Just Tell Me You Love Me Already

Chapter 10: Useless Pastimes

So this is just sort of a filler chapter, thanks for reading anyway :D

Clove's POV

I sit in the clearing until the sun begins to set, then I force myself up and leave.

I'll be back! I call silently to the clearing.

Great, now I'm talking to land, next thing you know, I'll think Glimmer is my best friend, I shiver at the thought. I now make my way back to the camp, slowly, very slowly. Opening my back pack and I take out a match. Then I take a large thick stick from the ground and wrap some dried grass around it. It's dark by now, and I'm going to need something to see by. I strike the match, lighting my one-use-only torch.

While I am making my way back, I hear a rustle, a loud one this time. I turn around and throw my knife, and then duck under spear. It wizzes over my head, and into the darkness behind me, I pull out another knife. Just then, Marvel, Cato, Glimmer, and Peeta come into my eyesight. I lower the knife, "What the hell?!"

The boys have the sense to look embarrassed; Glimmer just looks the same, snarky, annoying and beautiful.

I hate her so much.

"Sorry," Marvel says. "We saw the light and well..."

"You thought you'd skewer an ally?" I ask.

"No, we thought you were another idiot who decided to light a fire..." Cato trails off.

"Yes, and it's such a good idea to go throwing weapons at people before looking."

"Lay off him," Glimmer says defensively. "It was you who decided to go off into the forest alone, for hours then, idiotically, decided to light a torch in the night."

I roll my eyes; she's such an annoying brainless bitch.

"I'm well trained for an attack," I say. "You on the other hand, can't even shoot your weapon of choice at someone who is standing five feet away from you."

Glimmer pulls out an arrow and notches it in the sliver bow, "Wanna try it again?" she asks me, I think she's trying to sound threatening, but since I've seen an example of her shooting skills, I'm not scared the least bit.

I put my knife into my belt and stand with my arms out and my legs apart, "Go for it." I say.

Glimmer lets loose the arrow; it flies several feet off course to my left.

"Maybe you should try just holding the arrow in your hand." I tell her, "It would probably do you better to hold the arrows like a spear than to shoot them."

Glimmer narrows her eyes at me, but by now she realizes that even if she threatens to shoot me again it won't do any good. I wonder if she realizes that I could have her dead in less than a second if I really wanted to. Well, I really want to, but I'll save her until there's no one left but those in the Alliance. And then I intend to make her death painful.

"Okay," Marvel says, "now that we got that handled with, let's go back to the camp, shall we?"

"Sure," I shrug, "Whatever."

The shifts are set up. Sierra and Peeta first, Marvel and I next, and Cato and Glimmer last. Each shift lasts two hours, giving everyone at least 4 hours to sleep. 3- I mean, Sasha, has tonight off.

As soon as my head hits the sleeping bag, I'm out.

I am in a sunny area where the sun is shining over the lake, causing it to look like a clear blue gem. The grass that surrounds the lake is a light green. Mountains surround this area, and there is only one house there. A great manor house sits near the lake; it is beautiful and magnificent in its solitude. I begin to walk towards the house; woods are around, with the great misty mountains that circle around this area it seems to be a small valley. This place is so beautiful and calm; it's somewhere where I'd like to live someday, if I can ever find it. There is wildlife in the woods, deer sprinting in the tree line, rabbits hopping around, there are even baby foxes playing together in the meadow. I sit down on the grass, it is soft like a cushion, I gaze around me and-
