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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Jqxitz76
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurUp9gX7JX
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jbhX6oUEc
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 4.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsi9XgGsKe
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2ZLVwtWV4
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIaCEVKMP
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMcIISBvHI
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHhty47unw
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlxUDyaPWl
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQaYuigVpF
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjexT6x7SlW
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhJYpe5eW
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSSs6x8vMv
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp7eko4OjW
I nod and let them take me to Carter.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1C8sNLCS7
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?482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBN14wdBu4
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo7sUZqf3O
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr45crbCJsk
'' 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.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhyRAGvPUX
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0pdtJ1wTv
'' 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?''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDvlx72YkO
'' No.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8yBuwx2xt
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmeWCzcHUu
'' Yes.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV9k6CW28q
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoYHwX39mW
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?482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ192sTwdknC
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb0fAGI4P9
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotpy8FghF
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx81Mqc3RZ7
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5kKjTxAd
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBREg7lubF
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC7XYxlM3E
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KVcfW0jq
'' What you doing Finnick?''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8BFyeoTZ
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdot16aa1gB
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVxTkJvwh
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a8gs8gQEZ
'' I'd better go.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqFPSdVZBx
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaef0d6CjBb
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ye2TQnEDP
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulCl6lM6Nl
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ33ouqbkF
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjZNuWCf8J
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH47SkKkdu
Next task: Body makeup.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfU2XJy1W
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqEcQ9CVNv
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN0aH3wUPx
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AIeqgPeZx
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2vOvS7Q4o
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYBpMMCyrt
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSyttRUtiO
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5eLL6F6AE
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvFjIy1OD
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLifYH0U5W
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRi9udyrVX
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtnyzaX0RR
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgW3r9kRWE
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNdLAvzW4
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YOp4VkErG
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ZjBBOxKJ
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3sS4YPi3l
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8D0OdaKs9
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNbGwArCGS
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQ4ZCwgIM
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pgmy0P23o
'' Why?''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6jiYFnQPu
'' It calms down your nerves.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwILETEz0Tt
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8tBelFui0
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4bHBIRwi1
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQyahoCu25
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVwNH7SdkQ
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYFXImwd3
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfX1MwVRyg
'' 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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAP4HMuzHP
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkx1ddNQ3d
Nice one Carter. Nice one.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRDTsn09yV
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAsaqnN6ap
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1A6B2sd9a
It is.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lLhxCVsy8
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR00lH2IHRg
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxorYGkgBr
I hope this works.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyzteAWA9
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNrQHVdSa
'' 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.''482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aWQTxUIj5
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeF8KQyxKk
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mWSpv9wqP
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ti5P9aalX
'' Me.'' I said.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJmrAFB0kN
'' Great!'' He said.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPZ2rdDi1
I blushed again.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcQcmRRTYv
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorZjaYVjmQ
One edge closer into the Games.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkC0oY2eJc
