Peeta and I got seated in the control room for the Opening Ceremony. I need to see "Loelle". I can't wrap my head around this. She looks exactly like Althea. Why would she use the name Loelle? It was used last year and the real Loelle died 40 years ago. This makes no sense. As I am thinking Peeta wraps his arm around me. I jump, I forgot he was in here. "Are you ready?" he asks. "Yes" I lie "how long do we have?". He glances at the clock. " Um, about 10 minutes". Perfect. " I will be right back" I say as I head for the door. "Where are you going?" He asks.
" Bathroom" I lie again and walk out of the control room. I go to the chariots and find "Loelle". I go up to her and whisper in her ear " come with me, we need to talk". She obediently follows me to a small storage closet I found last week, no cameras. I closed the door and turned on her so fast that I almost knocked her over. "What the hell" I hiss " I know your not Loelle Fielders"! She stares at me like an innocent gazelle then realized I know the truth, or part of it. "Ok, I'm not Loelle Fielders" she says " my real name is Alexis Ivory".
I think for a minute then realize who is in front of me. That's why she looks like Althea! "Your Althea's twin Arn't you?" I ask although I already know the answer. She grins an evil looking grin "wow it took you that long"? It's a rhetorical question, of course it took me that long. "I am going to kill you and every one else involved in these stupid Capital Games!" She screams.
"What?" I ask, surprised by her tone "why"?
" You are the reason my sister is dead, and you are going to pay!" She hisses.
I walked out of the closet and back to the control room in shock. As I walk in I wipe all emotion from my face as Peeta comes up to me and says " where have you been, we have two minutes, and don't say the bathroom!?" I stare into his blue eyes trying to think of an excuse when he adds " whatever, we don't have time, tell me later. Are you ready"? I nod my head in response and he starts by saying into a microphone " first chariot in 3.2.1" and he pressed a button that gives the horses a small shock, telling them to go. He does this to all the horses until the last one is in the city circle. They all do their lap around and when they are in their spots I say " President Paylor, your up". She stands up and walks to a podium and says into a loud microphone
"Welcome, welcome, guests of the districts and the Capital and tributes. We thank you for the sacrifice you have made and hope that the odds will be ever in your favour." With that Peeta presses the button again and the horses exit.
------------------page break-------------
As Peeta and I are walking around the chariots talking to mentors, I see Alexis staring at me with fury and hate in her eyes. Peeta looks over and Alexis looks away. He must see the fear in my eyes because he asks me What did you see"?
I shake my head meaning not now but later. He nods and resumes talking. As we stroll over to Alexis' chariot, I begin slowly hiding behind Peeta. I know it's childish but I'm scared of this girl. Peeta is talking to Alexis' mentor, Jolde I see Serena talking to Alexis. They both look at me enraged.Oh crap. I'm so dead. They both want me dead. They both hate me, and everyone knows it. I need to be on full alert at all times. How will I ever get through these games?!
