Author's Note:
Thank you for all your support in this story. This been my biggest story and I'm finally going to start to post more chapters here and there.
'Children scream in fear, stuck in a burning building. I just laugh and point. A knife goes to a young girl's head and kills her. The Peacekeepers send me to the Capitol prison. 25 years pass by. I'm 39 years old. Cato has left District 2 and all my friends have been killed from the Hunger Games. Since when did I become so evil?'
I wake up, feeling dizzy as the hot sun beats down on me so heavily. It was just a bad dream. I'm propped up against a tall pine tree, knife in hand. Oh yeah, I remember what happened last night.
(Flashback)
I stormed out of the Careers' camp and started running, and Cato began to chase me. He eventually caught up to me, and I threw my long knife at him. He dodged it by a few inches like he was a ninja. I pulled the next knife out of my belt, another one just like it. He was smart to run. I threw the knife at his back and it landed right in the center of his spine, killing him instantly. His canon sounded, and the rest of the Careers started chasing me. I was faster than all of them. I even dodged Marvel's spear.
They chased me until the sun rose, and I found a great hiding spot; really large bushes next to a tree.
(End of flashback)
I slowly started weeping into my hands thinking,
'Godamn you Clove, why did you kill your own District partner?'
This was not going to end well. I might as well kill myself, but instead I started crying even harder.
"Are you okay?" a small voice asks.
I look up. No one is there.
"Up in the tree." The small voice says again.
I stand up and turn around. A small girl with shiny brown hair and dark brown eyes is just barely peeking out of the big lush pine tree.
"Who are you?" I ask sadly.
"I'm Pixel, I'm from District 3."
"Pixel?"
"Yeah, my parents are really bad at names. What's yours?"
"Cl-Clove, I'm from District 2."
"Why are you so sad?' she asks, almost childish.
Pixel is so sweet, unlike my former allies who were brutal and selfish.
"I killed my own d-district partner. I didn't me-mean to!"
I started crying more heavily, and Pixel came down and started rubbing my back. I knew I was a weakling, I just freakin knew it! I suddenly remember about Peeta, still in the cave, waiting for me to come back. I stop crying for a moment and turn to Pixel.
'I have another ally waiting for me in a cave and he needs my help. Can you come with me?"
"Sure Clove, I'll be glad to. Can I be part of your alliance?"
"Of course you can. Since I'm not with the Careers anymore you can be safe."
Pixel hugs me tightly, and we set off towards the cave.
