The Odds Aren't In My Favor

It's All For Show

The next day, I wake up to Escara shaking me.

"Feather, we've got to get you up!" She says happily. "You've got a big night tonight!"

I groan and try to cling to my bed, but she's actually pretty strong and so, I'm pulled out of bed by force.

Although, when she tries to make me stand up, she struggles a little.

Then a familiar voice enters my room.

"Let me help." I hear Finnick say to Escara.

"As long as you can have her out in the elevator in five minutes, you can do whatever you want!" She says leaving the room.

I keep my eyes closed, but I can tell that he's smirking.

"That sounds like a tempting offer." He says and my eyes shoot open.

His smirk is evident on his face as his eyes gaze into mine.

"As long as I have you out in the elevator in five minutes, I can do whatever I want." He smirks.

My eyes widen and he laughs.

"You are very tempting though, Sleeping Beauty." He says winking.

I blush a little bit and he pulls me up, into him.

He smiles at me. "Brush your hair, and your teeth, put some different clothes on, you have five minutes." He says brushing a stay strand of my hair back behind my ear.

He then releases me and I go into the bathroom.

When I come back out, dressed and all, he smiles.

"With a minute to spare." He says smiling as he takes my hand, leading me out to the elevator.

Mags watches us as he leads me into the elevator where Escara is waiting.

"Now, be a good girl for your stylist." Finnick says and I smile rolling my eyes.

Escara smile at us both and as the elevaor doors begin to close, she looks at me.

"Man, he's really got it for you, doesn't he?" She says and I bite my lips, blushing.

I'm taken back to the hospital looking room that I was in the other day.

Escara smiles at me. "Tonight you are going to be water."

I look at her quite confused. "I'm sorry?"

"The dress you're wearing, you're going to be water." She says smiling.

I sigh.

Oh great, now we're getting into the fishy stuff.

"Young lady, I'll dress you up as a fish if you don't look more excited." She warns.

"Is that the next outfit I wear? A fish?" I ask.

She laughs. "Nope, never."

She and the team set to work on my hair and makeup.

I don't get to see it until they're completely finished though and after I put on my dress, Escara leads me to a full length body mirror.

My eyes instantly widen at my appearance.

The dress, a medium light shade of blue, clung to my body until the top met the skirt.

Then, the skirt flowed freely, cascading down me and making the lighter blue chiffon almost look like I was actually wearing water.

It was sleeveless, but so beautiful.

Then I noticed my hair.

My hair was in a elegant braid and little white starfish looking accessories were placed neatly it in.
