She was always a particularly quick runner, faster than most of the other seventeen year olds.
Her footsteps thump on the ground. Swiftly, she grabs the vest she had been eyeing, and quickly puts it on. She grabs a medium sized knife and holds it tightly.
Clove heads for the large pack. She sees the boy from District Seven going for the same prize. She aims the knife and throws it deep into his chest. She picks up the pack and slings it across her back. She gets the first aid kit and runs out of the Bloodbath. She doesn't stop until she is deep into the woods, where no one would find her.
She collapses to the ground in exhaustion. She begins to unzip her pack and rummage through it. She finds a sleeping bag, two packs of dried beef, three of dried fruit, some crackers, water purification drops and a large water bottle. She decides to test her luck and see if it has any water in it. To her surprise, it was full. She takes a small sip, to quench her thirst.
Dusk starts falling, and Clove takes this as her cue to trudge deeper into the woods. When she is sure she put enough distance between herself and the Careers, she decides to set up camp. Unsure of what might be lurking in the night shadow's, Clove's safest option was in the trees.
She struggles for a little bit, but slowly makes her way up. When she is a safe distance from the ground.
Clove finds a rope hiding at the bottom of her backpack, so she ties herself to the tree. Even at the upright position she was in, she manages to find sleep.
The next day Clove wakes with a start. She unties herself and carefully climbs down the tree. Today she was going to track down the Careers.
After a small breakfast and some water to wash everything down. Then Clove gets to work. She starts walking, knife in hand, always on alert. There was something peaceful about being alone in the arena. People just annoyed Clove in general, so after a week of chaos in the Capitol, this is exactly what she needed.
She makes her way closer to the Cornucopia. After about an hour of mixed running and walking, she reaches the stretch of clear grass. The Cornucopia glistens in the sunlight. As expected, the three Careers sit somewhat close to it, guarding their supplies.
Unsure what to do now, Clove sits and studies them. She maps out in her head how she might be able to eliminate them one at a time, starting with Glimmer. An easy kill. Maybe Clove could corner her in the woods, when she is alone.
Marvel will be a harder one. The 6'3 boy that towers far above her has and excellent talent with spears. Even she admires his skills. The only possible time she could kill him is if she catches him off-guard. Definitely a more difficult task.
Clove couldn't bring herself to plan Cato's death. No matter what he had done to her, their history is too deep. Oh, she will just have to hope someone else can kill him.
The sky slowly starts growing dark. Clove watches as the Careers start to gather their weapons and head for the woods. She stays hidden in her little spot. When the pack is out of sight, she gets up and leaves. Once she has put enough distance between herself and the Cornucopia, she sets up camp in a tree.
It isn't until much later, when she is half asleep, an idea pops up in her head.
Clove knows exactly how to kill Cato.
