The remake center, the capital
"Faye are you ready to see your outfit?" My stylist asked me. His name was Osmond. He had lavender hair and a bright orange beard, his shoes looked like a elf should be wearing them and his outfit was the most ridicules thing I have ever seen, he was wearing a suit that was covered in blue, pink and purple sequence his tie was a bright gold that almost blinded me. If my stylist looked like this then I am worried about what my costume might be.
I had been in the remake center for one and a half hours. My nails have been field into even little ovals, all the hair on my body has been stripped off, although apparently the older tributes have to go through a lot worst, they spent about thirty minutes complementing my eyes and hair and telling me how much I looked like Finch, they had also whitened my teeth and they tied my hair in a high pony tail so Osmond could see my face the pony tail is so high up it is hard to hold my head up. I have a new found respect for the capital people if they can go through this every month then they deserve some credit.
"I and Ginger have decided that for your tribute parade outfits they should glow because you are from district five which electricity is." Osmond said walking over to a bag where my costume must be. I am going to look like a Christmas tree aren't I.
He pulled a dress out of the bag, it was orange and had tiny lights around the rim. It wasn't half bad.
"Because district eights train was a bit late arriving this year the tribute parade will be on later so it will be darker." He said as he hung the dress on a hook on the wall. "So you will light up the night!" He was grinning so much that I think his face might tear. "Go get changed then come out the parade is going to begin soon!" He exclaimed and then he got up and left the room doing some sort of weird dance, the man might look ridicules but he did have a good sense of fashion.
When he left the room I pulled on the dress and looked at myself in the mirror and took my hair down from the ponytail, I nearly screamed with excitement when I saw it. The fabric on the dress was the exact same color as my hair and eyes. I had never realized that my hair and my eyes where the exact same shad of orange. I loved the dress it was so pretty. It wasn't as out there as a lot of the costumes like last year the kids from district four had to wear kids Halloween costumes that where fish or that other time when the stupid district twelve tributes where lit on fire, I wish they got burnt.
I hated the district twelve tributes from that year, Katniss and Peeta. I know it wasn't really their fault Finch ate the berries but I have other reasons. Peeta was going to eat the berries, if they had planted a trap she might have suspected something not might she would have suspected something. I hate the girl because when she was giving the speech about the two dead tributes from district five she said this.
"I believe foxface was the smartest tribute in the arena."
She couldn't even get to know her name she called her foxface people use to bully her and call her foxface, she was in the final five tributes and she couldn't't even get to know her name when giving a speech to her upset family.
I could feel my cheeks begin to burn up with rage, I hated them. I really did. How could she do that? Calm down I whispered to myself again and again.
When I finally calmed down enough I walked out of the room, outside all of the tributes where dressed in costumes. I am about to look for Osmond, Ginger and Evan when a hand grabs my shoulder. I whip around and see Katniss and Peeta standing there. Great just what I needed I was already angry enough at them I didn't want them talking to me.
"We are so sorry about your sister." Katniss said getting down on one knee so she would be the same height as me and pitting a hand on my shoulder.
"We really are." Peeta said sympathetically.
"Do you even know her name?" I asked them staring her dead in their eyes. I am surprised I am being so short tempered with people who have killed so much children but the anger has become too much for me.
"Foxf-" Katniss begins before she realizes that that isn't her real name, before she realizes how incredibly selfish she can be not to learn someone's name. Peeta seems embarrassed that he can't remember how hard is it to learn someone's name..
"It was Finch, Finch crossley." I said, I had a very bad temper and I could feel that I might shout at them but I calmed myself down and lowered my voice to a threatening whisper. "You said when she died that Peeta out foxed her. No one can out fox Finch crossley, no one can out fox my sister." I glared them with a unforgiving look.
I stormed of as I walked away all I could hear was the loud clicking of the high heels. I walked up to the carriage and step onto it. I was so angry I could hear my heart in my throat.
"Well someone seems a bit angry." Ginger said inspecting my loose hair trying to make the ten gallons of hair spray look natural.
"It's a red head thing." I scowled.
"Okay honey bit don't be mad at the audience." She said stepping down from the cart. I nod in response.
I hear a laugh and whip my head around to see where it came from; the girl from district seven is having a good laugh at her costume. She is a tree and her arms are branches. We catch each other's glances and then after a few seconds of just staring at one another we both burst out laughing this lasts for a few minutes before one of us speaks up.
"Yours looks so nice and I am a plastic ree." She says.
"Thanks and I am sorry." I say pitifully looking at her; it's no use telling her that her tree outfit looks good because really it looks a bit ridicules.
"At least you aren't district six." I say pointing to the sixteen and seventeen year old dressed as trains. We both laugh.
"I am Beatrix." She tells me.
"I am Faye." I reply.
"Of corse I know who you are you're all the capital can talk about, when I saw you on the recaps you looked so scary I didn't think you could laugh." She says.
An idea hits me when Finch came to the justice building she said to make allies. I ran my finger along the stone and found the dent in it. Even if it wasn't real that didn't mean I couldn't take her advice, I took a deep breath.
"I am good at acting; I could teach you how to act in front of cameras if you would show me how to use an axe." I say over to her.
"Okay." She replies and I know even though we haven't said it we are going to be allies.
Before we had time to say anything else are chariot took off, I had very little time to change to the person I pretended to be in front of the cameras but I managed.
"And now we have our stunning tributes from district five, don't they shine!" Ceaser yelled. The whole audience burst into applause. And we did shine, because it was so late it was very dark and it was difficult not to focus on us.
As our chariot went by the crowd I waved a bit and smiled a little while not dropping my act I wanted to seem cunning but likeable. I spot a couple looking at me; I could tell they were wealthy. They did not seem as enthusiastic as the rest of the crowd and they wore clothes that looked much finer than the rest. I smiled at them and waved, the man seemed impressed that I was able to scout them out and the woman gave an approving nod. Well I may have some wealthy sponsors there if I play the game right.
We reach the top where the stage is; I look back and see Beatrix nervously waving at the crowd. I felt so bad for her but it doesn't really matter because her tree costume is blocking the majority of her face.
President Snow began to read the speech after half an hour it is over, I have never stayed in character for this long it is exhausting.
Finally it ended and we were all taken back to the building where we would be spending the next week in. It was massive and had a floor per district. The elevator shot up so fast and it was made of glass so I was really scared I was going to fall. The floor we had was amazing it had luxurious furniture, a massive T.V, a dining room, a sitting room and on the walls it had pictures taken in district five which was a nice touch.
I went to my room and took of the dress, the makeup,I took a shower and changed. I knew we had dinner soon, I had to skip lunch because we were at the remake center.
Two night ago when we arrived at the capital we stayed in a hotel because we had to wait for people in districts like twelve to arrive, after breakfast we went to the remake center.
I tied my hair in a pony tail and left my room. The dinner now was just as grand as the one on the train everyone was hungry we ate talking about tactics and different ideas for what to do in the games.
After dinner I was going to go back to my room but Bexie informed me that they were going to be a show with Ceaser talking about the different tributes I went to the living room and sat on the couch. Jelaime, Tallie, Osmond, Ginger, Bexie and Evan followed. Bexie turned on the T.V and we watched the show.
Ceaser is sitting in a chair next to the capital woman with the high pitched voice her name turns out to be Zoey.
"So, Ceaser anyone that interests you?" Zoey asks casually as if they are just having a normal conversation that isn't being aired to all of Panem.
"Well I think little Faye from district five has caught all of our eyes." Ceaser replies and pictures of me at the train station are pulled up on screen.
"Well we have found clips from her sister games where her sister mentions her." Zoey says.
The screen cuts to Finches interview from the 74th hinger games.
"So Finch do you have any siblings?" Ceaser asks.
"Yes I have a lot of siblings but I don't think you will believe how much I have." She replies with the same smile I wore at the tribute parade today.
"Oh tell me." Ceaser begs.
"Okay." She replies then waits a moment for tension. "Nine siblings."
"NINE!" Ceaser screams pretending to fall of his chair. "Are they older or younger then you." He asks getting back up.
"Most of them are younger but I have a one older brother and a twin." She replies.
"Who are you the closest with?" Ceaser asks.
"Well of course I am very close with my twin, Frank but I am closest with my little sister Faye she is only ten." She says with a smile. The crowd awws at this. She takes a moment before she talks again to try and think of something to say but she is interrupted by Ceaser.
"Do you think you could win?" Ceaser asks.
"Everyone has a chance of winning don't they?." She replies.
"But could you imagine yourself winning." He asks again seeing that she is avoiding the question. She doesn't want to answerer because of me she doesn't want me to know she might not come home.
"I think my sister Faye could win she always wins fights against her older brothers." She says getting a small laugh from the audience and dogging the question again.
Ceaser gets the hint and moves on "How would you manage in the arena?" He asks.
"I find if I apply myself to the situation present I will be able to do anything." She said that got a cheer from the audience but I don't think that they really know what she means by this.
The screen cut back to Ceaser and Zoey as they began to discus more about me. That interview was the last time Finch talked about any of our siblings, she nearly mentioned me once again but I wish she hadn't it hurt too much. Soon the screen cut to the moment when Finch ate the nightlock. I begin to shake as I re-live that terror.
She eats the nightlock and then looks at it and I can see that she suddenly realizes what she has done. She tries to move her hand up to her mouth to make herself vomit but she is to slow just before she dies she screams out. "Faye I-"Before being cut of by death.
I get up from the couch and stormed off to my room, I slam the door behind me and fall onto my bed. I cry. I mean I really cry, it's not just a few tears that trickle down my cheek I burst out crying. Why did they have to show that? Did they want to torture me? I am not sure when I stop crying and fall asleep but eventually I do. My dreams are filled of times where me, Finch, Fiona and little baby Faith would go out to the meadows and have a picnic and of the times when me and Finch would sneak into richer people's houses and rob valuables. I wish I could live in that world, in that world of dreams of my memories with Finch. I don't ever want to wake up I just want to stay trapped in my dreams. But eventually I do wake up and I have to face the world without her once more.
