Clove pov:

"Oh you look absolutely stunning darling!" Jules squeals at me. "Now when you get out there, you will hold hands, Cato you will kiss the back of her hand and just take the spotlight from everyone!" she claps her hands and fixes a stray hair "All tributes, mount your chariots. 1-12 in order." that means me and cato's will be going in only seconds after the duo from 1. I think their names were Glimmer and Marvel

Glimmer was pretty, like extremely pretty. I guess i've been pretty most my life but Glimmer is just wow. And i can tell Cato thinks so too, only because of the way he smiled when her face appeared on the ginormous screen. "she's pretty" i sigh out to him "yeah.." dammit i knew he would say it back. I don't know why i'm hurt its just.. never mind it's not gonna matter in 6 days.

Our chariot starts moving unexpectedly and i stumble back a bit but his hand fishes around my waist. "careful there clovey wouldn't wanna damage your precious face~" i roll my eyes at him as i steady myself. When we finally come into view of all the Capitol men and woman. I smile and wave, occasionally blowing kisses at some of the Capitols men. Cato unites our hands and kisses my palm before shooting them into the air, receiving screams and cheers from the crowd.

Silence runs through the crowd when district 12 rolls out on their chariot. They're just wearing black. Black jumpsuits. Then in an instant they're on fire. "what the.." Cato whispers under his breath, the crowd is on their feet and their releasing unearthy cheers. "she's gonna be a problem." i tell him, i stare deep into her grey eyes. There's something about her that i hate.
I hate it so much.

She's gotta be the first to go.
Her and that 11 guy.
they're both gonna be big threats.

Although the 11 boy is big, tall and buff but Cato is like 3 times his size, and Katniss and I are around maybe the size and height but i know i'm stronger than her. She's malnourished and boney. She'll be easy to get.
Her district is the most poor so they dont have the resources and training us richer districts do.

President Snow goes on and on about his annual speech before we are released from our chariots. "You guys did amazing! Gorgeous! You've already got plenty of sponsors already!" Jules claps her hands together and escorts us out of the auditorium. I lock eyes with Katniss for a second and i swear her eyes were nothing but black pits of darkness. "Cat you saw that right?" i tap his shoulder lightly and look back to Katniss.

"see what?" he pauses in his steps "Katniss her eyes-" i look back to her and she's gone "Come on Clove we need to get ready for training" he walks away and i look back to the now empty arena 'i just need sleep' but there's no time for sleep. i need to train so i can kill her. Killing Katniss will lead me to my victory.

Day 2

I chuck my knives at the targets. Hitting each and every one perfectly each time. Cato is fooling around with Glimmer when he should be training. Heavy pants leave my lips, i've been training since early this morning, i've worked on edible plants and berries, climbing, and a bunch of survival skills. I wanted to try archery but stupid Katniss was already there.

So i just chill out for a little "Clovey! C'mere!" i hear Cato call from a distance, i turn and see him holding hands with Glimmer. I completely ignore his calls and move back to knife throwing. "Cloveeee!!" i hear his calls again. I thought he liked me. He kissed me. He slept with me. He's just met her today! I can hear his heavy steps approaching me so i swing around and jump onto him. "You think you can mess with my feelings?!" i press my knife to his throat before i pull myself off of him and speed walk out of the training center earning stares from all around.

"Young lady!" I hear Jules calling from behind, i look to her and she's wearing some blue get-up "You must return to training! This is essential!" i shake my head, tears start pushing at my eyes. "I've had enough today." i rush off leaving her dumbfounded in the corridor. My room embraces me with the warmth of it. There are no cameras in my room, for privacy reasons of course so i'm free to let my tears fall into my white silk pillow case.

Why am i even crying over him? We aren't dating. I should've known he was just trying to get in my pants. That's what he does, it's who he is. "Clove!" i hear my name being called again. What now? It's not a recognizable voice though. It's a feminine voice, that isn't Jules. It's deeper and darker. "what?" i yell back "come out and eat!" the voice says, i don't want to see anyone. I just want to be alone.

"Clove let's go!" it yells again, "i'm coming oh my god!" i swing my door open and instantly jump back. A lady with her hair slicked into a ponytail. "took you long enough" when she opens her mouth to speak i can see her sharpened teeth. "that's awesome.. how'd you do that?" i feel my lips curl at the corners as i step closer to her. I've soon come to realize that this lady is Enobaria, the girl who ripped her opponent's throat out with only her teeth.

"Surgically sharpened~" she coos to me, Enobaria is just amazing, she's pretty, strong and best of all brutal. "Now come eat, we have a few things to discuss" i follow her to the dining table where i see an avox man and woman setting down steaming food. I also see Cato, his hand is handcuffed to the table. "Please sit, Clove" i usually sit next to him but i'm still mad so i sit on the opposite side of him, to the far right.

"Clove, after you left training there was a little incident between Cato and a district 3 female" Jules explains, i avert my eyes to his and he looks down at the table "What did he do?" i scrunch my eyebrows together and prepare for whatever she's gonna say. "He snapped her neck, she was playing a little 'joke' and took his knife, he got angry which he already was pretty upset for reasons he won't say-" he was upset about me.

"So in replacement of her, we have taken another tribute. She's a lot like you Clove, she's good with knives and she's very charming" a picture pops onto the screen behind Jules. "Oh perfect! That is her! She's 18 like you both!" She has the skin color of Enobaria, a light crispy caramel color, blue eyes, freckles, and very curly hair . She's gorgeous and she looks nice but looks can kill.

"You'll hear a bit about her tomorrow at the interviews! Oh speaking of interviews at the crack of dawn, you will meet your stylists! They will glam you up and tell you all the expectations! You'll do great, now eat up!" Cato's handcuffs rattle while he tries undoing them "Let me go!" he screams, i jump a little. Not cuz i'm scared because it's so sudden "Not until you calm down young man!" she says while crossing her arms.

"Clove please.." he whimpers out at me
