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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HrEoCvEOV
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI5NAlw77x
'' Let's get you prepped up!'' 434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6BJeQNOWo
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 4.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vYLw8WJoF
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RGUwpnlbK
'' Last one honeybee.'' Orna said. I grit my teeth. Ri-i-i-ip! I sigh in relief.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YNrlooVff
'' Now we are going to shower you all over!'' Saffron excitingly giggled.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu9G0RYZDg
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdAejw7GEg
'' Aww I wish Carter would let me do the makeup.'' Elbora sighed. She glared at Orna.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ437tygAqW4
'' Well sorry he picked me!'' She huffed.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgelVbCgAdu
'' Who's Carter?'' I ask. They stopped bickering but Saffron stepped in.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsffagmIY0
'' Your stylist!'' Saffron explained. '' One of the best stylists if I say so myself.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0yqPelp5Y
'' Does Bay have the same stylist?''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ3smms8Wf
'' No he has Casey but she's terrible. You have the best stylist!''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhhzkOvAmL
I nod and let them take me to Carter.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq36510610K
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?434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0XXcnPLh9
'' Congratulations I would say for being picked but you weren't picked. You volunteered.'' He laughed.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL5ciGAav9
'' Yeah most people congratulate me.'' I said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1QSCFZ4jY
'' 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.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q9LTzfpzJ
'' She would die straight away.'' I bantered.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYzE3e6MhY
'' 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?''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g8b0kYPti
'' No.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjMoNjSqmT
'' Ooh I have an idea! Do you like dresses?''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRr7NNmwsC
'' Yes.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbz5ZcZRoQ
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDK8DIYpN3
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?434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgEayvGI6U
After rerunning this in my mind for several times, he came back.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG09PJk8LC
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC2Qc9f6OS
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGn2B70oyd
'' Woah careful dears!'' She squeaked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktOSLSPsn7
'' Where's the makeup department?'' I ask.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7va17YQCo
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYm8gVcDKd
'' Hey Rain, Bay.'' He nodded at Bay. He smiled his legendary smile.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzsWvXkE64
'' What you doing Finnick?''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPaik8kIpU
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GzBkx7IGX
'' We'd better get in.'' I broke the awkwardness like always. He nods.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV2zsH40qv
'' They're waiting.'' He lead us inside the Full of Mirrors Room.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOFkq9RlJi
'' I'd better go.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO5ELGMqkI
'' Oh no Finnick stay.'' Elbora came out of a screen.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosCUtBLdzD
'' If you want me to, I'll stay.'' He smiled again. 434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s5uuBla5M
'' Great just stand over there.'' Orna came through while Elbora pointed next to the mirror.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPE9ODpfrC
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFfLZ0zd4a
'' Let's get started!'' Orna squealed after Bay was by his mirror. It seemed he needed makeup too.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6wKzAUTXx
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkxPyPv2VY
Next task: Body makeup.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWPhQtR4Zm
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwQ11amHGl
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLMOwOjplq
I now put on my dress and as Finnick said, I love it!434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Q2hPuCdD
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNANsUw5KwS
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJsmbiAdMp
Finnick came back in. He gasped at me.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc9PLwV0Br
'' Rain, you look beautiful.'' He said. I blushed so much I had to look down onto the floor.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHqz9U3oU
'' Thanks.'' I managed in the end.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXHrQ7VZmS
'' Chariot Time!!'' Shouted Saffron.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8R41rHi7B
'' Let's go,'' Finnick looked at me.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO1D8xLXal
'' Your Chariot is the 4th one at the front.'' Orna reminded me.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2G3YUrxwg
'' Okay. Do we need to find Bay?'' I ask.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYto3HSKGE
'' No dear because he is right here.'' Elbora said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdGXoTmFDt
And standing by my screen is a person I don't recognize.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vCsnCN2OK
He's still Bay. But doesn't look like him.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAtZuc32rT
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbczbzxaTH
I open my mouth in shock. He looks like Poseidon. But without a beard.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5CZU7n0Gc
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jn0HOmbof
'' How'd we get here huh?'' I said to the horse.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7y2TGTbnW
'' Hey before I go, do you want a sugar cube?'' Finnick asks.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0q9qyP80
'' Why?''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoE7rqYwaZ
'' It calms down your nerves.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYihLyd3At
'' Okay,'' I shrugged and took the cube.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7fniYtsEB
Sweetness explodes in my mouth and I sigh in relief. I crunch the cube and settled on the chariot.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PLL5wJQol
'' Good luck Rain Wolfe.'' And he slipped through my fingers again.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P5QiIacpz
I frown at myself while Bay gets on the chariot. Why can't I get a word out before Finnick slips through my fingers?434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlzdkzxq3K
'' Good luck sis.'' Bay says.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bgzrXSr6g
'' You too bro.'' I hold the front of the chariot. Really tight. My fingers are starting to turn white.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEgZBg9kZj
'' 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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22eXW4uCX
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMYTOrsaf2
Nice one Carter. Nice one.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr4FWKHHfe
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOh3llUtuH
I whisper, '' Bay raise my hand and hold it so the people can see.'' He shrugged which I hope is a yes.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoJPeCFje0
It is.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCAPXOLCWL
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMSOCnpmg7
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAsntmM1jd
I hope this works.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic0TwI1GyN
The horses are stopping. Drums stopped thudding. The City Circle silent.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0UUGjC41b
'' 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.''434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO5lWMTmB0
And then the audience claps and we are rode away. After we stopped, Carter, Casey, Laurette, Finnick and Valora came rushing to us.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy29U4iqzU
'' Nice show.'' Carter said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaTqoxN16F
'' I like the hand-holding, who thought of that?'' Finnick questions.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6POZC05H8x
'' Me.'' I said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm95FMtpEK
'' Great!'' He said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSJYYsDXqq
I blushed again.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CuH7IHj3R
'' Lets get to the Training Centre!'' Valora squeaked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcZCchoI31
One edge closer into the Games.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztYqA4p01Q
