A very Clovely story

Chapter 6:Training

I open my eyes to find Cato cuddled close to me. He is still sleeping so I get out as quietly as possible to not wake him up. I get out of bed and go straight to the shower. The showers here are weird. They have a lot of buttons for different scents, works and creams. I feel mad. In district 2 we could only ask for clean water and we were happy. I step out of the shower and dry myself with a towel and step onto a platform that untangles my hair and parts it. I go into my room and find that Cato is gone. He sure heard me in the shower and got away for me to feel comfortable. I walk over to the door, with my towel wrapping me and lock it. I see that my stylist left my training clothes. It is a jumpsuit with red highlights and a small 2 on the sleeve. I put it on and move around. It is comfortable. I go out and eat breakfast. Cato comes out of the room with a similar jumpsuit. we eat and then head down to the training center. We will train for 3 days and then the games will begin. We walk into the training center. I see Cato and know he is surprised. All the other careers are there and Cato says, "I am going to get the allies" "I dont want to go yet" I say sadly, "Well thats ok Clovie", he smiles and kisses me in the cheek. I turn around and see Rue looking at me. I smile at her and walk over. I can see she is scared. Of me. What have I done to be so feared? "Hey, I am Clove. What is your name?", I ask even though I know she is Rue "Im Rue" she says smiling "Well Rue, I just want you to know that I wont hurt you. Ever. I will not kill a 12 year old who is innocent. I would never do that. Dont be scared. Cato over there wont hurt you either. He says you remind him of his little sister. So dont be scared", I say with a smile "Thanks for not being a brutal career", she says with tears in her eyes "you are welcome", I say and play with her dark hair and smile. She hugs me. I hug her too. Then Tresh arrives and Rue leaves. I smile. Maybe he will protect her. I go where Cato is standing and meet the tributes. Glimmer, from D1, has blond hair and green eyes. Marvel, from D1 also, is skinny and tall, and has brown hair. We are allies now. "we have decided we dont want to be with D4 this year, they are not very strong", says Glimmer. I smile and look over at D4, a 13 year old boy and a girl who cant pick up a sword. We are better off without them. Me and Cato stay together in some stations like fire, edible plants, camouflage and stuff like that but we separate in the weapons. I go directly to the knives and hit all the dummies in the heart. Never missing. I turn around and see all of the other tributes staring at me scared. I walk over to the bow and arrow. I know how to use it, but not as good as Glimmer. She hits every dummy in the heart. I do too but I still dont feel comfortable. Then I see this Peeta kid. He is very strong. Possible ally. Katniss is very good with a bow and arrow. I walk over to the sword station and see Cato slicing the dummy's head and arms without any effort. Marvel throws spears. Rue is agile. Im happy for her. Maybe I wont have to kill her. I see Marvel and Thresh talking and then Marvel leave mad. "I asked him to be in the Careers, and he said no! Nobody says no to the careers! He said his mom and dad told him to be alone and keep distance! He is such a jerk!", he says "Well if he doesnt want to be with us let it be. He has his choices and we cant change it. so Marvel stop worrying about other people and worry about you!", I say. Cato smiles. I smile. Training has ended. I learned how to throw knives, swords, spears (I suck at it, i dont have that much strength in the arms), bow and arrows, how to make a fire, snare, and much more. I think I am very prepared. I walk to my room and take a shower and then put my nightgown and put my hair in a ponytail. As usual Cato is waiting for me in bed. We cuddle together and talk about our family. Even though I am very close to Cato i do not know anything about his family. "Do you have any siblngs?", I say "Yeah, well, I used to. My little sister was killed in the woods by someone we dont know. She was just 12, just like you. She died some days before I met you in the woods.", he says with tears in his eyes "Lets not talk about it then", I say getting closer to him. I use his arm as a pillow and try to fall asleep. I open my eyes and see his dark blue eyes. "You are the best thing that I ever had" He gives me a kiss in the cheek and hugs me. We fall asleep like this. Oh Cato in 2 days, we will be fighting for our lives.
