Okay, so I've uploaded the pictures of most of my characters by now and I'm working on their bios as soon as I'm done with the next chapter. Once again, I don't own the hunger games trilogy, or any of the characters, only the ones who you aren't familiar with.
I looked at his lifeless body, his warm blue eyes were shut, it would've looked as if he were sleeping, if it weren't for the dagger sticking out from where his hear should've been, my dagger.
It took two days to reach the Capitol, and in those two days Finnick had told me exactly what to tell Caesar Flickerman, what role to play, the charming, confident, bad girl, the one who knew exactly what to do, the one everyone would need but couldn't have. He taught me who to weave a net, well sort of just because I've been trained as a tribute doesn't mean I wasn't also taught how to fish, he also talked to me and Alexander, told us not to trust anyone, 'Not even if we form an alliance?' Alexander had asked, 'Especially those who you form an alliance with.' I had responded, my voice firm and cold.
Finnick looked at me sadly as if he finally remembered who my brother was and how he died; he had fallen in love with one of the other tributes, when he told her she slaughtered him, right there in front of their entire alliance. My parents had been depressed for a while, my mother was the worst, she wouldn't eat, she refused to eat, she got sick, almost to the point of death, and my little sister had snapped her out of it by saying that she was abandoning us like Jay did making us watch knowing there was nothing we could do about it.
Jay's death had also been one of the other reasons Finnick's girlfriend Annie Cresta had lived, the gamekeepers had caused an earthquake that made the dam burst flooding most of the arena, leaving Annie as the winner seeing as she was the strongest swimmer.
As soon as we got to the Capitol Alexander and I were whisked away to separate areas, to be dressed for the opening ceremony. They put my brown hair out of the messy pony tail I had done the minute I woke up and let my waves loose and tied half of it back, including my bangs, which to be honest I didn't really feel comfortable with. Once that was done my stylist walked in, she was pale, but not deathly so as the ones who did my her, no, hers had a more natural feel to it, and she didn't wear as much makeup as the other women, and most men, around her did, but she still looked amazingly beautiful, with long slightly curled hair black hair that reached almost to the middle of her back and gorgeous electric blue eyes.
"So you're the one who's going to make me stunning?" I asked using Finnick's words.
"No, sweetheart when I'm through with you, you're going to break hearts with a single glance," She said with a devilish smile that made me break out into a grin. "not that you don't already." She added as she made me spin in a slow circle. She sat me down in a comfortable chair and spun me around so that I wasn't able to see my reflection, I gave her a confused look. "It's a surprise." She said with a mischivious smile, and told me to close my eyes.
When she finally let me open them it was only so that I didn't trip as they moved me towards the dressing room, leaving only for three minutes exactly so that I barely had time to take off my clothes and put on my new outfit which consisted of a salmon colored bathing suit and a fishnet slip to go over it.
When my three minutes were up they dragged me back to the makeup department though this time I wasn't allowed to sit, instead they made me stand on a small podium as they sprinkled silver dust on my shoulders, the sides of my face, the outside of my thighs starting right where the bathing suit stopped and fading out a little before my knee.
She looked me over one last time, as if making sure everything was perfect, all the while the women behind her were saying things like 'Aria she looks amazing.' Or ' Pure perfection.' I could tell Aria was a little uncomfortable with the fact that these women were just saying these things to win her favor, but at the same time I could tell she agreed with them, which only made me want to see the ending product even more. "Well now, love, we're done." She said giving me permission too finally see my own reflection, and the women were right, I could barely recognize myself in the mirror, they had me in a salmon colored bathing suit, maybe a few shades darker, strapless top, and low rise bottoms, with a fishnet coverslip, that if it were made out of actual fabric, it'd be a gorgeous gown, the silver dust was meant to look shiny and scaly, my lips were a left to their natural ruby color with a bit of gloss of shine, my eyeliner winged out at the edges and my cheeks were a rosy pink color, they had me barefoot to help convey the natural beach look everyone associated with district four.
"Thank you, so much." I said wrapping my arms tightly around Aria, her thin arms wrapped around me as well. "No problem doll, now don't mess this up." She said as she led me to where Finnick and Alexander were.
Alexander also had the silver dust on him, but that was where his makeup stopped, they had also left him barefoot, and his chest was bare, he was wearing bathing suit bottoms, though his stopped a little before mid-thigh, he also had a fishnet cover though his cut across his chest and stopped a little after his shorts.
Finnick looked me over in approval, and it was obvious that he had more faith that I would win over any chance Alexander had.
he looked at Aria and gave her a nod of approval, and a warm smile and the women behind her looked as if they would pass out at any given second if Finnick didn't stop smiling.
He gave me one last smirk before pushing me out onto the chariot and feeding me to the lions.
So, what do you guys think? Please review if you liked it, and if you didn't well still review I'm open to constructive criticism. Thank you.
