Creative Writing: Portia's Failure Of Snow
She has failed him.
Portia has failed President Snow.
She was his spy, his little inside mole, to report back to him about her tributes' behavior, along with her stylist partner, Cinna. Snow had suspected something about him, something that was off, and had assigned Portia there.
But she has to be executed now with the rest of the rebels, for being a failure, as Cinna has realized who she really is. But Snow still feels a little wary about this. Something not right, perhaps a little strand of light not usually there, one that he identifies as mercy, to be tugging on his sleeve, preventing him from killing her outright.
Snow thinks that maybe it's the cologne that's overpowering his brain. And after he takes a nice, warm, hot bath, and is more warmed up that usual, he muses it over. The feeling feels strangely familiar, back to when he actually... /loved/. Yes, he identifies the feeling as love. But he prevents himself from loving, he's the President of Panem, and has a rebellion to crush and worry about. Love will only make him weak and unfit to lead. The only thing to do would be to deny and ignore, that's what. …show more content…
But what should he do with her?
She should be executed. To not do so would be weak and foolish. It would show that the others in his espionage branch that he is weak and cannot take care of failures, that he is scared to do so. President Snow, scared? They have no idea how scared he always is, about the Rebellion, about Panem, about the districts, the Hunger Games and especially himself. Is he descending into madness? Maybe a little bit of comfort, a little bit of someone he actually wants, he lusts for, he likes, would be good for him and his
sanity.
So he does the thing that could either shatter his world or fix it. It does both. He calls in Portia. His best spy, actually known as Sempronia, but that's not relevant.
He decides to be straightfoward and blunt, not caring what she thinks. If she refuses, he'll threaten her with death, or at least that's what he thinks. But really, is he? No, no definite way he is going to kill her, not at this point, not when his feelings about her are this deep, and out in the open.
She comes in, ever so gracefully, putting on that razor-sharp smile that can caution the bravest of souls to stay away. That's why he likes her. She plays her part always so well, while still retaining herself to him. That deadly, don't mess with me type of person is just who he needs to rule by his side with an iron fist, to set the example of what his caliber is.
Is Snow really thinking she's going to rule by his side? He thinks he must be going mad, to share his power with another person. Or maybe it's just love.
