ALLIES & CEREMONY

I gap at the area then I run around excitingly. I run down the stairs and run into a girl my age with dark skin, brown eyes,and black hair. She says sorry but I stop her from leaving. " Allies?" I ask and she nods. " What's your name?" I ask. " Rue " she says. I run to floor 11 thinking that's her floor. I find the boy tribute up there. " Hello?" I ask. He turns around and smiles softly. " I'm Thresh " he says in a deep voice. " Prim, Primrose Everdeen." I say. " Nice to meet you Prim " he says and smiles wider. " Allies with me and Rue. " I say and he nods. I run up to my floor and sit there on the balcony. Peeta walks up behind me and sits next to me. " You have a lot of skills Prim. You can do this." he says soothingly. I shake my head and say " Like what. ". " Your Dad's archery. Running. Climbing. Maybe even knives. " he says. I nod and get up and walk in the apartment. I go to sleep and dream nightmares. A man with dark skin like Rue and Thresh wakes me up. " I'm Cinna. Your stylist. " he says. " So your here to make me look pretty?" I say. " No I'm here to make an impression. " he says and smiles. He gets me ready and leads me into the chariot next to Peeta. " I'll rip of your cape you'll rip off mine?" Peeta says to me. I nod and he grabs my hand. This will make me look weak. I let go of his hand and glare at him. " You're making me look weak. " I say an he shrugs. Cinna comes over and lights our capes and headdresses on fire. It tickles. I sigh in relief an hear Cinna say " It works. ". He tells us to hold hands and we do. We start going out for our 20 minute ride. The crowd goes wild. I start acting all happy and smiling and waving the crowd. I blow some kisses and the crowd tries to catch them. " Why do they like us so much?" I ask Peeta. He nods towards the screen. I gasp at the sight we're completely breath taking. We out faces glowing in the moonlight it looks beautiful. We get to the circle and I see a Career give me a dirty look. I think he name is Clove ,but I'm not sure. We listen to President Snow do his same speech he does every year. We take the ride back and I start to let go of Peeta's hand. He is cutting off the circulation in my hand. " Please don't let go I think I'll fall out of this thing. " he says. I nod and grab his hand once more. It's nice and warm. We stop an we get off the chariot. I look at Peeta and see the bruise on his face from Haymitch. I stand all the way on my tippy-toes and I kiss him right on the bruise. He smiles and says " Thank you Prim". We walk in the elevator and we ride all the way up. I skip to my room and I change into nice silk clothes. I put on my pin and I walk out the door to the dining table. I sit down and start eating. Peeta comes over soon and smiles at me then sits down.
