Maybe in another universe.

Today is the day.

* Cloves POV *  4 day skip 

-----------------------------------

I wake up, It hits me immediately, today is the day I go into the hunger games. I volunteered to the Capitol yesterday. My face along with Cato's is all over District 2's screens. I do not feel as scared, all i know out there is kill or be killed, I will not be killed. I am gonna kill them all. I am ready.  I am aware that my whole friend group has volunteered themselves as well. True friends right there if you ask me. My parents don't say a good luck, all i hear is an "Do well, make us proud." . I will win, my whole life depends on it. I don't feel like myself anymore, I'm just like the rest of those animals they send in that arena. I do not care, I need to focus and win.

I finish my good byes to my parents, and board the train with Cato. Our mentor is sitting down at the table, He is middle aged, somewhat kind and gets straight to the point. "Hello, I am your guys mentor. I will give you tips and strategies, realistically i cannot help you out there, you only have yourself. Advice is all i can give." He says as soon as we sit down, i roll my eyes. "seriously? I thought you train us and stuff." I complain to him. "I cannot do that. One thing I will say is, do not give it your all when you are training. Let your opponent's wonder about you, and be surprised in the arena." He tells us as he sips from his glass. I nod as that makes sense. Cato sits up to say something, "ah okay, well all that matters is we kill them. Correct?" Cato says, The mentor nods and points his finger at Cato. "Yes, you got it" Our mentor says.  Cato sits back and smirks to himself, he has always been this cocky. I chuckle to myself and roll my eyes as i look out the train window. "You both have your own rooms in this train, enjoy this luxury while it lasts. you both get a day in this train, then 2 days for training at the capitol, then you go in the arena. Good luck!" A waitress like lady tells us as she cleans a table and leaves for the night. 

"jeez. Guess we barely get time for preparation." I say shaking my head. "It's fine, I say we stick together along with Marvel and Glimmer and just kill everyone." Cato says grabbing a glass of water. I nod, The idea is not bad. "yeah alright." I say, "I'm gonna go to bed, goodnight." I say to Cato, He says goodnight and i Lay in my bed. I take a deep breath, we arrive at the Capitol sometime in the morning. A part of me does not wanna go, but another part of me is curious. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep. 

Morning comes round and a ray of light beams on my face, causing me to squint and put my hand up to cover the light. I get up, Cato is already awake. "Goodmorning sleepy head" He says and laughs a little, he is so immature. "Goodmorning" I say and smile at him. "We are almost there, look, you can see the Capitol!" Cato says signaling me to come to the window he is at. I go over and look, there it is. It looks beautiful and so modern. About 15 minutes pass and we arrive. There is a crowd waving and cheering at us, wow. I didn't expect this. I wave back at all them, I need to look confident. Cato proudly waves at them. The peacekeepers and other authority escort us into a big building. Pretty fancy building I can't lie. This place is huge, everything is being cleaned 24/7, everything is treated like it is made out of gold. They escort us to a room that is mine and Cato's room. They show us around before telling us we are going to show off our district infront of the whole crowd. We get introduced to our costume designer. I spot Marvel and Glimmer from a distance. I wave and they smile and wave back to me. 

A bit a time passes and everyone is nearly done getting into their costumes. Me and Cato have this golden like roman Costume armor. Glimmer and Marvel have this pink feather costume. We get onto this black thing and there are two horses carrying us out into the crowd. We go out after district 1. they told us to make sure to wave and smile in each direction but I refuse , as i am looking around, I lock eyes with Glimmer as she in smiling and waving as i am just blank staring. She smiles at me and then looks to the other direction. I smile to myself but make it look like i am smiling at the people cheering. The attention gets pulled to the last district, district 12 as they ride out on fire? I cannot lie that is impressive. But now they are catching everyone's eye, gaining more sponsors. I feel irritated at the sight. I notice the same expression on Cato's face, pure disgust.
