Effie sits in the corner, head against the wall. If she were her younger self, she would have been in tears. This is grown up Effie though. She knew that was coming, just not so soon. He visits her everyday requesting information she doesn't know. Yet despite the fact that she knows nothing, she just doesn't speak. She doesn't scream when they order the guards in to rough her up. A part of feels lost, something that can never be mended.

"When you do plan on speak, ?" Snow asks.

Silence.

"This can be a lot easier if you would just talk," Snow says.

"Not like I know anything. This whole thing is useless," Effie says.

"Not entirely...Abernathy will come looking for you and we'll capture him. We'll use him against...you know boys don't like it when there toys are played with," Snow tell her. She looks up at him, and is met with a cruel smirk.

"Then we can both agree on how stupid he was to come and save me," Effie says her eyes retreating to her favorite spot on the floor.

"You know you're a special one ," Snow comments.

"Please tell me more," Effie says sarcastically.

"Well if you must know, we have no birth records of you. I tried to find everything I could, but there was nothing. Only the fact you were adopted, but nothing of your birth parents. Hospitals always keep information on that, unless the child wasn't born within one of the twelve districts," He says.

"So what you're saying I'm part of Thirteen? Maybe those rose fumes are going to your head," Effie laughs.

"That can only be correct, the Capitol knows everything about anything...except you. That's why you are so special.

Effie lifts her head, and stands up. She walks toward the light, and stand in front of him.

"I don't care what you're men tell you. I know my upbringing. I was born here, and there is nothing you can say that will change my mind," Effie says.

Snow pauses. His eyes take in Effie, and a something pits in his stomach. It's the eyes he notices the most, enticing just like Alma's. Then it's they way her nose slightly turns up at the end. He stands up, and walks around her. Everything about her screams of her mother. He leaves her in the cell without a second glance. It's only when he asks for a DNA test is when he starts to worry. Snow paces his room thinking of how he could have been so blind. How Alma left without saying goodbye. The way she became distant when he tried to touch her. Snow slams his fist against the table sending a vase of roses to the floor. The woman who he truly loved will become his downfall.

A change of heart. President Snow has had a change of heart. Effie sits in her room within the mansion. Without giving a reason to anyone, Snow had Effie moved up. She stays in a secluded part of the mansion. Effie questions him, but he doesn't say anything. It's like he doesn't want to answer her questions. Despite the fact that she's his daughter, Effie's room is guarded 24/7. The only difference from being in the bunker is that she has a comfortable bed. Even in the bunker she had clean clothes, a shower, and food delivered. She no longer heard screams at night either, but sometimes she swore she could hear Peeta's voice.

The next morning, Effie is greeted by an envelope on her bed She tears the seal, and carefully removes the letter.

Effie Trinket is, by paternity test, confirmed daughter of President Snow.

Mother: Alma Coin, rebel leader

These records will be kept within the hidden vaults of the Capitol hospital.

Effie nearly cried when she read the letter. The blood running through her veins disgusts her. Especially the father, she has a murderer for a father. She shreds the letter into the tiny pieces, and throws them out. She stays in bed thinking about how this could be possible. It dawned on her that this was the reason in Snow's change of heart.
