Every Moment is a Good Moment.

Thank you so much for reading. Please read and review.

Hope you all enjoy this chapter, sorry it`s so short.

Clove`s POV

I sigh and sit up stretching out my back in a cat like manner. My muscles are tired from carrying the bags of pairs last night. I had ended up taking second watch but Cato and I switched again so he must be tired. I had tried to convince him to let me stay up the rest of the night but he would not listen, he saw that I was tired and after that I did not stand a chance. I am thankful I got to sleep though, that was the best sleep I have had since the games began. I stretch my arms then stand up in the tent. It is just high enough for me to stand up but Cato cant. This tent reminds me of the time me and Cato went camping together. We had decided to camp out on top of our highest mountain Caliper. We used to climb it for training. We had climbed to the top, or more like Cato climbed and encouraged me. I hate heights as I said so it had scared to crap out of me but it was worth it. The view at the top was amazing I could see our district and lots of trees; you could also see district 1 and the faint lights of the capitol. It was breathtaking by far the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life, it made it even better that Cato was there with me.

I yawn and climb out of the tent. I do a couple jumping jacks on the spot to get my heart rate up for hunting. I didn't want to hunt animals instead of tributes but we were hungry so it would be all worth it. I can almost taste the fresh meat already. I can't find Cato anywhere; he might have gone to the bathroom or something. I turn to find some squirrels near the fire laid out with a piece of paper on top. Cato's token had been a note book so we could secretly talk to each other without the careers hearing us; we never had time to use it. I walk up and pick up the note book.

Dear my Clove,

I love you a lot and that is why I must do this. We both knew this day had to come but I feel it all came to fast. Sometimes I wish that there were more tributes left in the games so that I would have more time with you, but we both know we are not that lucky. I should have stood up to Cenap, so that we both didn't have to volunteer but let's just say I am a wimp. I feel horrible for leaving you like this but it had to be done I must kill the other tributes before they get to you. You are my only love and that is why I am doing this for you. Stay back at camp and I will kill everyone for you.

I love you more than my own life more than anyone has ever loved. I wish things could be different but they are not. Don't dwell over my death to long my darling.

Love,

Cato

P.S. I love you my little Clover you have always brought me luck.

The note leaves me in tears. I try to stop them but they keep flowing. I fear to drown in my tears that is how much I am crying. I mean I know this day was coming we both knew, I just don't know why I had to come so fast. I sit down and just cry. Crying over our good times and bad, crying about the times he made me feel upset and the times he made me better. I long for the times he encouraged me, for the times he lifted me up after I had fallen. But most of all I cry and long for the times he held me close and whispered that he loved me.

Cato`s POV

I chock back a sob as I trudge through the forest. I try not to think of Clove, of Cloves face when she finds my note. I am layered with regret with the thought that I could have stopped this but it's too late now there is no going back. I cannot undo what I have done, what I will put my Clove through but I hope this will fix this that, saving her will make it better. Somehow I feel it won't. I cry silently as I walk, I should have stayed back at camp to say a proper good bye but I could not face the look on her face when I told her. She means everything to me. She is my life and as I walk through this forest pondering what could have been I realize that no matter how much I cry, or how strongly I plead, nothing will get better and that is something I have to face and facing it is what I will do.

I know I have been gone for at least half of the day and it will take me until nightfall to get back to camp but I don't care I need to see Clove one last time to whisper I love you to her and to hear he whisper it back. I need to say goodbye to her face and kiss her until we can no longer breathe. I guess you could say I need her, and if you guessed that well your right.

I walk back through the forest following my path back to camp. I walk for what seems like hours longing for her lips against mine. I think of all the wonderful careless thing we used to do together. I long for the moments we camped and roasted marshmallows or lay in the grass and looked at stars. I hope we can do that tonight one more time before I have to really go for good. I will die for her and only her and that is my destiny, which is what has been laid out for me.

Thank you so much for reading my fanfic. You guys are the best and this chapter is for you. I know I really didn't need to post this chapter, it is just filler but I think this chapter shows who they really are. They are not just blood thirsty killers but children that have been forced by the capitol to fight to the death.

Sincerely,
