Seventy-four years has been long enough. The way of the infamous Hunger Games has been altered. No longer is every Gamemaker out to devise the worst means of torture and death for every tribute. No longer are the people of Panem outwardly tolerant of President Snow's murderous actions. Under the facade of a normal group of Gamemakers, several rebellious citizens have begun an experiment which, if it succeeds, will make use of technology both to rescue the tributes before they are dead and then deposit the brainwashed children back in time. They have to try it. No one knows what horrors future Hunger Games may bring, and the desperate rebels are willing to try anything. Meanwhile, in the mountainous regions of District 2, Cato Hadley and Clove Kentwell have trained their whole lives for the Games. Nevertheless, their ambitions change when they, without meaning to, find themselves in the Games together. They are both determined to win. But if they don't, what will happen to them? The brainwashed tributes who land in New York City know nothing of who they are or where they are from. They do not remember Panem, or the Games, or even their own names. This is a science fiction story based off the Hunger Games and its characters. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Hunger Games! This story is based around a plot twist I created, but all rights go to Suzanne Collins, the author of the original series. Disclaimer no. 2: this was a first draft written by a very awkward fifteen-year-old me; please treat it as such.

Clove trained her entire life for the Games. She left District 2 to escape her father and tormentor, Favian, and bring honor to her District. Against all odds she and Cato both managed to survive. But one of them was meant to die in the arena. And President Snow is furious. Unless Clove can convince everyone she is the heartless, brutal, killer she was born to be, everyone she loves will die. This includes letting go of whatever she and Cato had--even their friendship. In the aftermath of the Games, District 2 becomes a minefield of secrets and lies. Ghosts from Clove's past appear in the day as ghosts from the arena haunt her nights. In this sequel to "Clato: Cuts Beneath the surface" Clove struggles with hiding her breaking heart and surviving the Victory tour. She begins to wonder if it would have been better to have died in the arena.

Poverty, her mothers hate and being friendless doesn't stop her. He is to arrogant and rich for his own good. Love saves them. "One can come out not two Cato!!!" Clove yelled. ''I promise, Clove, I won't let anything happen to you!" Cato told her. Suprisingly, they both win the games. Everything is perfect, until her 17th birthday. No one knows. But can the keep up that spark when they have to rebuild what they had; ''Veronica, RONNIE! I VOLUNTEER!!! RONNIE" Clove yelled. ''You volunteered, and your pregnant?!?!" Enobaria scolded. ''She's my sister'' Clove argued. ''Its your baby, Clove! Does Cato know?" Enobaria asked. ''No'' Clove muttered. ''You could die, and he wouldn't have meet his child!" ''Why, why won't you believe me, Cato? Do you actually think i'd do that?" Clove cried, falling to the floor. ''Doctors don't lie!" Cato spat. ''I didn't cheat on you, I swear!" Clove begged. ''I don't believe you!" Cato roared.. ''Cato, I had a misscarrige'' Clove rushed out. ''What? You lying! Your lying!" Cato shoke. ''Leukaemia, what's that?" Cato asked. ''What do you mean he's dead?" Clove hollered. ''I have MND" Astrel told Clove. She dropped her glass. ''Cato Rhiyadh's gone!!!!!" She screamed. 'TWINS?" Clove whispered. ''Thats six" ''If we keep going the way we're going, we'll be living on the side of the street'' ''I just want a normal life, I didn't sign up for this!" Clove told Clarice. ''I haven't slept in a month, I don't need to hear your problems!" Clove yelled at Izabelle. ''Mommy, are you and Daddy not it love any more?" Rhiyadh asked. ''No angel, why do you ask?" Clove stroked her hair. ''I heard ye fighting again'' Rhiyadh moaned. This is the story of the real star-crossed lovers; Cato and Clove ''What do you want to do?" Clove asked. ''I don't know, kiss you?'' Cato said. Clove nodded. His lips crashed onto hers. "I love you" Clove said. ''I love you more" Cato grinned. ''Impossible'' Clove laughed. ''No very possible'' Cato replied.

Clove ends up partnered in the wrong age category with next years best contender for the crown: Cato Hadley. Everyone is jealous but Clove has bigger problems to deal with than her annoying partner. She has a secret that she's kept hidden for years and only Cato can save her from herself.
