**UNIVERSAL POV (THIRD PERSON)**

Back in the arena, Ashley stands tall and proud above the bodies of her victims. A hovercraft comes in and picks her up. She laughs and hops in.

When she arrives at the Capitol, she is  rushed to a room where nurses treat her wounds and stylists pamper her up.

She was being flooded with the same questions:

"How'd you do that?"

"How did you come back to life?"

"Tell us your secret."

"The entire Panem watched you. It's impossible!"

Ash ignored the questions and walked onto the stage to be interviewed by Mr. Flickerman.

"So Ashley, how do you feel?"

"Ecstatic actually!"

Based on everyone's tone, she was able to tell the Capitol was upset by her winning stratagy. The Capitol was upset that Ash made them look like a fool, the citizens were upset that Ash came back to life. The Capitol had convinced everyone she was dead, making them look like liars and cheats when she came back alive. They were clearly mad.

Because of your... intriguing... stratagy for winning the games, we created something called the Quarter Quell. Every 25 year mark of the Hunger Games will be... special. This is to show that not one person is ever stronger than the Capitol itself. Not even you, Ashley." Flickerman fake smiled through.

Ash chuckled and headed off the stage, to the back. She thought to herself, What have I done?

She ran off to her bedroom and cried inside, weeping about what she had done. She should have just died, should have just let Chia win. But no. Now she did it.

And there is no going back.
