by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

Cinderella has a twin sister named Ariana Tremaine. Ariana grows up first as Jenna Mason, loses memory, then as Nightlock and Rue's older sister, volunteering and winning the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games along with Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen, and Thresh—joins the rebellion and eventually loses her entire family. Will Ella ever get close to her twin or will Ariana keep Ella out?

21. The Propos

After we settled in, Ella picked up a tape labeled "Once And For All" and asked, "What's this?"

I glanced at the tape and shrugged. So we watched the tape.

I stared as I entered, flanked by Gale and Katniss. I paused the tape abruptly and whispered, "This is a propos from the Second Rebellion. I directed, choreographed, and wrote the whole thing—it's all the rebels calling on Panem to reject then President Coriolanus Snow—we aired it right before the Battle of the Capitol."

She nodded and then we resumed watching the propos.

"There's change coming once and for all. You makes the front page and, man, you is major news. Tomorrow, they'll see what we are and, sure as a star, we ain't come this far…to lose! Here they come! This is the story we needed to write as we're kept out of sight, but no more. In a few hours, by dawn's early light, we'll be ready to fight us a war. This time, we're in it to stay! Talk about seizing the day! Write it in ink or in blood—it's the same either way! They're gonna damn well pay! See ole Coriolanus snug in his bed—he don't care we're dead or alive. Three satin pillows are under his head, while we'se beggin' for bread to survive. Snow, you can stop countin' sheep. We're gonna sing ya to sleep. You got your thugs, with their sticks and their slugs, yeah, but we got a promise to keep! Once and for all, if they don't mind their manners, we'll bleed 'em! Bleed 'em! Once and for all, we won't carry no banners that don't spell 'FREEDOM!' Finally, we'se raisin' the stakes, this time whatever it takes, this time the union awakes for once and for all! Come on boys! Yeah! Let's get 'em! This is for kids shinin' shoes in the streets with no shoes on their feet! This is for guys sweatin' blood in the shops while their bosses and cops look away! I'm seein' kids standin' tall, glarin' and rarin' to brawl—armies of guys who are sick of the lies, gettin' ready to rise to the call! Once and for all, there'll be blood on the walls if they doubt us! They think they're running this town, but this town'll shut down without us! Ten thousand kids in the square! Ten thousand kids in the square! Ten thousand fists in the air! Ten thousand fists! Snow, you is gonna play fair—once and for all! Once and for all! Once and for all! Once and for all! Once and for all! Once and for all! There's change coming once and for all! You're getting too old, too weak, to keep holding on! A new world is gunning for you and, Snow, we is too—till once and for all, you're gone! Once and for all! Once and for all! Once and for all! Once and for all!"

Ella stared at me and I grinned innocently at her.
