"Goodnight kitty, ill wake you up if you have a bad one." She whispers.
"I'll wake you up too Annie. Don't worry your safe for tonight." I say
I hear her sigh a sigh of relief and I close my eyes to try and get some sleep, but I know that tonight I'll be waking up very soon.
"Finally." I mutter as I see Haymitch walk into the break room. We were called for a "meeting" today. He probably just wants to announce some new plan to attract more customers. I actually think we're doing pretty well here at The Archetype.
"Ok, let's get straight to the point; I'm sure many of you have heard about this Saturday's party." He says
"The Nightlock ball?" Madge asks.
"Does it really matter what it's called, Blondie?"
"No." Madge says and rolls her eyes.
"How I was saying before I got rudely interrupted, I'm going to be going since its "recommended"-my ass! It's basically required for you to show up so you can keep your business running smoothly. Snow will be there with his right hand Seneca Crane. Snow basically helps your business run smoothly; anyways I kind of need to make a good impression since my wife, Effie will be there too. She's very…interesting. Even though the ball is open to the public, many high class people will be there and that's when ya come in" he says while gesturing to us with his hand.
"I want all of you to attend. You just have to be at my side for a while, some picture, and quick interviews. You know the drill. You should take dates, and since this is a masquerade party, make sure to get yourself a mask and ladies wear a fancy high society looking dress and you guys just make sure you wear a tux. My wife will be here tomorrow actually she said she wants to talk to you all, she's going to give you some tips for Saturday. Well that's pretty much it, you can go now." He says and we head to the door.
"Oh, sweetheart. Hold on, I need to talk to you." Ugh. Great, I'm probably getting fired again.
"What is it?" I ask
"I just wanted to tell you that you'll be singing once in a while here. I'm not sure when yet since Effie's, been planning all that out. I'll let you know when."
"Oh, and I'll let you know how much well be paying you for singing. You can go now." He says and I make my way to the door.
"What did he say brainless?" Johanna asks
"Yeah, what did he say?" Madge asks.
"He just wanted to tell me that I'll be singing here once in a while." I say and they both smile.
"I knew it brainless!"
"I told you! You have a beautiful voice." Madge gushes.
"Johanna! We have to go shopping again! We all bought club looking dresses we need some gala looking kind!" Annie says. She looks a bit worried.
"Were going after work, crazy." Jo says.
"What about the new ones we bought?" I ask. I did not just waste money on that dress and not wear it.
"Don't worry; well throw a party when you come back from visiting prim." Jo says. I roll my eyes, she probably knew we were going to have to wear gala type dresses.
"Did you know about this Jo!" I ask
"Maybe, but who cares brainless? You know you like the dress."
I huff. We were at that store for what? 5 hours. I don't want to go again.
"Ugh! Fine whatever." I say and leave.

We headed to the mall after we got off work. We were going to help Madge out first since she had a date with Gale tonight. We found a long goldish looking dress with sequins all over it. It looked beautiful on her, like it was made just for her. She bought gold high heels with a peep toe and had a bow on them. Once she paid for them she ran out the door as if she was being chased by a wild pack of dogs.
Annie found an aqua green long flowy dress. She looked like a beautiful mermaid actually, and the dress made her eyes pop out. it looked very magical. She bought turquoise pumps.
Johanna almost got in a fight for her dress. She was about to get it when some other lady pushed her and took the dress with her into the fitting room. Fortunately one of the employees saw what had happened and told Jo that there was more in the back room, and that she'd be right back. Johanna ended up buying that dress. It was a white long dress with a slit on the leg. She actually looked like an angel which is pretty ironic. I loved her shoes actually, there white platform heels with a peep toe and a bow.
I on the other hand didn't find anything. None of the dresses where my type. So we decided to go get something to eat and go to another store since we were all hungry.
After that we head to another store called Portia & Cinnas. Were greeted by a beautiful women. She has caramel colour skin, which suits her well.
"Hello, I'm Portia, how can I help you tonight?" she asks.
"Well my friend Kat, here can't find a dress. We're going to the nightlock masquerade ball everyone's been talking about." Annie replies.
"I'm sure my husband, Cinna's got just the thing." she says and smiles my way. As If on cue he comes to greet us. Portia explains the situation and he smiles at me. I notice he's wearing a line of gold eyeliner on his eye lid. It's much better than all the other clothes designers' style and I actually like it.
Annie and Johanna follow Portia so they can get there masks and some jewellery, while I stay behind with Cinna.
"Katniss, I think I have just the dress for you." He states
"Oh, alright." I say not knowing what else to say.
"I'm going to be at the ball too. But there's one problem." He says
"What is it?" I ask.
"Well, this dress I'm going to give you is actually my new dress. My model quit on me actually just about a week ago." He says and I nod and he continues.
"I was actually going to get her to wear it on Saturday for the ball…well could you wear it?" he asks. What kind of question is that? I'll wear it if he lets me buy it.
"Well, can I?"
"Yes, but what I'm trying to say is would you be my model? I would pay you and you would only have to take a few photos here and there and since you are going to be wearing a mask, no one will know who you are which will be even better. Mysterious beauty, that's what they'll say about you and once you dance, you'll be known as the girl on fire." He says very excitedly. He looks like he's daydreaming…it's kind of weird.
"So you're asking me if I could become your model…" I ask and he nods.
I sigh. How am I supposed to tell this man no? My gosh! What am I getting myself into?
"Ok, I'll do it but only because my face will be covered." I say.
"Thank you Katniss, really. You don't know how much this means to me. Do you have a date?" he asks.
"She does." Johanna says from behind me. When did she get there?
"Yeah I do" I say.
"I have a tux too actually. Do you think he could come by sometime tomorrow? I have to finish designing the shoes too so I would like you to come with him."
"Yeah, ok I'll be back tomorrow." I say
"Well, you can try on the dress tomorrow too; I want to see it on you with your heels."
"Alright, I'll be back tomorrow." I say and we head out. I hope Peeta will agree to come tomorrow.
