Katniss POV

I hear them introduce my prep team, and then I hear the screams for Cinna the man who made "the Girl on fire". Effie is called up, then Haymitch I smile when I see him since all of a sudden he is now looks like he is drunk. As he said, we all have our Capitol masks that we need to present. Next thing I know I hear Katniss Everdeen "The Girl on Fire". I walk out to the stage I am overwhelmed with the crowd screaming. I see myself on the large screen and it's the first time I noticed that the train on my dress is looks like it is on fire.

Caesar: Are we glad to see you again. "The Girl on Fire"

He directs me to my chair I go over and sit down. I go back to the day Effie was prepping me for my first interview showing me how to sit properly, how to cross my legs and where I should but my dress. I instantly follow everything she said. "Hold your dress, lower slowly, does not step on your dress, cross your ankles; adjust your dress so it is flowing down on display"

Caesar: Are you ready to watch the recaps of the 70th Hunger Games with this year's Victor Katniss Everdeen.

The screams are so loud I can barely think. I look up at the screen as they are showing the tributes rising to the surface they keep the camera on me. The canon goes off and I am running to Marvel, then with Marvel's help, I am on top of the Cornucopia. I watch both Mason and Clove kill their first victims both were bloody and gruesome. I watch myself take aim and kill six kids all in the matter of minutes at least all of them were instant. I zone out until we are at the point where Mason is teasing the girl from seven. There are a couple of kills that I do not regret and this is one of them. For the first time I see the lust and desire in Mason's eyes. He would have tortured her. He would have made her wish she was dead but the girl had strength and refused to make a sound. I admire her for that I know how hard it was for her to stay quiet. By the time I realized I zoned out again we are watching the where I am up in the tree receiving the parachute from Gloss. They then show me talking in my sleep talking about Prim and Gloss.

I look out to the crowd until I find both Gloss and Haymitch. They are next to each other in the front row. I am glad I found them before they show the next scene. Before I know it on screen, I am up against the tree. I briefly look at Gloss and Haymitch I can tell they are both holding their breath. I wonder how hard it was for them to watch this. I watch the screen and think that you can't even tell that when he is kissing me he is stabbing me. I want to run away right now I want to curl up and hide. Even though that's what I want I know I need to keep this mask on right now so I try not express anything I watch the scene play out in front of me. I don't need to watch it to relive this moment. Every time I go to sleep this plays out in my mind. What surprise me is that you can barely tell what he really did to me. It looks so far from what really happened. It's not until I kill him that you can see the extent of my injuries. I watch as Rue finds me and treats my injuries. I notice that they sent Rue food for her help. She should not have died in that arena. I hate watching these people watch and cheer. I took twelve lives they will never become an adult, they will never get married, they will never have children, nor will they grow old. I never wanted to fall in love, or get married or have children. The reason is due to the world we live in. This world that makes parents sends their children to their deaths. I already broke one of my rules I fell in love and I do not regret that for one moment. The other two I don't want to break until this world is a different place. I don't know how it's going to work long term for us but I know I would do everything for him. I snap back to the present, the recap is showing me singing to Rue, and then they skip to one of the wolves chasing Thresh into the cornucopia where Marvel was ready to fight and then I am entering from the other side. They completely took out the part of the flowers.

I watch the rest of the recap and notice that Marvel saved me the wolf that attacked him was after me. If he would not have moved me I would be the one that was dead and he would be here alive. I know it was his choice, he chose to save me but right now, I feel an overwhelming guilt. I look for Gloss and meet his eyes. I reuse to look away this time this time I need his strength. I was too wrapped up in the situation to release in the end he really did give his life for me. The guilt at the moment is eating me. I want this to be over. I don't want to do this interview that is coming up. I am starring at the screen but I am not watching I keep my face blank.

Gloss POV

The three of us sit there watching them introduce everyone. I am impressed with Haymitch how he plays his role perfectly. When Katniss comes out on stage, she is gorgeous. Cinna arranged for the train of her dress to be on fire. It looks like there is fire trailing her. I can hear a couple of men behind me making comments on what they will do to her. Cashmere takes my hand comforting me I just focus on Katniss. I know that this is one of the hardest parts of winning is watching the recaps. Sometimes I forget that I was in her same position a year ago. I did not know I would be so affected by sitting here. I start to stiffen when I notice Cashmere grabs on to my hands and rubs the back of my hands. The recaps are starting I watch Katniss' reactions to the recaps. I am sure there will be a couple of scenes that play out differently than what is in her head. I can tell Katniss is zoning out after she watches the bloodbath. I can feel Cashmere squeeze my hands tighter watching Marvel on the screen is hard. We are glad Katniss is here with us but we have not had the chance to grieve for Marvel. I watch Katniss when they are showing the scene with the Girl from District Seven. Katniss does better than I thought she would with this scene but she does zones out right afterward.

I look at Haymitch and I can tell it notices her as well. Luckily, the Capitol citizens are not paying much attention the Victor at this point in the interview since Katniss is still off in her head. She needs to snap out of it soon otherwise they will notice. We can hear the audience scream when she is hit by a fireball, cry when she is in pain, yell when they see Glimmer, and laugh when she talks in her sleep. Katniss finally snapped out of it when she receives the parachute I sent her when she was up in the tree. I still watch Katniss and I see that she looks for us in the crowd and smiles when she finds us. I don't think she will be able to watch what happens next it's still fresh in her mind. I know I don't want to watch it either. I know they may put a camera on me so I have to stay emotionless. After watching Mason attacking Katniss I was able to keep myself together since what they aired is nothing in comparison to what we the mentors saw. Watching Katniss kill Mason was harder to watch harder than any of her other kills this one was violent there was no remorse she was not herself. But then again I still think he got off too easy I know if I was able to get a hold of him he would be begging for death. He deserved a death much worse than what he got.

They did not show Katniss' mock funeral for Rue they showed her singing and then right to Thresh being chased by the wolves. I am not surprised they cut that out considering it was one of the most rebellious things she did in the arena. I try not to smirk even though they cut this it's already been shown they were not fast enough during the games to switch it. Everyone has already seen what she did it not likely they will forget her actions. I notice Katniss face go pale and she starts fumbling her hands. Oh my, she didn't know Marvel moved her to protect her. I can tell she did not know that he took attack that was meant for her. This is going to eat her apart I can read every emotion going through her right now. I want to go to her and tell her it was not her fault. I want to hold her and remind her that Marvel knew what he was doing. He would never have let her take that attack he wanted to protect her with his life. I understand the guilt she feels though I feel it to. I let my best friend someone who was like a brother to me give his life for my girlfriend. There are times when I think I should have told him to fight for his life but then I look at Katniss and I cannot regret it. I know he would have never listened to me anyway. I look at Cashmere and her eyes are glassed over she is trying to keep it together. I grab her hand and place it in both of mine trying to reassure her. I know she is still going through the motions it's been a hard few years for her. First she goes into the Games, then I go, then Marvel and Katniss.

Katniss POV-

Caesar: Wow what a show that was. You must be glad to be back

Of course. How could I not be happy to be back here in the Capitol!

Caesar: We are all waiting to hear how you came up with the ideal of standing on top of the Cornucopia.

Well Caesar I saw an advantage point that I could use.

Caesar: Out of the thirteen that died during the bloodbath, you personally killed six of them. Then we watched you then take kills from you other alliance members. Why?

That is easy I was not in the mood to play with the tributes I wanted to finish the games as soon as I could. I knew the sooner the games were over the sooner I could go home.

Caesar: And that you did. You are the Victor of the shortest Hunger Games in history. It looked like you were going to be unstoppable with your bow. Where you scared when your bow burned?

No, I was not I knew I had more weapons on me and I was confident that I could stop the remaining tributes with my other weapons. I knew they would underestimate me without the bow.

Caesar: We were all scared for you when Mason found you. What were you thinking?

You know I am not sure what my exact thoughts were. I knew I was scared myself. The only thing that was driving me was my determination to kill him. I knew I needed to reach my weapon and the rest would be history.

Caesar: It looked like some of your parachutes were special to you even when they were just food.

Your right they were because they reminded me who was waiting for me to return to them. To someone else they would be nothing not me though it was a reminder to fight harder and come back home. There they are people waiting for me and love me.

Caesar: There was so many emotional moments I cried with you when Rue dies and then again when Marvel died. I am dying to know. What was Marvel's promise?

I look at Gloss and Cashmere and they both nod to me.

Marvel had made a promise to keep me safe in the arena.

Caesar: And that he did. Who would have thought that you a small girl would have defeated someone big and strong?

I just knew when to use my advantage, which is why I prefer a long distance weapon.

Caesar: Now it is time for the official crowning of this year's victor.

I stand up as President Snow walks up to me. This is the first time I notice that it has him that smelt of blood and roses. The first time I met him I was not sure if it was him or just the hospital. Snow places the crown on my head and whispers that was workable and Ms. Abernathy good luck tomorrow night I would hate for something to happen to Prim or Gale. I will send word on who you will be meeting with in the morning. I try to keep myself together and not say anything, do anything or even change my facial features.

Caesar: Ladies and Gentleman the Victor of the 70th Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen "The Girl on Fire"
