Chapter One

I walked into the room where Katniss Everdeen the female tribute for District Twelve was waiting. She was completely naked standing in the middle of the room. T was easily found that she was beautiful not though was needed. Her straight brown hair was done up in a braiding style that was perfect for her. I could tell she was nervous but how could you blame her? She was getting ready to be put in an arena to fight for her life. I would be scared to.
"Hello Katniss. I am Cinna, your stylist." I say in a quiet voice, her eyes search my body for any Capital alterations. She showed that she was surprised on her face, but she didn't say anything. I held back a smile.

"Hello," she said cautiously

"Just give me a moment, all right?" I asked.

I walked around her body not touching her but just taking in every inch of it with my eyes. She was desperately skinny, but I knew that's how everyone was in district twelve especially if you're from the seam like Katniss was.

I noticed the hairstyle again and I just had to ask, "Who did your hair?"

"My mother," She says.

"It's beautiful. Classic really. And in almost perfect balance with your profile. She has very clever fingers," I say.

Katniss thinks for a bit before she asks, "Your new, aren't you? I don't think I have ever seen you around here"

So she pays attention to the games, that's interesting.

"Yes, this is my first year in the Games," I say without further explanation.

"Why don't you put on your robe and we'll have a chat."

Katniss pulled on her robe without hesitation. I lead her through the room that held the sitting room and I invite her to sit on the red couch across from mine. I pushed the button that brings our lunch up. I catch Katniss eyeing the food, and I realize she must be comparing it to the food she has at home. Anyone can tell that the capitol food is different than the food in the districts where they had to hunt ad fight for the food and lives. Katniss looks up and finds my eyes trained on her.

"How despicable we must seem to you, no matter. "I say.

"So, Katniss, about your costume for the opening ceremonies. My partner, Portia, is the stylist for your fellow tribute Peeta. And our current thought is to dress you in complementary costumes," I explain, "As you know, it's customary to reflect the flavor of the District.

"So I'll be In a coal miner outfit?" Katniss asks expectantly.

"Not exactly. You'll see. Portia and I think the coal miner thing's very over done. No one will remember you in that. An we both see it is out ob to make the District Twelve tributes unforgettable" I say, "So rather than focus on the coal mining itself, we're going to focus more on the coal. And what do we do with coal? We burn it."

"You're not afraid of fire are you Katniss?" I ask. Then I see her expression grin.

A few hours later I have Katniss dressed in hat will be the best costume the Capital has ever seen in the Hunger games. She is dressed in a simple black unitard that covers ankle to neck. Black leather boots laced up to her knees. The cape she wore was the eye catcher; it was made of streams of orange, yellow, and red. The matching headdress was simply amazing also. The headdress and cape would soon be lit on fire when the chariot was about to leave. I could tell Katniss wasn't sure about this so I said,

"It's not real flame, of course, just a little synthetic fire Portia and I came up with. You'll be perfectly safe"

But I can tell she is not convinced. I put little make-up on Katniss because I want the people of Panem to recognize Katniss without all of the make-up added to her face. I braid her hair down her back.

"I want the audience to recognize you when you're in the arena," I say dreamily, "Katniss the girl who was on fire." I took one more look at her and realized that Katniss Everdeen from District twelve as going to make history. We rushed down to the bottom of the Remake Center. Katniss and Peeta quickly got in their chariot.

We all watch as the chariots pull out district by district. When District Eleven pulls out I climb up with the torch.

"Here we go than." Then I light their capes on fire and ignite their headdresses. I hear Katniss gasp, waiting for the burn, but it doesn't happen. I let out a sigh of relief as the flame goes up.

"It works!" I think to myself as I gently tuck a hand under Katniss's chin.

"Remember, heads high. Smiles. They're going to love you!"

I jump off the chariot when I get one more idea. "Hold hands!" yell, they can't here me so I make a gesture with my hands. They look for me confirmation. I give them thumbs up as they are just rolling out. I watch and the crowd goes wild, and I knew this was just the start of my Girl on Fire.
