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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp1yKLzvba
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGKkCJTFZ1
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tJGEJLhjG
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 4.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QRdT2diVI
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQjmPwKov
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO6Brkur2Y
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwVUCGj2g
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQcz9P2sag
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlguKNCdO7R
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNKj7bWbvL
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zpTbs4Q9W
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBL4oXDtN6
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7HDK8YH0u
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGqPNgQl8
I nod and let them take me to Carter.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt3UchDJfB
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?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe98syOcun
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD2JJjB9Ej
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxbndC9jzC
'' 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.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82hGQzS1b8
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QBusxChY
'' 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?''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaURzQhcrCc
'' No.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pyc2Y7oRz
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRoacoPNKo
'' Yes.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTNbJIn2b8
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkziVcjfToa
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?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCW3J2FdBW
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdm7han4Z1
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEekKjXQcMS
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG64CT0JGMe
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSyjVXHSYn
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9R6a8SSu0
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3HJo5VSS
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdutEv97tz
'' What you doing Finnick?''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FGKBerzhF
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2R10egqOk
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv2hIHakXJ
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS72OzO90wu
'' I'd better go.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaxCnpbYcE
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hoBqdA3j
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmprOXulUZ
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpPl6aIqNX
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVP5kVodPA
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLxp8VB1tM
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXT54HwGbY
Next task: Body makeup.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS1BcYSR2S
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMybSOejcP
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkx31N561F
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SYqKIriDl
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQhnrgEO1Y
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpAZBGhlm
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLDVTzHyRH
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUAVqZVkDz
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTokEH64fp8
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdrmP5JXde
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHv176FObL
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZW0ZoIcM8
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EClZGcE1F
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9bdg0PyXa
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYwq036mOY
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymK0ju8QQC
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpqrnUYZsd
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUSdKnED2R
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfIynJx8HW
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0TqYEJJTd
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxvP9fx1RT
'' Why?''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaqSv4Dbye
'' It calms down your nerves.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23vYuuRfxZ
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtp6wd3uAV
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEbX1Zn74X
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUYGSnpPHU
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgkwBVXXb5
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYqir8KwpS
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIVsCyZ2yV
'' 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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVrLf1o50k
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbOlUaAneg
Nice one Carter. Nice one.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFyRtIeI1u
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgz8WCazY
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpK1qNXr6U
It is.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SK6jixnl
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qa6i1u5EZ
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0fgqLguLp
I hope this works.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpPdnCVVqI
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0PBZXLrS4
'' 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.''369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsgQ91lttX
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4bxIwewAh
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRse0gMa0ct
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3aTsResL2
'' Me.'' I said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRDGc4X3WE
'' Great!'' He said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCNIDdmFWv
I blushed again.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhGtAZ8ziy
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sl8xh0AXX
One edge closer into the Games.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpjznR9bMK
