Prim's story (HG fanfic)

Chapter 5: The Interview

Today is the interview with Caesar flickerman. Effie told me to go to the dressing room to meet Cinna and his assistants to dress me up. I went into the room and the three started babbling about the Capitol and the Games while putting makeup and different products on me .

Then Cinna came in and shooo-d them away 

"So, what am I wearing today?" I asked curiously while eying a bag which probably contains my dress.

" You'll see, Close your eyes" He replied as he added the final touches to my makeup and did my hair.

He asked me to put my hands out, and I did as I was told. The fabric felt absolutely wonderful, extremely soft to the touch

I opened my eyes and it was a red knee- length cocktail dress. I slipped into the heels he had laid out for me. The black lace high heels were absolutely marvelous. I was never one to care about fashion, but this was absolutely marvelous. 

"Thank you Cinna!" I exclaimed

"You are welcome, I just want you to get as many sponsors as possible, Oh! before I forget, You have to twirl on stage!" he said

Confused, I just nodded, because I know Cinna has many tricks up his sleeves.

It was time, I went to wait for my turn in the waiting room 

I spotted Sam and sat next to him. Again, we were matching, he was wearing a black suit with designs of flames at the corners.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, it was my turn.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Put our hands together for  Primrose Everdeen!" Caesar's voice boomed through the area.

I walked to the stage confidently and waved to the people while going to my seat, because I knew that my every movement would help me get sponsors .

"Hello Prim, Is it okay if i call you that? " he asked politely

"Hi, definitely" I replied cheerfully

" So, Prim tell me, how do you feel being so young and going to the games"he asked me

" Well, I hope I make it back to my family, and I feel... umm... i don't know, I've got mixed feelings" I replied, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, nice answer.So, tell me, if you and Sam were the last ones left in the arena, would you kill him? To win?" Caesar asked

"Well, that's a hard one, Sam is like my older brother but I also want to go home, so, I guess I'll let time decide." I replied

"Ok, I have one more question for you, what did you possibly do to get a 12 in the results , you are the first to do so and not to mention you are just twelve years old" Caesar asked

I looked over to the gamemakers, they shook their head as if saying 'no', so I replied "I'm sorry I'm not supposed to tell."

"Aargh , too bad then" he said

Then the buzz sounded and I had to go.

Next was Sam's turn.

He also walked in confidently, waving at the audience.

"Hello Sam" Caesar said

"Hey" Sam replied casually

After asking a few boring questions, Caesar finally asked an interesting one. 

"So, I'm going to ask you the same question I asked Prim, if both of you are left in the arena would you kill her in order to get back home?" He asked Sam

Sam actually didn't reply with the same answer as myself,

He said, "I would rather kill myself than kill Prim. She looks exactly like Alexis, I suppose you remember her, she got killed in the last Hunger Games.  Since Alexis didn't make it home, I would more than love Prim to."

I was shocked that he would die in order to save me.

"Ok, that's sad", Caesar said with no feeling," I have one more question for you , what is your skill?"

"I would prefer to keep that a secret, you will find out soon enough anyway." he replied. I could sight the careers complain between each other.

The buzzer sounded, and Sam left without another word with tears rolling down his cheeks.
