Kaylaya POV


As soon as we walked in the small room with the round table I had an unnerving bad feeling about the kind of retributions we're going to decide here for the Snow's.


" Please sit." Coin instructs taking her seat at the head of the table, a smile on her face and hands folded as she watches all of us almost gleefully it makes me want to throw and damn dagger in her face. Her comments about how Zane, Finnick and the others died still turning in my gut.


" What a speech..." Johanna chides " Really got that crowd goin' huh?" I couldn't help but openly roll my eyes at her, " You really know how to stir the pot huh?" I question back which she gives one of her smirks back to.


" Relent..." Enobaria adds from the side of me making me look down at the table in annoyance as everyone sits.


" It's good to have you all back." Coin greets trying to sound as genuine but I know it's pure BS. She could care less if we lived or died. " I'm glad because of all of you we have successfully took the Capitol."


" At what cost?" Evie jumps in eyeing her, " I can smell the decaying bodies... What happened was a pure and utter mass bloodbath."


Coin's smile falters just a little as she nods, " With war comes casualties... The Captiol tried their hardest to stay strong... I'm sorry to hear about your losses.. And I apologize for not looking fo ryou all... But we cannot send troops to find people we thought were dead..." She clears her throat. " But that's why we're here isn't it? To pay back for those losses?"


I held in a scoff knowing there is nothing on this earth that will pay for Zane's life. Nor macy's or Finnicks.... nothing...


Coin looks between all of us, " As some of you maybe don't know but we did hold a meeting prior to these trials, victors and anyone that felt the wrath of the Capitol got to nominate themselves to help create punishment for our President and his progeny. We're here to discuss what those might be... Who wants to pitch first?"


" I thought... We all needed to watch ones we loved suffer... So.. I thought the President could see peope he loved suffer as well." Beetee answered. " I thought that would suffice and make things fair. To put him in our shoes."


" I could agree to that." Evangeline adds.


It took no time for all of us to at least agree on that, " Alright... and I know some of you have thought of things correct?" Coin asks " Who wants to go first?"


Gale makes a quick motion, " They like mutts.. how about we create own own or use some they have here and use those on them? Make snow watch those lizards down in the tunnels eat his grandkids alive? Or the dead tributes from Katniss and Cato's games? Those wolves will hold it out longer."


Cato shifts in his seat glancing at Gale, I could see the flashback in his eyes remembering how he almost died from them, how he was close to ripping apart. " I say give them a few." Enobaria adds. " Jabberjays at night, send one on him every few hours or days enough to damage?"
