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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEkIWFGJz3
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ941nLs1Lui
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjqJNOz3uW
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 4.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wFr37CRFt
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4glYYffsm
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T8BgUNMrf
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6VuMaxabQ
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFckYnoBgF
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihKqRgCGnA
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeGjmxGrHe
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYxSrIUjAG
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOIzsmPGZX
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmPyIwhJow
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mYD7PspDQ
I nod and let them take me to Carter.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11zWpZHlOg
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?481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCrsg7jRCI
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L1bbLbAN9
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v7QuYyjn6
'' 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.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZMQbbcz8D
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqxd7F05xY
'' 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?''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywpfp4F7Wj
'' No.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvXa1KuYi
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf9ZCh62fm
'' Yes.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlJVyv76I
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B7bZ84s9m
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?481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrKEcw2X2f
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1wwKUFMWs
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GgBCPhecQ
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln5lRor9Iu
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVBQCFuN4V
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZY3Q3tnlq
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIKBjwaPJ
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnBi5obEYY
'' What you doing Finnick?''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyse4UmlogO
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmtfsID9Ff
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtTsYBkWI7
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNBNVgy03
'' I'd better go.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwpeFTF6Vr
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYLgcwczGp
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJo4sNG7G4
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp5A0zldga
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ii8VIwT6
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwFYgXEnO0
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dtC4n4z1m
Next task: Body makeup.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUnxldy82t
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3WGjGj8xE
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLpAQZQWFO
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXBUd9P5xg
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCXEi2Z3dj
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Vkb8VhSe
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYXrgqY1Ba
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0pobuyJVF
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevgzzd1kCU
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlVtHa18Gq
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO7V0q3TOG
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUjqqvExyc
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCPkZhyipZ
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7K3ycItf7
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEMu04xgiS
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRD3YVVeVF
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLLr2id9r9
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qRoaQzok9
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ax1WFXYvy
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnR3Pdov8X
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUSns92cWp
'' Why?''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSWCU6nXj0
'' It calms down your nerves.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFgIUx3hoY
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0VNkx0ce8
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymiTXv3GAa
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudsMB1i6SG
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6PuzphdXq
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbcpMZI7vM
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo4JNKCjjk
'' 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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBoHVPsKCm
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7VlGNJ4ut
Nice one Carter. Nice one.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZhsTf7yno
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOWGr9wwIT
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefHLZTWC3
It is.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdIpLXI6mO
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf7ynp45KS
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqNKK3vIC
I hope this works.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz0gUkBcuj
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N1iOf94QH
'' 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.''481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqc06gnsG4
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4003GTpsdj
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv6oJUT3IF
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiM6eA2x97
'' Me.'' I said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFChRHYfjh
'' Great!'' He said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXzz7prRnh
I blushed again.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65DG2Y8uf
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDJtoL8IqZ
One edge closer into the Games.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjziV56CN2V
