Her hand clasps around her necklace given to her by her stylists, she almost forgot about it in the Games. She was standing by Katniss and her little sister Prim, they were listening to president Coin speak. "Good afternoon, thank you all for interrupting your schedules."

Ophelia looks over to Katniss when she sees Prim whisper to her, her eyes find Coin again when she hears her name. "Katniss Everdeen and Ophelia Parks has consented to be our faces of the revolution. Nine Districts against the Capital. I have promised Several-"

Katniss disappeared, maybe to go talk to Gale. "Annie Cresta, Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason, and Finnick Odair." Her breath caught in her throat as she heard Coins words, sorrow filled her body.

"If Katniss Everdeen and Ophelia Parks fail to do what we ask the deal will be over." She pauses. "Thank you all for your time."ย

She watches Katniss as Effie places her mockingjay pin on her, Katniss was dressed in a black body suit and her hair was in a braid. "Come on Ophelia lets get you dressed."

The brunette shakes her head, then folds her arms across her chest. "No, Katniss is the real face of the Rebellion." Effie almost scoffed when she heard my words.

"Both if you are, so you better put that bodysuit on and get on that platform." Her words were harsh but genuine, she got dressed into the bodysuit like she was told to do and made her way to where Katniss stood.

"Okay you two, you're going to hold your flags in the air and deliver your lines." Plutarch said, then continued.ย  "When every you're ready."

Ophelia stands next to Katniss, holding her flag tight. "Citizens of Panem, we fight, we dare-" The younger girl said squeezing her eyes shut, she knew she messed up.

Plutarch corrects her and they bend down again. "Citizens of Panem, we fight, we dare to end this hunger-"

Plutarch yelled at her again making the brunette jump, he apologizes and tells her to try again. "People of Panem, we fight, we dare to end this hunger for justice."

Haymitch walks in clapping slowly, "That my friend, is how a revolution dies." he says and smirks. "Hello Katniss, Ophelia."

"Is that how you greet an old friend?" She continues to narrow her eyes at him before speaking.

"Maybe i don't recognize you sober?" She snarls back making Ophelia smile.

She sits by Gale watching the video her and Katniss made, Haymitch stands up and starts to give a speech, she groans quietly.

"I'd like you all to think of a moment that Katniss made you feel something." Effie raises her hand.

"When she volunteered for her sister." He writes it down.

"What else?"

"Oh when she sang that song for Rue." She piped in again.

"Now what do all these things have in common?"

"They're allย  unscripted." Gale says and Beetee agrees.

"So are you suggesting we throw her into combat?" Plutarch asks, Ophelia was beginning to think she wasn't needed at this time.

"And if you're killed?" She was snapped out of her thoughts by Coin.

"Make sure to get it on camera."
