A/N: Hey guys! So, remember how awhile back I said I was going to edit and revise A Fight For the Two of Us? Well, here it is! I've changed it up a little, such as made the chapters longer, some chapters aren't exactly the same as they were in the original one, and so on. Some chapters have quotes from the movie and some from the book. So read it and tell me what y'all think of this new version?
Cinna approached the door to Katniss' changing room where she waited to get dressed, knowing full well this could be the last time they see her alive.
"Peeta, We can't tell anyone about this!" Katniss whispered urgently, trying to keep her voice calm, even if she was freaking out on the inside.
Why was Peeta in there?
"But Katniss, think of the advantage in telling everyone during the interview. More than half the tributes have a conscience and won't even want to hurt you. We'd only have to worry about the careers." Peeta said calmly, trying to reassure her when he couldn't even reassure himself that the plan would work.
Cinna heard shuffling around the room before hearing one of them sit down.
"Yes, and think about the disadvantages! If we tell all of Panem, the careers WILL target me. And Gale? My Mom? Prim? They think all of this "star-crossed lovers" crap is a lie!"
Before it could go any further, Cinna took this moment to walk into the room, closing the doors tightly behind him.
"Peeta? Portia is looking for you. Bad luck to see the bride." He said, allowing for Peeta to give a curt nod before leaving the room.
Hearing the footsteps fade, he took this moment to turn to Katniss.
The seventeen-year-old appeared to have gained weight since the last time he had seen her, which had been unusual because up until now she had been throwing up everything she ate.
At that moment, it all clicked for the stylist.
"How far along are you? Assuming that's the reason for the sickness and weight gain."
Katniss nodded, knowing she might as well tell him.
"Three months. It happened during the victory tour. That's what we were talking about before you came in. I know I won't make it out a second time, but Peeta still wants to tell all of Panem, but_" She started, only for the older man to cut her off.
"But if he does, he thinks it's an advantage and you think it's a disadvantage and will make the both of you seem weak?"
Katniss nodded, grey eyes boring into Cinna's brown ones.
Cinna sighed.
"I'm not your mentor, but it seems like a great way to get sponsors. If I were you, I'd ask Haymitch for his opinion."
"Haymitch can't know! If he finds out, he'll go back on his promise to keep Peeta alive."
The stylist ignored her.
"Just do what you need to do to protect each other. Besides, after you two scored perfect twelves during training…I don't think the careers will go after you right away." Cinna said, almost looking as though he was about to cry.
"Don't cry. This is hard enough for me as it is." She said coldly, standing up and facing him.
Cinna nodded and walked over to the closet, opening it to reveal an elaborate dress with a wired design on the bodice, feathers trailing down the rest of it.
"Now, shall we get you ready?"
Katniss nodded as the prep team came in and started to fuss over her.
The brunette took note of how silent her stylist was being as he helped her put on the dress; both watching the beginning of the interviews.
"We are going to miss all of you!" Cashmere said to the audience, sobbing into her brother's shoulder.
"It's been hard to come to terms with. We've come to love the Capitol over the years, as most of the tributes."
The brunette rolled her eyes.
"Does anyone ever believe any of this?" She asked, looking at Cinna.
"Unfortunately, a lot of people do." A voice said from the doorway.
She turned to reveal Haymitch and Effie standing in the doorway.
"Oh Katniss! You'd be the most beautiful bride!" Effie gushed, putting both hands on her shoulders as Katniss turned to look at Cinna.
"What's wrong?"
"Just don't lift your arms up or twirl until I give the signal." He said, avoiding her gaze.
Cinna was hiding it.
She could see it in the stylist's demeanor.
I don't like this. She thought as Effie ushered her out into the hall to wait for her interview.
I don't like this at all…
