The 48th Hunger Games {Editing} ( #Wattys2017 )

Chapter VII - Chariot Rides

Ace and I walked back into the main room without saying a word. After everything, I find it best not to say anything. We slithered down the hall to find Amelie and Slade arguing with each other. I wonder what they are arguing about. Something stupid I imagine. It took a few minutes until they acknowledged us.

"Where were you two! We are going to be so late!" Amelie shrieked. Over Dramatic much?

"I'm sorry." I quietly responded.

It was obvious that Amelie was panicking. Her hands shook whenever she spoke. "Calm your tits Amelie." Slade snarled. Amelie looked at Slade with pure shock, her expression was amazing. "And for you two, what were you doing?"

I looked at Ace trying to think of something to say. "Nothing." Ace spat out a little too harshly.

"Well you were doing damn something!" Slade yelled back at us.

"Slade! Manners!" Amelie hissed. By now everyone was having a mini competition to see who's voice can counter each others.

"I'm sorry I needed a breather!" I yelled.

"It's not like you are going to die!" I heard Ace's voice crack.

"I can get the peacekeepers here if you want!" Amelie shouted.

"Everyone.. SHUT UP!" Slade finally said. That one word made the room go dead silence. "If we keep up this we will be late for the parade!"

"Sorry." Me and Ace mumbled. Why am I even saying sorry?They should be the ones apologizing for putting us in this game.

I glared at Slade and Amelie. Amelie had her hands on her hips and had a smirk painted on her lips. It looked like she just proved a point but in reality she proved nothing.

I followed Ace and Amelie and Slade out the door to get ready for the Chariot Ride.

We walked into the remake center and met up with our team. They all gave us warm smiles and pulled us into individual rooms. In my prep team there was two females and two males. One of the woman walked up. She was quite short compared to the rest but her face was powdered with white and her skin a tint of purple. Her hair reminded me of a galaxy, it was purple with white stars placed about.

"Hello, I'm Lily, That's Clark, Colin and Kathrynne." Lily said pointing at the rest. "We are your prep team. Now, Clark is going to do your hair, Colin is going to be in charge of your waxing and eyebrows-" Lilly said then cut off by me.

"Waxing?" I raised a eyebrow.

"Honey, it will take two seconds! You will hardly feel it!" Colin smiled. Colin was the most natural looking despite his crazy swirling eyebrows. His skin was almost as white as paper and he shaved off most of his hair from the looks of it. He also had lots of piercings on his ear.

Clark on the other hand had spiky green hair with a ombre of yellow at the ends. He had piercings all over his body. His eyebrows where even shaved off and replaced with piercings.

Kathrynne looks a little more natural. She had dark skin and lots of black and gold make-up. Her eyes were an unnatural color as well. They striked golden and her pupils were thin like a snakes. But she also resembled a quiet cat.

I nodded my head looking at all of them. Just looking at their unnatural body made me question what they will do with mine.

Kathrynne looked at me then grabbed my face with her hands. "She's a little to tan." She started saying then the rest started to chatter.

"We need to clear out those pimples." One of them commented. "Her hands and nails are cracked! How tragic." Another sighed. "This hair has split-ends. What will we do with these?" "Her eyebrows are two bushy- ew! Along with her legs!" Another said and pulled up robe to get a better look. "She has eczema. No wonder her skin is cracked." One of them noticed. I do have eczema. It's pretty common upon District 6. "Oh look at her eyes! No color at all! Contacts?" One of them said peeling my eyelids back to get a better look at my face.
