Return of the Tributes

Omigod! Thanks so much for reading my story! I didn't expect this reaction. I'm sorry Thresh isn't in here much, but I have a lot of trouble with his character, it's just not like most characters I do. I'll try to put him more in the next chapter. This chapter kinda ends in a cliffhanger, because I love writing cliffhangers. The next chapter should be up tomorrow.

Prologue

You may have thought they were dead. Well not anymore. The Capitol leaders of before the rebellion went underground, taking the bodies of the dead tributes with them. Using Capitol technology, they were able to bring the tributes back, only the smartest and strongest were brought back to help regain control of Panem. This isn't the end of the story…

Clove 3: A Waiting Game

I didn't answer her question. I couldn't. I just told her to finish her food. Then took her to Cato's room, which happened to not be that far from her room. Inside I found Glimmer flipping through the pile of past hunger games movies. Thresh and Marvel were there too. Marvel asleep on a chair, drool slipping from his mouth. Thresh was leaning against the wall glaring at the opposite wall.

"Do the 71st games, it's my favorite." I tell Glimmer and she quickly selects a DVD, putting it in.

I sit down in a chair gesturing for Arrow to do the same. Glimmer pulls at chair up next to me as the games start. First up the interviews, I love this because the Capitol did a great job of editing it to make it really cool.

"So Johanna, what are the skills that will keep you alive in the games?" Caesar asks Johanna Mason, my favorite victor.

"I really don't have any." Johanna answers shrugging. "I can't fight." It shows a part of the games where Johanna is fighting off a group of Careers with an axe. "I really have no idea what is eatable." It shows her gathering fruits for the tops of the trees. "And I definitely can't kill" It shows her throwing knives at tributes from high up in the trees.

"I'm sure you are good at something." Caesar reassures her.

"I'm not. I wish I was, but I not. I'd be lucky to survive the first day." Johanna looks sad.

Then it skips to the games. The arena is an orchard, surrounded by fields of crops, and then the arena breaks into pure water, by far my favorite arena. Johanna breaks into a run, snatching up a backpack on the outskirts of cornucopia before racing into the orchard. Just to say this, the bloodbath at Cornucopia is horrid. Sixteen tributes die, including the boy from 1, both from 3, the girl from 5, both from 6, the boy from 7, both from 8, both from 9, the girl from 10, both from 11, and both from 12. That was the worst bloodbath since the 45th where all the tributes except one career died. Johanna sat in a tree, hiding in the leaves watching the entire thing. When the careers went on their tribute hunt, they saw Johanna but left her alone, thinking they could just kill her later and take on the more challenging tributes first. They kill the boy from 5, who actually put up a good fight killing the girl from one in the process. The girl from ten dies easily. 5 tributes left, all careers plus Johanna. Johanna is relaxing in a tree eating pears, then come the careers laughing like maniacs. Johanna sits up and throws a knife at the girl from 4 striking her heart, causing her to drop to the ground. The boy from two is out next, and Johanna jumps to ground landing like a cat.

"I thought you couldn't fight!" The girl from 2 cries.

"Big mistake." Johanna pulls out an axe and swings it narrowly missing the boy from 4's head.

Johanna ducks the girl's sword and swing her axe again, wounding district 4's leg. She chucks a knife at him after he falls.

"You just did my job for me, District 7. Thank you, now I don't have to kill them." The girl from 2 smiles evilly. "I'm gonna have fun killing you."

Johanna dodges another stab from the girl from 2. And cuts off the girl's left arm. Ow, that must have hurt. The girl shrugs it off and takes another stab at Johanna, who easily parries it with her axe. Finally after a log and bloody battle Johanna is able to cut off the girl from 2's head. The cannon goes off and it sucks to the after games interview.

"That was a great strategy for the games. How did you come up with it?" Caesar asks Johanna.

"The games never change. The Careers kill tons of people then take on the strong people, then the weak ones. So I figured if I acted weak, then I would survive." Johanna replies.

"Brilliant! I never would of thought of it." Caesar laughs.

"Because you aren't as brilliant as me. And by the way, Caesar, pink isn't your color." I laugh when Johanna says this, because it's so true.

The movie fades out. And we stare at the TV.

Glimmer pipes up, "I tried to do the same thing. I guess it didn't work." She shrugs.

"Our games weren't the best, Glimmer. It was all messed up, thanks to Katniss and Peeta." Arrow tells Glimmer.

"Wow, Arrow, I didn't think you would blame anyone." Glimmer says surprised.

Arrow laughed, her red-hair falling over her shoulder. "Well it's true."

"When is Cato waking up?" I ask.

"Soon, let's hope." Glimmer replies.

"I'm going to the training room." Thresh says. "Anyone coming with?"

I shake my head. I'm not leaving Cato again.

"Your loss." Thresh shrugs and leaves the room.

Arrow turns to me. "You never answered my question, Clove. Why are we alive?"

Glimmer answers for me. "To destroy Firegirl and take back Panem."

Arrow nods. I nod too. It's kinda obvious, so it's sad that I missed it. The Capitol needs us to lead it to victory. To take down District 12's little warriors. But wait…

"Glimmer… How many years have we been dead?" I ask.

"Not that long…" She says.

I hate liars. "Glimmer…" I growl. "Don't lie to me. You've seen what I can do."

Glimmer whimpers. "40 years."

"40 years, Glimmer! Katniss is practically DEAD!" I growl.

"She's only 57." Glimmer whimpers.

"Clove, wait." Arrow demands. "Katniss and Loverboy have kids. A girl around 11 and a boy around 3."

I smile. "Well, this'll be fun. I turn around and tell Arrow, "Find out where they live and all the rebel strongholds. They won't even know what's coming."

"You're missing something, princess." Marvel says, apparently he woke up.

"And what's that?" I growl.

"Cato still isn't awake." Marvel points out.

"You're wrong there, Marvel."

Cliffhanger! Hope you guys liked it. Please keep reviewing! I love all you guys!
