By the time my Prep Team and Stylist have me dressed and looking the way they want me to the sun has just started to set, I feel sore from where they ripped out my hair and annoyed by how happily everyone from the Capital can talk about the murder of twenty two children in the Arena. They only asked about me at first but that was mainly because they wanted to get something to gossip about not because they care about me, then they spent the entire time talking about the Hunger Games but not in memory of the fallen Tributes but about what they were doing when each Tribute died. I can't stand them, they are sick bastards obsessed with murder and death. But I can't let them know I feel that way, so I smile and ignore them as they prep and dress me.
When they are done I really look different keeping my word with Darius, I am not sure whether I hate it or love it though. I should hate it because I am only wearing it because I murdered other Tributes but I can't help but like the way it looks on me, I wonder what Katniss is wearing. I am wearing a long black dress that goes down past my knees and has little sparkling silver gems all over it, my hair is straight and tucked behind my ears trailing down my back, my eyes looks beautiful thanks to their work and my arms are kept bare. As I stared into my reflection in the mirror I can't help but admire myself but at the same time I can't help but wonder, its winter so way am I wearing something like this when they know I will be outside? I don't have to wonder why for long, my Stylist puts a warm fur coat on me that goes well with the dress and makeup they put on me. I look beautiful, I can't wait for Katniss to see me like this. I can't wait to see Katniss ever, she has to look just as beautiful as I do possibly more so because Katniss is always beautiful no matter what she wears.
I step out of the room and am immediately wrapped into a tight suffocating hug, I can't see or breathe anything because the women's breasts are pressed into my face. I know she's from the Capital because of the smell of her and a women, I hope. It isn't until she lets go and I'm dizzy from lack of oxygen that I see who hugged me, Lena my Escort from the games and the women who draw my name from the bowl putting in the games. She looks happy smiling at me, her hair is still green but a lot shorter stopping at her waist and she's still wearing that green dress with high heels. She seems happy to see me as she takes my hand and guides me through a small crowd of Capital people towards the front door, as we walk I am blinded by several flashes but keep pace with Lena as she continues to lead and smile.
"Remember to smile Lisa" Lena tells me as we stop in front of the door. "You and Katniss will be on camera as soon as she joins us so put on a big smile"
"Ok" I reply putting on a big smile like Lena told me to but as soon as I look back and see Katniss that smile is wiped from my face, she looks more than beautiful so much so that I don't think there is a word that describe how she looks now. She is wearing a dress that goes down past her knees like mine but hers is a forest green that suits her so well and her dress is also sparkling like my own and a matching fur coat, her hair is tied up in her normal braid and her face only has minimal makeup not that she needs any anyway, her beautiful face doesn't need any help to shine. "Katniss" I surprise myself that I could even so her name with a clear voice, the way her beauty is making my heart beat and mind race I thought it would come out in a stumer. "You look great"
"Thank you" Katniss replies with a smile that doubles her beauty and blushing slightly. "You look good too"
"Before you too go any further" Haymitch interrupts stepping between us and breaking the trance that Katniss put me in. "You two need to move and remember your on camera"
With that Haymitch opens the door and gently shoves us out of the door where we are blinded nearly instantly by millions of flashing bright lights, I just have enough time to put my smile back on as we leave the house and I feel Katniss grab my hand. I take her soft warm hand in my own as we start to walk forward blindly walking through the sea of bright flashing lights, it's a miracle that we didn't trip and fall as we blindly make our way forward. Taking a quick look over my shoulder I see Haymitch, Lena and Katniss's escort following close behind us and the Prep teams and Stylist right behind them, we walk forward until we are at the gates to the Victor Village where we are expected to stand. Katniss and I have memorised everything we are meant to do on this tour, the Capital made sure of that by sending us letter after letter explaining what we must do and when we must do it. Right now Katniss and I are meant to just stand here and have our pictures taken, judging by the flashes because I can't see a thing I think that ever journalist in the Capital has turned up here.
Once that is done we walk to the train station where we have another photo shoot before boarding the train and mercifully departing, I don't know how I am not blind from all those flashes. We walk to the dinning cart where I can already smell our dinner waiting for us, it's there where I get a welcome surprise. I see my father and drop Katniss's hand so I can hug him, Johanna is here too but I only hug my father. I missed him so much and only thought I would see him when we arrive in District Seven but here he is right in front of me, I hug him tightly and he hugs me back. I really missed and am glad to see him, I'm also glad to notice my mother is missing because she is the one person from Seven that I don't miss one bit. I could happily live the rest of my life without ever seeing her again, she is mean, cruel and full of hate. I'm glad she's not here, but I am dreading the day when we arrive back in my home District because Katniss and I will be living with that women for a weekend. The Capital decided to make our stop in Seven last longer so I can spend time with friends and family, I don't like the idea because I know my mother will hate Katniss because she's from a poor District. My mother hates everyone who's poor, she looks down her noise at them and treats them worse than the dirt she gets on her shoes.
"I missed you Lisa" My father tells me as we break our hugs, he looks and me with a smiling face and tears in his eyes. "How have you been?"
"Fine" I tell him as I feel myself crying, I knew I missed him but not this much until now. "I've meet a lot of new people and been just fine"
"How are you and Katniss?" My father asks me which makes me blush a little as I answer.
"We are good dad" I answer with a slight smile. "We argue from time to time but always make up, but apart from that we are good"
"That's good to hear" My dad replies with a smile. "I'm glad you found someone that makes you happy, I can't remember the last time you were so happy your skin is glowing"
"I think that it's just what my Prep team did that's making it glow" I say making him laugh.
"Maybe" My dad says as he start's to usher me towards the dining table. "We will see tomorrow but for now it's time to eat"
"And stop leaving your girl alone" Johanna adds, I can see her put her arms around Katniss's shoulders with a smirk on her face. "The poor girls jealous"
"I'm not" Katniss quickly snaps back as she ducks under Johanna's arm and takes a step away from Johanna.
"See she's angry" Johanna says as she takes a seat, we all soon follow her lead and sit down at the table.
Katniss and I sit down next to each other as far away from Johanna as we can, I don't think it's good to let them two speak to each other for too long. Dinner is served almost as soon as we sit down and it smells and looks delicious, an Avox place a plate which is still steaming hot, it's some kind of meat with vegetables covered in gravy and to drink they pour us each a glass of wine. This meal looks so good I'm nearly drooling, I'm almost tempted to stuff the whole plate into my mouth but I have enough restraint to not do that. A quick glance over my shoulder I can see Katniss is having just as much trouble as I am, I can tell by just one quick look that she's thinking of diving right in and stuffing hr mouth like I am. But never of us do that, we both eat with cutlery at a slow pace savouring the delicious meal. The only good thing about the Capital is their cooking, their meals always tastes better than anything anyone in the Districts could make.
"You two lovebirds" Haymitch says getting both Katniss's and my own attention, both of us reluctantly stop eating our meal and look at him. I don't know about Katniss but I hope he's got a good excuse for interrupting my meal or he will end up wearing his. "We will be in District Eleven in the morning so you two will need to get to sleep early and be ready to leave the train by nine, also remember not to cause any trouble"
"We already know that" I reply slightly ignored that I was interrupted from my meal to be told something I already know.
"But I have to keep reminding you two" Haymitch tells us before taking a swig from a flask, I notice that his wine glass is already empty. "And remember you kept ignoring me no matter how many times I told you not go into the woods you two still did, so if you can't remember to follow that rule then I will need to remind you over and over again about this"
"I thought I told you to behave" I hear my father's voice say sending a shiver down my spine, he's a nice man normally but when I did something wrong he is scary. "You knew what was going on and you still broke several laws"
"Sorry I couldn't stay away from the trees" I say hoping he may let me off because we are on the Victor Tour right now.
"It was my fault" Katniss says, all of our heads turn to her as she looks at my dad.
"It's not your fault" I tell her but Katniss doesn't agree, she just turns to face me and says.
"I needed to get stuff in the wood and you didn't" Katniss says looking down at her food. "I shouldn't have let you come"
"I chose to come" I reply putting my hand on her shoulder. "You never asked me but I insisted on coming and wanted too"
"It's both you faults! So now can we continue?" Johanna snaps shutting both Katniss and I up and know everyone's attention is on her. "Fire Girl started it and Brainless here was stupid enough to go along with it" Johanna tells us while shaking her head. "Now both of you shut up and listen"
"That's enough Johann" My dad tells her taking over the conversation. "We need you two to stay on you best behaviour during this tour, stick to the scripts the Capital has provided and no matter what, do not do anything that can be seen as rebellious. You've already stirred up this mess so we can't have you two making it any bigger, if you want to live then you must listen to us and do as we say without questions or hesitations. Do you two understand?"
"Yes" Both Katniss and I reply with a nod of our head.
"Good now finish you dinner then go straight to bed" My father tells us, I haven't heard him tell me those words for years and never expected to hear those words again. "We have a lot to discuss alone so don't come back here"
We all eat our food in silence for the rest of the meal no one feels like talking after being reminded of what's at stake if we fail, death for all of us and our families. The meal is still nice though although cold by the time we get back to eating, I take my time to savour ever but that also brings Johanna's glare. She probably thinks I'm eating slowly just to stay up later, although I know that isn't the case I still speed up my eating to avoid her anger. By the time I'm done everyone is finished everyone is waiting for me so I just finish what's left in my wine glass and stand up, Katniss quickly stands up too and we start to leave.
"Try not to make too much noise" Johanna says with a smirk as we leave, I feel my check redden at that comment. Why does Johanna only have three things on her mind? Sex, axes and sarcasm. "We have things to discuss and don't want to be distracted"
"Shut up Johanna" I warn her before I turn to leave but bump right into Katniss who looks clueless, I was really expecting her to at least get that one and be embarrassed.
"What did Johanna mean by that?" Katniss asks me but Johanna beats me at answering that question first.
"I mean keep it down while you fuck each other's brains out" Johanna answers as her smirk grows, meanwhile Katniss's face reddens just like mine as she finally gets it. "So now that you get it try and keep you moans down or use a gag"
"Johanna that's enough" I warn her as I take Katniss's arm and start to pull her out of the room.
Katniss and I go straight to our room, we have been given one room because we are a couple now. It isn't too bad as we normally share a bed at nights, it helps us with our nightmares and we both enjoy each other's warmth as we sleep. Our room is nice and big, we both have our own draws and wardrobes, there's a door leading to our own bathroom and our bed is nice and big with a thick warm looking blanket. We take turns showing washing off our makeup and redressing in our sleepwear, once dressed we both crawl under the covers for the night. We lay side by side on our sides facing each other and staring into each other's eyes, I always love drifting off to sleep like this with the last thing I see before closing my eyes is Katniss's gorgeous face. Normally through the night we move but as we drift off to sleep we are always looking in each other's eyes, it's nice, comforting and the perfect sight before I fall asleep. But this time it's different, Katniss snuggles closer until our noises are only inches apart and I feel her breath on my lip making them tingle.
"Lisa what are we going to do?" Katniss whisperers gentle as fear, worry and cluelessness shows up in her eyes. "We are in trouble and so far has only made things worse"
"It will get better" I tell her pulling her into a hug, her head nests itself into my neck causing a warmth to spread from my neck throughout my body. "We survived the Arena so we can survive this. It's just more of the Games, a more dangerous version of the Games but still something we can survive"
"You right we can survive this" Katniss replies before she moves her head so she can give my lips a quick gentle kiss. "Thank you for helping me"
"We help and protect each other remember" I tell her. "That's how we survived the Arena and that's how we will survive this, together we can take anything they throw at us"
"Right together" Katniss says nesting her head back in my neck. "Together we can do anything, goodnight Lisa"
"Goodnight Katniss" I reply as we drift off into a peaceful sleep still wrapped in each other's arms, this position is good too.
I fall asleep with the girl I love safe in my arms felling there is nothing we can't do as long as we are together, we survived everything so and will survive this. The Games may have been just a warm up to this but we are ready for what is to come, as long as we are together the Capital can't beat us no matter how hard or what it tires we will beat it. Knowing that I fall asleep smiling into Katniss's hair, we will make it back home to our families and live a long happy life together.
