As soon as I'm through the door to the roof Johanna grabs hold of my hand and starts to drag me down the stairs forcing me to pick up the pace or fall down the stairs. Johanna's not happy with me, I can tell she's not by the painfully tight grip she has on my hand. Johanna continues to drag me at a relentless pace until we are back on our floor, she leads me to my room and throws me inside. It's a struggle to keep my balance with the force that she throw me with but somehow I manage to put my hand out in front of me in time to break my fall. I quickly get to my feet and look at Johanna who's stood between me and my busted bedroom door blocking my only way out. Johanna looks at me like a piece of meat examining every inch of my body and ever curve. It's a struggle to keep my arms at my side instead of covering my body that they are itching to do but what's more worrying is her smile, it's not because she likes what she's looking at its something else and that's what making me nervous. I don't know why she's smiling.
"So brainless how are we going to present you?" Johanna asks as she starts to circle my body looking at me even more closely. "Are we going to sly like your father suggested on the train or…" Johanna reaches my front again and smiles. "Sexy like Bright said"
"I um" I try to reply but Johanna press a finger to my lips stopping me.
"It's not your choice its mine" Johanna tells me. "We will start with the boring sly then move onto the fun sexy part later so I have something to look forward to"
"But I..." I try to complain but one stare from Johanna is enough to shut me up. I don't know what's scarier, Johanna's stare or her skill with an axe. "Where do we start?"
We all day doing the same thing over and over again, Johanna makes me speak in different ways, use different expressions and gestures with my hands. I feel like I'm Johanna's puppet and she's pulling my strings forcing my every move. Knowing Johanna as well as I do I know she's loving this, ever since we moved onto sexy she's been smiling none stop. I'm starting to want to smack her is well, everything I do is wrong, wrong and wrong to her. In her opinion I'm a useless brainless girl who can't do anything by herself. The only reason why there isn't a red hand shaped mark on the side of her face is because I know she can easily kill me, I've seen how vicious she is even without a weapon and images from her games is enough to keep me from striking.
"You still don't arousal me brainless" Johanna moans as she sighs falling back onto my bed. "At this rate people will start using you as a turn-off"
"Then you do it then" I snap back and instantly regret it when she sits up, I think she might strike me when she silently stands up and walks towards me. But instead she pulls me close to her and places her mouth to my ear so close that I can feel her breath and it sends a shiver down my spine. All I can do is whimper. "Johanna"
"Sexy enough for you" Johanna whispers before letting me go, her voice is indeed sexy and for a moment I'm tempted to throw her onto the bed and tear off her clothes. "No try again" Johanna tells me returning to her normal voice and sitting down once again on my bed. "Go on what are you waiting for"
"Fine how about…" I was about to do the most perfect imitation of Johanna and hope she doesn't have less self-control then me and rip my clothes off when I give her a taste of her own medicine, but someone choices this moment to make an appearance.
"Sorry to interrupt but it's time for the stylist to have some fun with her" I hear Blight say and I turn to see him and my prep team standing in my broken doorway.
"Well Brainless I know you won't do well but at least try not to embarrass yourself too much" Johanna tells me as she walks towards the door.
"Well team she's all yours" Blight says and the prep team waste no time in barging in and starting their work on my body.
An hour later I have been stripped, polished dressed and covered in makeup. I look into a mirror and only barely recognise myself, only my green eyes are all that remain of me, my brown hair has several shades of green ribbon running through out it, my face looks like a proper capital lady according to my prep team, red lip stick, black eye liner and white want ever it is covering my face. My dress is a green dress that shows off my chest and only barely passes my hips, all my exposed shin is covered in the same white stuff used on my face and on my feet are a pair of high heels. I hate high hells, they always make me feel unbalance and to be honest I just don't like them. According to my prep time I look just like a Capital lady but I think I look just like a Capital whore, god dam you Johanna you were planning me doing the sexy thing from the beginning. I saw I will fucking kill her for this.
"Well I take it" Johanna says from the behind me, I watch her reflection walk up to me in the mirror. "I guess you don't have to say a thing and everyone will still want you" Johanna leans down to my ear again, I don't move knowing she will only grab hold of me if I try and then she whispers. "Even Twelve"
"What?" I ask trying not to shout and draw attention to myself. Even with my face buried under all this white stuff my face turns a red as a tomato and Johanna's grin is only making it worse.
"You heard me" Johanna whispers. "Just do what I did to you earlier and you will bed her tonight, I could tell you were tempted to fuck me then"
"Shut up shut up SHUT UP!" I explode causing Johanna to jump back and everyone in the room to look at me. How could she know I was tempted? Also why does she insist I have a thing for Katniss? It's true that when I'm around her I get nervous but that doesn't mean shit, I could be wary of danger around her for all I know.
"I take it I was right" Johanna grins taking a step back. "Just remember someone broke your door"
"That was you!" I scram back as Johanna backs out of the room.
I'm still pretty pissed as Karl and I wait in line to be interviewed, Karl must know I'm in a bad mood but I guess he has enough sense to keep quiet. It's a smart move, the way I'm feeling right now means I could punch the next person who asks me how I feel. Right now on the stage is the District One is on stage, I think her name is Glimmer. She looks like a total slut but I can't complain because I do too thanks to Johanna, it's taken all I got not to cover my bare thighs and barely covered chest. On stage though Glimmer seems to be taking it in her stride, she's wearing a pink version of what I'm wearing only hers is transparent and you can just make out her underwear underneath, her body language and voice is only making her sexier and I'm starting to think she really is a whore.
"So Glimmer are you prepared for the games?" Caesar Flickerman asks her smiling like he does for every Tribute.
"Yes, Caesar, I am very prepared" Glimmer replies in a voice that matches Johanna's from her sexy example.
Her District Partner is next Marvel is his name, he's wearing a blue suit and throughout his interview he makes joke after joke after joke. I have the feeling he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He gets some laughs from the audience with his bad jokes but mostly because of Caesar. Caesar does this for everyone no matter where they are from or what the person is like, he can make any Tribute shine and look good. That's fantastic, I'm going to need all of his help to look good. That's Johanna's words not mine. Clover enters the stage next wearing a pretty orange dress that really suits her. She comes across arrogant and sarcastic but oddly sweet is well, I don't know how someone can be all those but she's somehow done it and the crowd loves her for it. They are cheering for her even after she's left the stage but they soon quickly go quiet as a monster takes the stage. Dressed in a black suit that makes him look smart Cato takes to the stage.
"So Cato what do you think about the other Tributes?" Caesar asks him as they take their seats.
"Apart from the Careers there's nothing to worry about" Cato answers sounding arrogant and menacing.
"But Lisa and Katniss scored higher than anyone" Caesar questions getting a few mumbles from the audience. "Both got eleven"
"They will be dead soon" Cato tell him looking into the cameras, I guess I should feel scared but I'm too angry to feel anything but rage. "That eleven has made them my first target and it will be good to finally shut Lisa up"
"And that brings me onto my next question" Caesar says. "Tell us, is it true that you and Lisa fought on the first day of training?"
"Yes and I wish the Peacekeepers didn't break it up before I taught her a lesson" Cato replies cracking his knuckles. "But I can do that in the area before I kill her"
"Well Cato your time is up" Caesar says as the buzzer sounds. "Cato everybody"
The crowd cheers clearly loving the fact that they have a grudge match between me and Cato to look forward to. I don't know how he can be made about our little fight he won after all but I guess I may of stuck a knife in his pride then twisted it when I outscored him in training. Images of Cato smashing his room and cursing me finally lifts my spites, not enough that I no longer feel angry but enough to make me not punch the next person I see. Cato walks off the stage clearly a crowd favourite judging from the cheering that sends vibrations through the ground. I can see Cato as he enters the back stage area smiling smugly and looking like he feels unstoppable. You know what I can't wait for the area ever, it will be the perfect time to wipe that smile off his face.
District three now takes the stage, the girl makes no impact at all. She wears a plain grey dress and she acts nervous and shy, it could be an act to trick us all into leaving her alone like Johanna did but I doubt the girl can be a real threat. She looks like someone can snap her in half with only one hand and any could easily over power her. I make a mental note right here and now to keep my guard up around her, she may not be able to fight but she looks smart enough to make some kind of poison. As soon as her interview is done Caesar welcomes her male District Partner onto the stage, he looks handsome in his yellow suit and the yellow colour of it really makes his pretty eyes stand out more making him look even more handsome. He tries to sound deadly but it's a perfetic attempt, for one his body language makes him look afraid and his voice doesn't sound stead, it keeps breaking up making him look more nervous and afraid.
District Four now takes to the stage the girl looks happy and cheerful and the boy looks scared and terrified. They are complete opposites. The girl laughs every threat off and is completely charming, the boy on the other hand barely sys a word and when he does he stutters and is hard to hear. I can hear the Careers laughing at him and mocking him, I look around but can't spot them but I hear them laugh harder and louder with each answer the boy gives the Caesar's questions. The District Five girl takes the stage with the crowd still mumbling and the Careers still giggling about the last boy. She doesn't stand out but she makes that work for her, she acts all sly and evasive which seems to be almost natural to her. I make another mental note to watch out for her too. Her District Partner and the Tributes from District six come and go making no impression at all, I can't remember what they wore, said or did on stage.
"Now then let's welcome to the stage Cato's rival" Caesar announces and I should feel nervous but my anger is still all I can feel. I step onto the stage and into a blinding light, a deafening applause and an overly happy Caesar. Why is everything in the Capital always over the top? "Lisa Littleton how are you?"
"I'm Fine Caesar thank you asking" I reply as I take my seat across from him.
"Now then I think we are all interested in you rivalry with Cato so tell us all about it" Caesar says motioning to the crowd as he does. "We are all dying to know aren't we?"
The crowd nearly deafens me again in response.
"Well Caesar" I begin to reply knowing this is a chance to attack Cato and one I don't won't to miss. "We were all eating lunch peacefully one day a Cato came over chewing with his mouth open and eating with his hands" If you were new here or an idiot looking at the crowd's reaction you would have thought that was the worst crime anyone could ever commit. "He then started talking with his mouth full and when I asked him to close it he attacked"
"That's a…" I hear the angry cry from Cato but it's quickly muffled.
"See no self-control and will loss it over the smallest thing" I tell everyone thanking Cato for giving more to use against him. "I don't know how it was my fault the fight broke out. I'm sure each and every one of you would have done the same in my position, right?"
"Yes" Everyone replies in unison.
"Well now then let's move on" Caesar tells me, shame I was having fun at Cato's expense. "So your fathers a Victor that must give you some advantage tells what a help he's been"
"He's been great" I answer without missing a beat. "He's been there for me when I needed him and helped me with whatever I needed help with"
The buzzer sounds and the crowd sighs, perfect I completely won them over. Tough luck Cato they love me and think you are a pig now.
"Well then Everybody Lisa Littleton" Caesar says and a thunderous applause follows me off the stage and straight to a smiling Johanna who looks to be over the moon at my performance.
"Get job Brainless they love you and hate the brute now" Johanna says grinning. "You should have seen the looks he's been getting from the Capital people. He's now hiding in his room after punching a hole through a wall"
Karl comes and goes being his usual self and District Eight, Nine and Ten do as bad as six does making no impact on me and leaving no impression, the only thing I can remember is that the boy from District Ten has a bad leg. But when the little girl from District Eleven walks onto the stage all that changes, everyone goes quiet as she takes her seat and all eyes are on her. She is wearing gossamer gown complete with wings that makes her look even cuter then she normally does, I think her name is Rue. She is quiet which works for her and makes her look better unlike the other quiet ones on stage before her, she looks cute, innocent and her shyness only makes her look even better. The only time she comes out of her shell in the interview is when Caesar ask her about her strategy and she replies "If they can't catch me, they can't kill me. So don't count me out". With that one sentence she made herself more popular but gave away her secret. Not to self-watch, out for Rue's speed. Her District Partner, the giant, soon replaces her on stage and only answers whatever question he is given with a yes or no answer. But as soon as he step off the stage the crowd goes silent, I think they were waiting for this all night long.
"No then our next guess you may know as the Girl on Fire" Caesar says enthusiastically getting a loud cheer from the crowd. "So help me on welcoming to the stage Katniss Everdeen" An even bigger cheer from the crowd shakes the ground as Katniss takes to the stage. She looks stunning. She is wearing a pink dress that goes down to her feet and matching high heel shoes, her hair is in the same style she had it in during the Reaping. She looks perfect like a princess from old bed time stories my Dad told me when mum wasn't looking. "Now then Katniss how are you?"
"Close your mouth you're drooling all over the floor" Johanna tells me in a mocking tone. "You are so obvious so why don't you just admit and do what I said" I turn to Johanna ready to smack her but her next words stop me for some reason. "Tonight's your last chance remember, tomorrow one or both of you might be dead" I don't reply and turn back to the screen. "You so hopeless sometimes"
"So Katniss your sister tells us about her" Caesar says as I turn back to the screen. "We are all dying to know about"
"Well she's my world, all I do is try to keep her happy, feed and able to live a good life" Katniss answers getting the crowd to go silent trying to catch her every word. "Before I left for the Games I promised her I would win and come back to her"
"I bet you will" Caesar tells her. "She sounds like a lovely sister and a great reason for you to win these Games" The crowd cheers in response. "Sorry but we are out of time, Katniss Everdeen the Girl on Fire everyone"
Her District partner Peeta takes the stage now looking handsome in a black suit, he is charming on stage and very funny. I can see why Katniss and he were always laughing. Peeta makes a few light jokes before Caesar and he does a hilarious bit about not being able to use the showers. I hate him being so funny, it reminds me of when he was making Katniss laugh… Not that I care or anything. He is just too funny for his own good and he should watch out, all this joking may put him on top of my hit list in the area. I don't know why but that guy is really starting to rub me the wrong way. He may be charming but it's too much and makes me sick. I really don't know why Katniss found him so funny, I'm a million times funnier than he is.
"So Peeta tell us, do you have a special someone back home?" Caesar asks making the audience go silent once again.
"No I don't" Peeta replies with a smile that makes me want to puck and a shake of his head.
"Come on a handsome chap like you there has to be a special someone you like" Caesar says with a smile of his own.
"Well there is this one girl that I like" Peeta finally admits. "But I don't think she knew I excited until the Reaping"
"Well I tell you what" Caesar says leaning closer to Peeta. "You win these Games and go home to her, she won't be able to resist you then"
"Winning the Games won't work for me Caesar" Peeta tells him sounding sad.
"Oh and why's that?" Caesar asks him.
"Because the girl I like came here with me" Peeta answers and I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart and someone twisted the blade. Why does hearing those words hurt so much?
"Well Brainless you missed your chance" Johanna says patting me on the back but I hardly feel it or hear her. All I can feel it the pain in my heart and all I can hear is my heart shattering. Why do I hurt so much?
