The Train
Cloves pov
Here is another chapter I have nothing else to do but write so
another chapter has been made I definitly don't have writers
block :) So without further ado, I give you chapter 3, The Train.
I see Cato finally step onto the train, he looks evil and ruthless like a killing machine. I know it's just for the cameras but I can't help but shiver. Cato comes over and stands beside me, we plan on keeping our relationship a secret so we don't acknowledge each other.
Zura walks over to us followed by a man and a woman, probably our mentors. They introduce themselves as Enobaria and Cerbon. Enobaria won the 59th Hunger Games by ripping her competitor's throat out with her teeth. The capitol gave her gold fangs for the memory. Cerbon won last year's Hunger Games by pretending he was dead then killing the tribute while he was celebrating. Enobaria is going to be my mentor and Cerbon Cato's. Zura shows us our rooms so we can get changed before dinner. "Be at the dining cart at 7:30" Zura tells us. Cato and I both go into our separate rooms that happen to be side by side.
I wait until Zura has left before I go over to Catos room. I silently step inside. He is sitting on the bed facing away. He is sobbing. "It's okay we are going to be okay" I say. Cato turns towards me as I rush into his arms hugging him tightly as he kisses my forehead.
We stay like that for awhile, never wanting to break apart, not wanting it to end. When we finally break apart, it is 7:00 so I go to my room to take a shower. The shower is very confusing with all the buttons and different colours, now I wish I had listened to Zura while she explained how to use it.
I hear Cato enter my room, probably to pick out my outfit. I yell for him and he comes bursting through the door looking frightened. I just laugh. "Help me with this shower will ya!" He laughs and says, "Didn't you listen to Zura." "No, now please just help me, I want to get this shower over with." I reply with a smirk. "Press the blue button for a steady stream of water and the light pink one for rose smelling shampoo." "Why rose smelling." I say scrunching up my nose. Cato finds this amusing, "Because it smells good, of course" and with that Cato goes back to my room shutting the bathroom door behind him.
After my shower I find my clothes lying on my bed. Cato is beside them snoring, he probably fell asleep waiting for me. Cato has laid out a blood red dress that goes to my knees that is strapless. It has a sparkly belt with black gems. He also laid out tall black boots. I see Cato is wearing a blood red dress shirt that matches my dress in color and black dress pants. I quickly put on the outfit and shake Cato to wake him up.
We then go to the dinning cart together. We are 5 minutes late. Enobaria and Cerbon are talking about their Hunger Games. Zura is glaring at us "YOU ARE LATE FOR DINNER THE FOOD IS GETTING COLD!" she yells. "Calm down Zura, stop screaming and cut them some slack, it's only 5 minutes!" "Yea, they were probably planning their outfits together." Carbon adds. This makes me blush and from one look at Cato I can tell his cheeks are as red as mine. Zura finally says "Well at least you look presentable." We sit down at the table and dig into our food. Cato and I eat until we feel like we are going to explode.
After dinner we watch the reapings. The careers look strong this year and a district 11 boy looks very strong. We plan on asking him to be a part of our alliance. The only other thing that really catches my eyes is a tall girl with misty grey eyes that volunteers. This is weird because she comes from district 12 and noone ever volunteers there. But I find out she was just volunteering for her sister so she does not interest me much.
After a brief talk with our mentors, Cato and I head for bed. We stop in front of our doors to say goodnight. "Night night Cato, dream swell dreams" I say "Night clove see you tomorrow." We kiss a passionate kiss good night and I head into my room. I throw on pajamas and climb into bed falling asleep instantly.
Please review, I would like to know if any one reads my story good or bad. Oh and please read my other story and send me a tribute !
