The Devils Halo Chapter 2

We had just three minutes to say goodbye. My mother, father and Ryan came in first.

"Promise me Phee, you'll come home? Please!" Ryan begged as I hugged him.

"I will" I turned to my mother and father as they both enveloped me in a hug.

"Don't cry, I'll come home" I tell them. A Peacekeeper tells us our time is up. The door closes behind them. I put my hand on the door handle and see who's outside. Hayden. I close the door but he forces it open, taking me in his strong arms. I didn't allow myself to cry.

"You can do it Phee! I know you can!" he whispered in my ear. I nod, unable to make any noise.

"Hayden! I don't want to go" I said, burring my head in his chest and gripping the back of his shirt. That's when the Peacekeeper came for him, and I was lead out, into the crowd. Landon was there. Standing by the car ready to take us to the train station. Everyone stopped. Placed their three fingers of their left hand to their lips and saluted us. We climbed in to the car and headed towards the station. Once we were there, the cameras were on us. Everyone was shouting and screaming our names. We climbed into the car of the train and sat in the chairs provided. Effie sat opposite us. We waited for Katniss and Peeta to arrive. When they did, Katniss took my hands in hers.

"You guys can do this! And Phoebe, I want you to take this" she says as she places a golden pin in my hand. I recognised it from last year's games. Her Mockingjay.

"Katniss! I can't!" I tell her, trying to give her the pin back but she won't take it.

"No! I want you to have this!" I finally gave in when she took it from my hands and attached it to my shirt. Peeta had given Landon a bracelet with Mockingjays engraved into it, they looked as though they were flying around his bracelet.

"Thank you" we both said at the same time. We discussed strategy and decided we would train together so we know what each other's strengths are and what we both need to work on. We all gathered into the dining car for dinner of lamb stew and grain. It was the vest meal I'd had in a long time! We then headed over to the sofas in the car and watched back the reapings. From across the districts.

District 1 tributes were Emma Twill and Blake Johnson.

District 2 were Shayanne Jones and Cameron Cook.
District 3 were Avery Thompson and Troy Goodwin.
District 4 were Maya Long and Jake Watson.
District 5 were Nicole Wright and Danny Huges.
District 6 were Devon Grant and Jason Moore.
District 7 were Jaycee-Leigh Hampton and Bradon Bloor.
District 8 were Toni Miles and Matt Simpson.
District 9 were Maya Lawson and Cody Brackhurst.
District 10 were Allie Cartwright and Jake Hollyhurst.
District 11 were Leigh Malik and Connor Mason.
And District 12 were me and Landon.

After we watched back the reapings we headed off to bed. The bedroom carts were incredible. There was a bed, obviously. But next to it, there were some draws. One with Pyjamas in, another with shirts in, and another with trousers and skirts in. I changed into a pair of pyjamas and climbed into bed. The next morning, I was woken by Effie tell us we had 'A big, big, big day ahead of us!' so I reluctantly rolled off the bed and changed into a yellow blouse and a pair of black trousers. I headed towards the dining car and walked in to see Logan, Katniss and Peeta all sitting at the table. With Effie nowhere to be seen.

"She's talking." Katniss told me, noticing I'd seen that Effie was missing. I shrugged my shoulders and took a seat at the table. There was toast, grain, and a big bowl of fruits sitting in the middle of the table. I took what I wanted and ate.

"And here comes the Capitol!" Peeta said, nodding towards the window. I turned and looked. It was incredible. Huge buildings towered above us and everything else. Then we entered a tunnel.

"Well. The Capitol is huge!" Landon said as he took his seat on the train again.

"Thanks Captain Obvious" I say, putting my head in my hands. I really didn't want to be here, but, on the bright side, I get to spend time with four people I don't know. One of them has already given me her token from the arena.

"We're almost in the station. Don't be afraid of what you see. It's all for you" Effie told us. I still didn't look up when the train stopped.

"come on Phoebe, this is your moment" Katniss said, holding a hand out for me to take. I looked up and smiled, taking the hand she offered. We guided me through the train towards the doors. I heard screaming. They were all chanting our names. I really hated this and it showed. "Relax, they will sense your fear if you look like that, keep calm and stay close to me okay?" Katniss reassured me. I turned, looking around for Landon, I found him walking along the corridor talking to Peeta, Effie was just behind them, ushering them along. The doors opened and the chanting got louder as I stepped off the train, gripping Katniss's hand harder. We made it to the car, we all had to watch what we said because we were constantly on camera. As soon as we got to the training centre, I was whisked away from Katniss and Landon was taken away too. I was met by my prep team. I recognised them as Katniss's prep team from last year. Venia, Falvius and Octavia all set to work on me as soon as we got into that room. Waxing my legs and plucking my eyebrows. It was the most painful thing I have ever been through, and I've been through a lot.

"We have one beautiful young lady sitting here waiting for you Cinna!" Flavius shouted through the door as Venia gave me a robe to put on. He came in and asked me to take the robe off so he could see me. I did as he asked.

"You are very pretty. Right you three, go!" he said waving them out of the room with his hand. "Follow me Phoebe" he motioned me to follow him so I pulled on my robe and followed him. We entered a massive room with two huge sofas and a coffee table with food laid out for us to eat. "Help yourself!" he told me. I did as I was told, I didn't eat much though. "We have decided on matching things for you and Landon, but we can't tell you what it is! So I'll start on your make up and then give you the low down on your costume." He told me all the technical things he was doing. 'Smokey eye' was one of the things I caught. I watched him in awe as how he was using my face like a blank canvas. When he finally showed me what he had done, I looked like a different person. My eye lashes touched the top of my cheeks when I blinked, my grey eyes stood out against the red, orange and gold eye shadow that looked like flames were coming from my eye lids. My lips were plump and red. My hair was braided back and the front strands were resting on my shoulders in soft curls. He came back with a white costume bag and told me to change into it, but not to lift my arms above my head once I was in the top. I was wearing a yellow and orange floral top that came to mid thigh and black three quarter length trousers with black heels that strapped up my legs. I didn't look too bad. Im worried about what they're dressing Landon in though.

"Cinna. You did an amazing job! I love this!" I told him, walking towards him and hugging him.

"Anything for a tribute friends with Katniss" He told me, handing me the Mockingjay pin. He attached it to the top, telling me nothing will happen to it. I was still confused about this.

"Phoebe. You are going to be the next girl on fire. Landon isn't in some Hawaii shirt don't worry. His clothes do the same as yours. You will completely contrast before this happens" he tells me as we walk towards the elevator to head out to the chariots. Effie, Katniss, Peeta, Landon and his prep team are all waiting. His stylist was introduced as Portia, but I didn't catch the names of the others.

"So, we want you to act like best friends okay?" Cinna said as he helped us into the chariot. "When you get halfway, lift your arms above your head and spin!" he told me. He shouted other stuff that looked like 'Hold Hands' but I couldn't be sure.

"I think he wants us to hold hands" Landon whispered in my ear. I took his hand and gestured to it. Cinna nodded as our chariot began to move forward.

"This is it" I said as we held hands and looked straight forward, heading into the arena.

"Its halfway. You ready?" Landon asked me. I nodded, lifted my arms and twirled with the help of Landon. I felt a tickling sensation around my feet as the 'Fire' made my clothes disintegrate. I closed my eyes as I kept spinning. When I opened them, I was balanced and in a golden floor length dress with fire patterns all the way up to my neck. I was now spinning Landon around as his simple black top and trousers took the same effect. He was stood before me in a golden tux with flames up the sleeves. We were on fire!

When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
