I wake up in a white room.
I look down at my body seeing all of my scars are gone, but all the blood is still there.

Memory's start to flood my head but I snap out of it when I hear a door open.
I look up to see Roman and London standing there
I jump out of bed and tackle Roman in a hug

"Roman- the blood- the memory's. I can't-" I start to cry
"Shh shh it's ok I know, I understand" he mumbles as he rubs my back
"You're ok now. You're ok" he tells me
As soon as I calm down enough I pull apart and London gives me a hug

"Oh Evelyn I'm so happy you're alive" she smiles
"You sure caused a ruckus out here in the districts and the Capitol" Roman tells me
"What do you mean?" I ask him
"The rebellion Evelyn. You've created a spark" she tells me
I let a smile make its way onto my face but it quickly fades
I look up at them tears in my eyes
"My uh- my parents. Are they really gone?" I ask them
They look at each other before sighing
"We did everything we could to stop it" he tells me
I just nod trying to keep tears from falling.
"Was I the only one?" I ask them
"Snow thought it would slow you down. Make you gullible. Thankfully you proved him wrong" Roman smiles



After a while I sit on the bed again with Roman and London by my side
The peacekeepers open the door and bring in two people.
I look at them closely as I get out of bed
And that's when I see the resemblance.

I walk over to them tears forming in my eyes again
"I'm so sorry. I tried. I tried so hard but I didn't  do enough" I tell them
"Oh sweetie" the woman says and pulls me into a hug. The man joining soon after

After we pull apart the woman speaks up
"You were Camilla's best friend. She talked about you nonstop everyday." She tells me and I let a small smile form on my face
"Thank you Evelyn. Thank you for trying to keep her safe. She would be proud of you" the woman tells me
"Thank you" I breath out
"You carry on for her ok?" The man tells me
"I will" I nod my head as the peacekeepers come in and grab them.

I let a few tears fall as I look down.
I turn back to Roman and London
"Can I see Flynn?" I ask them
"You will see him shortly. But right now it's time to get ready" London tells me
"For what?" I ask her
"The crowning. President Snow will crown both you and Flynn. You will each get interviewed by Caesar, then there will be a party in the capitol that you have to join" she tells me
I just let out a sigh knowing I can't stop what's coming
"But first. You must shower" she tells me as I walk by her side to the bathroom
"Wash away the memory's" she whispers in my ear and I knew she was talking about the blood.

I get in the shower as I let the water run over me.
I watch as the blood flows off of me washing away

Camilla's blood
The blood of the 10 tributes I killed
My own blood

I finally get out of the shower and change into some normal clothes as London does my makeup

"I won't do a lot, but we're going to make a statement again. Are you ok if I use red?" she asks me
I think for a second as the images of blood flood my mind
'Pull it together this last time Eve' I tell myself
"Yeah" I nod
"Ok" she smiles at me before starting
