A storm brewing

Chapter 2 the train

As everyone looks back at me I walk as they make a hole for me in the crowd and I proudly walk up to the stage .

"How wonderful a volunteer!" She squeaks

She leads me to the microphone

"Now what's your name dear?"

"Clove bent!" I say proudly

"And what age ?"

"16"

"Wonderfull, now give a round of applause to districts 2 female tribute Clove bent!!!"

The crowd starts to cheer as I stand proudly on stage as Lillian (our district announcer) struts over to the male bowl and digs her hand into the bowl

I hope the boy isn't to intimating I might have some competition I smirk as she picks one piece out and yells a boys name

"Sam carter!!!!!" she yells

A 15 year old boy starts to walk towards the stage he doesn't look that strong he looks shy he won't be a part of the careers I know it

"I VOLUNTEER !!!" a male voice screams

I see the one person I dread to see is Cato pine

"Crap"

I say silently to my self

"Oh how great another volunteer! come on up sweetie " she says

Cato slowly walks up looking husky as ever and climbs the stone stairs and stands next to me and stares into the crowd as they start to cheer and scream for us

"Here are our tributes Clove bent and Cato Pine! for the 74th annual hunger games!!!!!!!!!" She yells as she leads us into the building doors behind us

Peace keepers guid us into a room for saying good bye from our family's

The first person to come is my mom

"Clove sweetie you need to get your hands on some knives and make good alliances you want to be allies with the careers but when the time comes steal what you need and slit there throats and run !"

I stare at here weirdly I never heard her talk so violent before

"Okay mom I can do this!"

"I know you can I send you sponsors if you get In any trouble okay? I love you sweetie" she hugs me tightly as a peace keeper escorts her out of the room

The next person to come is Annabel my best friend

"Clove what were you thinking!" She yells

"You could get your self killed! I couldn't live with out my best friend!"

"Annabel don't worry I'm going to be fine I have this in the bag I've been training since I was 10 I got this it's my turn now!"

"Okay but please come home to me!"

"Okay I will"

"Promise?"

"Promise "

I hug her before she has to leave

Those were the only visitors I had I'm not really good at making friends and my dad died a long time ago from a peace keeper accident

"Time to go" a peace keeper says plainly

I walk silently out of the room where Lillian was waiting with Cato

"Okay let's get a move on with it were on a tight scedual!" she says brightly I follow her and Cato while there chatting away on how strong he is while I just lag behind I don't want to act weak so I catch up
