Chapter 2

I walk into the first train compartment, royal blue, with soft, velvet couches and mahogany tables. I sit down on the most luxurious looking one.

"Your mentors will be along any minute! I'll be planning your schedule!" Silver pipes "Bye!"

"Yes!" I hiss

Cato chuckles. "See ya sparkles!" He waves to Silver, who shoots him a look before stomping out of the room.

Cato sits next to me on the couch, an arm extending round my back. I shake my head at him.

"Please Clovie?" He begs, mockingly.

Clovie. I shudder

"No." I say.

"But why? You know you like me…"

"No. We're too close. I don't want to fall in love with you, only to slit your throat in two weeks' time."

"Look. I like you. I always have. No matter what I say, I will always love you."

I roll my eyes, amazed how often he lies.

"So," he says "You're gonna slit my throat?"

"You bet."

"Go on then, wrestle me to the ground."

He leaps on me, and pins me to the ground. I put my feet under his stomach and launch myself into a backwards roll, before springing onto his back, pinning him to the ground.

"That wasn't hard." I mock

"I wasn't trying." He says quickly.

I'm on top of Cato, when Enobaria and Brutus, our mentors, choose that moment to walk in on us.

"Geez, next time make a sign." Says Enobaria

"You normally use a bed I think." Laughs Brutus.

I leap off Cato, who is crying from laughter. I slump back on to the couch, Cato's arm once again wrapped round me.

Karate chop!

I swiftly smack Cato's arm with the side of my hand.

"OWWWW!" What was that for?" He grumbles.

"For volunteering." I hiss, and this time, everyone laughs but Cato.

I remember Enobaria. She won the games about 10 years ago, by ripping out the opponents' throats with her teeth. Since then her teeth have been sharpened and gold implanted in them, giving her a rather freaky appearance, but boy, she can smile. I know Brutus, but I don't remember his games. All I can remember is he had 'Brute' strength. Haha. He is BIG. Bigger than Cato, maybe bigger than me on Cato's shoulders! He has short brown hair that compliments his tanned skin. Just like Enobaria. And Cato has tanned skin. Am I the only one who burns in the sun?

Cato walks over to Brutus, ready to shake his hand, but Brutus pulls him in to a kiss. Cato struggles, but Brutus holds him tight. I'm howling with laughter, tears streaming down my face, dripping onto the floor. Brutus finally relaxes his grip, Cato breaking from the kiss. He bursts out laughing.

"Gotcha." He mocks "Gotta be ready for anything." He pouts his lips, ready for another kiss.

So Cato punches him in the face.

I stop laughing as blood begins to pour out of Brutus's nose. Brutus grins.

"Broke it ages ago. Anyway, let's get down to business."

I Know it's shorter than the last, but I'm too excited for Christmas to write anymore! Next update may be a little late, will be playing on the iPad i get (I hope!)
