THE REBELLION HAS ENDED
THE REBELS WERE DEFEATED
AND PANEM IS CHANGING
THE REBELS WERE DEFEATED
AND PANEM IS CHANGING
[/justify]The rebellion has come to a screeching halt, the forces of the Capitol have entered District 13 and apprehended the mastermind behind the rebellion, President Coin and executed her. A very special announcement would be made to the people. An announcement that would shake the very foundations of Panem and insure that no one would ever attempt to question the authority of Snow, or his descendants.
President Snow's Address to the People
[/justify]Walking over to a pair of doors that opened up onto a balcony, he took a deap breath and pushed them open, forcing a fake smile onto his face. The roar of the Capitalites met his ears, there cheers deafening as they chanted his name. They knew who there leader was, they knew who had protected them from the insurgents. After several minutes he raised his hands to silence the crowd. "People of Panem, you have survived a terrible conflict that nearly tore apart our wonderful land. Long have I worked tirelessly to protect all the people of each district, but that was not enough for them. They sought to sieze control from me and overthrow our current government. This is how I get repayed for everything I have done for them, with thoughts of rebellion and even a tyrant leader to lead them. They elected a new ruler before I was even overthrown, President Coin they call her, so confident were they that they would succeed. Under the banner of the eledged "MockingJay", Katniss Everdeen, they sought to rally the people against me. No more though. Their rallying point was slain and the heart and soul of the rebellion taken away."
"The rebellion is over now, and you may all rest easy tonight now that you are safe. From this day forth let none question the authority of the Capitol. We are a fair people who want safety and fairness above all else, but there are those who would seek to take that away from us. We do not wish for conflict and bloodshed, but when our people are threatened it becomes necessary to use force. Now, return to your homes and make the preparations for... the 77th Hunger Games." Turning around Snow walked off the balcony with a smile on his face. Once more the people knew who really held the power in this world.
Finished
[/i][/center][/justify]What the people of Panem didn't know was that President Snow's health was failing him. The rebellion had taken it's toll on him and he was only a shell of his former self. In the shadows of the mansion that acted as home to Snow sat a girl, waiting for her chance to seize control from her ailing grandfather. The granddaughter of President Snow of Panem was biding her time, waiting for the day that her grandfather would fall to the stress and illness that was slowly killing him. A smile formed on her face as she listened to the cheers of the people because she knew her time would come soon... so very soon.
