"That's Cordelia Benham and Finnick Odair right?" ┊"Yes, She won he games at 16 in...
It's now reaping day. Today is the day that one unlucky victor is going to be put back into the games. Today is the day that the one promise we were told was broken.
Every victor has agreed to not volunteer and just let the one unlucky person to be picked. I chose not to follow that rule. Knowing that my brother, my fiance, or my father figure could be going into the games without me there makes my heart sink to the pit of my stomach.
I'm sitting in front of my small vanity. The color that was once on my face has faded and now I am a shell of the person I was a couple months ago. I must stay strong. If not for me, for them.
My makeup is light. Light eyeshadow, blush, mascara, and some lip gloss. My hair is down and wavy with some hair twisted back to make a crown. I braided some pieces and added gold charms to it.
I stand up and walk to the bedroom door, putting on my brown heeled boots. I called Tigris last night and asked her what I should wear. She told me to play into the pirate theme, so I chose a white dress with a brown corset and I added some bracelets. The final thing I added was the necklace Finnick bought me a while ago and my engagement ring on a chain around my neck.
I open the door and take in the sound of silence in the house. No one wants to talk about how bad the rest of today is going to be because the chances of one of us getting picked in this house is 3/8. Not very good chances if you ask me.
When I walk into the kitchen the only people I see are Finnick and Maisy who are eating a bowl of cereal. Maisy is wearing a black sundress with lace added on and a black headband. Finnick is wearing a knitted sweater I bought for him a while back.
"Morning." I say, playing with Maisy's hair. She mumbles it back to me.
I walk over to Finnick and give him a hug. I feel him kiss my hair and we just stand like that for a while. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I see Ara and Caspian. He is wearing a white button up and black shorts.
