"Glimmer! You've come back!" Clove exclaimed.
Glimmer nodded. "Yes." she said, smiling.
Clove dashed over to Glimmer and they hugged.
"Oh Glimmer...How on earth did they revive you?"
"Well, from what I heard, they first used antivenom and then put me through some strange machine. Apparently, the Games weren't exciting enough and that's why the rules changed." she explained.
"I'm so happy you're back..." Clove whispered, burying her nose in Glimmer's hair.
"Me, too. Did you see where Katniss went?" Glimmer asked.
Clove let out a cry of frustration. "Oh, nooo! I can't believe it!"
Glimmer shrugged. "Oh well, it doesn't matter. We'll get her soon. Now, who's left? Where's Cato? Where's Marvel?"
Clove's eyebrows furrowed. "Well, Cato's alright, but Marvel was killed by Katniss."
Glimmer snorted. "That figures."
"Yeah. The girl from 5 is left, and the two tributes from 12. And Cato. And, well...us."
Glimmer nodded. "Okay, so Cato we can take care of in secret. We're really only going to have to fight the girls from 5 and 12 and the guy from 12."
Just then, a cannon went off.
"Wonder who that was?" asked Clove.
Glimmer looked at the sky. It was just about evening. "We'll know in a minute or two."
Clove and Glimmer sat down to wait inside of the cornucopia. Clove suddenly turned to get a good look at Glimmer. There was almost no sign whatsoever of the tracker jacker stings.
"Looks like the Capitol did a pretty good job of patching you up." murmered Clove.
"Well, it's the Capitol. They spare no expense." replied Glimmer.
"Well, you are the prettiest tribute by far." whispered Clove, blushing.
Glimmer smiled. "Thank you. You're pretty attractive yourself, you know." She gently lifted Clove's chin and they kissed.
A few minutes later, the national anthem of Panem rang out through the arena. Clove and Glimmer left the cornucopia to get a good look at the sky.
"The ginger." said Glimmer. "I wonder how on earth she died?"
Cesar Flickerman began to explain about Nightlock berries and how the girl from 5 had accidentaly eaten some.
Clove smirked. "Must be pretty awful to have died like that and have the entirety of Panem know about it."
"Hey!" Glimmer pouted.
"Oops.." said Clove. "But those tracker jackers are fearsome! Much worse than some old berries. Yeah. Exactly."
"Good save." said Glimmer. "Well, you want to go find Cato and take care of him?"
Clove nodded. "Sure."
The tributes left the cornucopia and crossed the field to the line of trees.
Suddenly, something snarled from behind a bush.
Clove gasped. "Oh my goodness!"
Glimmer thought quickly. "Quick, up the tree!"
Clove and Glimmer scrambled up the trunk of the tree and got a good look at the aggressive beasts now dashing along the ground. They saw Cato speeding to the cornucopia right below. And on the other side of the field, Katniss and Peeta were attempting to outrun more vicious mutts. Cato, Katniss, and Peeta were going to collide in a matter of seconds. The Capitol wants excitement? Well, here it is.
