Hi everyone again! Please review with your comments and suggestions, because I get so happy when I see a review! Thanks and I hope you like this chapter! Review when your finished!
The shock is so unbearable that I don't even notice when we are shoved into the justice building. As the guards show us to the rooms where we are visited by our family and friends, I am finally able to regain the one thought in my mind; why did it have to be the one person that I have ever loved in my whole life. My confused thoughts are interrupted when my mom and Brett enter the room. As I thought they would be, their delighted that I volunteered.
"Congratulations!"
My mom shouts and their both talking so fast that I can't say I word to them. It's five minutes before a peace keeper comes to escort my family away. Brett just says "see you in a few weeks" before they are shoved out the room. They never even considered to tell me they love me because they are certain that I will be coming back home soon. I was certain, I mean I am certain that ill see them again. But not without Clove at my side!
I few friends from the training centre come in and tell me basically the same thing as my mom and Brett did. I manage to ignore there strategies of killing the other tributes, because I don't want to know the most horrible and painful way to die. Because every time they come up with one, I imagine Clove dieting that way. And that is something ill never let happen.
After my so-called friends leave, I wait a few minutes alone in the room. I hear muffled voices from the next room. I realise this must be Cloves family. I can't help but eavesdrop. I hear lots off similar things my parents told me; "you will win" and "I'll be so proud of you. But they also tell her how much they love her. I suppose my mother couldn't spare a breath for that.
Finally, I'm shoved into a car, that will take me to the station. A few minutes later, Clove joins me and i can finally see her up close. Her perfect, deep brown eyes math her hair perfectly. Even with her small figure, you can tell she's strong. The car starts and minutes later we are at the station, surrounded by cheering crowds, consisting of district 2 citizens. I try to smile and wave but every time I see Clove, I stop. It's impossible to be happy with the fact that your lover might be dead in a short matter of weeks.
As soon as we board the train, I can see we are in for a night of beautiful things around us. The velvet couches, crystal chandeliers and furry carpets. To me it seems a waste but Clove settles herself down on a big couch and shrugs at me. "We better enjoy this while it lasts" I suppose she's right so I sit down on the couch and give a cheeky smile at her. She grins back and puts her feet up. I realise that this is the first time she has spoke to me and it is one of the best feelings ever.
When Enobaria and Brutus (our mentors) enter the room, we start watching the reaping tapes of other districts. A few stick in my head; Glimmer and Marvel, our fellow career tributes, from district 1; the sly faced girl from 5, the boy with a bad leg from 10, both tributes from 11 a massive and strong boy who looks like a threat and a 12 year old small girl. Finally the district 12 tributes give quite a stir as a brunette volunteers (for the first time in the history of district 12) for her 12 year old blonde sister who has to be dragged away from her. Overall, pretty exciting reapings.
We all go through for a quick, yet delicious supper, consisting of some kind of stew and orange juice. It's quite a pleasant meal, where we discuss threats, targets and weaklings. But after that I can't stand much more of it so I excuse myself quietly, and go to my room. I take a quick shower with confusing buttons and then lie on the king sized bed. It takes me a while to get to sleep but I think how much happier I'd be if Clove was lying beside me.
