I'm gunna try to submit new chapter each week if i can and thanks for the follows and review that i got. :) ENJOY:)
Katniss POV:
About twenty minutes went by. In those minutes I thought of how much I wanted to go home. I missed my sister and surprisingly I really wanted to see my mom. Over the past year she really stepped up and looked after Prim. I just never realised how much I underestimated them both. While I was away, my mother had taught Prim about medicines and remedies. Prim showed me this when Gale got hurt.
My thoughts were again broken by someone calling my name from down stairs. I slumped my way to the stairs until I saw who was standing in the doorway. It was Cinna, the only person from the capitol that really understood my situation all through the games. He was one of the only other people I really trusted apart from Peeta and Prim, sometimes Haymitch. He looked up at me with his dark eyes lined with golden eye-liner. I ran down the stairs and threw my arms around him.
"Now how is my 'Girl on Fire'?"
"A lot better now" I whispered into his ear.
He pulled me away from the hold and looked at me straight in the eye.
"Let's go get you made you made up for tonight. Not that we need to do much." I laughed slightly at his comment and sent a quick smile towards Peeta. He smiled back before getting pulled away by Portia and Flavius.
When we reached my room, Cinna sent me into the bathroom to take a shower while he set out my outfit for the night. I used the pine fresh scent in the shower just to make myself feel a little bit at home before adding a slight hint of vanilla.
I stepped out of the shower and walked back into my room. Cinna held the dress in front of me and looked me up and down.
"Perfect. Not over-dressed or under dressed. It's just right." His placed the dress on the bed again and immediately left the room. I stared at it and was so happy with what Cinna had done. It was simply black and came down to my mid-thigh with lace covering the whole dress and a love heart shape around my bust. From there to my neckline and across my shoulders was also covered by lace and down my back also. Like Cinna said; not over or under dressed. It was perfect.
Once I had put it on, I called Cinna back into the room. "You look beautiful Katniss. Everyone at the party will want to dance with you."
I looked at him confused. "Party? I thought we were just having dinner here with Mr. Odair?" I exaggerated the last word showing how much I didn't like him. Cinna laughed at this. "You are the first person ever I have met that wasn't charmed by his looks.''
"Charm? Is that what they call it? I call it unwanted attention!" Cinna laughed again. "Come on Katniss. Let's finish you up."
Within minutes my hair and make-up were all done. Cinna had obviously been doing this for years. I looked into the mirror to see my hair in a braid across the front before circling into a messy but sophisticated bun. I put on my shoes, black high heel boots with laces finishing at my ankles. It was simple but effective. Just like Cinna.
I got to the bottom of the stairs and saw everyone dressed up ready to go. As soon as my foot hit the wooden floor everyone turned to me and smiled. Peeta walked up to me and held out his arm. "You look amazing." I smiled at his comment but felt a little out of depth. I never got used to people commenting on everything I wore, and I don't think I ever will. I roped my arm around his and we all stepped outside. Effie did look slightly normal tonight in a floor length pink dress of course and had her hair tightly pushed into a bun ten times the size of mine. Both Haymitch and Peeta did look quite charming themselves tonight. Surprisingly Effie was on Haymitch's arm but I could see he wasn't very pleased about it.
As we walked towards the town centre, we passed the rest of the victor's houses and I just looked each house up and down, pointing out how they were different to district 12.
But when we came to the last house on the left i was already repulsed by it. Not so much the house but it's occupant. It was Finnick's house and he was on the front verandah leaning against one if the posts. I glared at him as we walked past but he caught my eye then smiled and waved at me. I looked away immediately not amused by his personality. He quickly grabbed his coat and ran down to join us.
"Evening Katniss, Peeta" he spoke so alarmingly cheeky and biting on a sugar cube.
"Afternoon Finnick" Peeta spoke so casual toward him it made me slightly tense.
Finnick walked on the other side of me and matched his pace to mine, but again walked with a sort if strut.
"Isn't it just beautiful out here? With all the stars and... Fresh air?" He moved closer to me when speaking the last part. I smelt an enticing sea scent off him but different to the beach nearby.
Peeta watched how close Finnick was to me and I could feel his curious eyes to see what I would do next.
"Yeah. It's definitely beautiful tonight" Peeta replied. Sometimes he just knows when I'm too angry or upset to say anything.
"It sure is. But I have to say Katniss, you look quite the eye catcher tonight" he spoke in his seductive voice again. I just wanted to tell him to go away but with Effie present, it wouldn't be a good idea.
"Thanks Finnick. But I'm sure everyone will be looking at you tonight, with you good looks and all" I tried to sound as sarcastic as I could but after saying it I knew he would use it against me.
He laughed at first. "Don't worry Katniss there is plenty of me to go around" he whispers into me ear before walking ahead of us in a casual pace. I noticed at this point what he was wearing. He wore a loose white button up shirt but it was placed right to show his muscles that corrupted his torso. I had thought to myself that he was a little bit attractive but I would never admit it to anyone no matter how much I trusted them. I focused back on Finnick. He also wore loose fitting black pants and a thick brown belt separating his torso from below. He did have a fantastic stature but the reason he had it disgusted me. I noticed he had something around his neck. Thick large beads stuck out from the collar of his shirt and recognised it as a necklace. I thought it was odd for a man but I guess it's normal around here. While still examining Finnick's body shape and structure, he had turned around and grinned at me before winking and continuing his pace. I just rolled my eyes and focused on something else. Before long we reached the tall brick building that was waiting for our presence.
sorry that i ramble a bit but i always feel like i have to tell every little detail and i know there wasn't heaps of Finnick in this one but I absolutely promise that he will be one of the mains in the next chapter. Thanks again for reading and any suggestions are welcome or criticism. I dont mind :) and again any reviews appreciated...
