A very Clovely story

Chapter 9: The Games

We survived the bloodbath, one of the hardest parts of the games. As the number of tributes decrease and the tension increases, betrayal comes in. Cato is the leader of the alliance. He pulls close to his side, as if protecting me from Marvel and Glimmer. "We are hunting for tributes tonight guys. I want this to be clear. We kill them quick. If you kill them viciously you will get thrown out of the alliance." he says with a serious voice as he hugs me "That is not what this game is about! They want a good show!", says Glimmer "yeah! we will kill brutally like the careers we are!", says Marvel "Oh they will have a good show....a touch of rebellion is what they need", Cato says. We both laugh knowing it is true. Marvel and Glimmer get mad at the fact that we are rebels. D1 is the Capitol's favorite. They are rich so that's why they dont want a rebellion. It is starting to get dark, and we go hunting. We see smoke. "Smoke!", I yell as I run through the woods. Smoke? Who is stupid enough to make a fire in the middle of the night. Stupidity is dangerous. We are on our way when we find Peeta. "Please dont kill me!" he says "Why shoudnt we?", says Marvel "Because I can lead you to Katniss", he says. I thought he loved her. "Sounds good to me", I say looking at Cato "OK", Cato says, "help us find where the fire is coming from". I know perfectly well where the fire is. I guide my allies through the vast woods. It feels like the woods in D2. Stupidity. That is all I think about. How can someone be stupid enough to make a fire in the middle of the night? Stupidity is dangerous. We find her. She starts crying and says, "Make it quick please" "Oh we will dont worry", Cato says. He get out his sword and cuts her in the stomach. We walk away. I feel a tear coming out of my eye and I quickly wipe it away. Careers arent supposed to show emotions. We will loose sponsors if I cry. "Shouldnt have a cannon sounded by now?", says Marvel, "Maybe she isnt dead" "You saw where I cut her, it is impossible she is still alive!", Cato says "GUYS STOP FIGHTING OVER THAT! WE ARE WASTING TIME! I WILL GO FINISH HER OFF" peeta says and then walks away. "We should kill him now", says Glimmer "No, he will lead us to Katniss, when we find her and kill her, then we will kill him", I say. I sound nothing like myself right now. It is getting dark. "Lets make a fire and sleep.", says Cato "cato is we make a fire other tributes will come to our camp", I say "Thats what we want Clover", he says smiling "if they come they will realize it is the careers and walk away. Easy as that", he says. I know that is true. They are scared of us. "Glimmer and Marvel go back to the cornucopia and bring some backpacks, food, and water. Me and Clover will get the wood for the fire" They nod and walk away. "Lets go get the wood", he says. We walk and get the wood. He leans in and kisses me gently and holds me. Even though I am in the games, I feel safe. Just as safe as I felt when Joan held me, just as safe as when Cato first kissed me. Just as safe as the nights on the train and the Capitol rooms. "I feel so safe when i am with you Cato", I say smiling "well i feel happy when I am with you", he smiles and again he makes me fall in love a little bit more "We should get going, Glimmer and Marvel will be back soon", I say "you are right". we walk until we reach our new camp in the woods. There is a stream near so it is a good base. glimmer and Marvel arent back yet. We make the fire and cuddle next to it. "I love you so much Clove" says Cato with a smile "I love you too Cato", I say with a stupid smile. I kiss him gently and he holds me. "hey there lovers!", says Glimmer laughing. Cato smiles "Well you and Marvel seem to be lovers too", he laughs. That is true. Glimmer and Marvel are lovers. "Ok who is going to guard first?", says Marvel "I will do it, Im not tired" we all nod. Glimmer cuddles next to Marvel using his arm like a pillow. They look so happy together. Cato holds me and I cuddle next to him, using his chest as a pillow. "You feel my heartbeat, right'", he says in a hushed voice so he doesnt wake Glimmer and Marvel up "yes", I say in  a hushed voice "It beats only for you. When I first met you my heart pounded so fast I almost fainted. You were so beautiful for a 12 year old. Your hair was tied up in a ponytail and you were wearing that blue jacket with the blue gloves and grey pants. You had rabbits and your knives. You looked gorgeous and fragile but so powerful. I love you clove. And nothing will change that. Ever" he says kissing me in the head "Well every time you smile you make me fall in love" I say smiling. He smiles. "Go to sleep, tomorrow will be very active" i go to sleep in Cato's arm. He makes me feel so safe, and he will keep me safe. I know it. But i dont want to let him go.
