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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41LCyatcRn
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYVHIA83vP
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QY3iqjho1
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 4.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF91JtSRnr
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaaoM05yLJ
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gVzBydJ83
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVHDVnCI07
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ3GMEgVhh
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wA8B1ueBs
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pLTD0PV2j
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBEZunHwgK
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHTWgeikGQ
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI0fX8oxSX
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjuk0OtGX9
I nod and let them take me to Carter.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1qWCiHc21
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?443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDormhGOH07
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H805LMkU5
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5tqHdfDxG
'' 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.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ63FmOtyYY
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxKL0Go7MV
'' 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?''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDvtwlYWkk
'' No.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxWw2v07NR
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPAlHrZOH
'' Yes.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnb61iaexP
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOy4aDmYIq
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?443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFFWdI6IjB
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR0Vdi3zMO
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNzTRx4Mua
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7VjJ7SCGO
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAvxtNy1BG
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcNrVWzlg7
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHF3p1In9v
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIaEQEnWoo
'' What you doing Finnick?''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1zOFFLRhF
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusvHjzHjwO
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScW0sE9wgB
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYyalJCrug
'' I'd better go.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMh829JqSw
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8S6gbchEX
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHvh9088Ph
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJksB8jYz24
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQZdxMEVnh
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXaYxpoeZf
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzXFrQmND
Next task: Body makeup.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o7LImNpX1
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7436aMdqJy
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9gOFeqaJJ
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePBkBE72gc
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjAVxE4xPt
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlhNQSpsKO
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgGwM9a6fB
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBRyCb06L1
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry7HKs6RVY
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQaGTsiEtr
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fML3GuQfJ
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMu3XtWcyd
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiFvR8ClvK
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKCY490hjh
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo59DoGLLl
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMPP73u2OL
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET1pNwZA6N
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMTqaG6kE
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNlNKvB6ya
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlL6ZrcURt
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJyw2V2TgW
'' Why?''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RWVq0EEc1
'' It calms down your nerves.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03J5OJ7kj9
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjFK1TFknp
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0f9XwL7vJ
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SdrkiK65Z
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrNsaRZXIJ
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuAcg1rvMI
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOSC5B4aKV
'' 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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Zd1SXOiL
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwSYNvLmZL
Nice one Carter. Nice one.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiItlllaK8o
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3StHkX3XKV
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALzMX7R49V
It is.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8Y54IuoT
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyStiFo5KFO
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNotLUhsTB
I hope this works.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3L6zQMne1
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmvwlm1Rwf
'' 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.''443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13eq3GHBcU
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXFOMonnqo
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp6xyMRYgX
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w89nhqkgJ
'' Me.'' I said.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLz8BuGaao
'' Great!'' He said.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJIfqwfW4X
I blushed again.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJEilGZcBV
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyGEQHaws4
One edge closer into the Games.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbsPqJW8rR
