Cato`s POV
The rest of training goes by quickly without any Glimmer and Clove fights. I can't help but chuckle. I can't believe Glimmer thought I liked her more than Clove. Clove was right though I do not like training with other people I work alone. I was starting to get annoyed with Glimmer following me around everywhere. I hear a robotic voice call me in. I get up from the dining table and walk to the training room. "GOOD LUCK" I hear Clove yell "THANKS" I call back not bothering to make a sly comment. I walk through the huge training room doors. I walk to the center of the training room "Cato Skinner" I say getting the games makers attention. I see that they are drinking. I conclude that they will be drunk by the time they get to district 10.
I walk to the swords and start hacking away at the dummies. I make a mess then go over to the spears. I hit all bulls' eyes. I then tie a knot making foot holes and places to grab. I them hang it from the ceiling. I climb to the top of it with my sword and while standing on the rope I throw my sword and it chops of dummies head. I laugh a sinister laugh and I climb onto the ceiling. I am hanging upside down now and I untie the only way down. I let it fall to the floor. I pull me self up in a crunch and grab the bars with my hands. I then let go of my feet so I am hanging from the ceiling. I let go and as I hit the floor I throw a spear, its hits right in the center of the bull's eye. "You are dismissed" I hear someone say and I turn to see the game makers nodding approvingly. I smile and walk out the door expecting a very high score.
Clove`s POV
After about 15 minutes they call my name. I'm guessing Cato did one of his knot tying tricks. That's why it took so long. I am the only one to know about his skills and he taught me some I could use with my knives. I had asked him if I could use them and he said yes. Saying anything to make you get a better score, more sponsors. I walk through the training room doors and stand so that I am right in front of the game makers. "Clove Senera" I say, I then walk over to the spears. Saving the knives for last. I get all the spears in the bull`s eye. I then throw a couple of knives all hitting right where I wanted them to. Like I said I never ever miss. I then go to the knot tying station. I tie one of the most hard and impressive knots. I remember to leave foot holds and places to put my hands. I get someone to tie it to the ceiling. Now that the rope is hanging from the ceiling I start my show. The end of the rope dangles just out of my reach so I have to jump to grab it. When I am in mid air I throw a knife. I grab the rope with my one of my hands and turn to see I hit the knife in the bull's eye. I throw another knife with my free hand making it 2 centimeters apart from the other one. I climb to the top of the rope and throw another knife and it hits exactly between the other two knives. I smirk and grab the ceiling with one hand and I let my legs go. I hear a gasp as I hang from the ceiling with one arm. I must look really strong. I then untie the rope creation sending it to the floor. I let myself go and while I'm zipping through the air I throw another knife and it lands directly above the knife in the middle.
"You are dismissed I hear someone say" I don't look back at the game makers as I walk out. I know their faces will look shocked, excited, proud and drunk. I feel sorry for districts 10 and 11 because the game makers are probably really drunk buy the time it's their turn. I definitely don't feel bad for 12 though. I bet there is nothing even to watch except their super camouflage skills.
I walk back to our floor. I bet no one will go back to the dining room. I step into our room and find Cato flipping through channels on TV. "Nothing to watch" I say jokingly. "I couldn't decide on a channel if my life depended on it" he replies with a smirk. "I bet you would kill the person threatening you with TV before he could kill you and make you chose a channel". "Oh now you agree I'm a better killer than you" he says while laughing. "I never said you were better I wouldn't get myself in the situation in the first place" "Oh okay big bad Clove I definitely believe that". "You better believe it "I say just as our mentors walk in.
"So need any help from us guys" Cerbon asks. "Nope all good" I reply. "Yea we were just talking about how much better I am than Clove" Cato adds while grinning at me. "In your dreams Cato you can only wish".
Cato`s POV
I laugh "Ha-ha I must be dreaming now then right?" I say back. Clove just glares at me I know I have won. I frown as Zura skips into the room. "So you guys can do whatever you want before 6:00 when we are having dinner. "At 6:30 we will watch the scores" she sounds so cheery I seriously want to punch her in the face. "Oh and we will be discussing interview strategies after we watch the scores so we can get a head start" Enobaria adds. "Kay" Clove says while skipping to the elevator. "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN CATO" Clove calls as the doors open. "THIS WILL BE EASY" I yell to her as I sprint to the elevator. I`m not quick enough though and the doors close in my face. I watch as the elevator descends I furiously press the button. The elevator shoots back up but when the doors open its empty. I push the button for the main lobby. I see Clove pinned against the wall by none other than Thresh the District 11 boy. I scowl and throw him of her. I land on him and punch him in the face. "Idiot" I spit in his ear. Out of the corner of my eye I see Clove get up. She has her hand to her neck and she is walking toward someone. I look up to see her talking to Marvel.
I punch Thresh one more time before getting up and walking towards them. "He got angry because I said his district partner the 12 year old was dumb. I said he was a wimp just like her and her grabbed me and threw me against the wall". "Oh that was good to provoke him Clove I won't always be there to save you". "Well Cato I had it all under control". Marvel starts laughing and I glare at him. This just makes him laugh more. "Yea okay blades" he retorts. I burst out laughing uncontrollably "Blades really cool name Clove". Clove grimaces then stalks away leaving me with Marvel.
"So how's your girl friend Marvel? Still talking about me" I`m surprised when Marvel punches me in the face. I'm angry now and Marvel must see it because he turns pale. I laugh a cruel laugh "Scared of me Marvie huh scared like the little baby you are". He punches me again and I tackle him to the ground. "Don't punch me pretty boy you're no match for me". I laugh again and get up after punching Marvel in the face. He turns red and cups were I hit him with his hands. "Yea that will teach you not to mess with me" I say.
When I get back to my room I take a nice long shower. Cleaning myself from head to toe. I make the mistake of pressing the wrong button and lavender smelling shampoo spits out at me. I grimace and try to wash the scent of me but I end up smelling like a bouquet of flowers. I finally suck it up and step out of the shower hoping no one notices. I quickly dress in jeans and a dark blue dress shirt.
I walk over to Clove`s room to pick out her outfit. She is not in her room but in the shower. I quietly pick out a dark blue v-neck sweater and dark jeans. I add some black flats and some jewelry before silently leaving the room. I then go to the dining room because it's almost 6:00. I enter 15 minutes early and I find Enobaria and Cerbon making out on the couch. I raise my eye brows as I plop down on the chair across from them. They are too busy making out that they don't notice me. "Get a room' I finally say. Enobaria head shoots up and she blushes. She quickly pulls off of Cerbon and sits on the chair beside the couch. "It`s alright" I say with a smile "Your secrets safe with me".
Cerbon sights in relief along with Enobaria. "Don't tell anyone or you won't live to see another day" Enobaria sneers. I laugh "Kay I got it" I even put up my hands in mock surrender making Cerbon glare at me. I turn to see Clove waltz into the room in the outfit I picked for her. She looks stunning in just the simple outfit. Zura skips in moments later. "Ready for dinner" she says cheerfully. "Yes" Clove says mocking her voice. Cerbon bursts out laughing and high fives Clove. Zura frowns and sits down at the table.
We eat in silence. I sit beside Clove with our mentors facing us. Enobaria is still blushing and I smile at her. She glares at me than looks at her food. We eat as much as we can fit. Why not gain wait before the games. After dinner we take our seats in front of the TV. I watch as Caesar Flickerman`s face appears on screen "Here are the scores of your favorite tributes". I watch as Marvels face comes into view. A 9 flashes by then Glimmers face comes into view she gets the same. Now it's my turn I hoot as the number 10 pops onto the screen. Clove gets the same and we high five each other. Shimmer and Neptune both gets 8`s. I watch as the sly district 5 girl gets a 6 and the little district 11 girl gets a 7. Thresh gets an 8 but I don't worry much I could take him own in a second. Now it's district 12`s turn the boy gets an 8 and I wait in anticipation for the girl hoping it's a low score I was wrong.
Clove` POV
Boy you do not want to be near Cato when he's angry. He threw a couple plates at the wall making Zura scream. He then punches the TV screen and storms off. I don't blame him for being mad how the hell did fire girl get an 11. I swear I'm going to cut her up into 11 pieces for every fucking point she got. I get up and storm to Cato's room now I`m angry. I nock on the door "WHAT" Cato screams obviously still angry. I storm into his room slamming the door behind me. "What the hell Cato why the hell would you throw those plates" "WELL BECAUSE I WAS ANGRY YOU KNOW THAT EMOTION WELL DONT YOU CLOVE" "WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER" my voice gets louder with every word I say. I`m so angry that I can't take it anymore I storm out of his room.
I have a shower when I get back to my room. I hope to wash all my angry thoughts away. I have no such luck.
Thank you for reading and sorry for the swearing. It just needed to be put in there, they are careers after all. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review.
