Prim's Games Book 2

Chapter 5

Once we head upstairs my prep team forces me into the bathroom and hands me some soaps to use. I probably spend about 30 minutes in the bathroom before I hear a knocking at the door.

"Prim, darling! Are you done?" It's Venia.

"Almost! I need a few more minutes!" I reply.

"Okay!" She says.

I quickly rinse myself off and slip on a robe and slippers. I step outside the bathroom to find that my prep team has set up the room by placing a chair in front of a mirror with all of their products.

"Take a seat, dear." Octavia says.

They practically shove me into the chair and immediately start working on my makeup. Flavius dabs some white eyeshadow and some pink blush onto my face while Venia works on my hair. She puts my hair into two French braids. I glance down at Octavia and notice that she's painting my nails a creamy type of white and adds some bright white snowflakes.

I hear a knock at the door.

"May I come in?" It's Cinna.

"Oh, yes, we were just finishing up." Flavius says.

Cinna steps inside and holds a bag that probably contains my outfit.

"Put this on." He says as he pulls out white stockings and a white dress.

"Okay." I reply.

I put on the stockings and then slip on the beautiful white dress, which has fur at the bottom of the dress, -it reaches down to my knees- and at the ends of my sleeves. Then I put on the white boots that have fur on the inside.

"Cinna...I love it." I whisper as I run into his arms for a hug.

"I knew you would." I can feel him smile into my hair.

"Knockety knockety! It's time to go!" Effie squeals at the door. (A/N: is knockety a word? 😂)

"We'll be there in a moment!" Cinna yells.

I nervously glance at Cinna.

"You'll be fine. Okay?" He says softly.

I nod and give him a small hug.

"Thank you."

"No problem. Now go with Effie."

I quickly walk out of the room to be met with Effie.

"Come on!" She exclaims.

I jump down the stairs and am met by Katniss and my mother.

"Prim, you look beautiful." Says Katniss as she gives me a hug.

"Thank you." I smile.

"Go outside!" Effie practically screams.

"Sorry." I whisper as I quietly wait behind the door.

"Remember to smile!" She squeals as she shoves me out the door.

I try my best not to trip over the concrete steps when I suddenly see cameras flashing in my face.

"Let's welcome the victors of the 74th Hunger Games, Peeta Mellark and Primrose Everdeen!" Caesar announces from the Capitol.

I suddenly see Peeta stepping out of his house. I run over to him and he picks me up and spins me around. Then he starts to tickle me. I keep screaming as I'm erupting into a fit laughter. But after a few minutes of laughter I hear someone clearing their throat.

"Let's continue, shall we?" Says Caesar.

Peeta and I nod and he quickly puts me down.

"So, how has life been for you two?"

"It's been pretty good. We're just preparing for our Victory Tour." Peeta says.

"Any love life, Peeta?" Caesar grins.

"Well..." He stops himself.

"Come on! Spill the beans!" He smiles even more.

Peeta sighs. "Okay, I'm dating Prim's older sister, Katniss."

"Awww! That's sweet! And how do you feel about that, Prim?" He asks.

"I think that it's wonderful!" I say and smile the way Cinna told me.

"You're too sweet!" He laughs.

I giggle.

"Well, that's it for today folks!"

Caesar signs off and Effie ushers us inside of my house.

"Okay, go say goodbye to your family, Prim!" She says.

I nod and run into the living room where my mother and Katniss await me with their open arms. I hug my mother first and then go to Katniss. A few tears slip down my cheeks.

"Hey, hey... Shhhhh. Don't cry." She wipes away my tears.

I sniffle.

"Oh! I forgot to give you this! It's your Mockingjay pin." She hands me the pin.

"Thank you Katniss. I love you." I say as my voice cracks.

"Your welcome, Little Duck. I love you too." She replies.

"Time to go!" Effie yells.

"Bye mom! By Katniss! I love you!" I say as I run out the door. But then I accidentally crash into Effie and we both fall onto the ground.

"Ouch! Primrose Everdeen!" She screams.

She must be really mad to have used my full name.

Then I realize that her wig has basically fallen off. I stare at her head and notice a tuff of blond hair.

"Hey, you okay? " Peeta asks as he pulls me up.

"Yeah, I think that I just scratched my elbow."

Effie quickly tries to adjust her wig, and when she fails, she says, "Prim! Be more careful!"

"Sorry." I mumble.

"Just go inside of the train." She huffs.

I nod and Peeta and I walk to the train station.

"Forget about Effie; she's just over dramatic." Peeta says.

I laugh. "You're probably right."

We step inside of the train and are met by an unsteady Haymitch.

"Hey guyssss. The party's here." Haymitch says with a slur in his voice.

"You're drunk, Haymitch." Peeta laughs.

"You got that right." He grabs another drink from one of the carts.

"Go change and get ready for dinner!" Effie says as she walks inside. I notice that she has finally fixed her wig.

I walk to my room and change into a long red T-shirt with some black leggings and a pair of red flats. I leave my braids alone and quickly wash my face. Then I head over to the dining cart where we eat a meal that consists of rice and chicken. For dessert, we eat ice cream and cheesecake. After our meal, Effie tells us to go to bed because we have a big, big day tomorrow. But then I realize something as I start to fall asleep.

We're going to District 11.
