The Supernatural Games: Dark Circuit

Part III - Chapter 12: Glow

Private sessions weren't bad. Except for the fact that I hung a dummy and labeled it Seneca Crane. I'd go on but it was a crazy story. As my score, I got a perfect 12. Trust me, I was shocked too.

As I woke up, my eyes open to see Daniel and his crew ( Roxanne, John and Lexi ) all surrounding my capsule, all grinning like freaks.

" Morning, my muse. The interviews is 12 hours from now. Time to pamper, practice, and pose! " Daniel exclaims, grabbing the tablet and puts the shade around my capsule. " Take a shower, my dear. We'll be waiting. " Wow, I feel more pressurized than last year.

I take my shower, dry myself up, and Daniel used the tablet to change me into a plain t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. No makeup. Yet.

For breakfast, I had to eat Raisin Bran cereal and a kale smoothie on the side. Roxanne said that if I had a huge breakfast, I'll gain weight. Like really? How can I gain weight on pancakes, eggs, and bacon so quickly? It's my favorite.

I've been around the clock. Adelaide was talking me through some interview answers and my posture. John made me exercise in the training room for about 4 hours. I did push-ups, jumping-jacks, aerobatics and went jogging outside. I feel really powered up.

Afternoon came along and lunch was drinking another kale smoothie and eating a whole-wheat turkey sandwich. After lunch, I got to lay down and watch some TV. That didn't last long because it was time for me to get ready.

Roxanne curled my hair and placed diamond earrings on my ears, John waved off the hair from my legs, arms and underarms, and Lexi did my nails and makeup.

Finally, Daniel surprised me with the outfit he created. Once I saw myself in the mirror, I grinned. It was a silk pink dress along with a black blazer. Instead of heels, I'm wearing grey and black flats. Daniel said that this outfit choice symbolizes me as a teenage girl transitioning to a woman. The outfit screams out poised, sophisticated and beautiful. As I gazed at myself in the mirror, Chase came behind me and wrapped his hands around my waist. His hair is wavy and he has on a dark grey tuxedo with a black dress shirt.

" You look astonishing. " He tells me, placing his chin on my shoulder. I look down at my engagement ring and smile. " Think it's time to tell the world? " I nod and turn around to come face to face with the love of my life. Chase leans in for a kiss but we're interrupted.

" I know Bree looks lovely but don't kiss her now. Let the masterpiece remain perfect and save all the messing up for later, okay Chase? " Daniel takes my hand and separates me and Chase. Chase puts his hands up in defense and walks out of my room. I turn to see Roxanne, John, and Lexi all weeping.

" You look so beautiful! " Lexi says between weeps, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. Wow....

Chase and I are in line with other tributes. All of the other female tributes are dressed in gowns and long dresses. I feel outcasted by Daniel is known for his originality.

" Nice outfit. This is a televised interview, not a job interview. " Krissa from District 1 says to me. She has blonde hair, flawless skin and green eyes that touches your soul. She looks beautiful tonight but her comment about my outfit didn't tick me off much. I don't got time for that.

Everyone else's interviews were very interesting. For example, Tony from District 2 began reading a poem he wrote for a special lady. All the Capitol ladies were won over but even I know that letter wasn't for any of them. When my name was called, I walk on stage and wave to the Capitol audience who are cheering and clapping for me. Caesar Flickerman opens his arms to embrace me into a tight hug. To note, he didn't hug none of the tributes before me. Not even Buffy Summers. We sit down and Caesar beams.
