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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi71VYHAS6b
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB29X0krD5R
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E22oS9wve
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 4.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHaY6Razpp
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjobTYwTN2Y
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBeVlQPy7z
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6kPfN33pL
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ1zVy1tfy
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkpejbrAb1
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTwEITul2
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwa9rdsDZ
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L4OPkiVmA
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcvKWdk1WE
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtUKUPHegl
I nod and let them take me to Carter.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJvG3MCy2S
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?401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigF7pVEfjZ
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl56YKGauU
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvMf498W4M
'' 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.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ydtjvqSVX
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AGTmCZske
'' 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?''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl9sY4Ei5f
'' No.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjgAd0xSVb
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjvmbjboGc
'' Yes.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdO21Pmupp
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuVFnv2b1U
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?401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqtPuz3HJg
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJWieBfKd
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82I05VKDaq
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCGveXNsvg
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbLrcbeBjs
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5upfBujhm
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVdo4QC7Fg
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsEg6U166R
'' What you doing Finnick?''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDSrQtmqSC
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDHdUg33ci
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKm4N1vfhD
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNVzvITEM3
'' I'd better go.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBXphpxFas
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiugL5ZNdUL
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBM6GVf6PF
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3DBv1kuW2
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe1Ft1F6Tw
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHeHA1x2Cd
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44LqT7KnVH
Next task: Body makeup.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYfgMS5i1b
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t6NR9SJds
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq1FAj8dS7
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxFVNwsby
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lrFanF7T
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AMDQbLrv
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBBBJ9y3SE
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyKXiYkVdM
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAkhVtzCLd
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCukFmgsx4m
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKoqys449M
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKshkIADk
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmi1b22dMw
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM47mcuw5d
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM4FNYkWN6
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPI9g4LGXy
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWGEcP2Nw
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtJh3b397C
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvePupsoDv
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbUCkgeQLP
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFrvgW4Wyd
'' Why?''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfg3mOWEV7
'' It calms down your nerves.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA5TamNvvs
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H4Cf9YPCZ
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfvCOzsd1b
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmQo3QEJdT
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLJeT55f9f
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OpFh9zOnt
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMVpfklWs6
'' 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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOUx0KFSC2
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYgVkQt5Fy
Nice one Carter. Nice one.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y3g9xyAEG
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504WkJPSUm
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AI5RtYbli
It is.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7RbSJqtG2
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXNv7wMdL4
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6dv9LrdtA
I hope this works.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2tQFVBOaC
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz0WZbWQmL
'' 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.''401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6WVTydlcV
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3RNfqI0Hz
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYOUFTH69X
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu9wghit7p
'' Me.'' I said.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMAO0lccYj
'' Great!'' He said.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpPg3qjsAn
I blushed again.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReg0333Ngx
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuIuwjx3vx
One edge closer into the Games.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiHOrTwvj1
