The Capital's Star

After the storm

Finnick's POV

She won. She's coming back. I look around the room to see Johanna and Haymitch smiling widely. I must be to. When I look for her I see her being pulled out of that horrible arena. I will tell her when she's back. I think I love her.

We suddenly hear the door open to reveal 2 peacekeepers. Oh god.

" Mr Odair, the president would like to speak with you in his office." One says in a monotoned voice. I'll say it again. Oh god.

I put on my character and wear my 'Finnick smile'. " Well then, we wouldn't want to keep him waiting would we?". With that I was escorted out.

.......... Short Time Skip ..........

I entered Snows office to see him there smiling widely. I drop the facade strait away and glare at him.

" Mr Odair how nice to see you." Snow says.

" what do you want?".

" Strait to the point I see. Well I have been alerted towards you helping 12's tribute. I seem to grasp the impression that you have feelings for the capitols little star. She has been disappointing me you see. District 11 and 9 started to get abit restless because of her act with the knife. It must be stopped." He said.

I just sit listening to him speak, wondering where he's going with this.

" Anyway I need you to be a distraction, and a relationship is not on the cards. You will stay single and stay far away from Robyn or I will punish her family for your action."

I just sit thinking. I can't change this. I must obay . I just smile. " I will stay away from Robyn Star."

Snow just smiles. " good that would be all"

Robyn POV

I wake up to a throbbing headache. It takes me a second to remember what happened. I'm free. I can go home.

The door opens to reveal President snow. Well this will be good.

" Hello my dear, congratulations." He says.

" Thanks " I mumble.

" Yes well the capitol has been bewitched by your beauty and voice and the districts seem to see you as a miracle. At the ceremony today I want you to make a little speech for me. Districts are a little unsettled by you. I want you to calm them down. Sing a song , you seem to always have one in your head, and calm everyone down. If not there will be consequences. Sadly your family is loved as well as you, but I have something in mind."

Wow what a speech. I just nod my head.

" Oh and we can get rid of those scars for you too." I look down to see my wrist have faded, but the scars are still visible.

" I'm good thanks" I say as sweetly as I can in this situation. Snow just looks at me then leaves. I sigh. Next Effie comes through and hugs me.

" I'm so happy you survived honey. I know your tired but we need to get you ready for a show." She says sounding actually genuine. I smile at her then go get ready.

......... Time Skip .........

I'm ready to go on. I've talked to everyone apart from Finnick. I've seen him but he's looked away every time. Even Johanna came to talk to me. It was nice. As I'm thinking I don't notice that I'm being pushed on stage until I hear ALOT of screaming. Oh god.

I smile and move to the centre of the stage where Snow was waiting for me. I smile as he places a gold crown with a star in the centre on my head. He smiles down at me and leads to a podium speak. I still don't know what I should do. Be myself. Or his puppet.

I speak about my win and watch my 'best bits'. I see it again. All the people that I killed or couldn't save. I know which song I will sing. After the clips ended I look out to the crowed and smile.

" I have been singing through out my time in the arena and the president wants me to sing for you guys." I hear a scream from everyone as I get ready to start a rebellion. I want to change this world. Even if I die in the process.

This is gospel for the fallen ones

Locked away in permanent slumber

Assembling their philosophies

From pieces of broken memories

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [2x]

Their gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds

But they havent seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

Cause these words are knives and often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [2x]

This is gospel for the vagabonds,

Ne'er-do-wells and insufferable bastards

Confessing their apostasies

Led away by imperfect impostors

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [2x]

Dont try to sleep through the end of the world

And bury me alive

'Cause I wont give up without a fight

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

Cause these words are knives and often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told, I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear, the fear of falling apart

[4x]

(Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart
