as i reach the kitchen clove's voice can be heard. "where are they annie!" shes screaming . "we had to hide them clove my parents dont approve and if your going to use them you have to use them outside" annie replys calmly. clove steps just outside the door. "now annie..." she says false calm and kindness in her voice." GO GET THEM!" she screams. annie hurries out of the room not bothering to egnoledge me. i hear her hurry up the stairs and her foot steps disapear. after a minute joshs voice can be heard from where i am."annie mom and dad told you to get rid of those you cant go give them to her." he snarls. "its your fault shes in this state" annie hisses." whatever "josh snarls back. "just make sure she puts them away before the guests arrive" he says. i hear annie scoff."i hope your happy" she spits and i hear her run down the stairs. as she comes back into veiw she is carrying a beautifuly carved wooden box. i have no idea what this box could contain so i follow behind her my curiousity getting the best of me. once we get outside clove grabs the box. it takes her only a few seconds to unlock it and have a peice of paper out on the ground. i look at the paper curiously its a target with little percies holes in it. its an odd thing to have. i turn back to clove who is ruffling through the rest of the contents of the box. finaly a smile perches on her lips as she draws out one of the most beautiful knifes ive ever seen. afraid someone is going to get hurt i go to take the knife but she hisses like a demon and swats my hand away. "whats she doing with that?" i ask annie as clove straightens up."watch" annie whispers and clove backs up acrossed the yard chucking the knife at the paper. it lands directly in the middle of the target. clove smiles but only for a second. the door slides open. "people are here"josh says stepping outside. a knife whizzes past him nearly hitting his ear and lodges itself in the wall. "control yourself cloverfeild." josh hisses. "your not my trainer" she say venimously and retrieves the knife from the wall. as she puts it back in the box she holds it as if its the most precious thing on earth and who knows ...it might be to her. she takes a deep breath through her nose and relises it through her mouth."im ok now" she informs annie closing the box and locking it. she hands the box and key to annie. annie nods and hurries away with the box. "thats a strange way to get rid of anger" i say to her as we stand alone in the yard. she shrugs. "it works" is all she says a ghost of a smile on her lips. "did you learn that at school?" i ask she nods. " its my specialty" she laughs. "i can tell" i say and for the first time she looks up at me not glaring she looks at me and smiles. her eyes trained on mine and they are the most beautiful colour of emerald its almost haunting. "good luck" i tell her. she looks at me confussed. "with the party" i say and she nods. "thanks."
josh's pov
i watch cato talking to clove from inside the house. theres something different about his eyes when he looks at her. and he took her side over mine... im going to have to do something before this girl changes him. "cato can i talk to you?" i call from inside the house. he drags his feet but comes in."what?" he says annoyed. "follow me" i say. reluctantly he does. as i drag him in my romm he colapses on my bean bag chair. "clove is off limits you know that right?" i ask. he just stares at me blankly."what would make you think id want her anyway" he askes suspiciously. "nothing im just saying" i respond looking around. "dude can i ask you a question?" he asks looking at me seriously."sure " i respond ."why does your sister have a box of knifes and targets hidden for clove?" he asks an eyebrow raised. "it calms clove down and her parents dont want her carrying the box around so since shes always here i guess they just agreed to stash it here...plus she awlays comes to annie when shes upset." i answer for the first time truely wondering if theres a real reason why clove keeps them here. cato shrugs. "you should really be nicer to your sisters friends" he say and one look tells me hes far off in his own world."what do you mean?" i ask. he shrugs"you know...not invite people that want them dead over...just a suggestion." he says smirking. "dude have you seen glimmer shes hot" i say smirking back. "so? sis before miss." he says and leaves the room. i ponder that for a second my sister...and i guess clove too are family and family comes first.
