Chapter 11 - Prep Team

Y/n's pov

*There is a metal bed with blue curtains on either side of it with some trolleys with different things on it, I see two typical capital people standing there. A woman with long dark blue hair, with a full face of capital make-up, the only colour on her face being blue, she is wearing a blue long sleve top with slightly darker blue trousers. There is a man with shorter red hair, like the woman, a face covered in make-up but with red instead of blue, he's wearing red trousers and a slightly darker red jacket.*

"I am Zabrina, and this is Zenon." The woman says then gesturing towards the man. *They suddenly remove my clothes.*

"Hey, wait, what!" I say, trying to stop them.

"This is just part of the processes, honey." Zabrina says. *They remove the rest of my clothes and put me in a blue hospital gown. Zenon then tries to remove my necklace, but I stop him.*

"No. Not that, that stays." I say, shaking my head, putting my hand out for him to stop.*

"It can stay for now. But if your stylist doesn't want it to stay, it will have to go." Zenon says, and I nod understanding. *I feel one of them put something on my leg, then suddenly lots of pain -*

"OW!" I shout.

"There is a lot more of that coming, so you might want to prepear yourself for this." Zabrina says. *The process is long, boring, but painful. They wax every strand of hair of my body, my face scrunches up, and I tense every time they rip off a strip of the wax. They pluck my eye brows. They aggressively clean my teeth. They then hose me down and wash my now hairless body and hair. After what feels like absolutely ages, they get me to stand up and guide me into another room.*

"Sit on the bench, and your stylist should be here soon." Zabrina says they both now leave. *I sit on the bench and wait for what feels like ages. The door suddenly opens, and a tall woman in a black jumpsuit comes in. As she gets closer, I get a better look at her. She is tall and wearing a sleeveless skin-tight black leather jumpsuit with some tall black stilettos I think they are called, her long brown hair is tied up in a high ponytail, she doesn't look very capitally as you can still see lots of freckles covering her face, she does have some dark green eyeliner though, with some shiny stuff on her eye lids toped of with black mascara.*

"Volunteering for your sister, that was brave." The woman says, standing in front of me.

"Well, she's only 12, so I felt like it was kinda my job, and so far, I don't regret it." I say, trying to act scared towards this new woman.

"I like that, I really do like that. Well, let's get to introductions. I am Natalie. Your y/n, right?" The woman states, pulling me in for a hug.

"Yeah, y/n l/n." I say cautiously, hugging her back.

"I like your necklace, a butterfly." She says, smiling.

"Thanks, my sister has the same one. I wanted it to be my district token as a reminder of her." I say sadly, remembering why im here.

"I like that. And the best part is, it will go well with the outfits so you can keep it on." Natalie says, smiling at me.

"Thank you." I say smiling really big at being allowed to keep it on and not have to take it off.

"Well, let's get you ready, shall we?" She asks.

"This is when you spend ages trying to make me look pretty, right?" I ask.

"No, I don't try to make you pretty. I get inspiration from your district to then enhance your good features, to get the capital citizens to want to sponsor you." She replies, moving her hands as she talks.
