The Hunger Games In Peetas Pov Part 5

A few hours later I found myself in the giant stables which held the horses which would lead us around the city, our horses were jet black thoroughbreds ( I KNOW THEY DONT PULL CARTS BUT O WELL) and were by far the most beautiful horses there, we were told to step onto a chariot and we wer pulled by three large men over to our z
horses, the chariot started to move with such a jolt I stumbled and grabbed Katniss's hand hard she looked at me with her sympathetic smile I was starting to think she reserved specially for me. I gave a weak smile back and for the first time i realised how stunning she looked in her amazing outfit she had a black soft leather liotard on with stripps of red, orange, yellow and blue Shifon ( ITS WHAT MY MUM SAID IT WAS CALLED?!)crisscross crossing her body and a sort of cape, but it completly covered her entire body apart from head and hung down and it had arm holes which were basically the material had been sown so she had sleeves which were the same lentg as the rest of the material this was also made out of a sort of see through shifon whith the same colours but they were blended together so it looked like a frlickering flame when she moved alobg her right cheek bone up toward just above her right eye was an intricately drawn flame and all over body was a gold glitter which made her look like she was glowing her shoes were strappy heels and on her nails wer tiny flames but on the ring finger was the mockingjay pin I saw her wering om the train and the circle surrounding the bird was engulfed in flames she literally out shone everyone else in the whole stables I tried telling her this but instead a sort of grating gargle came out "what was that?" she asked politely " you look beautiful" I said. I realised I was still holding her hand and let go hastily "thanks, you look good too" she replied while discreetly massaging life back into her hand. I must admit I didnt look to bad to be honest, I had a Black heavy shirt and pants and black leather belt and big sturdy black leather boots, also I had a leather jacket. Cinna and portia wanted to, for some reason, present us as a pair so they had given us a matching theme, because we're from 12, and it's industry is coal, they said they were going to focus more on the coal rather than the miners, our theme was fire, on katniss the strips of shifon material will be set alight aswill the flame on her face and her cape/ vail thing around her body, the flame will be the same colours as on the materials so the flicker effect shall not be lost, rather, it will enhance it because when she moves she' ll look like she is being engulfed in flames. Me on the other hand portia had trouble trying to figure out where I should have flames but in the end she sorted it out and the effect is amazing. I have flames on the soles of my boots so every step I take I leave a footprints out of flames in my wake also I have flames going up the legs of my trousers and on the back of my jacket i have flames when move it flares behind me so when im on the chariot it shall look like im being propelled forward by my flames. Together, katniss and me look amazing together. Then cinna comes to set us on fire I'm slightly confused because he said he's going to do this at the last minute then I realised that apart from the chariot from 11 who are just leaving the stables we are the last tributes to go cinna had just lit our flames when the chariot started to roll forward and cinna had to jump off quickly we wer just going through the doors when cinna called to us " what did he say?" katniss asked "I think he wants us to hold hands" "oh ok" she replied and shyly took my hand. Her skin was soft and smooth I gave her hand an slight squeeze she looked up slightly surprised then her face sofened and she squeezed my hand back tightly when we had exited the stables I was blown away by the sheer mass of the crowd and the colours of their clothes, hair and skin I was so dumbstruck by all of this that I was just staring around until I felt katnisses firm smooth hand grasping my own I looked over to her and saw Her waving and blowing kisses to the crowd who were desperately trying catch them. They look ridiculous I thought but then if I thought she was blowing a kiss to me i would probably do something as ridiculous ,like faint or possibly die of extitement, or at least something along those lines I decided to follow her lead and smile and wave enthusiastically every so often I caught a glance of her and was again taken aback by her beauty. Remade it to the presidents mansion and listened to his speech then we were walked around again before re entering the hustle and bustle of the training centre stables and were again caught up in the chaos of photographers, jealous fellow tributes, flustered escorts who kept bangin on about mahogany( no one cares effie), drunk mentors and our amazing stylists. Before we wer shown to our rooms to freshen up a little before dinner
