Once we walk through the door I started to sigh with relief until I was yanked through yet another door. After standing stupidly in a bright room just blinking for a second I looked around realizing that I was in the room that Finnick had told me about. This was the room where they would "make me pretty" for the chariot rides. I gulped, then turned to the three people behind me, the ones who had dragged me in here.
"So what are your names?" I asked
"I'm Madeline, that's Jake, and this is Willow" the tallest one (Madeline) answered.
Before I could say anything else they led me over too a table and Willow, who had light pink skin and blond straight hair and a few different gold tattoos and piercings scattered around on her body, helped me get out of my dress and took off my anklet promising to keep it close. Then I lied down on a table and they started waxing my legs, arms, and armpits, when they were done I took a bath and they combed out my hair and washed it until my scalp burned. It went in like this for a few hours until they started on my make up. Madeline, who had curly black hair shaved on one side and was super pale with icy blue eyes, got to work sitting me down and telling me to relax. After about 3 hours they were done and this is what it looked like...

Imagine black eyes

My hair was left down flipped to the side all curly and red like normal. Then they left and another women walked in. When I asked she said that her name was Erica and that she was the one who made all the outfits and such. She then put me in a stunning dress and tall black combat boots. Then, handing me my anklet she said "Normally you would be dressed to look like your district for the ride, but I wanted to change things up a bit." "Your anklet should be covered by the dress, I did not know that it was your token or I would have made your dress match but your mentor said that it didn't matter and when he saw the dress he said that it looked like it was made for you, all mysterious and like it was dipped in blood."
"He said that?"
"Yes, and I didn't believe him until I saw you, but he wasn't lying. And I think he has faith that you will win."
"Umm thanks"
"Well let's get you in this dress now..."

"Will I be wearing anything with it?" I said after taking a long look in the mirror.
"No, I didn't want to over do it." She answered.
"Well it looks amazing" I said breathing out a soft sigh of content.
When we walked out into the 4th floor of the building where we were staying in the capital Finnick and Jack were waiting. When I stepped out after Erica they turned around mouths agape and Jackson said "Wow you look so grown up!"
Finnick stuttered a bit before saying "I knew it would look good on you, it makes you seem dark and mysterious but also like a killer."
"Thanks..., I think?" I replied blushing a bit at all the praise.
We stepped into the elevator and rode down to the lobby where we were escorted outside by two peacekeepers. Once they left us at our chariot Finnick said we had a few minutes and started coaching us on what to do.
"Kat, look straight ahead, no emotions, poker face, got it?"
"Yes" I replied.
"And Jackson, look happy and embarrassed by all the praise, I want you to wave and blow kisses and wow the crowd." "Then at the end I want Kat to grab your hand and raise it up, still showing no emotion except for maybe a flicker of a smirk."
"Okay" was all we could get out before the music started letting us know we need to get into our carriages. Jackson, being in a black suit with a blood red tie hoped on up, but Finnick had to practically lift me and by the time I was up there I was blushing furiously. I quickly made my face seem devoid of any emotion and we set off. Our carriage was black and was pulled by black horses whose manes had a red glitter ombré starting from the bottom. I suppose Erica must have had something to do with that. I started thinking about Beatrice who was probably watching right now, and Jade who new that I had been reaped but was not able to come see me after the fact. Then I thought about Alden back home and Leo who were likely sitting alone in the room they share taking turns sneaking out to see the TV that my parents were intently watching. They would never let the boys watch but made sure that I always did because at a young age I showed physical capability and an interest in fighting. I never wanted to be in the games but we knew that if the boys were reaped someone would have to volunteer. So I trained in secret and planned to volunteer if the boys or Beatrice or Braden were ever reaped. By the time I was snapped out of my inner thoughts we were near the end and after a few seconds we were in front. I grabbed Jackson's hand and raised it up smirking slightly just like Finnick had asked. When everyone had gotten to the end I let go and pretend to listen to president Snows speech then kept up the emotionless act until we got back to the beginning, back to Finnick and the others. We slowly got of the carriage, me with the help of Jack and Finnick, then made our way back up to our rooms for the night. Finnick had us go ahead and retire early so I quickly took a shower, took off all the makeup, and I threw on a baggy T-shirt and athletic leggings. As soon as my head hit the pillow I had fallen asleep.
