Love Or Death~ A Clato Fanfic

Chapter 1

Cloves POV

"Clove! Clove!" I wake up and run to my door to see it was my little sister Annabeth. "What?" She just sits there and smiles. I shut the door and look at the time 5:45am "I'm going to be late for training!" I rush to my clost and put on my training clothes,put my hair in a messy ponytail and rush downstairs. I notice my father is reading the newspaper like always, I grab a piece of toast and kiss my father on the cheek and run out the door. I start walking down the sandy trail kicking tiny pebbles on the way. A strong wind begins to blow moving my ponytail holder down my hair. "Clove! Clove!" I turn around an see Cato running after me. He finally catches up out of breath. I smile "hey Cato" I've had a crush on Cato since we were 5 but never told him that.

Chapter 2

Cato's POV

I feel someone shaking me and screaming me to wake up. I jump up and see that it's my 2 sisters Jessa and Callie "What do y'all want?" "Get up! It's time for training!" I jump up and check the time 3:45am "Guys! It's 3 hours till training!" They ignore me and walk out of my room. I try to go back to sleep but my eyes won't shut. I decide to get ready, I go to my closet and put on my clothes and spike up the front of my sandy blonde hair. I walk downstairs and see my sisters playing with there Capitol dolls I look at them and walk to the kitchen to make breakfast. It's hard being the oldest and our mom working night and day. So I've been entering my name a few times. Jessa walks over with a chair, she stands on the chair and watches what I do. "Cato? What are the games like?" I look at her she's scared because its her 2nd year and she hasn't been picked. "It's... Umm.. Well I can't really explain its like a big arena. Where you can kill kids." She hugs my arm with tears in her face "I don't want to be in their!!!" I finish cooking and pick her up. "Nobody does Jessa but we have to." She stops crying and calms down. I let go of her and she goes back to playing with Capitol dolls. I look at the time 5:58am "Im gonna be late!" I kiss my sisters on the head and run out the door. I start running down the sandy road, I catch up to Clove. "Hey Clove" Clove been my best friend since we were 5.

Chapter 3

Cloves POV

Me and Cato begin walking to training when Hannah the annoying girl from training. She's a few feet a head of us but she turns around and puts on her evil smile. "Aww it's Cato and Clove! How cute" I clutch my fist Cato keeps walking and Hannah walks beside me. "Clove I know you like him."Hannah says. I look at her how did she know that I liked him?! "No I don't like him." I lied to her. "Your lying Clove I know you do" I ignore her and keep walking. 5 minutes later we arrive at training. I walk over to the 15 year olds and of course Hannah is in my group but not Cato,he's 16. Our coach tells us to pick a partner to fight with, I look around but then Hannah yells "I choose Clove!" I turn around oh no really? Our coach tells us "choose your weapons!" I choose a few knives while Hannah goes over and chooses the machete sword. "Fighters are you ready?" Our coach yells we both nod "Go!" I chuck a knife and it splits Hannah's shirt a little open. She swings her sword right into my elebow I fling back onto the ground and can't move. Blood rushes from my elebow. She smiles, I let out a yelp and been rushed to the hospital for stitches

Chapter 4

Cato's POV

I enter my training room with the other 16 teen year olds. "Ok tributes it's time to practice your skills, so choose your best weapon." My coach says. I go over and grab a machete sword an get in line for the dummies. After a few kids have gone it was my turn, I step up to the line. Right before I swing I here a yelp, a yelp that I've heard before. It's Clove! I drop my sword and run to the 15 year olds. I spot Clove on the ground with Hannah laughing above her. I run to the phone in the back of training and call the hospital, About 5 minutes later an ambulance comes and I pick up Clove and hand her to one of the workers. They take her to the hospital. About 2 hours later I go and vist her in the hospital, I ask the nurse which rooms hes in. "Room 24" she replied. I walk to her room and entered. "Hey Cato" she says half way smiling. I look at her arm it's all bandaged, my smile sinks "Hannah did that to you?" She looks at me and nods.

Chapter 5

Cloves POV

I look at Cato, he keeps looking at my arm. "Are you going to be ready for the reaping tomorrow?" He says. I look at him and think "I don't know but I know I'm going to volenteer" His face changes to paleness. A doctor walks in and tells Cato to leave because of my surgery. He walks out, they doctor sticks a needle into my arm. I begin to fall asleep but barely awake to see what the doctors are doing. 4 hours later Cato comes in with flowers and a small stuff white bear. I smile when I see him "How are you doing Clove?" He asks "Im doing good I'm going home in an hour" He smiles, his face looks normal again. I smile and a doctor comes in and tells me that I can go home. Cato walks out "Ill be waiting outside ok?" He says. "Ok" I get up and get changed into my other clothes.
