentice and got a great job working with him. 

I stood in Violet's nursery rocking Violet back and forth in my arms, like when I used to lull Willow to sleep. I sang a song softly as Violet began to doze off. 

"Is this our world?I look in the mirrorI can't get over you
Is this our world?
Is it someone else?
Is it someone else?I look in the mirror
And I try to see myself
My head full of terror
From the games I played so wellI try to see clearer
I try to forget the fires I started
I try to be nearer
To where you are
To where you areAre we star-crossed lovers?
Did I really want you gone?
If I'm really a winner
Where do these demons come from?I was the girl who was on fire
I was the girl who was on fire
Only a bird could get much higher
I look in the mirror
'Cause I was the girl who was on fireI look in the mirror
And I try to understand
And piece it together
Wash the blood from both my handsI can't see the ending
There are people who know my every secret
I'm tired of pretending
You're in my heart
In my heartAre we star-crossed lovers?
Did I really want you gone?
If I'm really a winner
Where do these demons come from?I was the girl who was on fire
I was the girl who was on fire
Only a bird could get much higher
'Cause I was the girl who was on fire."

[Mirrors- Ellie Goulding]

I'm glad I fought for my happiness. I'm glad I fought for this. Maybe forgetting the fires we've started isn't what I want to do after all. I've spent my life running—running for survival, running from love, running away from myself. The fires burned away the torture and pain. I am the girl on fire, and while I've caused so much loss, I helped extinguish the suffering so we could all live in peace.
