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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6j8mJaVn8
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gcxvYNXV
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgEXhyg3aR
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 4.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZDbOv235Z
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxkl2rW4Eu
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSEGimIoy
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhebxOk3d9W
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ8wBNmWQ0
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6W63qCBlb
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPsIgfUl2M
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CvCnUJDs
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5DWogrrzY
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWh3BhN0Lr
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4woSEtFPqO
I nod and let them take me to Carter.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KpMfHWteU
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?428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy8rxQsKEX
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMp7hMpJOk
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnYmCAaUg
'' 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.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H28ScPh6u
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsDIzZ3rM3
'' 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?''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NxZjfdJr
'' No.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAre32lc4Dn
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrQ9s3C0o1
'' Yes.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYGM3LU14a
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLohYRH8xNM
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?428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZjBwMjor
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9r7U8VR8g
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOtTMt6HRb
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRPlcV9zHW
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5w76AakC8
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8IgnnjLVi
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsoUYYUFX0
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFIbAgwqgP
'' What you doing Finnick?''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcNJa8PdsE
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgLCNBtKV4
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh12Tmqz0F
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv5Ra2RBDB
'' I'd better go.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGOlwz2UT9
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dUsY2ASze
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoo0quIMYf
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaSfysb1Wb
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnkqUEiQl4
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPcq906v9F
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwycoFCrJA
Next task: Body makeup.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihIPm4Hcmt
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObbFaIh6Ka
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tWUbknot8
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG6f4IJOGZ
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeRN4fra6T
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6AUUfo0MA
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWS1bnuxGc
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclbm8pNhCS
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfmwqvXaP6
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNMICu7pS2
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrulVk44NcJ
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5lHAFtFqi
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPon44ipymc
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB9XNR1PAV
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6fchsB49d
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01saJ3hGk7
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrejbqPp1rd
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse639sVeqE
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlvkP4QVAL
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5QJCdZEpq
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGbplI4Jiz
'' Why?''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OkleRl0Yk
'' It calms down your nerves.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkG2TF6lms
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbWZplmzng
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVP5DgNViq
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaD5l4yqLv
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1TYjMS272
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmy0QoHRuK
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75QYOW7sr8
'' 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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D1UwrU5Iz
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQdqUonEFl
Nice one Carter. Nice one.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0KOmJEnGP
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeaPXhmEAa
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDePgwFdnJO
It is.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAmB356YJX
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb35y1h3Zq
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.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP6CTpOtpU
I hope this works.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjNkBgqyfS
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lCBJJCgKe
'' 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.''428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgaYkiku8m
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfkxB6InmD
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RuaW45pCb
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kC2PVL4Nc
'' Me.'' I said.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiPf2lVWX7
'' Great!'' He said.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uy1K9mC2t
I blushed again.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESOBpnLc6z
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxZUrKaWCq
One edge closer into the Games.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fOvDEvBAw
