The Capitol's machinations unfolded with ruthless precision as Prim found herself thrust into the labyrinthine process that would precede her journey into the arena. The enormous glass tube awaited her, a vessel that would transport her into the heart of the Hunger Games spectacle.

As Prim stepped into the cold, sterile room, the air filled with anticipation. The Capitol's stylists and medical personnel moved around her like silent shadows, their efficiency a stark contrast to the emotional maelstrom within her. The tracker, a sinister reminder of the Capitol's control, was deftly injected into Prim's arm. The pain was fleeting, but the weight of the device was a constant reminder that every move, every heartbeat, was now subject to scrutiny.

In the small chamber where Katniss had once prepared for the arena, Prim stood as helpless and unknowing as her mother. Aurelia and a team of skilled hands worked to transform her appearance once more, weaving a tapestry of artifice around her. the outfit they adorned her was nothing more than a thermal top, cargo trousers, black boots and a water proof jacket. Prim met her reflection in the mirror, the girl who had once been the sister of the Mockingjay. The weight of that legacy bore down on her, but she steeled herself against the pressure. She was not Katniss; she was Primrose, and in that distinction lay a reservoir of untapped strength.

The glass tube beckoned, a portal to the abyss. Prim's heart raced as the cold metal doors closed around her. The whirring of machinery enveloped her, and she felt herself being lifted into the heart of the Capitol's grand arena. The ascent was swift, the transition from confinement to open air disorienting. As the tube reached its zenith, Prim caught a glimpse of the vast expanse that awaited her—a twisted landscape of dangers and adversaries.

The tube released her into the blinding light of the arena. The Capitol's anthem echoed through the air, a haunting melody that heralded the commencement of the 95th Hunger Games. The crowd in the Capitol erupted in cheers, their enthusiasm a stark contrast to the impending brutality that Prim faced. Prim stood on the platform, knowing enougth, to know not to come off it, as she looked around the other tributes appeared, finnick being only 4 tributes away. they were surrounded by the untamed wilderness of the arena. The cameras focused on her, broadcasting her image to the nation. The reality of the Games hit her with a force she had never known before. The weight of her parents' legacy, the promise to protect Finnick, and the Capitol's unrelenting gaze—all converged in this moment of solitary vulnerability.

As Prim surveyed the ominous landscape, a sense of foreboding settled over her. The arena awaited, a theater of cruelty where survival was not just a matter of skill but a testament to the defiance that burned within. The Capitol reveled in the spectacle, and Prim, a pawn in their grand design, steeled herself for the trials that lay ahead. The cameras continued to roll, capturing every nuance of Prim's expression. In the Capitol, the audience held its breath, eager for the drama to unfold. As the horn sounded and everyone ran to the middle, she knew she had to get something. initally she went for the bow but the girl from 1 got there first. so she turned around, a new goal in mind: Finnick

prim picked up a farely large bag as she ran but finnick was nowhere to be seen. she even shouted his name a few times whitch caught the attention of 3 tributes who looked like they wanted a little primrose snack. so prim was forced to venture into the woods without her little brother.
