Clove's POV.
I just heard the announcement. There's a feast at the Cornucopia. This is it. This is my chance to confront Katniss about what I did. She might be there. I just know it. While I was keeping watch, I heard Cato's voice.
"Hey Clove." I turned to him. "You can get some sleep if you want. I'll keep watch." He said. "Thank you." I said. "No problem." He said. Then I laid down with my knife in my hand, ready for any tribute to attack me at any moment. I was trying to sleep as I was hearing Cato and Glimmer talking.
"So Cato, what's the plan for tomorrow?" She asked. Then he spoke. "Well, it's simple...we find Katniss..." He trailed off. "...And kill her." My eyes widened at his words. Then Glimmer chuckled. "Sweet. Can't wait for tomorrow." She said. Oh God, this is bad. They're gonna find Katniss and kill her. I can't let that happen. I have to find her before they do. When they both went to sleep, I put on my jacket, grabbed my knifes and ran into the forest to find Katniss. I am done. I am done with the Careers. I will find Katniss and tell her that I have left them for good. Hopefully she'll understand. I just hope she does believe me...
Katniss's POV.
I was hiding in the bushes, checking my surroundings to see if anybody was there to stop me. Then I was about to go out and get my bag, but then I stopped. Then I saw Foxface came and grabbed her bag and ran away. Then I looked and there were 3 bags left. One had the number 2 on it. I smirked when I saw it. Then I spoke.
"Of course Clove would come for it." I said. Then I got up and started running to my bag. I grabbed it and ran to the other side to leave, but then a knife was thrown at me. It was Clove. I shot one arrow at her and she dodged it. Then I shot another one and it pierce through her shoulder. She fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Then she got up and was running towards me. I was about to shoot another arrow at her, but then she lunged herself at me, sending us down to the floor. Then she got on-top of me and was about to stab me with her knife, but I blocked her hand with my arm.
Then we rolled around in the green grass and then she pinned me down by my arms and legs. Then she spoke.
"Hey lover girl. I missed you." She said. "So where's lover boy?" She asked. "He's dead! Peeta is dead!" I yelled. I tried to get her off of me but I failed. "Oh. Well that's too bad. Because I wonder what he would do if he saw you in this situation." She said. Anger was boiling inside me. Then I spoke. "If you're gonna kill me, then kill me! I don't care!" I yelled. I saw that she wasn't going to kill me. She came here for a reason. Then she spoke. "Katniss...I'm not here to kill you. I just want to talk to you. About what happened that day." She said. Then I spoke.
"What you did was so hurtful Clove! It pained me to see you leave me like that! To lie to me that all this time that, that wasn't love at all, it was just all part of the act!" I yelled. "I know and that's why I came here." She began. "I'm so sorry for what I did. I never wanted to hurt you like that. I was just scared. I was scared for my life. For your life." She said. "But...but you said that it was all just an act. And that the love between you and me was just all an act!" I yelled. "I lied Katniss." She said truthfully. My eyes widened at her words. She lied about those things? How could she? How could she lie to me like that? So then I spoke.
"What?"
"Yes Katniss, it was all a lie." She said. "A lie...but...but how could you lie to me like that Clove?" I asked. "I'm sorry Katniss but I had to lie. The love between you and me was not an act. It was real. It was all real. I love you Katniss and I would never do anything to hurt you like that. I love you with all my heart." She said truthfully. My heart was beating rapidly. I was taken aback from her words. I can't believe it. Everything she said was true. She does love me and she would never hurt me like that. Then I spoke.
"I love you too Clove. And I always will love you." I said. She smiled at me. I smiled at her. Then she kissed me with a lot of passion. I kissed her back and I tried my best to convey how much I love her into that kiss. We parted and we looked at each other for a moment. Then she spoke.
"Katniss...we need to leave. We need to leave right now." She said. I looked at her confused. "Leave? Right now? Why?" I asked. "I overheard Cato's plan Katniss. He's planned to kill you." She said. This is bad. Cato has planned to kill me. I wonder where he is now.
"Where is he now?" I asked. "He's sleeping. It won't be long until he finds us." She said. We were silent for a while and then she spoke. "Katniss, please...come with me. Let me take us somewhere safe. Somewhere far away so that they won't find us." She said. I looked at her eyes and they're telling the truth. Then I spoke. "Okay." I said. Then she smiled and kissed me again. We parted and then she spoke. "I'm really sorry about Rue. I'm sorry that we killed her, Katniss." She said. I held onto her cheek and spoke. "It's okay Clove. It wasn't your fault. I forgive you." I said. Then she smiled at me. I smiled at her. Then all of a sudden she was grabbed by a large figure. My eyes widened at the figure that grabbed her. It was Thresh. Then he pinned her against the wall and spoke.
"You killed her?" He asked her angrily. "N-No!" She said. "I heard you!" He yelled. Then she started crying for help. She was calling for me.
"Katniss!" I looked at her. "Katniss!" She called. "Clove!" I said. Then I quickly grabbed the bow and arrows and shot one through Thresh's back. He let go of her and fell to the ground. Then the cannon went off. I turn to see Clove frightened. I embrace her in a tight hug. She hugged me back and began crying in my shoulders.
"Shh. It's okay Clove, it's okay. You're safe." I said. Then she pulled away from my shoulder and looked at me. "H-He...he was going to kill me. I called your name. And you called me back. And you...you saved me." She said. "Yes. I did." I said. Then I kissed her. She kissed me back. Then we parted and looked at each other.
"We should get going now. But where should we go?" I asked. "To my campsite. And don't worry it's not the career's campsite, it's my own campsite. Follow me." She said. I nodded and I grabbed my bag with the number 12 on it and I grabbed the bag with the number 2 on it and handed it to Clove. Then we ran to the forest, heading to her campsite that is far away from the careers.
When we got there, she set up a fire. I know we need the fire to keep us warm but, what if they find us? They'll kill us on sight when they notice that Clove made a fire. Then I spoke.
"Are you sure about making the fire?" She looked at me. "What if they notice you made the fire and try to kill us?" I asked. She came over to me and kissed me. Then she looked at me and spoke. "You worry too much. And don't worry, we're far away from them. They won't find us that easy." She said. I smiled at her, knowing that her plan will work. She smiled at me, and then she took some food from her bag and started eating them. I took some food out of my bag and started eating them as well. What I got was bread and cheese. Clove got some chicken legs and some bread. When we were done, we sat there in silence. She was resting her head on my chest. After a moment of silence, I sighed and spoke.
"Clove...can I ask you something?" She looked at me. "Now that you're here...with me...what does this mean?" I asked. "It means I left the careers, Katniss." She said. I didn't say anything when she said that. She looked at me with concern in her eyes. Then she spoke.
"I'm serious Katniss, I did left them. For good. I'm no longer part of their pack..." She trailed off. Then she sighed and spoke. "And...I was wondering...if you would want to form an alliance with me. So that we could kill Cato and Glimmer and go home." She said. I looked at her for a moment. Then I spoke. "Can I trust you?" I asked. "Of course you can trust me Katniss. I will never ever hurt you the same way ever again." She said. There was nothing but the sound of fire that filled the arena. Then I spoke. "You promise?" I asked. "I promise." She said truthfully. I smiled at her, knowing that my Clove is back and that she'll never betray me again. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her passionately. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. She bit my bottom lip, begging for permission to enter. I parted my lips and allow her entrance. Then our tongues collided, happy that they are back together again. Then we parted, breathing heavily. Then we looked at each other in the eye. Then after a while of silence, I spoke.
"Clove...together...we can win." I said. She looked at me for a moment before replying. "Together?" She asked. "Yes Clove...together." I said truthfully. She smiled at me. I smiled at her and then she kissed me. I kissed her back. Then we lie together in our sleeping bags. Clove rested her head on my chest and fell asleep. I smiled at the sleeping form of Clove and kissed her forehead. Then I let sleep took over me. Me and Clove are back together again and as along as we're together we can overcome any obstacle that gets in our way.
