A/n: I guess I forgot to tell you this, but if you are a loyal bearcat you will know this. My biggest pet peeve is when people give me hater comments and don't tell me what to fix, or how to fix it. I received 2 comments on this that I had to delete because they fell under that category for this story. So guys please if you have a problem that I can fix easily please tell me what it is so I can fix it. Thank you! Also the question of the chapter is; Nico has to have a best friend and I would prefer if she came from hunger games, so my question is who should it be? Tell me in the reviews.
Today is the tribute parade. *sigh* I really don't want to do this. Yesterday I washed out all the coloring from my hair, and wiped off all the lipstick I had on. Then I met Flavius and Octavia, my stylists. They pulled out all the hair on my body except for my head and eyebrows. It hurt so bad! When I was alone I let my wings of their concealment and flapped them a couple times. After a few minutes I felt a presence in the room with me. I turned around and saw Cinna gawking at me. I sighed and said, "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to do something?" He snapped out of it and started making adjustments to the dress for my wings. When I saw what it was I was surprised to see it was actually a black jumpsuit with a long train down the back. Cinna told me about how it was going to catch on fire. I started freaking out because of the Purge Day incident. *shudder.* He then explained that it was just fake fire, and that it wouldn't hurt me. That was when I felt stupid. I pulled on the outfit and walked out to the carriages and stood beside the one for 12. Then the girl from five came over. "Hi," I said to her. She just slightly smiled and asked, "Are those real or fake?" She was pointing to my wings. "Oh those," I said, "those are real. It must be strange talking to a girl who has extra limbs that aren't exactly human." She walked over to the carriage for 5 and just stood there. 'Okay then,' I thought. Then the horns sounded and we all got into out chariots. Peeta got into the chariot in the nick of time. Cinna and Portia came to light up the trains on our backs. I expected for it to hurt, but all that happened was that I felt a small tickling sensation. Then the horses started moving. I tried to calm the butterflies in my stomach, but to no avail. Peeta reached for my hand, I was slightly confused but then I got the notion. I slipped my hand into his and raised them up high for all to see. The crowd went absolutely nuts. We circled around the large courtyard and president Snow gave a few words before we started. Let the Hunger Games begin.
