Hi Tributes! Recently I've seen many posts in FB about Clove and Cato's "romance" so I decided to make a fic about them during the Games. This chapter is just to see if you like the story so I can continue it. Hope you like it!

Note: This is the translation, the original fic is in my profile.


Secret Love: Cato and Clove's love story

Prologue

And here we are again. All district 2 gathered for another reaping. In other districts guys like me must be nervous but it's not my case. I've trained since my childhood for this moment. This year is my turn to volunteer as tribute.

I HAVE to win this games to come back home, and I don't say it because of my parents or siblings, I say it for my beloved and beautiful Clove. She doesn't know but I'm completely in love with her. Even if I look cold-hearted I have deep feelings for her.

Right now our "ambassador" Alex Starlight arrives to announce this year tributes.

-Good morning citizens of district 2, before we pick our tributes we'll watch a video brought from the Capitol.

The screen near him lightens up and the video starts.

I don't care about it so I search Clove in the crowd. As soon as I find her I realize how pretty she looks with a mint green dress and her hair in a ponytail.

She notices me and smile, I smile back and look back at the screen.

-...this is how we safeguard our future-this is how the video ends.

-Well, it's time to choose our tributes. Let's start by women.

Alex walks to the ballot box and quickly takes out a paper. This man doesn't lose time!

-Let's see...- he open the paper- Ms. Clove!

What?! It can't be! I can't fight against her!

Clove walks out of her raw and followed by the peacekeepers she gets to the scenery.

-Now men- Starlight announces- Andrew Shaklare!

Pff, it's great I'll volunteer because he's a dumb and strengh-less man and would be a shame for the district.

I walk out of my raw and shout calmer than I really am.

-I volunteer as tribute!

-Wow, we have a volunteer, come on, get up here- Alex tells me.

I get up and see Clove. She looks worried. Following the protocol we shake our hands even though it hurts.

-Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.

Sure the odds are in my favor!...

Then, followed by the peacekeepers we enter to the Hall Of Justice. Before they take her away I have to tell her my feelings.

-Clove...

-Yes Cato?- she answers but I bet she's absent-minded. I'm not sure this is the right moment to tell her...

-I want you to know that I won't fight against you...-the peacekeepers push me into another room- I lo...-they close the door.

This are going to be the worst Hunger Games.
