Clove's POV
"Wake up! Wake up!", I hear two little voices scream as they jump on my bed.
"Good morning Evie, Good morning Gwen!", I say still groggy from waking up early.
"Good morning, Clo!", they say simultaneously.
"What time is it?", I groan, I don't like waking up early.
"It's 8:30, Mommy and Daddy had to go somewhere so Ava's in charge and she told us to wake you up for breakfast!", Gwen says in a sweet calm voice. I stare in awe at her, I mean she's only 6 but she is probably more mature than me. My thoughts are interrupted by a screech, I look and see Gwen clutching her shoulder.
"What happened?", I say frantically.
"Evie hit me!", Gwen said in a whiny voice.
"Why did you hit your sister Evie?", I say in by best serious voice.
"Because I wanted to tell you!", Evie says in an annoyed voice.
"Its didn't mean you can hit", I said sternly. She just looked at me defeated, I then shooed them out of the room so I could get dressed. I put on a dark purple sweatshirt and some black leggings. I contemplated on whether or not I should tie my hair, but in the ends decided to leave it down in its natural waves. I walked downstairs and saw Ava making pancakes for everyone, Alex watching TV with Ash, Teddy, and Jay, Cece and Izzy talking about fashion or something, Luke and Leia arm wrestling on the table, and Vivi and the twins playing with some dolls.
"Good morning, Clo!", Ava says while looking at her pancakes in the stove.
"Morning, Ava!", I reply.
"How you feeling?", she asks concerned.
"I've been better", I reply honestly. She just nods her head and resumes her focus on breakfast.
"Morning Clo!", I hear all my brothers say in monotone voice, obviously too distracted by what's on the TV.
"Morning, boys", I reply while rolling my eyes.
I walk into the dining room and sit next too Izzy.
"Morning Clo!", she says while hugging me.
"Morning,Izzy!", I reply while I hug her back.
Cece then comes and hugs me tightly.
"Morning, Sis! How are you feeling?", Cece says very cheerily.
"Morning Cece, I'm good!", I lie to her because I know she will make a big deal. The two then resume to whatever they were talking about and I walk out of the room. I then head over to Luke and Leia are still arm wrestling when I walk over.
"Morning, Clo.", they say while not taking their eyes from each other.
"Morning", I say while walking towards Vivi, Evie, and Gwen. Vivi attacks me with a hug, and starts talking.
"Morning, Clo!", she says.
"Morning, Vivi!", I reply.  We just talk while the twins play with their dolls, then Ava calls us for breakfast.
"Alex, Clo, Cece, Ash, Vivi, Izzy, Teddy, Jay, Luke, Leia,Gwen, and Evie, breakfast is ready!", Ava shouts.
"Coming!", we all reply.
She serves us all pancakes, we all eat quickly, and clean up after our selves. After, I decide that I wanna spend the day with my siblings, Ava told me last night that the capitol said we have permission to use the training room if we like and I know all my siblings will be up for it.
"Hey, y'all wanna go to the training center!?", I ask eagerly before everyone walks away.
"Sure!", they all say.
"Then go get ready", I reply with a smirk.
We all rush upstairs to get training clothes on and our special weapons, our parents gifted us each a weapon and we all love them. Ava's is an axe with her name in pale pink letters, Alex's is a broadsword with his name in dark blue letters, mine is a set of throwing knives with my name in deep purple letters, Cece' is a mace with her name is hot pink letters, Ash's is a scalpel chain with his name in forest green letters, Teddy and Jay have matching spears with their names in light blue, Vivi's is a set of throwing knives similar to mine with her name in lavender letters, Izzy's is a mace similar to Cece's in maroon letters, Luke and Leia have matching bows with their names engraved in teal, and Evie and Gwen have matching twin daggers with their names in blood red. I put on some spandex shorts and a muscle t-shirt, tie my hair in a high ponytail, and grab my knives. I walk down and see everyone waiting, we all pile into Ava's car and drive down to the training center, I made sure to leave a note for Mom and Dad so they weren't worries or anything. I'm interrupted by Ava shouting that we're here, we all pile out of the car and walk into the training center, there's no one there so we have it all to our selves. We all go our separate ways and begin training, I decide that I was gonna try all of my siblings specialty weapons for fun today. First is Ava and her axes. I walk over to the simulator and see her swinging the axe around hitting all the dummies perfectly, for the last one she threw her axe and it landed right the middle of what would be the face of it had one. I applauded and walked over.
"Hey, so I decided that I am gonna try all of your weapons and your first! So how do you use an axe?", I ask excitedly.
"Well, it's kinda like a big knife. You just hold the handle and swing it around, and you throw it like a knife but with more power.", she replies.
"Ok, that doesn't sound too hard.", I say while grabbing an axe from the rack. I walk back to Ava and start swinging it around, but it's much heavier than my knives, I do this for 15 minutes with Ava giving me pointers, I then try to throw it for about another 15 minutes, and I realize that I'm not too bad. I put the axe back and go to say bye to Ava.
"Bye Ava, I'm gonna go to Alex now!"
"Bye Clo, you did a pretty good job!", she replies. I slowly begin walking over to Alex when I pass Izzy and Vivi screaming at each other rather loudly. I walk up to them seeing if I can resolve the issue, as I near them I hear them arguing.
"Hey, hey stop shouting you two, what happened?", I ask calmly. Both girls start talking at once, so I can't understand either of them.
"Stop, one at a time!, Izzy you go first.", I shout.
"Well, I was just minding my business humming to myself and practicing with my mace, until one of Vivi's throwing knives came hurtling towards me and chopped off a piece of my hair!", she said angrily while holding up a piece of her hair.
"Okay, now Vivi you tell me what happened.", I say.
"Well, I was just trying to focus and throw my knives but all I heard was Izzy's ridiculous humming so I got annoyed and chucked the knife at her, I don't get why it's such a big deal I mean I missed on purpose and only cut off a piece of hair, it'll grow back!", Vivi says defensively. I chuckle lightly at the story, it reminds me of something that happened when me and Cece were little.
