The Capitol
The next morning Pira is coming in my room and exclaims that I have to get ready for breakfast. I rub my eyes and yaw. I look at her and I´m going to tell her to leave my room immediately but then I catch that I´m a tribute for the 68th annual Hungergames and have to be weak, nice and pathetic. So the only thing I do is nodding.
When she leaves the room I go into the bath and look into a mirror. Perfect, I look really horrible. I brush my teeth and put the clothes of yesterday on. Then I head to the dining room. This kid is talking with Blight who answers him some questions. I´m going to the table where we eat breakfast. There is food anywhere. Why the hell can´t the Capitol give this food the districts? From the food of the table a whole family could live 3 months. I see that Benjamin eats all he can get. The only thing I eat is some bread and some water. The Bitch tells us that they will soon repeat the Reaping.
So we go the television and watch it. The children of 1 are volunteers how every year witch such silly names: Crystall and Diamond. They don´t look that strong but the boy of 2 does. He´s big, around 17 or18 and has many muscles. The other districts aren´t interesting: there are only weaklings.
After this the Bitch tell us that she´ll mentor the kid and Blight will mentor me. Great, I think sarcastically. But he´s better than her. So they begin to tell us to learn us much as we can at the training center and to make allies. Yes sure. Like you can trust some other kid who wants to kill you.
Then we can go to our rooms where I think about my mother and Brandon. I miss them, especially Brandon. I want his advice. He would know what to do now. I sigh and fall asleep.
When I wake up the train drives not so fast. Probably we will arrive the Capitol soon. "We will arrive the Capitol soon" shouts Pira at me excitedly. Really? I think sarcastically. Too bad that I can´t roll my eyes now. Whatever. I rub my eyes and look one last time in the mirror. Perfect. Then I head to the doors. They open and we walk out of the train where a big crowd of people is standing. "Don´t cry" whispers the Bitch in my ear. Ok, I have to cry. Got it. "And try not to look too weak" And I have to be a pathetic, I translate. So I do and Bitch looks angrily at me. I want to laugh. Her whole face is red but she smiles to the audience.
We are taken to a big building where we will stay 2 weeks until we are going into the arena. In my room I close my eyes and fall asleep.
The next day Blight brings me to my prep team. They look ugly how all the Capitol people. I have to get naked and they make me "pretty". It hurts and since I have to be a weakling I cry the whole time. In the end they look very pissed. Inside I smile. Then my stylist Quak- such a terrible name- comes in and watches my body. I am naked but that´s no problem to me. Then he gives me the clothing I have to wear at the chariot ride and yes you have guessed right: I am a tree. Oh yes ha ha district 7 = tree, it´s the same every year and I hate it but it´s good for me. I like terrible and no one will take notice of me or they will think i´m a baby. Both things are alright.
At least there´s something good about it : Benjamin is also a tree. We both stand there pathetic while my stylist brabbles some strange stuff. " Seem strong" Ok, be weak, got it. "Smile to everyone in the audience" Look terrified and be pathetic the whole time. "and don´t cry" Cry, got it.
Then thy send us to the chariots and we drive inside. I begin to cry and there´s no single face who looks pleased at me. Perfect.
When all chariots arrive Snow greets us. Oh how I hate him. I want to kill him now. But of course there are anywhere Peacekeepers and the only thing I can do is imagining how my fingers will press his neck and how he´ll die. These thoughts are very good.
We get out of there and the first thing that happened is that my mentor shouts at me in front of all tributes. I cry hardly. This is so perfect. Actually I would hit her but now I have to be grateful that she helps me. All the other tributes look at me with disgust. Good. Then I am brought to my room where I fall asleep easily.
So that was the third chapter. The next will come soon. Like it? Don´t like it? Please review!
