As soon as I had returned back to my room, I was greeted with the screeches of Celia. It wasn't pleasant in the slightest. She rambled on and one about my bloody nose and the way that I clutched my side. Saying, "How could you ruin your face? Your interview is coming up!" and "Couldn't I wait for the Games to get into a fight?"
I had snarked back a comment about me, 'trying my best to live so she could suck it'. Those comments earned me a disappointed look from Pixie, but a smile and thumbs up from Klaus and Ares. Needless to say, it wasn't my best moment. But, I felt like it was deserved.
"Gem of Panem..Mighty city..Through the ages you shine anew..We humbly kneel..To your ideal, and pledge our love to you.."
Taking a deep breath, I slip on the last layer of the dress, tying the gold string in a bow to keep it in place. I felt tired. Defeated almost. The Games are gonna be starting soon. I had spent so much time enjoying my time here, I forgot about the Games.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I frowned at the girl staring back at me. Bags under the eyes. A slightly red nose. The girl that was staring back at me. She was broken. She was defeated. She was awaiting her death.
Lowering my eyes, I take my time inspecting my dress, enjoying every little detail that was put in place. It was a beautiful shade of a ruby red color with small gold designs sewn onto the skirt and corset. I liked the contrast of colors. It was different. Unique. It would definitely make me stand out from the others. Hopefully, in a good way.
"Gem of Panem, heart of Justice..Wisdom crowns your marble brow..You give us light, you reunite..To you we make our vow.."
The dress left my shoulders uncovered, but flowed down into an elegant semi-sweetheart neckline. Lucky, covering up everything that needed to be covered. The dress' waist was wide, but not too wide. It perfectly accentuates my waist and reaches all the way down to my ankles with a train. It was nice and flowy, and gave off an elegant vibe.
Covering the entirety of the dress were gold and red jewels, making my white gloves contrast against the bright red of the dress. Matching the gold theme of the gems, I wore simple gold earrings with a matching gold bracelet. I was given gold heels decorated with small rubies, making me at least six inches taller than before.
'I guess Pixie really wants to stick to a red and gold theme..' I thought.
Letting out a small sigh, I shut my eyes and remember all of the dreadful outfits that the kids from District 10 kids had been given. Previous designer's liked to keep a cycle of cow print and brown for the tributes, so seeing them dressed up as cows or cowboy's was common. Rarely were they seen dressed in red, or any other colors for that matter; it was very uncommon.
