Chapter 1

~During The Rebellion~

Katniss POV

It was already one week since Gale and the few others who volunteered to rescue Peeta and the others. And then when they came back, they came back with Peeta,Johanna,Annie and then it was unexpected, they also bought Cato and Clove with them.

I didn't understand, I had no idea, that they were ALIVE, The ruthless Cato and The girl who could have almost killed me, Clove. It was weird of me to say their name, like I'm still afraid of them. But really I am, seeing them everyday, Daydreams, Nightmares, As if they were real, that they would kill me,Kill me and Peeta.

Flashback:

I look at Plutarch for an explanation that night and then he told me the whole story.

"The Clove and Cato you saw are fake." He starts, I raised my eyebrow. "During the reaping at District 2, When Clove was reaped and then Cato volunteered, Snow saw something in them, They were perfect for Snow's Army, that day they were asked to show their skills in front of us Gamemakers and Snow as well, Clove being good at Knife-throwing, Cato with his spears, machete and swords, they were perfect for Snow's Army."

"What Army?" I asks

"Snow already notices some uprising of the other districts, and then he knew he needed an army, Someone like Cato and Clove, he could have taken you to with your bow and arrow skills, but he knew District 12 is also starting an uprising, and he didn't want any traitors in his army. So they replaced Cato and Clove during that day and they were hibernated."

"So you mean they slept for… what a year?"

"Not exactly you see Snow wanted no confusion between them, so he injected the Fake Clove and Cato memories into the real Clove and Cato, so that they would also hate you the way the fake ones did. The problem is that Clove is not from 2, she's originally from12 so it was impossible for her to hate you and Peeta, the way the real Cato did - "

"Wait so you mean Clove is from 12 how did she -"

"Move from District 2? You see Clove is somehow, connected to Peeta Mellark, their family and everything. You see Clove's father was the first one from District 12 to discover that they are rebels underground, he saw a tunnel in the mines that lead to District 13, he was first unwelcomed but he proves that he also want to breakfree from the Capitol and most of all President Snow. He always finds a way that the capitol is wrong and says it aloud in front or behind the Peacekeepers, that results into beating."

"I think I've seen him before, he was one of my mother's patient, my father was the one who took him after the beating and told my mother to heal him, but it was impossible, his injuries were too great, and there was girl knocking at the door, she was about my age about 5 years old, my father took her and place her near the man, who I think was her father, she did cry but her cry was different.

They were just tears in her eyes, she did not scream, she just sat their brushing the hair away from her father's face and then he kisses him in the cheek and then he was dead, he thank both my father and mother. And there's a boy who came outside, he hugged her and told her 'Everything Will Be Alright, Saphire'" I say.

Thinking about it, about Clove's story makes me wanna hate Snow more, to think that she been through all that at a very young age, somehow I see my self as very lucky to still have My mother and my sister.

"Yes, Clove's real name was Saphire Walker, and I think the boy you mentioned is Peeta Mellark, after weeks of Clove's father death, when we knew that Clove's father was suppose to start an uprising, Snow didn't want Saphire er, I mean Clove, would follow into her father's footsteps, So Snow took her away from 12 and Peeta and gave her a new life in 2, a new family, a new identity as Clove"

"So what about her mother?"

"I think you remember her mother"

And then without Plutarch explaining, I remember her mother, she was the most beautiful person in the entire district, like my father when she sings, the birds also stop to listen and then I realize that I'm also connected to Clove, her mother was my aunt, That makes her my Cousin…..

"Yes, I do"

"Better sleep Mockingjay" says Plutarch and I'm off to bed, still having nightmares about the games.
