Tris POV:

Cinna, Flavia and Octavia are helping me to get ready for Snow's assassination. Octavia does my hair, Flavia does my makeup and Cinna adjusts my costume. I feel ridiculous but it doesn't matter now. Effie comes in and escorts us to the tribute circle where I first showed the Capitol who I was. I still have the pill of nighlock Belle gave me. My plan us going to need me to use it. We walk into the crowd which parts for me. Snow is handcuffed to a pillar in the middle of the grounds. "Panen, welcome to the day our lives will change forever. Snow Queen, let your aim be as true as your heart." Coin says. The crowd falls completely silent, you could hear a pin drop. I prepare my arrow and aim it at Snow, but I don't shoot. I aim my arrow higher and let it go. I hit Coin right in the middle of her chest. She drops to the floor dead and the crowd surges past me gathering around the former president. Two arms grab around me, hauling me away. I slip out the pill of nighlock and raise it to my lips. The bodies hauling me away stop as Four approaches me. He looks disgusted as he takes the pill away from me. He leans close and whispers, "You're an idiot Tris, but I love you." The two bodies start pulling me away again. The crowd around Snow has thickened so I know he is dying a slow and painful death. Good. It's what he deserves.

The two bodies throw me into a cell and take away my bow and arrow, like I'd be able to do any damage in here. Two more people comes to take guard of my cell. The crowd goes wild with cheering and screaming, I can only assume that it means Snow is dead. I'm glad, it's what he deserved.
