Clove POV

Sleep. I love sleep. It's the easiest thing in the world. All sleep requires you to do is close your eyes, rest your head back and let all thoughts and stress of the world leave your mind. It's probably the most peaceful things in the world. That's why I love it and enjoy sleeping in for as long as possible.

Sadly that never happens..

Beep, Beep, Beep

Ugh. I reach my arm out of my warm bed to turn off the alarm clock and groan as my wonderful sleep has ended. I look over at the clock and groan as it blinks 5:23 a.m.

"Why?" I ask exasperated as I throw my covers off with my feet. I ball up my fists and rub my eyes as I flip my legs over the side of my cozy, cotton bed and and somehow I manage to get my feet into the direction of my bathroom. My eyes are filled with sleep and I use my hands for my sight.

Smack!

I walk straight into the bathroom door and smash my head into the white wood.

"Ouch!" I hiss as I rub my forehead with the palm of my hand. I slam my hand onto the door and slide my hand down it until I find the brass doorknob. I slowly turn it an apply slight pressure and the door slides open with a small creak! I take a small step inside the polished bathroom. My hand feels along the side of the wall looking for the light switch. The rough texture of the blue floral design wallpaper brushes against the soft skin of my hand. The walls are warm and inviting and send a warm current through my body, waking me up. My nimble fingers rub against a cool, smooth plastic feeling part of the wall and I assume that it's the light switch. My fingers trace up the middle and switch on the light switch.

I take a few steps into the bathroom, to where I think the vanity is and gingerly open my eyes. The reflection in the mirror shows a small 4 9", 7 year old girl, wearing a pair of baby blue PJ's with wrinkled from 8 hours of sleep. Her long brown hair fashioned into a fishtail braid. Her big brown eyes have small specks of green and gold in them, her long black eyelashes framing them. Her face is all blotchy from sleeping on her face and some hairs are falling out of her braid.

I turn on the tap and let the cold water run onto my left hand. I raise it up to my face, allowing the cool water on my face to turn on my senses. I turn off the water and rest my hands on either sides of the sink. I take a breath and turn on my heels out of my bathroom.

I walk towards one of my windows and I pull open the blinds and bright, morning light fills up the room. It's still very early and shades of orange, blue, red and pinks streak the sky. I open the window and step one leg out onto the windowsill. The I put out the other leg and I sit on my windowsill. I am very high up, but that doesn't scare me. I'm very used to this, even though we've only been living here for a few days.

I swing my legs slightly as I watch the happenings going on in the street. The men are all driving in their fancy cars to their fancy jobs. Papa has already left. He is the CO of his own company, which ships supplies to the capitol.

I watch as a few kids come out and begin to play in their front yard. 2 boys and 1 girl. They seem to be playing an extreme game of tag. They're starting to bore me, so I look away and find interest in a nearby park that I haven't noticed before. It looks about a few blocks away and I don't know how I haven't seen it before. It looks rather nice, maybe I could go for a walk there later-

My thoughts are interrupted by a rock hitting me sharply in my left calf.

"What the?" I mutter as I look in the direction of where the stone came from. Down on my front lawn are the 3 kids who I saw playing together, rather early, on the lawn a few yards down.

"Hey!" A boy yells at me "Nice Pajama's" He mocks and the two other kids burst into laughter. Maybe I should go get changed...

"Hey, you're the geeky girl who threw a knife at me at the academy" The other boy yells. I recognize him, he was one of Cato's friends.

"Come down here, we want to have a little conversation with you" The girl yells with a smirk on my face

"Okay! Just a second" I shout down there. I jump away from the window and begin to walk down the stairs. Wait a second, they're going to beat me up! I can't go down there! I step away from the stairs and retreat back into my bedroom, scared about what's going to happen if they don't leave.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been really busy with my other stories and my life outside Fan fiction...
