I'd just like to say hello to the readers not from America! When I was looking at my story stats I thought it was crazy that people are reading something I wrote when they are half way across the world!(even though there is a few of you). And I'd really like to talk to some of you guys, think it is so cool I am connecting with people world-wide! Glad we all love the genius of Suzanne Collins!

Now back to the story….


Chapter 4


Katniss POV

I wake up dazed and confused until I remember what had happened yesterday.

Peeta. He'll never be the same.

I try to stretch in the Janitors closet but I accidently hit a broom which knocked the door open. One worker seemed to recognize me as he helped me up and took me back to my room. He wasn't wearing the White Peace Keeper outfit, but a grey uniform that reminded me of District Thirteen. So this wasn't all a dream.

In my room sits a neatly folded letter.

Dear Katniss,

I am glad to hear you are well once again. You have done a great job in your part of the rebellion and I will keep my end of the deal. In one month former President Snow's trial is expected to be over and if convicted, he shall be punished by a live execution. I am giving you the great honor of being his executer, the people would be glad that the Girl on Fire started the rebellion and ended it as well. Peeta will also be expected to make an appearance as well as the other remaining Victors.

Seeing as our new nation will be in need of a new president, I will be running to take office. Instead of a dictatorship, the people shall vote on who they want as their president. I hope to have your vote, Katniss. Until then, I will be the temporary leader and citizens will have strict schedules and diets to rebuild Panem from Snow's oppression and the war.

Your schedule will begin next week and your are expected to film more propo's to get the people excited for our new government. Oh and tonight there is a mandatory Ball to show the people how thankful we are they rebelled with us. Your gown is in your closet.

That is all for now.

President Coin

I pull out an extravagant dress from my closet but immediately notice it is not one of Cinna's designs. As I put it on, I can tell the designer did not know about my attitude and how my dress should be more comfortable than stylish.

"Well don't you look beautiful?" I turn around to see my mother with tears filling her eyes.

"Mom, don't cry, please don't cry. It's all over, we made it."

"I know Katniss, you are just so brave and I am proud of you. I am sorry I wasn't as brave as you are when your father died. Thank you Katniss, for taking care of our family when I couldn't"

I didn't know what to say back, I was never good with words, and here my mom is apologizing to me, something I wanted her to do since I was eleven. "I know you didn't mean to, it's okay, I forgive you mom..."

My mother embraced me in a hug just as Gale and Prim walked in. Right away I knew something was up. Prim seems distraught, and Gale….Gale actually looks happy. How could these two come here together and have two totally different emotions?

"Katniss…I was wondering, wouldyougototheballwithmeton giht?" Gale exhaled all in one breathe.

I started to whine… "Gale…."

"Me and Gale just thought it would be a good idea so random people wouldn't be dancing with you the whole time and he could be your excuse if you wanted to get away from someone." So, Prim was in on this plan to?

"Yeah Katnip. Plus we haven't really been able to talk with the war and the games and all."

I sat there contemplating my options. I really just didn't want to go at all, but having Gale there would comfort me since I'm sure there with be camera crews.

"Fine, I'll go with you"

"Great! We better get going now then!"

As we started walking to the ball, I let my mind wander to who else I would be meeting tonight.
