Peetas POV

"The Capitol has Katniss." Haymitch reveals to us on board the hovercraft.

I break down. I know they will kill her, she's a threat to them. She always has been. She's strong and she's not fearful of them like most, they want to take her down.

"They'll kill her. How could we let this happen?!"

"I didn't think they'd take her, she's the Capitols favourite girl at the moment. I didn't think they'd risk it" Haymitch answers me swiftly, trying to cover the fact that we may all be responsible for her death.

Suddenly in the corner of the room I notice Finnick is sat on the floor with is head in his hands, "What the hells wrong with you? This was partly your fault!" I shout to him.

"Don't you think I know that? I should of stopped them, they should of taken me" he says, still not taking his head out of his sweaty palms.

"Because they don't want you. They want her, they want to kill her"

At this point Joanna ran in, I hadn't seen her since the games.

"No they won't kill her, I have news. Snow is dead." She announces, a big smile swept over everyone's faces. We all started hugging each other, the Capitol would lose control and the hunger games would stop. The suffering was finally over.

"Not so fast," she continued, "Snow may be dead, but he has a replacement. His grandson." All of our hearts sunk, surely Snow's grandson would be just as awful as Snow himself.

"But he wants change. He's not like Snow at all." Joanna carried on.

A few moments silence continued as we think about the future.

"Well then we must meet him." Haymitch announced. And our hovercraft carried on towards the Capitol, we would get Katniss back and meet this new President. _

I placed the tight red velvet dress on that had been left on the bed. I had be informed of Snow's death but no real details. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, for all I know his replacement could be just as bad or even worse. I mean he was related to Snow, he couldn't exactly be a bundle of hope and light. None the less I want to meet him, discuss the future for the districts. Most of all discuss the future for district 12, where poverty and suffering had become the norm. I don't want Prim to grow up in a place like that, like I did. She deserved better, everyone did. There was more than enough food for everyone in the Capitol, why couldn't it be shared?

I let my long brown hair fall down in loose curls, applied a little makeup and placed some black heels on my blistered feet. I was used to wearing tight boots at home and in the games, they were best for hunting. I only ever wear heels in the Capitol, and I suppose this occasion deserved it. I missed having Cinna around to tell me what to wear, and I wondered if I'd ever see him again. Or if i'd ever see Peeta again, or my mother and Prim? I even wondered if I'd see Haymitch or Joanna? I even wanted to see Finnick again.

It was just about 8pm, I headed up in the elevator to the top floor where I would meet the new president for dinner. The elevator zoomed up the floors quickly until I reached the very top floor. As the elevator door opened I could see the room was empty, except for one man over by the window looking out over the city. I stepped out of the elevator to get a closer look at him. I noticed his long blonde hair, and muscular figure. He was wearing a tight suit and looked incredibly handsome, even from behind. I walked a little closer to him, and then stood analysing every detail I could of him. At that point he turned around, and that's when I realised how truly handsome he was. His face was perfectly sculpted, with a perfect jaw line and cheek bones. He flashed me a big smile, god he is gorgeous. His piercing blue eyes unnerve me, they were exactly the same as Snows, but his were more gentle and kind.

"Hello Katniss, its lovely to finally meet you. Your wearing the dress I picked out for you, you look amazing," his voice was smooth and silky.

"It's a beautiful dress, thank you sir," i replied anxiously.

"Please, call me Isaac," he said as he flashed a smile at me, and walked closer towards me and didn't stop until our lips were nearly touching. I was frozen, I didn't move, his eyes held me in a trance.

"Isaac I-" I began, but he interrupted me.

"-I'm honestly so pleased to meet you, I have some great ideas for the districts and how to make things better, I thought we could work together... I know you and my grandfather didn't have the best relationship, I'm sorry about that, but I promise you I'm nothing like him. I just want to get to know you Katniss." His smooth voice left me breathless, he was so beautiful. He made me feel so intimidated.

He grabbed my hand and his touch sent shivers down my spine, he stoked my palm with his fingers.

"Please Katniss," he begged.

"Of course I'll help you" I reply. I'm a little lost in his eyes.

Just then the elevator doors flung open and caught us in the middle of a moment. To anyone else this would of looked like a lot more than it actually was. It was Peeta, Haymitch, Finnick and Joanna. My heart felt like it was soaring and sinking at the same time, I was so happy to see them all but at the same time I didn't want our first encounter together again to be as awkward as this was.

"Katniss what are you doing? Who is that?" Peeta said, he looked confused and angry.

"Hello, I'm glad you could all make it. I'm Isaac. Isaac Snow." They all silently gasped, and questions of what they had just interrupted between us were still in their minds.

But I couldn't stop myself anymore, I ran over to them and pulled them all in to a hug.

"It's over," I whispered to them "the suffering in the districts is over."
