The days suddenly became harder to come by. With the growing tension between the two, and the knowledge that one of them will die in several weeks, had not particularly helped in any sort of way.

Nevertheless, Clove pushed on and stuck out until her private sessions with the Gamemakers. She stays seated in the lunchroom until a pleasant female voice calls her into the room.

Her footsteps echo across the empty gymnasium, which felt unnatural to be in alone.

"Clove Kentwell. District Two." She says in a strong voice. The Gamemakers nod and Seneca Crane gives her his permission to begin.

She picks up three knives and poises herself twenty feet away from the target. She holds the first one with a firm grip and sends it flying. The impact of the knife to the hard rubber sends a oddly louder than usual noise through the empty gym.

Clove takes another one, using the opposite hand this time, and throws it again, only aiming for the second dummies head this time. She gets a perfect bullseye.

She takes her last one, spins around, and sends it across the room before fully regaining balance. It lodges itself exactly where she intended; the dummies stomach. Clove looks back at the Gamemakers, who nod at her approvingly.

"Thank you Miss Kentwell. You are dismissed." Seneca says. Clove nods and heads to the elevator. She presses the 2 button and goes shooting up to the second floor.

To her relief, no one is in sight, so she goes to her room and takes a small nap.

Half an hour later, Hibiscus knocks at her door for her to rise. Clove quickly fixes her hair and then goes into the dining room. She takes a seat at her usual spot and starts eating.

"So how did you two do?" Brutus asks.

Cato answers right away. "I impressed them really well. Sliced up seven dummies in under a minute."

"That's good. You Clove?" Brutus questions her.

She swallows her food. "I just threw my knives. I hit a bullseye everytime. I guess they were satisfied."

"Alright. The scores will be televised live after dinner so finish your food and then head over to the living room." Brutus says.

Everyone else finishes, leaving Clove last. She quickly inhales the rest of her plate and then takes a seat at the couch. Enobaria switches the television on and Caeser Flickerman's face pops up. He introduces himself and cracks a few jokes before getting straight to the point.

"From District One. Glimmer. With a score of nine." He begins. "Marvel, with a score of nine.

From District Two, Clove, with a score of ten."

Everyone congratulates her accomplishment.

"Cato. With a score of ten." Caeser announces. He is given with the same reaction.

The rest of the Tributes score a 3 to 6 range. One that astonishes Clove the most, is the young twelve year old girl from District Eleven, who manages to come up with a seven.
