I'm ushered into a room that looks like a hospital but with Capitol Citizens ('' They're your Prep Team Rain.'' Valora explained) and styling tools instead of syringes and medicines. It's too clean.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOpYN0U4fG
'' Hiya Darling. I'm Orna and this is Elbora,'' She pointed to a girl with bright pink bubblegum hair and lilac skin. '' And this is Saffron.'' She pointed to a boy with long green hair and red lips and eyes. They are disturbing. Orna has blue and purple hair which is okay for me.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RbW78iLJU
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJD6Boeg7K
Why do these people speak in such a high pitch? Why do their jaws barely open when they talk? Odd vowels, hissing... no wonder people mimic them back in District 4.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqywgTjHrwa
Ri-i-i-ipp! They are waxing my legs and hair all over (apart from the top of my head!). I brace myself again for the last sheet of wax is pressed onto my calf.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E0zWwtHMD
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKUWKgOu3r
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfna9eSIEtQ
Well I know one thing: Men have to see girls naked and women have to see boys naked. Great. I am stripped down and pampered and soaped and brushed and showered until finally I am ready.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclXf1sieaS
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXxf8P7Dpg
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvEIUzEuPj
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWulr6kGcG
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnwGHzYqRE
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE20Y1z0rbW
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxEzfKThDu
I nod and let them take me to Carter.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxX7AlBg7J
For what feels like hours, he arrives. I can see he is wearing blue lips and eyeliner. Is this all the range in the Capitol? Coloured lips and eyes?421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM2cPpfVBs
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUyJ9rpAKX
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVWamVlW8b
'' Well I'm not going to bother to do that. There are not many young volunteers. Why volunteer? Your sister could have all the glory of winning.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSCUjL8Rmt
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWrkpJJpGB
'' Well how brave.'' He finished. '' Now you are from District 4, correct?'' I nodded. '' Well fishing hmmm... Don't suppose you want to be in a net do you?''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk8V2NRoSx
'' No.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwlrQduZB
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTSViVMTv2
'' Yes.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q5X9s45QB
'' And blue would suit you... Yes I think it will be great.'' He turned to me. '' I'll be right back.'' And he ran off leaving me deserted in the room.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuUkqWjgN4
I hope this costume will NOT look like a fish. Or a mermaid for that matter. Why can't the Capitol people be normal? Why not like looked spoilt?421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUkQL2pkqp
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUEIhKac94
'' The idea is lovely according to Carter so... lets get sewing!'' Casey said. She sounds like she is from District 8 and not the capitol which is great.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNFkC58bZB
'' You two,'' Carter pointed at me and Bay, '' You go to the makeup department. My colleagues will be there.'' Me and Bay looked at each other. '' GO!'' He demanded. We scuttled off bumping into Valora.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4ASwvgFp
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAaLmnKZo6
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cDFE4Ym1L
'' I'll show you.'' She took us into the biggest room yet which is covered with mirrors. Finnick was standing by the doorway checking his reflection. Laurette was inside the department messing around with the makeup. Finnick looked at me.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmZPL8D0qQ
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xmxU8HD2
'' What you doing Finnick?''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULjX0SwYQs
'' Umm, thought I'd see the makeup and costumes. I've seen the clothes and they are beautiful. It would suit you.'' Awkward silence breaks the conversation.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxctL0Zv9u
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ5L7EH5Q0
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQM8EtT9pU
'' I'd better go.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH2WIrqDo5
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrJYRkLpWF
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKD43fW1TP
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pkhOgzAQv
'' Ready Rain?'' She asked me. I nodded and walked over to the seat and mirror. I glanced at Finnick and he was looking back at me. He mouthed 'good luck'. I nodded and mouthed 'thanks' back to him.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkgZ2mbhwd
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14Gn2AHTz
After a long hour of makeup (and Finnick's '' That looks great on you!''), we finally got my look. I got my eyes, my glittery lips and my nails complete.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWl0QAAK2M
Next task: Body makeup.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGywbbKqHB
Finnick had to go out for my modesty obviously. It's a shame really. I need to stop thinking about him. After cursing silently, Orna starts the body makeup.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZKSb1jMf
Blue glitter is sprinkled over me and blue and sea-green makeup is spread over my shoulders and legs. My body feels as though it has been decorated for a party.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvlvLSfvSj
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FmwTCJtYG
It brings out my curves around my hips and brings out my breasts a little. It drapes around my back and comes around my ankles. I have glittery blue shoes. And my sparkly ginger hair is braided into the most difficult plait I have ever seen.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwTJasoszx
Last finishing touch a starfish and shell clips slid through my hair to clip my fringe to the side. My natural curls touching the middle of my back.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiiBS0ccWC
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr688n0ElRI
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUoEP2jSju
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3o5Zq8gTH
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvDbq65a16
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazFKFiVSIX
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJgfbfleK
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2I1F204Ze
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunsGCKvj8E
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelUCKv5ODO
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKpxfw0UEV
He is wearing a blue wrap around him and blue makeup around his eyes and arms. He is also holding a trident. His brown hair has now blue streaks and is barefoot.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA47pVJlsXC
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmQpYrs7fe
'' Well lets go.'' He said. I nodded and it looks like Finnick is trying to hold his laughter. I giggle silently walking to the horse.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZgSYkPpap
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp4jmk7CjM
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pnsw8qLr4
'' Why?''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9eqJlazk
'' It calms down your nerves.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjujrR3Iwf
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0UwGqnNDR
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRF6RIq6Nm
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkGdVgnTe5
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLauzvJGN2X
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Le1hk0hzb
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RzlnXVBXP
'' Tributes on Chariots. Tributes on Chariots.'' I clutch my silk dress. I hold Bay's hand. Boom! And we're off! The horses are clapping to the beat of the drums. Thump, thump, thump, thump. Goes the heart and the drums. I glance to the side and I see Finnick at the front of the seats. His posture! His grace is impeccable! And he is staring at me. Great. I change direction and look straight at a camera.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6iylIKnk5
I can see a beautiful face. Blue eyes and lips with red cheeks, glittery hair braided into a tricky plait... I am a mermaid. I think this is for the Tributes to say that I am weak.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYR4Jh82g
Nice one Carter. Nice one.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDoazc1VGS
Well anyway we are near the mansion now. I can see President Snow poised but sturdy on his balcony. He is looking down upon us and I try to straighten my posture more. I look at Bay. I have an idea.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLArlglxJyr
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NAU3ohWlW
It is.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmhJwVjrY3
He raises my hand and shows it to the crowd and we smile. Brother and sister united. But that's not what I am doing this for.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rMozaU3jZ
This is a hint to Snow that we can't be separated. Bay or me don't want to die. If we show that we want to stay together as a family, he might find the loop in letting this game's have two Victors.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SQRtfdEHn
I hope this works.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqij6gxB2zk
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bSPabQEB8
'' Welcome Tributes to the Capitol. For the two weeks you stay here, you will live in a life of luxury. But you train and have interviews in between. You train to get a better chance of winning the Games and live in luxury. And most importantly I should say May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour.''421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeTHEypD45
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sNuQONRKk
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjULo5XxDD
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTRmXoMnnC
'' Me.'' I said.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTAg6tY1vt
'' Great!'' He said.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtc153Em4c
I blushed again.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa051lq2D6
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG56xEZS4y
One edge closer into the Games.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MODl4NUko
