Poison berries (Larry Stylinson/Hunger Games)

Chapter 7: Make Them Out Of Silver And Gold

Lunch was finally over, and now we were going to meet our stylists. At the end of this long and fancy hallway we opened the door to see three weird looking people sitting on a couch of this, well you could call it a laboratory, it certainly looked like it.

“Well hello there!” Said the woman with orange hair.

“Trisha, this is Louis Tomlinson and Spencer Hastings.” Alex introduced us. I reached my arm to shake hands with her but instead she hugged me tightly, and said.

“I’m so sorry this happened to you.” After that she hugged Spencer and said. “Truly sorry.” It surprised me, I mean people have congratulated us the whole time we were in the Capitol. She then continued.

“We will do our best to help you. I promise.” She smiled sincerely. I saw the other two approaching us, one of them was old, had silver gray hair and was wearing a green suit, the other one had black hair, he was also short and had a dark blue suit.

“This is Cornelius” Alex continued.

The old man smiled and said. “Nice to meet you.”

Spencer and I nodded. “And this is Elijah.” The dark haired boy hugged us and said.

“It was really brave of you to do that, to volunteer for your little brother. Truly amazing.”

“Thanks.” I said while scratching my neck a bit.

“Now then, we should get to work!” Trisha said.

“We’ll leave you to it then, and after you’re done we will come to pick them up in time for dinner, is that okay?” Lou asked.

“Its perfect, see you then Lou!” Trisha said clapping her hands three times after Lou and Alex left. After the final clap I could hear footsteps coming towards us. Ten more stylists came in the room. “Now then, you know what to do, we have everything prepared, everything ready, what we don’t have is time, so get to work!” Trisha said, and the next thing I know I was being pulled into a dressing room, they took my clothes off and pushed me into a bath tub. Two women were scrubbing me so hard I felt like they are going to scrub away my skin. One of them touched my groin, and looked at me surprised and smiled at the other woman. I just cringed and told them that I can take care of that area. I got out of the bath tub and took a towel and started to dry myself, the red haired woman gave me a robe and took my hand and led me to a room with a blue deck chair. I lied down, I could see Cornelius getting something ready, some kind of yellow liquid.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Oh, that’s wax. Capitol does not like hairy legs.” He winked at me. I looked at my legs. I shrugged. Cornelius put this liquid on my legs and stuck on some kind of paper. Few moments after I was holding in my screams, it hurt so badly, but Cornelius and Elijah were laughing.

“Its fine to scream, this is your first time after all.” Elijah said. Cornelius looked at Elijah and smirked.

“Was that pun intended?” I asked.

“Maybe…” Elijah answered.

“So, Louis. What’s with you and the curly cat from District three?”

I looked at Elijah confused.

“W-What do you mean?” The two giggled.

“Oh, come on! Give us the details, we won’t tell.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about… We just talked, okay? There are no details.”

“Fine, don’t tell us. But keep it to yourself, having true feelings for someone is forbidden here…” Cornelius said looking at the floor. Elijah hugged him gently.

“What do you mean? I-I’m not…” Elijah looked at me.

“Honey, neither of us wasn’t… untill we were.” His words were on my mind the whole time we were preparing for dinner.

“Oh my… You, look amazing, I’m speechless.” Lou said when she took a first look at us.

“Preach!” Alex said.

“Come now my victors, we have a dinner to attend to. Mister Sheeran is most excited to see you, Louis.”
