Chapter 3

 

Melissa’s P.O.V

 

“So, how do you two feel?” Effie asked cheerfully. I rolled my eyes. “Are you seriously that damn excited about watching twenty-three innocent kids get murdered? And then have one kid just live with the guilt for the rest of their life?” I snapped. Seriously. Were the people in the Capitol on drugs or something? Effie didn’t reply. That’s what I thought.

 

“Melissa has a point,” Skylar spoke up, her side bands covering half of her face. “We’re all gonna die, and you’re acting like this is the most exciting thing that has ever happened.”  I smiled at her. For a 14 year old, she seemed mature. I think I want her as my ally in the arena. I will talk to her during training.

 

“Well, uh, lets just get to our rooms.” Effie said nervously. I nodded briskly, and walked toward the train section with the Tributes rooms. I opened up the first door of the two rooms and was happy with the room I chose. It was a beautiful room, mostly white. I loved it. I decided to take a shower to help get the current situation of my mind. When I walked into the shower, I froze. What the hell is this? Instead of a normal tube with running water like I expected, it was a giant tube with loads of buttons. There were options for warm water, cold water, lots of different soaps….Options for hair dye….Options to dye your skin?! What the hell?! I growled under my breath in disgust. Only an idiot would dye their skin. I pressed a button for warm water, and sighed. We never had warm water in District 12, not unless you boiled it. I pressed another button for strawberry scented shampoo and soap. I had strawberries a few times in District 12, when my parents were still alive. I remember that they had a sweet smell, and I was right. After I got out of the shower I got dressed in clean clothes and dried my hair, braiding back down the side. As I was doing so there was a light knock on the door.

 

“Melissa?” It was Effie. “I don’t mean to rush you dear, but it’s almost time for dinner!” I sighed

 

“I’ll be right there!” I said and walked out of the bathroom. I took a few deep breaths, then walked to the dining hall, where Effie Katniss Peeta and Skylar were already seated. Oh yeah, I forgot. Katniss and Peeta would be my mentors for the games. I quietly sat down. It was quiet for a while, until a few Avoxes came in with giant platters filled with food. My mouth watered at the sight. I have never seen so much food in my life. The male Avox looked at my empty plate, the food, and then back at me. He wanted to know if I wanted to be served. I shook my head and said, “I can serve myself. But thank you.” He nodded and left. I sighed. I felt so bad for the Avoxes. Avoxes were captured criminals, and instead of being executed, they cut of their tongues and were forced to serve the Capitol for the rest of their lives. I picked up my plate and decided on a small bird that seemed to be covered in an orange-y sauce. There were many of them, so I took two and some mashed potatoes. I poured something called ‘gravy’ over it, then figured that that is all I will eat for now. A female Avox came in with a tray filled with all sorts of drinks. I chose a chocolate-brown drink. I took a sip and it took all my strength to not just drink the whole thing all at once. It was delicious! Katniss laughed quietly.

 

“It’s called Hot Chocolate, what you’re drinking.” She told me. I looked up.

 

“Hot Chocolate?” She smiled and nodded. “Wow..” I decided to try the little bird I chose, and as I bit a delicious orange sauce came from it. We never had anything this good back home at District 12. For a while there wasn’t much talking, just people eating. Then Effie said,

 

“Alright...It’s time for the recaps!” While she said this, the T.V came on and the Capitol Seal was shown on the screen. Peeta left the room before they started. Ever since the Quarter Quell, Peeta hasn’t been comfortable of watching the recaps. However, he will watch the Hunger Games, him and Katniss being my mentors and all. ‘District One’ appeared on the screen, and the stage of the reapings were shown.

Alright. Time to see who I’ll have to kill.
