Its not over until the Mockingjay sings - F. Odair

Chapter 25

4 months later

Today, Lea's victory tour started, she had been dreading this moment ever since she got back from her games. She didn't really want to go around and tell other families how she is the reason that their children are dead.

"Finn, I don't want to do it, Can't I just skip it?" Lea asked

"Unfortunately, you can't, but don't worry it will be over soon," Finnick said as he placed a kiss on her forehead. They were waiting outside of their house for Tyler as he was coming as well since he was her mentor. A few minutes later, he finally came out

"You ready?" Tyler asked

"Yeah but I am really not looking forward to it," Lea said while they were walking towards the train station.

"I know, It's not the most fun thing to do, but you have to unfortunately," Tyler said. "But it is pretty easy, you start at District 12, then you go down, you skip four and end up in the capitol for some ridiculous over-the-top Capitol style party," Tyler explained.

"Seriously, another Party. Don't they have anything better to do?" Lea asked, clearly annoyed.

"I know, but It's important to get the people in the Capitol to like you, in a few months, you will have to mentor for our next tributes and if they like you, it will be easier to get sponsors for them," Finnick said.

"And another thing, which I know, you two won't be thrilled about, but you can't be together in the Capitol, you have to pretend like you aren't," Tyler said.

"What why?" Lea asked confused.

"Finnick is very liked by the Capitol women and you are very liked by the Capitol men and a little flirting here and there can really help to get sponsors for our next tributes," "How do you think, Finnick got you so many sponsors last year?" Tyler said and Lea just looked at Finnick with an annoyed look in her eyes. She knew he only did that to help her, but it still made her Jealous, knowing that he was flirting with other women.

"Baby, you know don't have to worry, you know I fully belong to you. I think I have proven that more than enough already, I even did, last night," Finnick said while winking at her, Lea simply started blushing.

"Gross, you too, I don't want to know about that, in my mind, you are both innocent children," Tyler says. Finnick and Lea just exchanged a look and a smirk was visible on Finnick's face.

"Oh come on Tyler, don't be a prude," Finnick said.

"Yeah, maybe it is time you get yourself a girlfriend, there are plenty of people interested in you," Lea said.

"Lea, your friends are not 'Plenty of People'," Tyler said and Lea just rolled her eyes.

When they got onto the train, Ella and Tigris were already there, waiting for them.

"Tigris, I didn't know you would be here, I am so glad to see you," Lea said as she ran to Tigris to hug her.

"Of course, I am here, Who else is going to style you, from now on I am your stylist for all Capitol occasions," Tigris said

"It's good to see you as well, Ella," Lea said to Ella

"Now, Lea you must be on your best behavior, I don't want any outbursts," Ella said. "Of course not Ella, I will try my best," Lea said. Ella was like a programmed Capitol robot, who had to make sure that everything went perfectly. She cared more about everything going well than about Lea. After all, she had a reputation in the Capitol to uphold.
