CHAPTER 4

CLOVE P.O.V

I was sat down in the dining car eating some porridge with blue berries in them. I immediately think there night lock when I picked them up. I guess the games are already getting to my head. I was eating my breakfast when Cato walked in. I didn't look at him though because I already knew it was him anyway. I don't mean to ignore him on purpose I just don't want to see him anymore. One of us is going to live and the other will die or we will both die. And we know it.

I watch him in the corner of my eye but keep my face down looking at my porridge. Typical Cato, he piles his plate high with bacon, sausages, eggs, toast everything you can imagine for a full breakfast. He says it gives him a good start to the day.

"Well will be in the Capitol soon," Enobaria states "So I would recommend eating quite a bit, you have a big day and probably won't be able to eat again till about 2, after would have been with them prep team, oh and don't refuse to what they want to do with you"

"Ok" I mumble and Cato just nods his head with his mouth full of food.

I hurry up and finish my porridge and leave the table, but it seems Cato had the same idea too. I try to walk a bit faster out of the door but it doesn't work.

"Hey, clove can I talk to you before we pull up into the Capitol" He says, to me.

No, go away. I don't want to talk to you. I thought you loved me. That what's going through my mind.

"Yeah, sure" I say, but I don't give any emotion off really.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. What about you though. This is what you've always wanted, to be here going on the train to the capitol-"

"Yeah, but not with you".

I freeze at his reply. Maybe he does love me, like he said.

I stare into his bright blue eyes and whish that we could be back at home, in the woods or even training. He looks at me and lifts his hand up to my face and pulls me forward. He puts his arm around my waist and pulls me up against him. He looks into my eyes and kisses me softly.

"I still love you" He says,

"I do to, but we need to start acting like careers when we get to the capitol, and someone might catch us if we do stuff like this in an open area"

"Fine then" he says and open the door to my room and pulls me in with him.

He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me in again, he presses his lips against mine and we kiss for as long as we can before there's a knock on my door.

"Were minutes away from the Capitol Clove! I suggest you come out to prepare yourself for our arrival!" Cilia squeal though the door.

We and Cato just look at each other and giggle quietly to ourselves.

"Ok, I'll be out in a minute" I yell through the door.

I hear her shoes walk of and go through the door, I turn back and still see that my arms are lock around Cato's neck and the arms are around my waist. We quickly kiss one more time and leave.

Just as were back at the door I remember I left my knife under my pillow. I run back, pull off the pillow and grab my knife. I stick it in the side of my trousers and stuff the band- The strap I put around the top of my leg to put my knife- in my pocket and walk out the door again.

We walk into the main cart were we eat and sit. We walk in and Enobaria is already there and so I Brutus.

"Right when we get out, just smirk and look confident and a bit aggressive if you can show that and we can just wait until parade to show you off even better" Enobaria tells us.

"Will do" Cato says.

The train starts to slow down and we go to the window. You can stat to make out that we are going into this long tunnel to pull up into the train station. The train slows down even more and we are slowly pulling up into the train station.

There's Capitol people everywhere, dressed up in there flashy colourful outfits.

"God, my eyes hurt. It's like looking at a rainbow" Cato says.

"Right get to the door, let's go!" Cilia puts her hands behind our backs and pushes us forward towards the door.

I and Cato are stood first at the door and Enobaria and Brutus are stood second and then Cilia at the back.

The door slides open and I jolt back a bit when it opens. There's cameras and people all stood outside waiting for us. Me and Cato just look at each other and nod. We step off the train and starts to walk out down the platform. We both have our heads held high and have little smirks on our face. We get escorted by peacekeepers into a lift and we all go up to prep.

Cato goes one way and I go another. I get taken to this room and get told to take all my clothes off. I do as I'm told since Enobaria told me not to refuse, and I don't really want to get on her bad side.

I lay on this metal table and people come in and see to me.

"Hello I'm, Goona, this is Quat, and the young girl her is Una" says one of the Capitol women who seems to be my stylists.

Goona is a tall looking woman with long nails and tattoos on her body. Quat is a man with dark black hair and blue prints all over his body. And Una, she seems to be a quite girl, her skin is dyed a light violet purple and also has purple hair, she looks about 19.

"Right what should we do," Says Quat.

"May I recommend something's?" Says Una quietly.

"Go on darling" Says Goona,

"Right, I say we dye her hair black, take layers of dead skin, oil her skin then do a full body wax and the do her eye brows and nails" Says Una.

"Perfect absolutely perfect! You're a pure genius my darling! Genius!" Says Goona.

WOW, they don't get half excited about doing these things do they.

They stand me up and wrap me in dressing gown for the mean time and sit me down in a chair and my head is laid back into a hair washing machine. It starts to wash my hair and then it's done in seconds. They sit me up and start to add black hair dye to my hair. They add a black past then stick my head into like a dryer and it dries the paste in my hair. When that finished my hair falls out in perfect little waves and it's dyed a fierce black colour.

They lay me back down onto the metal table and start to wax my skin. I just hold onto the side of the board and try not to make too much noise. After the finish that they start to take layers of my skin of, they said it will give it a 'new healthy glow' in my opinion, it looks sore and red. Then they cover the legs in oil and wait for that to set. Whist they wait they start on doing my eyes brows and nails. Since there doing them at the same time, when they wax my eye brows I have nothing to clutch onto when they rip off another layer of my hair. They paint my nails in gold and stick little clovers on to them, which I think is rather cute. I doubt anyone's going to be staring at my nails.

They peel off the set oil and my legs don't look as red from my skin being taken off and them being waxed.

"You stylist will be hear in a minute, you can't put a robe on and sit up" Say Una in her quite voice.

"Thanx" I say. I only have to wait about 5 minutes until my stylist comes.

A tall woman walks into the room, she has tattoos on her body and has purple end to her brown hair, she has high heels on that look like army boots, she has a tight fitted leather skirt on an a baggy white top which shows the whole of her back.

"I'm Liviana, I'm your stylist, and you names Clove right?" she asks me,

"Yes I am" I reply,

"Well the parade stars in half an hour, you better get your costume on and we will put some make-up on you to".

She calls the prep team in again and they start to apply make-up to me. They give me golden eyes, put a bit of black eyeliner on, mascara, put a bit of gold on my lips, but on a natural blushed and then a then also add a bit of gold to that. And then there done.

Liviana pulls out my costume from behind the mirror,

"Here, put these on first" she passes my some little gold short to put on and a gold vest top.

'Can there be any more gold?' I think to myself.

I put them on and then she pulls out this gladiator suit,

"Wow" I say and smile at the outfit; I'm definitely not going to look stupid in this like some of the other tributes do.

I put on the golden gladiator skirt and the body like armor that goes on top.

"Perfect!" the prep team say "It's a master piece!"

"Right put on these and lets go" She passes me some golden sneakers that are lace up to about my ankles.

I put them on and we walk out of the door and stat to make our way down the room where we set off for the parade.

Cato's already down there waiting at the chariot. We both look the same apart from I do look a bit more girly than him.

"Hey, have you seen some of the other districts, they look like dicks" Cato laughs.

"Oh and both of you hear, put these on and give across a serious approach" Liviana passes us some hats that have like wings on the side of them.

"Ok, I take that back" Cato says, I laugh at him and we both stand on the chariot.

You can start to her the music play as two people stand at the door. About to pull them open for district one. They look like strippers in hot pink feathers about to go to Las Vegas.

One set off and about 10 seconds after we do. We get pulled out and there's loads of people out there scream our names. It's great, most of the attention it on us. Before 12 come out. On fire.

"How the fuck did they do that?" I ask,

"I don't know, but there definitely on our kill list" I say,

"Agreed, I get the girl"

"Fine but I get the boy".

We all pull up in front of president snow and he starts to talk out whatever. I don't bother listen.

But all I know is 12 is on my kill list.
