CH 15: Back To The Capital

I must have passed out because I'm back in my bed at the tribute center and all my deepest cuts look like they never existed.

Tonight, Augie will go through my best moments in the games and then I will be crowned victor by president snow.

Raina comes in with braten and Haradale.

"Wonderful Job, Amber" Raina says. "I knew you could do it!" Haradale says with a hug. "Not bad kid" Braten says and I nod to acknowledge him. "What now?" I ask.

"Well I need to dress you first" Ludar says quietly as he slips through the door. I hug him and he embraces me as well.

The others leave and Ludar dresses me in a lovely sparkling white dress. Ludar puts my hair flowing down my back in waves.

I open the door and I'm hugged, applauded and kissed by my prep team, Haradale, Braten, and Raina.

We go to a capital train in the training center that leads to the auditorium that the Interviews were held in.

I put on a smile and walk on to the stage. I'm greeted by cheering and applauding from the capital citizens as Augue Greets me.

"So Amber, tell us. How are you?". "I'm great!" I lie, I was always particularly good at it. "And any plans on your hobbie, now that your a victor." "Well, I was thinking of edible plant collection, you know like a record book. "Interesting, isn't it folks!". The crowd is going wild blowing kisses at me and reaching their arms at me.

Augie then begins again, "Now Amber, it's time to watch your best moments!"

The huge screen behind us begins playing. The first seen is when I kill the boy from 3. I hate watching this. But I sit there watching like I'm supposed to. Then after shots of me running and finding Valina, and getting food and is killing the boy from 4 and the girl from 4. These really ate Valinas best moments. While everyone is mesmerized I wipe a tear from my eye. It then shows how I run from Valina and I see how she died. She gets up from behind the hill and shoots an arrow into the boy from 2 right in the left side of the cheats, making his death slow and painful. Shimer rushes at her and Valina shoots an arrow flying into her arm. It's to late though and the. Shimer sends a knife into Valinas throat.

I almost puke at the sight of it. I don't think any body saw me wipe away my tears as they don't want to miss their show. The next shot is me killing the girl from 12 and then it shows the entire fight between me and Shimer and then it shows me bashing her head. The program ends with the seal appearing and the anthem playing signaling for everyone to stand up. Augue congratulates me and I wave good bye to the capitalites. I'm transported to the front of President Snows Mansion.

I sit on the victor thrown on the right of the president. He steps up and gives his speech about the dark days and why we have to never repeat them so the hunger games were made.

After he finishes he signals me to stand and he crowns me and shakes my hand to congratulate me. I thank him and I am taken to the train station and board a train heading for District 5. Finally, I'm going home.

A/N: Stay tuned for I'm in progress of making the victory tour.
