The second visit I received from President Snow was an event that was hard to forget. It haunted my nightmares every night that followed.

It happened on a Thursday afternoon. It was a chilly November day and I was returning to my mansion in the Victor's Village after a long hike from my mom's house in the Seam. As my house came into view, I noticed two burly Peacekeepers stood guard at the front entrance. I knew this could only mean trouble.

By the time I arrived at the house, I was a little worried, but I tried not to let it show. I took a deep breath and opened the gate.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold and made just one step towards the house, one of the colossal Peacekeepers standing at the door announced my name and began barking orders at me. "Katniss Everdeen. President Coriolanus Snow requests your presence. You must confirm that you have no weapons of assault on your person or in your possession at this time. Only then you will be authorized to move further onto the premises."

President Snow. I felt my insides freeze over and my eyebrows automatically stitch up in fury. I carefully walked down the rest of the path until I reached the door where the Peacekeepers stood dauntingly with their guns drawn out at their sides.

"No weapons," I said plainly, holding my arms out as proof. I stood at the entrance waiting to gain access into my home.

The Peacekeepers shifted a step on either side, leaving just enough room for me to wedge my way towards the door. I noticed the door was slightly ajar so I gave it a light shove and it groaned as it gave way. My stomach twirled as the stench of roses and blood reached my nose. I observed there was another guard stationed at the end of the hall near the entrance of the living room. That must be where President Snow was. I took several nervous steps in his direction, trying not to faint as the foul smell grew in its intensity.

I felt the Peacekeeper's watchful gaze on me as I took a right, turning into the living room. I gulped down the fear swelling in my throat as I took in the view before me.
