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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMohDsXMvxt
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781oZ5SzJW
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo1GYScBBJ
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 4.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX8jBmLgif
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoTLkzusWz
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NbG0agqI2
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJGCRt0VEw
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWuBN1tD8Q
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1yMZJzN8j
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGVSa2GbPc
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEowBHNQVO3
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sonCERoHz
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qqanRBCfr
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqART5MvUR
I nod and let them take me to Carter.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEgnXdPMmb
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?446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSkxof29RC
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VADUcEBlR
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPfRdFwBbA
'' 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.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ5TJsPOVl
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhpcKLj74D
'' 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?''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTXbc3FcwO
'' No.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbByqy1aJc
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0InmOehlmu
'' Yes.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94KsecUTrC
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74DUeJFIDs
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?446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T5FKmXBYM
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF51dRGMZm
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWxZBm6jFf
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxsQL5chJE
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qyGjU2xWO
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR9gFNol7h
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466Ht8tmWM
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Cmmz2fCF
'' What you doing Finnick?''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Adu3mklw
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENJDuhyQZc
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lVs5HBBnY
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P3SrqvBQZ
'' I'd better go.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGmLrBdads
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJIpgi3nEo
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUblETgLnla
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1MKUvLV9
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RgWmvG7va
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplm3ZfclE2
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqisJeDgTHn
Next task: Body makeup.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHqszuWO90
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlC3j9j7d
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhIwLv1TdK
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t3niHCEGO
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YdunLOa88
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwOmfO5xc8
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6nd1PqfHf
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCYeMQAi8A
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDojdnY6X6u
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxFmXUtS3
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV60FcaZXo
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IzJGUEif2
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXGR1G88YO
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9z1Sk7B6
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Nx0AEZ83
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PDGhc0xXJ
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RTpo3xYeA
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IVIgpsP3K
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5iwUK73gu
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbERMErzo
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdx5D4xR7e
'' Why?''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciCgX9yafI
'' It calms down your nerves.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoRaIrMMEu
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy7hRIICTc
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUlLunFdg4
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sgkSYvzgo
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuotkQzjVD
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbx0U9BKL1
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkEzCHQXBY
'' 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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsbbAP5Vzx
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85cD2YM6SJ
Nice one Carter. Nice one.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyl8x20ML9
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM1wxkagEB
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKsuij3WlX
It is.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq3DpYFllg
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ024DKuTFmF
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CdKH8ZqhS
I hope this works.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCZRcEPsIL
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZFHEEX6nR
'' 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.''446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjET6PWEdw
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cz4DZdpPo
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94cTbV3O2
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepWZS9nGnG
'' Me.'' I said.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX2jckU6tK
'' Great!'' He said.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9awa8QJ4N
I blushed again.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwF99e6xC
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3pb4SWaKr
One edge closer into the Games.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfHcsQgfAi
