Voices are shouting my name, but I can hardly hear them as I stare at the carnage around me. I'm not sure how long I sat there and stared, but when I do come to I'm waiving my hands to move forward.

Chaos, that's the only word I can use to describe what happened next. There's no more fighting, only trying to save as many people as possible. More medics, Capitol and rebel alike, surge into the square to treat the living.

Somewhere in the pandemonium, the rebels find Katniss and Peeta alive. Paylor and Luca's squads ignored their instincts to stay and help and instead ran for the president's mansion capturing Snow. Those left from their squads will be Snow's guards for the remainder of his short life.

In the morning President Coin arrives along with reinforcements. We let the new soldiers take over separating the wounded from the dead. At command, the video of the explosions is played over and over to identify which rebel medics were killed in the blast. Primrose Everdeen is one of them.

My Father and Blane are here in the Capitol. Coin gave them the morning to grieve for Vixen but ever since lunch they've been trapped in meetings. Trial dates are set for Snow's inner circle and I know that Father and Blane are witnesses for a few, but on the war tribunal for the rest.

When Rotor and my squads are ordered to rest, my brother and I decide to go for a walk. We check on our sons in the made up medical tents. Elian's hands got burned as he put out the flames on a young woman his age. Chance has gone back into the same stupor as the day Vixen was captured. The fire that kept him going, extinguished when it was reported that Thora was found dead in prison. There are a few more bodies in prison that are left to be identified and one of them is possibly Vixen. The face is too scared to know for sure and Aron left an hour ago to verify if it's her.

Our wandering around brings us to the homes of the elite. Many of the refugees are penned up in these homes and in the training center, but will soon be heading back to their homes. After asking around a bit, we find Messalina Galba's home. Marcus and she were arrested in Snow's office and are now at an undisclosed location awaiting trial.

Her private residence is about as grand as Mother said with only the president's mansion more impressive. The rebels guarding the door nod and let us pass. Some of the refugees look at us startled, but make no move to come near.

There is a portrait of every victor that won the Hunger Games in the hallways upstairs. After looking at all of them once we go back to look at the one of our Mother. Her smile suggests that she knows something you don't know and she's not telling. Finch had that smile.

Rotor and I cross our right arms over our chests. Our fists touch the spot over our hearts. She sacrificed so much for this rebellion and she doesn't get to see what happens. As we turn to leave a patrol walks up. The carpets are so soft we didn't hear them coming.

"Your district's Victor?" one asks.

"Yes," I answer.

The other one looks at the portrait, "Wonder what side she was on."

"Rebel," Rotor and I say in unison. The two of us start laughing. The soldiers stare at us for a moment so I explain. "Our Mother was one the victors responsible for establishing the rebellion in the Capitol."

"Your mother?" one says.

"Then she would be very proud of you," says the other. "Please excuse us we must finish our patrol."

"So, you want to check out Rook's place next?" I ask when we leave the manor.

"Sure. Maybe another tour will finally make me tired."

As we walk I think about everything our family went through to get to this point. All the losses we've sustained over the years. My Mother lost her parents one at a time, Uncle Boron dying in the arena, Grandpa Jay, Mother, Grandpa Elian, Clea, Finch, Drite, Alara, Res, and now Vixen.

My attention snaps to Rotor when he gasps. I'm worried that his wounds are hurting him again, but before I can ask him he's running for the gates. My eyes follow him and I see a young woman wandering around lost to some unseen world.

Rotor shouts his daughter's name and the girl turns searching for where the sound came from. When her eyes lock on him she can scarcely believe what she sees and I'm the same. So many people are dead from this war and it almost seems impossible. But there she is in the arms of her father neither looking like they'll ever let go. She buries her face in his chest and sobs uncontrollably and Rotor cries as well.

"Oh my baby," Rotor says kissing her on her forehead.

"Vixen," I breath out. It's her, it's really her! Laughing I wrap my arms around her from behind.

How long we stay there, I don't know. But we eventually we split apart and walk together back to the medical tent along with the two Avoxes Vixen insisted come with us. Elian literally leaps out of his cot when he sees her and picks her up awkwardly and swings her around. Vixen wraps her arms around Chance and it takes him a moment to realize she's really here.

Still in shock I pull out the Holo and find her name among the dead. "Commander Boron Welkin, authorizing status update on Solider Vixen Welkin Squad 525. Confirmed: Alive."
