Ok, going to start from the same District I left of with because I think this chapter is a good place to get to know this tribute. Also the chariot outfits, as I said, are the one that I liked the most from the people who submitted them for each District.
Adena Heliconia (District 12)
I stood naked in front of the prep team, I hated this, I was always insecure but I guess they're only here to help me make an impression on the capitol, and the only way to do that was to look your best. I had already been stripped of hair everywhere except my head and been scrubbed free of dirt.
"How skinny do you need to be?" One of the prep team said, she seemed horrified. It's called having no food, I thought spitefully. "Oh dear, we'll have to do something about these scars!" another exclaimed as she touched my back.
I had been whipped in the past for being caught hunting with my older brother Kale. My family were starving back in district 12, what other choice did we have?
The prep team sprayed something over my back which sent a chill down my spine and then they began spreading some sort of cream carefully along my scars. After around ten minutes of this, a woman with long green hair and paper-white skin walked in.
"Adena," she grabbed my hand and kissed it, I felt so uncomfortable now. A member of the prep team came over and passed me a towel; I took it and wrapped myself in it. "I'm Loritia, your stylist." I smiled at her.
She grabbed my face with her hand, "yes, yes, my design will look splendid on you. Please, this way." She turned on her heels and clicked her fingers at me.
I followed her into the back where I changed into my outfit, it looked beautiful. It was a black one piece leotard with a skirt that opened at the front, to show my legs, the skirt had a trail which looked to be on fire as it had orange, yellow, red and blue feathers and ribbons along it. I also wore a golden miner's helmet, golden boots and arm bands. All together I looked beautiful.
I wondered what the other tributes would wear. Would they look as magnificent as me? District 1 and 2 always did a great job, but could District 12 outdo them this year?
"Thanks," I said and she smiled. She seemed completely proud of her work and she should be.
Saffra Rankine (District 2)
I waited for Leonis to turn up; my outfit looked stunning; it was a long liquid-gold dress which seemed to shimmer in the light. My arms had been bejewelled and I wore a stunning golden tiara. My stylist had really gone to town this year.
Leonis turned up alongside our mentor; Chand. Leonis lifted the corners of his lips up slightly, it wasn't quite a smile but it was close enough so I smiled back.
We weren't joining the same alliance; he was going to make one with the girl from 1 and the two tributes from 4, I didn't know who yet, but I was going to join a separate alliance.
This would be the first year in a long time where the District 2 tributes hadn't made an alliance, but let's face it; I'm a girl from District 2 who has a rich Dad, not a career.
However we had made an agreement that he wouldn't attack me in the blood bath, which I guess is all I can ask for, he didn't say he wouldn't attack me as the game went on and he didn't promise that the other careers wouldn't attack me in the blood bath, he couldn't make that type of promise without losing the respect from his alliance. It was Chands idea; surprisingly he actually cared for me a little. Apparently he and my father had passed a word on the odd occasion.
Leonis was wearing golden pants and t-shirt and he had his arms bejewelled like mine but other than that he was wearing body armour over his chest made from stone. I guess this was a way to remind the audience that he was a career and I was not. Great way to show me up.
"I'm going to talk to Silver," Leonis announced and he walked over to the district 1 tribute who was already talking to the District 4 tributes. I had to sort out an alliance, but who with? I had already debated about the boy from 1 but I hadn't really looked at any one else. I'll probably talk to them during training.
Laurel Keene (District 9)
Nat and I stood talking to each other; he was a really loving and gentle boy and had tried to cheer me up along the train ride.
We looked great in our outfits. I had grain tied into my hair and a brown dress with grain spiking out around it. I had a brown belt around my waist and cow boy boots. His was the exact same but with pants and a t-shirt. We didn't look as good as some other districts but I definitely liked it.
I stroked the beautiful white horse on its nose and offered it a sugar cube. Nat and I were both just thirteen and both quite small so we had agreed to stick together.
"Ok you two, onto the chariots," Our escort, Jade told us. We both climbed on and held onto the handle bars. I wasn't looking forward to the chariot ride; I didn't want everyone to be looking at us.
The anthem played, the door opened, and before I knew it the District 1 tributes were riding off in their silver outfits covered in Diamonds.
I looked at my escort and she just smiled at me, I didn't want to do this.
Jace Trickle (District 11)
The District 10 tributes set off in their Cowboy-like outfits and before I knew it, it was our turn. We set off. The chariot that we were in was filled with wheat that went up to my knees; it rose higher on Maxi because she was only 12. She was wearing a wheat coloured top and wheat coloured shorts whereas I was just in wheat coloured shorts.
The crowd cheered for us and began shouting Maxi's name; they always loved the younger ones. Maxi giggled at this and I couldn't help smiling either. There was something so innocent about Maxi, I was sure she'd get many sponsors for this.
The chariots circled the area twice before they began entering the training centre.
Once in the training centre we stepped off the chariot spilling wheat onto the floor. I was about to crouch down and pick it up but our escort told me to leave it so I did.
"You two did just wonderfully!" The stylist Kiera chirped, clasping her hands together. I raised my eyebrows at her; somehow I pitied her for her stupidity. This wasn't any fashion parade, this was a fight to the death, but of course Kiera wouldn't see this.
"Ok, that's over with, we need to go up to our district floor, we will talk about what you're good at later, tomorrow is your first training session." I nodded. I looked towards Maxi. It was so unfair allowing someone so small to fight with people like me. Many of the tributes, including myself were twice the size of her, so unfair!
We walked over to the elevator and Dai, our escort, punched in 11.
Our Floor had an excellent view of the Capitol, which seemed to make Maxi happy; we went to our separate rooms to get changed from our chariot costumes into something more comfortable.
Pleasee leave a review :) Thank you, also, I've began wondering who on earth is going to die in the blood bath? I don't know who :( I have a few which I know I am deffinatly going to kill off and theres a few who deffinatley wont... I guess you guys won't fully know untill training and stuff their weaknessess and stuff but yeah, still, if you have an idea.
Also if there's a tribute you want me to write about in the next chapter because you don't know much about them - let me know. Next will be training and before training and stuff :)
Another thing...who do you think should form alliances? DM me or leave it in a review :) Thanks,xx
