Lion Hearted Girl

Chapter 5

«A Makeover To Remember.»

"AGH!" I shouted as my legs were being 'waxed'. They say my legs aren't that bad, but oh no! I have to be put through all of this!

My stylist team is Venia, a woman with aqua hair and gold tattoos above her eyebrows, Flavius, he has orange corkscrew locks and applies a fresh coat of purple lipstick to his mouth and Octavia, a plump woman whose entire body has been dyed a pale shade of pea green.

"Last one Sweetie." Venia says looking at me.

"Please don't call me Sweetie." I lay down and grab the pillow that was behind me. I squeeze it as the final wax strip is pulled off my leg. Octavia takes the pillow off me to find that I squeeze so hard it split.

"A strong one here. She might stand a chance." She giggled.

The next thing they did was put me in a weird liquid, which stung, and washed me. Then they started to inspect every part of my body while I awkwardly stood there naked.

"Yes, this isn't awkward at all." I said sarcastically.

"A fighter as well." Octavia said in pride before throwing a towel over which I cover myself with.

"She almost looks like a human being!" Flavius said. I was a little insulted.

"I come from district 12, I hunt and roll around in dirt. I think 'almost' is a massive improvement." I said sitting down.

"Yes, you are very unlucky in that. But no matter, after Cinna is done with you!" Octavia squeals.

"We will be back soon to do your makeup for the opening parade." Venia said.
