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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJexOEh0wgo
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVfBKmrKjH
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2DU82xfWk
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 4.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fFr4DiG6R
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiud5JjCII
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqHT7YrH0W
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgQ4eBRVoW
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9f7RPx0Ol
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl70HtS1XA
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7atUObmMT
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBjzLOe0GL
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNssAD0CxgF
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6b7thmmHc
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv5tzgPjXj
I nod and let them take me to Carter.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4wFE91wKp
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?462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FxsP9Vnko
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzJFcSAJCY
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ3pyMgj3h
'' 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.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeBHnCVRoG
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzn1Vu7gKN
'' 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?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQw7u8lpeu
'' No.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMcNwvdIzW
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XIxrDu62W
'' Yes.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBxLi04Qfg
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtMlQYrjJX
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?462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQCqJPt7nq
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P9oVKKLQZ
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0rTydo9ye
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeS16lHB4V
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwMMskZT6k
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer4mXa7GNk
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvzMNtRk2S
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rM2EAN5lu
'' What you doing Finnick?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw66VYV0r2
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojHZ142LV4
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgNcOcdq41
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUi8xI7VrP
'' I'd better go.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKkKzIget
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vOL3PCV7Q
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lablvYm6H
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFMgi0qoVL
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvrlJhNN7e
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz41QnkjP3
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HmX9WoxaW
Next task: Body makeup.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncJgL0fg7G
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGvxO0kyF7
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbJkCvmGV3
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K0O9SexgY
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFkLuzWSNA
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYqkZIudMd
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtCJNmo6Vx
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj34ASfHJh
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XoyVBEaz5
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB4tW5xoz8
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rq2Cnyf4V
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kbYzkuQ9I
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3180RQrKKR
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUnr5bTkAp
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcd67QUG5v
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgGY0ppQAR
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg8AqZce5k
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLvskgtthj
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡophErwJSiZ
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfRGDYyRHZ
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2lngB24Ha
'' Why?''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMVW8HwkbC
'' It calms down your nerves.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKy2qXyvyh
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncslZi3sC0
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC8WlQtYwK
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczGceCQ2ai
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUY1QOA3v5
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGaFwhfYNu
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMKjPM01DC
'' 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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSusyevSh91
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fxAfIuv8J
Nice one Carter. Nice one.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0DIdcf9Ng
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9jQyklw8
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheT8fajmjE
It is.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bKEkPjFnT
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwtjAkRnTc
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO30sIWJ9Xr
I hope this works.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxVoXPmanC
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFGwIsq4j
'' 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.''462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXT86nH8hP
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhowWGGN3A
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BXy3fvlX
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQWpYvD4p
'' Me.'' I said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN30WcT2jd
'' Great!'' He said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVBWkBo6bp
I blushed again.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmtda1jzdI
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1XJnwVQPW
One edge closer into the Games.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60m45q4Dey
