Esme's POV
Our journey from the arena back to the capitol was silent. Farren tried to make small talk but we didn't talk at all. We stayed looking at our hands, blood from innocent lives. Why did we do it? We could have spared them. How are we still breathing?
We arrived at the capitol with our new adoring fans awaiting for us. Loud cheers we're muffled.
"Come on! Smiles!" - Farren
The doors opened waves upon waves of people cheered for us. For killing them...how can they call that...this entertainment. Me and haymitch put a brave face on and smile and wave towards everyone and to the camera. Roses of all colours thrown to our feet.
Time Skip to Crowning
It had only been 5 hours since the games finished and yet we had to attended a ceremony; the crowning. Where we become the victors of the 50th hunger games. Only a few words were spoken from the both of us.
Octivus paired us in fantasy gowns and suits. I was dressed in a light peach and rose gold dress that had golden flakes with a sheer upper half. Haymitch was dressed in a formal all black suit with silver decor.
Me and haymitch were sitting just behind President Snow as he was presenting his speech. I felt something take hold of my hand I look to see it's haymitch's hand. Even with the simplest touches and heathers, could make me burst into tears.
Snow turns to us and is passed haymitch's crown. It was golden with black diamond around the crown. It matched perfectly with his outfit. He bows his head as snow places his crown upon his golden hair.
President Snow is passed my crown and takes a longingly look at me. I bend my head as my crown is placed into my head. My crown was again gold and was designed to look like vines and sunflowers.
"You both did acceptionelly well in the games. If we have learnt anything, it's that true...pure love conquers all." - Snow
He stands to the side as me and haymitch stand up and accents upon the podium as cameras flash and cheers were herd. I said I would win for Abigail and Daniel, but I didn't know the cost.
