~Hello guys, short author's note here. I had originally planned to make this fanfic follow closely to the actual plot of the Hunger Games, but after seeing your suggestions I have decided that it would be more interesting to go off in a different direction. So please, keep reading! :) ~
A couple days passed and the number of tributes shrank to seven. Marvel had died by the hands of Katniss. So the Career alliance was now down to two. Cato wasn't all that upset by Glimmer's and Marvel's deaths. To him, it only meant that there were two less tributes that would get in his way. Clove, on the other hand, was even more enraged at Katniss for killing someone yet again in her alliance. Revenge was sure to be sweet. After Glimmer's death, Clove had gon absolutely insane. She didn't care about life anymore. If it moved, she stabbed it. Thankfully for Cato, she was sane enough to not stab him.
Suddenly, Seneca Crane's voice rang out through the arena. "Due to new technology in the Capitol, there will be a slight change in this year's Hunger Games. We have come up with...something. One of your fellow Tributes will come back to life and continue to fight in the arena. There will also be a feast at the cornucopia today. Each of you needs something...very badly. Good luck."
Clove felt a tiny glimmer of hope. "What if...What if they've brought Glimmer back? I've got to keep going..." she thought.
"Clove! Come on! We're going to the cornucopia." Cato ordered.
"It only takes one of us. I'll go." said Clove.
Cato nodded. "Go, then. I'll wait here. Don't screw anything up."
Clove headed off through the trees to the cornucopia, keeping an eye out for tributes. Just in case, she held her knife at the ready.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at her destination. Clove saw the table with the supplies on it.
Suddenly, a streak of brown caught her eye. Katniss! Katniss grabbed some medicine off the table. Clove watched her from behind the wall of the cornucopia. Katniss began to leave. Clove struck from out of nowhere, tackling Katniss straight to the ground.
"Aaaah!" yelped Katniss in surprise.
"Oooh, you're going to be dead now!" smirked Clove, an insane and bloodthirsty gleam in her eye.
Katniss struggled, but Clove pinned her down. She held up her knife above Katniss's forehead. Katniss grunted and tried to wrestle Clove from her. She wasn't very successful. Clove gripped the knife even tighter and grinned.
"You're gonna be dead. We'll kill you." she snarled. "Just like that little girl from eleven. Rue, right?"
Suddenly, Clove felt strong, thick arms yank her off Katniss.
"Uh oh..." Clove thought.
"Rue? You killed Rue?" the other tribute from 11 growled.
"No! Cato! CATO!" Clove wailed.
The tribute grabbed Clove by the neck and picked up a nearby rock. Clove's eyes grew wide as she realized what he was going to do.
Suddenly, the huge tribute went limp and Clove dropped to the ground. She brushed herself off and looked to see what happened to the tribute.
A silver knife was sticking from between his shoulder blades.
It didn't take long to see whose knife it was. Clove just couldn't believe her eyes.
The tribute was standing not so far away with a smirk of confidence on her pretty face.
"GLIMMER!" Clove felt a rush of joy overcome her.
