Katniss kept her part of the bargain

Katniss kept her part of the bargain. And whilst Bex was sitting in an armchair of the old Presidential Room, a room she had been in so many times, the office of President Snow. The door opened and two people were pushed inside.

Bex stood up and turned to face the two people, Snow and her demon...the man who broke her brain. Festus Vickers, a man from old Capitol Money, "Have a seat, we have a lot to talk about."

The pair both did as they were told as Bex walked over to the drinks table and poured herself a drink, "You know I killed a woman thinking she was you." Bex said directed over to Festus, "And all she did was try to help me. I grabbed her hair and I bashed it into the ground over and over again because I thought she was you, I saw you. You made me do that, her blood is on your hands. Every person I have ever hurt because of what did to me, their blood is on your hands." 

He had no words, just the stare that used to haunt her, that was until he spoke, "I should've killed you when I had the chance." 

"Oh I know you should have...I used to be so scared of you. But now I know, you took me down. You took me so far down that I didn't know who I was. But you didn't finish me."

In one movement she threw the lemon cutter from the table and straight into Festus's heart where he collapsed right there. Bex downed her drink before looking at Snow, "Now you."

Snow just sat down with that calm look on her face that she hated, he looked he had her all figured out, like he was in no danger at all, "You think you can kill me, Rebecca?"

Bex's whole face changed at that name, "Don't call me that. You destroyed me. Took my body, my brain...my dad...my mom, who does that to a child? Who changes the memories of their mother?"

"Do you remember your mother? Oh yes...you remember what I made you remember."

Bex wouldn't lose her cool, not with him, not again, she knew what she was going to do and she knew what she was going to say, "I remember her through my brother, through what he told me...I had another, one you didn't touch. My Nana took him...Lucy-Gray, I believe you know her." At that name, he stiffened, "I gave her the offer to come in and talk to you, but she didn't want to. Said she had nothing to say to you. Rhys however..."

The door opened and Rhys walked into the room, he looked at the dead body on the ground before looking at Bex, "What?"

"Absolutely nothing, Birdy...Coriolanus."

"Rhys."

Rhys walked towards the desk and leaned forward to get closer to his brother, "I have nothing to say to you but I just wanted to look in your eyes and tell you...I hate you for what you've done, I hate you for what you did to Tig, for what you did to Sejanus and for what you did to my real brother...his name was William Dreesen."

With that, he turned and walked towards the door, but before he could he stopped and turned back, "This is the sound of snow falling...Bex, do whatever you please."

"Oh, I will."

The second the door slammed Bex picked up her gun and pointed it at him, "Guns aren't my weapon, but it'll do."

Snow just smirked, "You can't kill me, Rebecca. I made you, I reprogrammed you. Did you think I would put that in you?"

Bex hands shook as she realised that she couldn't pull the trigger, she shouted in frustration as she put the gun down, "What did you do to me? What did you do?!"

"You were my first. The first person I successfully hijacked. The first that I changed to how I wanted. I wouldn't let you loose with the ability to kill me."

Bex shook her head, "No. No I can kill you, you know why? Because you killed my girl. Nash, Cecelia, my brother, my pops, my friends, everyone I lost in the arenas. All sixteen of my kids I lost in your games. I remember them all, you can't take them from me."

"Don't be so sure of yourself. You belong to the Capitol, Rebecca. You always have."

Bex held her gun back up again at his face, "I am Bex Dreesen, from District Eight. I am a Victor, a fighter...and I am not a Mutt. I am not a Capitol Mutt. I am me...and being me is better than anything you have ever been...may the odds ever be in your favour. Coriolanus." 

One shot rang out through the entire mansion.

All of the Victors, even Katniss and Peeta were all sitting together. They looked up when they heard the shot.

"She did it...she fucking did it." Johanna laughed
