Chapter Twelve: District Six- Kiana Edenton

Chapter Twelve- Kiana Edenton

My stylist brings me down to the area where the chariots are kept. He dressed me in a short dress that feels two sizes too small. Since we have to dress according to your District's industry, District Six has to go along the lines of transportation. My dress is a dark red with silver highlights to look like bumpers on a car. My shoes are black stilettoes that have mini wheels on the sides to look like wheels. I. Look. Horrible.

We get to our chariot with silver horses. I have never seen anything like them. The Capitol must have genetically engineered the horses so they look like they are coated in the real thing. I get in, knowing the other tributes won't want to socialize with me. When a woman's voice asks all the other tributes to get into their chariots, my District partner, Layne, comes in. He is in a similar get-up, but he is in a deep red shirt and black pants, which both have the silver highlights. His shoes also look like mine, except they are not stilettoes.

We are sixth to ride out in the street. When we do, the crowd goes silent, and then starts booing. Now I know for sure I will die in the first few second of the Games.
