Forever Stay With Me- Chapter 5

Cato and Clove

Colors flashed before my eyes. In 2 days we would be in the Capitol. Of what I had hear of the Capitol. They are freaks in a pink color and who knows what else they are wearing. I thought that Claudisa was already a freak.

Under all the make-up she wore. You still could see she’s young. I think she must be 28 or maybe older. The blue wig she wore fitted perfect with her green eyes shadow. When I looked closer I could see she had a blue glitter tattoo in her neck. She noticed that I was watching her. ‘Manners!!!’ she yelled. ‘Ooh, shut up, Claudisa’ Brutus said. ‘Let her stare. She’s just is finding a way how to kill you!’

Claudisa looked shocked. Enobaria started laughing. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders and I could see her golden teeth that blink. Cato laughed too. His boyish smile was there again. I even couldn’t stop the grin on my face. ‘You take the words out my mouth’ I replied to Brutus. He smiled.  The scar on his face that he had got from his games was big but I thought he must be proud of it. The Capitol could easily  take it away. But  he wanted to remember his victory.

 ‘Let’s see the reaping’s of the other districts’ Brutus pressed on a button. A TV appeared out the wall.

‘Cool!!!’ Cato brought out. ‘Welcome in the world of the Capitol’ Enobaria said. I shivered when I thought that she killed someone with that teeth. The blood in her mouth of her kill….

The reaping of District 1 started to play. The escort said the similar things of Claudisa’s speech. ‘Ugh, look at her wig ‘Claudisa said. She was obviously jealous of the escort who had a ‘’Beautiful’’ purple wig with white diamonds. Claudisa started mumble some things about how inappropriate it was.

A blond girl volunteered. When I saw her for the first time I knew that I didn’t like her. The way she moved told me enough. Her blond her blew together with the wind and She obviously knew that she was beautiful .The escort said her name. Glimmer.

I rolled my eyes. Are they serious? Who the hell called their child like that? They are almost that stupid as the Capitol. After she volunteered . A boy with brown her volunteered also. I guessed it’s normal that in the career districts everyone volunteered. The brown boy smiled and tried to look vicious but it didn’t work. He looked like an excited squirrel. He really did. I mean. Just look at him. I almost could see his fluffy tale.

‘They are going to be your allies I guess. I hope they do better than they look like.’ Brutus grinned. ‘The girl is beautiful thought.’ Cato said. Something hit me. Beatiful? That ugly make-up doll. I wanted to yell at Cato. But I didn’t. He would think I’m jealous or something. I’m not.

The crowd clapped and then it was our turn. The justice building of District 2 appeared on the screen. ‘Oh, I looked gorgeous!!’ Claudisa exclaimed. She took her mini mirror to check if everything still looked perfect. Everything went so fast. I volunteered. I looked vicious. Cato smiled at the screen.

 ‘Well done, girl!’ Enobaria said. I nodded.  I didn’t dare to breathe when Claudisa called out Travis’ name. I looked to see if there was any emotion on my face. But thank god. The cameras turned to Travis’ face. They didn’t even film the hug. I thought that the ones who filmed it knew that they better didn’t film those moments. Because they knew that I would work in my disadvantage.

Cato volunteered. I could see his fortitude on his face.  We both stepped to the justice building.

I was glad that our reaping was over. Now I just had to see my other opponents.
