Bonjour! R&R next chapter will start questions Mwa ha ha ha!
When I woke up it was already half nine, I groaned and flopped over to the large bathroom. The showers here were good but the baths were better, the bath tub quickly filled with hot steamy water and the little colour changing lights gave the water a pink tint, jets of bubbles were fitted to the floor and a head massager was resting on the rim. I slipped in and immediately felt peaceful and calm the water warm on my skin and the aromas heavenly. After an hour I reluctantly got out of the bath and wrapped a navy towel around me to dry off. It took me ages trying to find something normal to wear and in the end I settled on a flimsy turquoise dress that reached the knee and a pair of sparkly pumps a bit too over dressed but around here anything goes. Seeing it was almost lunch I skipped off to find Iris and ask her about my gown for tonights interviews. I was really nervous and wished this day never to end for tomorrow I would be crawling through filth in some awful arena it surprised me how my time in the Capitol had flown by so quick I wished I could at least hold on to the small freedom I had left just a little longer but I knew I couldn't.
Iris was in the sitting room sipping a cup of milk and toffee swirl a popular brew amongst the Capitolites. "So then what will I be wearing for tonight?" I asked her she raised an eyebrow then rolled her eyes, "always so eager, give me a chance to wake up at least!" I sighed and slumped down thinking also about the private session I would have today with the game-makers I was told to show off my fencing skills but they had already seen that so I might try some knife throwing or flaunt my plant skills. The sessions would be in an hour I was a little excited at my first real chance to completely show off because I knew that I was brilliant at that. "Where is Javert?" I asked Iris who was staring off into the distance, "oh I suppose prepping Ashen for today." She muttered, annoyed I marched out of the room, "JAVERT!" I shouted, "where are you?"
I finally found him and Ashen whispering in a corner. I told him about my dilemma concerning the sessions and he just rolled his eyes, "stick to swords, now leave!" I groaned and shuffled out of the room closing the door and standing with my ear pressed against it curious to what they are talking about, Javert spoke first. "Don't worry about her she is just an attention seeker with a bit of brawn, your the one with the brains. Although u will have to keep her close until the end because what nobody likes is when a careerer like your self gets too smart for their own good."
"So your saying she is not even a threat to me?" Ashen exclaimed, "have you seen her fight? Well of course you have but you know what I was always told? Never underestimate your opponent." There was a pause and then Javert spoke "Honestly she isn't made for these games, to her it is all one big party with lots of pretty dresses and smiley people but u and me both know what it's really like. You know you remind me of myself when I was your age coming from patch row and all that. I like you don't mess up."
The whole way through the conversation I stood stock still, frozen in place because it hadn't taken me long to guess who they were referring to. I stumbled away still processing the information. My first thoughts were "we'll there is two less people I can trust!" Ashen had always been an enigma to me but this was too much and I didn't know how Javert could betray me like this I had actually known him since I was six! I continued trying to make sense of everything without freaking out too much. So when it was finally time for the sessions I was nearly breathing fire I stood there in my turquoise dress like an idiot with my eyes throwing daggers at anyone who walked passed and my fists clenched. When I was called I stood hard on Ashen's foot and glared then turning around and flouncing in.
