I hear the rails rocket beneath the train wheels. I shoot up and stumble out of bed Oh my god I'm home!. I push my palms against my window and stare at the scenery. I spot my home and I cover my mouth I'm finally home. Tears begin to blur my vision and stream down my cheeks. I quickly wipe my cheeks dry and run towards the dining car knowing there is a massive window there. I then bump into Cato.

"Woah slow down" Cato says holding my shoulders

"Yeah, yeah later" I say while trying to look past his shoulder. He then let's go of me and I stumble forward again running towards the door.  I swing the door open and run to the window pressing my nose against the window.

"Clove!!" Valentina shouts but I pay no attention to her. I rest my forehead on the glass and sigh. Home I'm home. I turn around and find Valentina with an eyebrow raised staring at me. A rather unplesant look, I give her a lope-sided grin and run back to my room before I receive a scolding. I bump into Cato again on my way, he offers me his hand to help me up and I take it

"Can't avoid me can you trouble maker" Cato chuckles, I roll my eyes and pull myself up

"since when am I the trouble maker?" I ask brushing my clothes off

"you're always a trouble maker Clove" he replies crossing his arms across his chest

"in what way?" I ask crossing my arms across my chest. But he just chuckles and walks off I just shake my head and walk back to my room to change out of my pjs. I change into a pair of emerald green jeans and I slip on a white t-shirt. I then brush my teeth and brush my hair into a braid and run to the dining cart. I find it empty I just shrug my shoulders and seat myself by the window and begin to eat a muffin.

I stare out the window and memories flash into my mind. I close my eyes and sigh

(flash back)

"Nat!!Nat!!" a girl shouts throwing her hands in the air

"I'm going to get you!!" an angelic voice fills the field. A girl with long flowing dark hair appears chasing a younger girl with dark flowing hair as well.

The landscape was a green grassy field. The younger girl hugs the older one and says 'never leave me'

(end of flash back)

I sigh again that little girl is me and that older girl is my cousin Natalie. She entered the games when I was 6 years old and she was 15, I can't remeber which games it was but I remeber her talent was spear and knife throwing. I rember how she died the girl from distrcit 12 was fighting with her and when the district 12 girl threw her on the ground then stabbed her with a knife. I still remeber how I cried for weeks and refuse to believe she died.

"Hey" I hear, I almost fall out of my chair from the suprise but I grab onto the edge of the table to stop my fall. I turn and find Cato looking at me like I'm some alien

"Oh, hi" I reply

"what are you thinking about?" he asks while seating himself next to me

"just my cousin" I simply reply

"oh, what was his or her name?" he asks intrested

"her name was Natalie Jacobson" I reply

"what happen to her?" he asks

"I don't really want to talk about it" I sigh out

"I'm sorry" he says while awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck

"It's ok Cato" I reply giving him a reassuring smile.

Valentina suddenly bursts into the carriage and smiles a us

"Clove Cato hurry up we're almost at the staion" she said quickly. My heart pounded harder nearly home. I turn to Cato who seem to be sad looking.

"Cato are you ok?" I ask

"Yeah" he replies quietly
