2. Volunteer

2: Volunteer

Cato's POV

I go to the square dressed up in my white button up shirt. I notice that a lot of people has already gotten here. Then everybody settles down and somebody from the Capitol go out to the stage and greets us. Her name is Faye Blue. She's dressed in a red dress and is covered in a very dark tan. Ugh. I wonder how this looks so beautiful to them. She gives a speech then they show us the video about the Games which they show to us every year. I look around while the video plays and I spot a small girl with a slender body and long brownish-black hair. Clove. She's wearing the dress I told her to wear. I grin ear to ear and the guy beside me stares at me. "What are you looking at?" I ask him with a deep tone to my voice. "Nothing! Nothing," he answers obviously looking scared. Maybe I was smiling too crazy that's why he looked at me. I notice that the video has ended and Faye was picking the girl tribute. She looks at the paper and reads it out loud, "Clove Marx!"

Clove's POV

The world around me is spinning around. I have the urge to throw up. I collect myself together and walk towards the stage. The girl from the capitol gets me and says, "any volunteers?" No one answers. This is odd. There is always a volunteer. I have to go to the Capitol and compete with twenty three other tributes. At that moment, I wanted to cry. I don't want to fight. Even if I know I can. I don't want to.

I look around and I see Cato. The big, tall muscular guy shocked mouth wide open. I wanted to jump off the stage and run to his arms. I don't want to leave. I want to stay here. I stare at the mountains when I notice that the girl was picking the male tribute. He opens the paper and reads out, "Matt Anders!" The guy beside Cato walks out then heads to the stage. Matt must be under fifteen. He's small and looks puny. Then I hear someone say, "I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute."

I see him running to the stage, his voice booming, "I volunteer!" What the hell ran through Cato's mind that made him volunteer? When he gets to the stage he picks me up and hugs me tightly. His body feels comfort then she puts us in the Justice Building.
