Cinna:
„Katniss!" I walked up to my friend and embraced her with a hug. „Cinna..." She hugged me back and whispered „please get me out of here!" The crowd at the train station already went crazy for the famous victors from 12. Nym pulled of her role as District assistant and greeted Peeta and Haymitch properly and then welcomed Effie back home. „play your role, little bird. We wil need your fans. It wont be long then we can talk." I let go of her and greeted the others as well. Then we made our way to the car that was supposed to take us to the Hotel or Prision where the Victors were keept. Peeta took Katniss hand and they both waved, trying to satisfy the crowd. Effie had decorated her face with the happiest, biggest smile that could fit on it and presented the starcrossed lovers to the fandom. Haymitch stayed behind them and Nym and I made the close.
In the car most of the smiles faded. Not Effies though. She keept chattering about all the interviews that planned and the appearances that had to be made. I looked at Nymeria who seemed to be deeply concerned with her Electronic Organization Pad. One of Snows kiss asses was sitting with us. I wondered if this was for safety or if Snow would have Katniss watched 24/7.
Nymeria:
I felt uncomfortable with my so called fathers' collegue sitting across from me. He seemed to monitor every single move of mine. Therefor I was more than relived when we arrived at the 'Tributes Palace' and he stayed in the car after we had all excited it. Our group took the lift up to the penthouse without any conversation. The silence was deafening. Not even Effie had something to say and that was a rare occasion. After we had finally entered the flat that was meant for District 12 Effie cleared her throat. „so, the first thing on our agenda is the ride on the carriges tomorrow morning and then snows speech. In the afternoon.." „we'll be in the training center." Katniss interrupted. „And tomorrow there will be an amazing intwerview with flickerman in the eveneing and before that we will spent our day in the center and with cinna who will use his magic to transform us into the couple the capitol wants to see. And then? Then we will die." She almost spat out the last 3 words before she stormed off into the room she'd sleept in last year. „she'll get herself together." Haymitch said and patted Effies shoulder mockingly. „I...this girl. I am going to bed. I will see you first thing tomorrow morning in Cinnas Studio. ALL of you." she focused on Haymitch as if she expected him to not show up. Then she left the Penthouse. „Wow. That started out great." Peeta said sarcastically. He turned to Cinna. „What is our plan?" „Good question." he replied. „We will keep playing your starcrossed lovers card. But eventhough the Capitol loves you guys, there are tributes they love aswell. It's like they tossed all the stars into a bin and now the people have to decide who's their favorite." „it's disgusting" I muttered. „Nevertheless" Cinna continued. „We hava a chance. You guys' engagement. This is a big thing. We have to keep presenting you as the couple they pity. Your show last year is not forgotten." „I dont care about getting myself out of there." Peeta focused on Cinna. „I just need Katniss to survive." „we all need her to survive." Haymitch clinged into the conversation. „But we need a lot of people to survive. If we want to win this war."
