The Hunger Games (DISCONTINUED/EDITING)

Capitol, Here We Come

I do not own anything.I am writing this using some things from the book, like the word "the" or "says". :) READ ON!

My prep team, Venia, Flavius, and Octavia, form a circle my body taking off unwanted hair, which I would rather keep insteady of have pain soar through me. Gossiping away, Venia and Flavius babble away with high pitched voices. It's either the prices of clothing or make up they just bought. Constantly, "You should have seen her," or, "The prices are much cheaper at Guies shop though."

"Stand up." orders Octavia, a plump woman with her entire body dyed a pale pea green. The three circle my body when Flavius says,

"Now you acually look like a human being!"

"Like I ever looked human before." I say.

"Well, now you don't look horrible at all!" says Flavius. "Lets call Cinna!" The three dart out of the room and come back with a man named Cinna. He acually looks, normal. He has short brown hair and is wearing normal clothing. He just has some metallic gold eyeliner on. He circle my naked body and finally says, "Why don't you put on your robe and we'll have a chat." I pull on my paper thin robe and follow Cinna into a white room. I take a seat and he takes a seat across from me. He pushes a button and our lunch appears. I look at it and suddenly feel rage build up in me. Not for me though. For all the starving children back in District 12.

"How despicable we must seem to you." he says. I forgot he was there. "No matter. So Arianna, about your costume for the opening ceremonies. My partner, Portia, is the stylist for your fellow tribute, Peeta. Our current thought is to dress you in complementary coustumes. As you know, it's customary  to reflect the flavor of your district."

"So I'm gonna be in a baggy miners costume."

"Not exactally. You see, Portia and I think the miners outfit is over done. So rather than focus on the coal mining, we focus on the coal. And what do we do with coal?"

"Burn it?"

"Exactally."

Peeta and I are both in black leotards, from ankle to neck. I have black knee high boots on and silver highlights in my dark brown hair. I have a black cape on with a matching headpiece and I have little make up on.

 "So what do you think of the costumes?" I ask Peeta.

"I'll rip off your cape if you rip off my."

"Deal. If that doesn't work, stop, drop, and roll." he gives me a weak smile and Cinna walks over to us.

"If we're burned alive, I'm blaming you." I say pointing at Cinna.

"Don't worry. It's just a little synthetic fire Portia and I came up with. You'll be perfectly safe. The ceremony begins and he lights our capes and headpieces.

"It tickles." I say giggling.

"Remember, heads high. Smiles. They're going to love you.!" Cinna walks off but comes up with one more idea. He motions for Peeta and I to hold hands. We awkwardly hold hands and our chariot is off.  All eyes are on us. I catch a glimpes of us on the giant screen. Breathtaking. We both look amazing. Chants of, "Arianna!" or "Peeta!" fills around us. Other district tributes give us glares that I think are supposed to scare us.

I wave to the crowd and some one tosses me a rose. I catch it and smell the strong scent. I blow a kiss back in the direction of where it was tossed from. We  soon arrive at President Snow's mansion. The room becomes dark and the anthem soon follows. Then we exit into the Training Center. Effie escorts us to our level. Each district has their own floor. Our level is twelve. We climb abord onto the elevator and are rising above the ground at an amazing speed.

I enter my quarters and take off my clothes and take a hot shower. soon Effie calls us to dinner soon. Cinna, Portia, and Peeta are looking over the Capitol. We're served dinner and conversations start. I'm now blocking out their conversations now. I eat my food and Peeta and I walk together to our rooms.

"Did you hear a word Haymitch said at dinner?"

"No. What did he say?"

"He said for us to train together, you should know since you know everything."

"I do know and I just wanted to hear it to be sure." I'm about to enter my quarters when I say something I didn't intend to say. "I'm acually not sure on what you were going to say that one night though." then I enter my quarters and shut the door. I stare at my bed and finally put on a red nightgown. I crawl into bed and fall asleep.

I wake up to morning light shining on my face. I crawl out of bed and find an outfit layed out for me. I take a quick shower and put on the outfit. I walk to the dining room to find it empty. Not even an Avox is in here. I decide to serve myself. I fill my plate with eggs, sausage, pancakes and help myself to a glass of orange juice. I eat slowly and others start to fill the room. Soon it's 10:00 a.m. and we're off to the training center.

"So what should we start with?" Peeta asks.

"Knot station?"

"Sure." We walk over and learn basic knots. I'm a master at tying knots. Soon I become so confused in my knots I get trapped in one. I'm hanging upside down and every pair of eyes are on me.

"Well, this didn't end up well. Can somebody help me down?" I ask. A girl named Glimmer from District One throws a knife at the rope and the next thing I know is that I'm on the ground.

"Thank you!" I yell across the room. Glimmer has a discusted look on her face. Peeta helps me up and we go station to station. We arrive at weights and all the boys are here. I felt like showing off so I got me a 500 pound weight.

"You should stick to shopping." says Cato from District Two.

I easily lift the weight off the ground and gently set it back down. "You should stick to shopping." I say mimicking his voice. I give my sweetest smile and move to box and arrows. I hit the bulls eye. In the corner of my eye I see a little girl watching us.

"Your name's Rue, right?" she gives a small nod and goes to the station next to us

The following day it's the same. And the day after that. When It comes to priviate sessions I wish the person good luck by saying, "Break a leg!" or "Make sure that you don't get your knickers in a twist!"  When it's my turn I'm the last one.

"Don't blow it, Arianna." Then I enter then room.

So, how do ya like it? I don't really know if this is a cliff hanger or not, so whatever. Please remember to COMMENT, VOTE, or FAN ME!!! :D
