I stood there and watch as our escort goes up stage. This year, she has a lime green outfit but her skin, is normal. I am so nervous right now but i have to put on a brave face since the cameras are all over the place. I took a glance over at Cato's group and found his face staring at me. Since he is quite tall, i could spot him easily. I kept on staring into his blue eyes, they are so beautiful that i got lost in them until they changed into a sad,miserable pupils. So i get out of my trance and i could only hear one word, but that one word is all i need to know that i am going to be in the Hunger Games.
"...Kentwell!"Where are you?!"Hurry up now, we don't have time!"
I went up the stairs, putting my hands on the cold black rails as i walk towards the stage. Nobody volunteered for me, i guess that they think i could survive, because i'm just a ruthless,bloody killing machine. They think i don't care, i don't feel, i don't love. But how am i goin-
"I volunteer as tribute!!"
No!No! Its him. He is still volunteering! But no matter what, i have to protect him! I have to let him win these games. He deserve something way better than me. He deserves a better life. He deserves to live happily ever after with the girl he truely loves! He deserves a happy home, many children and when he dies, everyone will remember him. That is all i wish for him, but i guess his destiny just leads to the brunette,short freckly girl that has no beauty whatsoever.
"What are you thinking about?" Cato asked.
"Nothing." I said and rushed to my room.
"Clove?" Let me in." Whats wrong?"
"Just.. leave me some time alone." I said that but of course i want him to continue trying until i let him in.
"Clove, i won't leave you alone ok!?"Now open the door!" He said teasingly.
Now thats what i want to hear.So i opened the door slightly and then went back to my bed and he can just open the rest of the door himself. I'm too tired to open the whole door for him.
"Clove?"Whats wrong?"
"I just... I j.. I just think that you deserve way better than this. I just keep imagining you with the perfect life that you have been wanting for, no , that you need desperately! I just imagine you win the games go home, forget about all these memories, find a beautiful girl, fall in love, get children, share a house with her and then when your children grows up they will have the same life as you, a perfect one! And when you di- no go to heaven with her, you'll build another perfect life up there! And.. and maybe we could be friends!"
"Clove!" Dont you say that!All that matters for me is you to have a good life! Dont you ipunderstand that!? I volunteer is to protect you! And when it comes to us, i'll let you live a perfect life, just like what you said! Clove, you have your family! I have noone if i come home! No one needs me."
"I do. I need you."
And when i finish that, i lean in for a kiss. It was a long one, then it became more passionate and i just forget about the world around me. Then, he start to touch my dress, caressing my body and took my dress off. As he does that, i take his shirt off and explore his abs. He must've worked out a lot!
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
".. yeah." I'm ready."
After 2 hours or so we finally took a shower and dressed up. Then we went to the dining table and eat while our escort goes and get our mentors. When they came back i saw a 40-50 years old woman with a same age man i guess. From what i know of, their names are Enobara and Brutus. They look very scary, especially Enobara, she has golden sharp teeth. Brutus looks buff. Like very buff.
"So what are your skills?"
"Knives,fast and i can climb trees." i said not bothering to look up.
"I am very good at swords,strong and i can swim well." Cato said.
"You make a pretty good team."
"Of course!" I said and kiss his cheek.
"Clove!" Cato said, clearly embarrased infront of the mentors.
"Guys, we are sorry but you can't , CAN'T show your love infront of everyone."Make sure they don't see your lovey birdy actions, ok?" Try to be more private."
"Ok.."
This is going to be hard!
