Chapter 6

Katniss pov

Today is the day of the interviews, the last big event before the games. "We're trying to find an angel for Prim. We thought about the innocent angel, but I think it's clear she's grown out of that. "That should be your angel," I say. "What," Prim says. "You're going to show the capital how much you've grown. We spend the rest of the day getting ready with training and practice questions before I know it's time to get ready. I wonder what Prim's stylist is doing with her. I always get anxious when we're separated

Prim pov.
I sit like a statue as my hair is brushed and pulled at to say I don't like this would be a huge understatement "Here's your dress" Artero says I slip it on and look at myself in the mirror. My hair has been curled and is resting on my shoulders and there's a certain gold tint to it I can't explain my make-up is light-dark lipstick and red blush that brings out my cheekbones I look a bit older than 14 my dress is dark black with swirls of black designed on it. I wonder what Katniss will look like. What will Rory look like? We walk out, and I see Katniss. She's wearing a beautiful wedding dress, and her hair is done up in a fancy braided bun. She looks stunning but I know the wedding dress wasn't her or Cinna's choice. Peeta is wearing a white suit and Rory, Rory is wearing a dark suit with a redshirt. His hair has been slightly spiked, and he looks very handsome. "Prim," Katniss says. " You look so beautiful."Not half as much as you," I say. I look over at Rory, who's staring at me with his mouth agape. I smile and shake my head, and he quickly closes his mouth. I'm going first in our group. I tune out the interviews. I catch Finnick making a special message to Annie, but my guess is a lot of women think he's talking to them. "And from our district 12 group, the sister of the girl on fire and the princess of embers the lovely Primrose Everdeen!" I walk out with a smile, and I'm nearly deafened by the cheering crowd. I shake Caesar's hand "Welcome Primrose" "Please", I say, call me Prim. "Prim," He says "You look gorgeous" "Well I can't take all the credit for that my prep team and stylist have been great" "Of course," He says "Now this is your second year being reaped what was it like hearing your name for the second time" "Last time it was a shock, at least this time I knew what to expect" he nods "And how do you feel about competing against your sister" "Who said we're competing against each other", I say "I don't see it that way, the four of us aren't just allies we're a family and nothing is stronger than that" The audience awes I look over at Katniss who nods with approval. "How do you feel about the rest of the tributes? A lot of them have been here before". "I think we're all human, and we all deserve to go home. "Well you're clearly not the innocent young girl we all saw just over a year ago," He says. "I'm not", not fully. "I guess you could argue I am in the sense that I don't want to fight or hurt anyone it's not like I won't defend myself if the time comes down to it, but you have to understand I help people, I save people it's what I do, this goes against everything I believe in" Caesar looks like he doesn't know what to say. "Well", he says we have time for just one last question "How do you feel about your score" I feel good about it" He nods "and what do you think it says it says about you" "That I can run and fight with the best of them and that I shouldn't be underestimated" The crowd cheers and Ceaser holds my hand in the air. "Primrose Everdeen!" The crowd cheers, and I'm released to go stand next to Chaff. Rory is next

Rory pov
Damn Prim looks hot, my palms sweat every time I'm near her, and my chest tightens. "You're up", Haymitch says, breaking me out of my thoughts, I didn't even hear Ceaser call my name. I walk onto the stage and wave to the cheering crowd. I give Caesar a firm handshake. "Hello Rory", he says with a huge grin "My you're a strapping young man. How old are you?" "15", I say "And you're related to the Everdeen's, correct" I almost say no but then I remember the cover story for Katniss and Gale they're supposed to be cousins. "Yes, I say "We're cousins '''' You must be very close to your cousins to want to follow them to the games but can't them have all the fun can we?" "No", I say, I guess not. "How did your family react" "They were very upset", I say

Flashback
I sit inside the justice building when my family comes rushing in, and my mother runs to me and hugs me crying into my shirt. "Son, why would you do this?" "I...I had to, I say. "I couldn't let Prim go" I look at Gale, and I can tell he understands. "I hug Vick and playfully put him in a headlock he laughs and then gives me a sad look. I lift Posy in a hug, and she giggles. I set her down and walked over to Gale. I reach out my hand to shake his but he pulls me in for a hug this surprises me because I and Gale have never had a hugging relationship he pulls back and nods at me, I nod back a peacekeeper comes and takes them out.

"Well", Caesar says "I wish you the very best" "He dismisses me. The crowd cheers, and I walk up the stairs and stand next to Prim.

Katniss pov.
"You know her as the girl on Fire, the capital favorite Katniss Everdeen!" I walk out onto the stage, the crowd cheering and screaming. "Now Katniss", Caesar said, "This is a very big and very emotional night for everyone, wouldn't you say?" Oh, don't start crying on me now Ceaser", I say with a smirk. "I can't make any promises, you know me" I laugh "I wouldn't believe you even if you did" We share a laugh before his face turns serious. "Now Katniss, are we too assume that is the dress you would've worn to your wedding" "Yes president snow thought everyone would want to see it" "Well as usual he was right," Caesar says. "Will you do us the honors"? I begin to twirl, and my dress starts to transform from a wedding dress into a black feather dress. I raise my arms to reveal the wings. The crowd cheers louder than ever "Oh my" Caesar says "it's like a bird it's like an uh. "A Mockingjay", I say. "One last question," He says after the crowd dies down. "You volunteered for the last games for your sister, and we were all very moved by that. What's it like competing with her this year" "She's going to win", I say. "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure my sister goes home" Caesar smiles at me "You're a very good sister", he says. Caesar dismisses me, and I go and stand next to Rory.
