I Can't (A Hunger Games Fanfiction)

Chapter Five: The Capitol (Part 2)

I look down at my dress. Being from District 1, Ben and I got luxury so I had to be with that theme. My dress hugged my curves, but thankfully not too much with a skirt that poofed out around me like I was stuck in a pastry. The dress was a turquoise blue with silver sparkles sparkled over it.

"It's beautiful," I say.

"And that's not the best of it. Wait until you get out there, then you'll see the best of it. Now hop on," Idoa says. I nod and hop on the chariot with Ben.

The chariot begins to move and I see Idoa give a smile. I smile back. Light suddenly blinds me, but it's not coming from above me; it's coming from under.

I hear sighs and cheers. "Elena! Elena! Elena!" I get it, my dress is a disco ball. I grab Ben's hand, lifting it in the air. He deserves attention, too.

When it's over. Idoa smiles at me. "Great job, both of you. You're sure to get sponsors," she says.

"Thank you, so much," I smile, hugging her.

"You're welcome."

"Here we are," Nickolette says as she pushes the door open. The room has a table in the center with a couch on the side. "Is anyone hungry?" she asks and I yawn.

"I'm tired and I'm not too hungry," I answer. "Ben?" He yawns and shakes his head. "I guess we'll both be going to bed. Good night."

"Good night. Your rooms are down that hall." I walk down the hall and into my room. The room is so large with a large bed in the center. On the side, there is a remote. What is that for? I sit down on the bed and press a button.

The walls change to look like ice. I press the button again and it's open grassland. I smile and lay down for a moment. Sleep takes over.

A/N: I'm going to release the list on Thursday, August 13th, 2015. If you want to make a character for this story, please do so soon. (And if you want to do two, or more, that's fine.)
