You may be thinking this is like the Hunger Games, but it's not as alike as you may think, for there are changes in the story…
Clove walked into a room in the Justice Building, filled with golden patterns and miraculous shining things that nearly blinded her. She knelt on the floor, whispering to herself:
"Why does it have to be me?"
The room was soon filled with the sound of her crying as Iris rushed in, holding Clove's hand, tightly and it shaking as she spoke:
"You will win, I know you will. We are strong, our blood is thin and fast, so you will hide and RUN!"
Clove stared at the floor and imagined it to be moving, changing into a forest, seeing herself on live T.V, running fast through water, the weeds scraping her knees. She begins to think she is in the Hunger Games…
"Clove, where are you? We are a team, remember? I'm here, behind the trees, Come over to me!"
Screams fill the air as the District 7 tribute is murdered. Clove has no time to run before the girl from District 4 catches her and hurts her beyond repair. She screams for Cato. Then he comes and her last wish is this: "Can we sing a Little Fall of Rain?" Cato nods and they begin to sing:
Clove: Don't you fret, Monsieur,Cato,
I don't feel any pain,
A little fall of rain,
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know,
And you will keep me safe,
And you will keep me close,
And rain will make the flowers grow.
Cato: But you will live,Clove, dear God above,
If I could close your wounds with words of love
Clove: Just hold me now and let it be,
Shelter me, comfort me,
So don't you fret, Monsieur Cato?
I don't feel any pain,
A little fall of rain,
Can hardly hurt me now,
That's all I need to know,
And you will keep me safe,
And you will keep me close,
And rain will make the flowers
Cato: How shall I, dear Clove,
You won't feel any pain,
A little fall of rain,
Can hardly hurt you now,
Look, I'm here,
And I will stay with you,
'Til you are sleeping,
And rain will make the flowers grow
Once they had finished the song, Clove's cannon went off and he kissed her on the cheek and sat there weeping for his four leafed Clover.
Clove looks up and she is hugging Iris, feeling her heart beat, beating faster and faster. She heard the distant sound of Iris's weeps, how she felt so helpless and unloved, for her only family member was sure to die.
"It's just a dream, Clove." Iris said
Cato and I walked to the train. Brutus and Enobaria were going to take a long time to get there and Cato and I wanted time to explore the train.
As I climbed on the train, many people were waiting, looking at me in the eyes as if, I was dangerous!
When I walked into the kitchen, my feet echoed loudly on the tiles and I felt more alone than ever. Brutus and Cato walked in and they started to laugh at a joke that nobody found funny but them. I sat down on the couch and I wished I was alone. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of Montfermel, my true home. When Enobaria came in she was smiling at something. She walked over to me and smiled.
"Before you ask, I was laughing at my sister's joke. My sister told me it before she disappeared. She went to a place called Montfermel."
"I was born in Montfermel." I replied.
"You must be my sister Cassia's child like Katniss Everdeen and Primrose Everdeen are."
She smiled at me, showing her teeth. They were pointed and I gasped. She sighed and said;
"I don't mean to scare you but my teeth scare everybody when they see them for the first time."
"It's fine. I was just surprised. Are you going to be my mentor?"
"Yes. Can you use any weapons or do you have any noticeable skills?" She asked me.
"Yes, I can throw knives, use a bow and arrow and I can move very fast."
"Clove, don't show the others your skills. Keep your skills until the private sessions."
She smirked at me as she walked over to talk to Brutus. And I smirked back.
Cato sat down next to me and he looked at me like he thought I was weak
Brutus and Enobaria sat down and Enobaria pressed play on the remote.
