"Johanna today is the day," Rosa announces, "your last stop of your tour! Aren't you sad?"

"I'm crying," I say sarcastically.

The tour was finally ending and I couldn't be happier. The final stop is in the Capitol, which is the last place I want to be.

"You will just love it. The Capitol has been preparing for your arrival. And to make it better, everyone is celebrating you."

I don't know why people need to celebrate. The only thing I did during the games was play weak just to save my own life and it worked.

I get dressed in my evening gown that Chase made for the party. My prep team styled my hair in the usual stupid hairstyle that everyone in the Capitol seems to have.

When we arrive at the Capitol we are immediately escorted to Snow's mansion. The mansion is brightly lit up and there are people gathered outside applauding as I come into their view.

I try to smile and pretend like I am enjoying myself, but deep down I'm not. Rosa walks me inside towards a buffet of food.

"Please feel free to eat as much as you like," she says showing me the food, "it's all for you."

A woman in a red dress comes up to me, must be one of the sponsors.

"Johanna, President Snow would like to have a word with you for a moment." This must be Snow's assistant.

The woman escorts me into what I am guessing is Snow's main office. I see him sitting down at his desk.

"Have a seat over here, Ms. Mason," he says in that evil voice of his.

I walk over and sit in front of his desk, "it is a privilege to meet with you sir."

Snow chuckles, "that was quite the performance during the games, Johanna."

"I am glad you liked it."

"You have many admirers who also liked it. They would be willing to pay a good price for you."

"What do you mean?"

Snow gives a small chuckle and looks right in my eyes, "I think you know what I mean."

"Are you talking about selling me? Like prostitution?"

"Yes, now if you would sign this contract saying you would agree to the-"then I interrupt him.

"No! I won't do this. I don't care who it is or how much they pay. I will not allow everyone in the Capitol to try and buy me or put me in that position."

Snow flips a screen around to face me, "since you said no I guess you have to pay the price."

It's my mother being dragged out of our house in Victors Village. A peacekeeper then throws her on the ground and pulls out his gun and shoots her in the head.

I cover my mouth to keep from shouting and cursing at Snow. He killed my mother in front of me. I now have no one left that I care about. No left that I love.

"That was all I needed from you. I guess you don't want to be like Cashmere and Finnick."

I start to walk away when President Snow's words stop me.

"Johanna."

I turn and look at him.

"If you tell anyone about this meeting you will have to pay a price."

I nod and walk out of the room. I have to stay here for at least one more hour and not tell anyone what was said.

I try and process what I was just told. Cashmere and Finnick sleep with sponsors and citizens of the Capitol for Snow. Maybe they are trying to protect their family too.

I go back and join the party with tears strolling down my face. Rosa notices that I am crying and comes up ask what is wrong.

"Did something go wrong with Snow?" Rosa asks.

I nod my head, "no everything is alright."

A few minutes later Snow comes out and gives his speech. I glare at him with disgust and anger as he gives his speech. He notices me looking at me and gives a smile.

When the party is over we get back on the train and head home. I walk over to Blight's room and ask if I may come in.

"Is there a problem?" he asks.

I can feel tears coming out of my eyes, "yes there is. Snow killed my mother on camera when I went to talk to him."

Blight's face drops to a saddened expression, "did he have a reason?"

"It's because I wouldn't sign his contract. He wanted to sell me like Cashmere and Finnick. I told him no," I start to cry, "And then he killed my mom. It is my fault she's dead. Snow made me promise not to tell anyone but I can't keep this a secret."

Blight leans over and gives me a hug, "I am so sorry Johanna. You need to come to the Victors meetings with me once the 72nd games start in a few weeks."

"Victors meetings?" I snuffle.

"Every year during the games the Victors mentoring meet in the Victors Lounge to discuss things we are hearing about the Capitol. A former gamemaker is planning a rebellion and the Victors are in on it."

A rebellion? People are actually taking place in a rebellion!
"When is this rebellion? Is it soon?"

Blight laughs, "it won't be taking place till we have more information."

For the rest of the night all I could think about was war. A rebellious war against the Capitol. I dream of me standing in front of President Snow and watching him sign a peace treaty between the districts and the Capitol.

That night I also see my mother. She is standing beside me as if she was still there to see this happen. I now know that I am much more than just a Victor.

I am a rebel.
