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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA1aPQYVA2
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSgpYJOMYW
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdG7bPlx6E
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 4.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM1z2Yv1KL
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCRLs9eJ5y
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTMy2oq2x1
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ72MgyYwnD
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylOaEZFcrq
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvUyetBsw
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BK6ThVOVL
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZxamtqXeF
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSfo8K7sK
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4JXLn3IJB
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseudBZUiS6
I nod and let them take me to Carter.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCi7uJPzEW
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?441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMFwYyxzoq
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBSccF0fVk
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwjpjOPh1r
'' 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.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lvYp77C5t
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DAbpp9x55
'' 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?''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPvTGPSzOB
'' No.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVQnaO15Li
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ssUY4BZb
'' Yes.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4jUUKSZto
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ZxCt7v35
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?441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG5hY4eMaa
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRdSo3Y0Dw
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfeXOwCbvu
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63FADfUXjA
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qvTBpoVTw
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRByiJQpn7
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAItYBDpR3
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv3a8Jo0Aw
'' What you doing Finnick?''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8BzcMhXEG
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY882BIol5
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrRfsLp8vW
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTgJu89L5R
'' I'd better go.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp7aDwjRqx
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GXPBd8DT6
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZNF9HWWI
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsbxqsaK57
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4goCVcxft
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAoFyPDeaJ
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyEHaZ4YNU
Next task: Body makeup.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMQI3vOOY
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoWzzNFkcx
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEqRqWagFe
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLw4HIlLf
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIO4UJOfpO
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M0h6tabH6
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Eo3vZx2L
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUdfL5j0WF
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQfqd7JKAj
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqrM4wBDUp
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjR2AxGWsh
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGpKSTXsZt
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGroLuz6Hlo
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJfxwgrf96
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD8SO0eDPw
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeV0XLUKiC
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVggwxvicr6
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mhkiCHCvp
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVegGn23N0
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ8oRNMciC
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mDszkXqQq
'' Why?''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEYxERoGMQ
'' It calms down your nerves.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgjoGFl5QM
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzr9i47tNQ
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3wNShVBdJ
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDKbvC01Lb
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EXXjGYNA5
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzMyzDWr5t
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fNYRGYFaZ
'' 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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkGue3jCt3
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsxJIhXySZ
Nice one Carter. Nice one.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmfC5CW0qG
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDIeSwI4F9
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG96QnRBWu
It is.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b737788E8
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTtck4XjlL
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyy1C6xfPO
I hope this works.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuOdhYMb6k
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hy4aVgY2u
'' 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.''441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEER04dHWO
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri72iTEFSV
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ02GyA60w
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbrFHDyB0C
'' Me.'' I said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgsYu56QOH
'' Great!'' He said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6H9F1Cp4r
I blushed again.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUzN3pD49b
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgKSILshSo
One edge closer into the Games.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFkxftSUIM
