Chapter 7
When I get to my house my mum is smiling " so how did It go?" "Really well. Through two knives at the same time and they hit it's head and throat" I say. My mum is smiling and then just walks away. I don't expect a well done from her. She says it makes me stronger and better. She wants me to be better in the games as I'm her only child left. My older went into the games when she was 13 and didn't come back out. She would be 18 now but shes not here anymore. It was the 67th year of the games and it was a biomass. She was killed by her own alley. He killed her by stabbing her repeatably in her sleep. He killed her out of madness he ran into a swamp on toxic fumes then met her then later on killed her there where only 3 left she could have won it was her him and a girl from 11 who was only 12 and had no talent other than hiding she won out of luck. He fell from a tree after killing her and he snapped him neck and the girl was crowned victor. My mother had made me train extra hard and harder than she did ever since she died. I remember the morning after she died, after the games had ended. My mother told me " go and get to training centre and train twice as hard and for double the time" I didn't question her. I just did it.
I woke up and jumped out of bed. Got dressed and left I looked over at catos house because we where ment to be walking together. But his mother told me he had already left. I knew he was just stinging me along but I should be practicing anyway. It felt like the longest walk to training centre I had ever taken but when I got there. It was almost empty only a few people here all the girls where here and all the boys but one. Cato wasn't there. He can't have left already if he wasn't there. Then he walked through the door and the girl that called me a psychopath was following him. I went over to him " hey, I went over to your house to see if you wanted to walk over here and you mother said you had already left." I say. The girl was giving me a dirty look. " oh yeah I'm sorry I did leave early to meet my friend I totally forgot I'm so sorry" he says " you forgot about me?" I say staring into his eyes. He was telling the truth but one part was a lie I just couldn't work out which. " I didn't forget about you I just forgot I was meeting you" he says trying I just turn around and join the Que. I wait in lie and can help my eyes tearing up. " he doesn't care about you that's why he met me and not you" it was the girl the called me a psychopath again. I can feel her cold breath reaching my ears but all she said was lies. I collected my grade and put it in my pocket. Then ran straight into the training centre. It was dark. I went to my board picked up as many knives as I could and through then at the board them I saw a picture of her on the wall. I ripped it off and jabbed a knife into the top to keep it there. I through the knives. And I hit her in the head throat shoulders and chest. I was so angry I didn't realise I was bleeding from where I had griped the knives so hard. I walked out I the training centre wiping the tears from my eyes and running out. Cato saw me and watched me Leave. I ran out into the rain and walked on. No looking back. "Clove. Wait!" It was cato. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. He grabs my shoulder. "clove. What's wrong. Are you upset that I forgot to meet you? Is it?" I looked up at him. " do you like me or not?" " we'll I " he stutters " do you?" I shout "I knew it you where just messing around. Stinging me on!" I walked away and he just shouted my name " clove clove!" He shouts " go away!"I shout stoping off " clove wait! clove! I love you!" I stop and turn around he is staring right at me. " really?" I say " really. I love the way you can throw a knife effortlessly an you are sensitive and sweet. You make me feel intimidated the way you use you knives! And that's why I love you" he walks towards me and opens his arms to me. " I'm sorry I forgot. I'm not going to make an accuse. So stupid. I'm sorry" he says the droplets from the rain his hair look beautiful. I walk into his arms " I love you too" I say. I look to him and he cups my face in his hands and our lips meet. I feel like its forever but forever isn't as long as I want. He smiles at me and takes my hand in his and we walk home I'm the rain. Nothing seems to bother me. I feel like I have wings like I am fly to the highest hight and if I fall he will catch me
