Return of the Tributes
I'm so sorry that I didn't update last night! I was so busy last night! I promise that I'll try to update twice tonight. I decided to put in some romance between Clove and Cato, well at least hinted. Hope you like it.
Answers to Reviewers:
ButterflyBlueEyes: na. Marvel and Clove are just good friends.
Bookwormbunny12: and you wonder why we call you astird. And yes, I love cliffhangers. You have no trust in me do you? No I do not carry knives. Yet...
Liveera: Okay...
tawnyangel: It's fine. And there will be some Clato. I'm not sure how much, since I'm not very good with romance but I'll work on it. And Marvel and Clove are just really good friends.
Amyb11: There'll be some, I promise.
LexidaLou: Thanks! I tried to make it show that they are not as psycho as people think, that the really are just kids.
Unknown Reviewer: They are out of character because they weren't talked about a lot and were never shown outside of the games.
SaberGirl1005: Yeah. That would suck.
Conlon lover: Thanks. And Marvel and Clove are just really good friends.
Thanks for all the reviews. So without further ado... Chapter 6!
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…
Cato 6: Planning Firegirl's Death
I stand up, staring at Arrow. She didn't seem like a joker, and everyone knows not to mess with the Careers.
Clove jumps up, apparently Marvel let her up. "Really?"
Arrow nods. A smirk appears on Clove's face, a sadistic one, a smirk I haven't seen since the games.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let's go kill her." Clove starts for the door but Marvel pulls her back.
"We have to plan first. Not go on a killing spree." Marvel tells her.
"But-" Clove starts
"Clove, this isn't the games. We aren't the toughest competitors here. We have to plan." I remind her.
"Humph!" She crosses her arms and glares at the ground.
"I have a watch on her. We'll attack when you guys are more physically fit and are more prepared." Arrow says calmly. "I want you training in your strongest fighting skills. Clove, knives; Cato, swords; Marvel, spears; Glimmer, Bow and arrows."
I nod, well this'll be fun.
"Then we can kill Katniss?" Clove seems eager to kill Katniss; I haven't seen her like this since the games.
I guess Marvel noticed it to, "Clove, calm down. We'll be able to kill her eventually." He puts his hands on her shoulders to calm her down.
Clove seems like she wants to fight back but she quickly calms down and settles with glaring at her shoes.
I look at Marvel questionly and he mouths, "It's better than chucking knives at us."
I nod and look back at Arrow. "Go train." She orders walking for the agility courses.
I start for the swords and stop when I notice that Clove's gone. I look around, but I can't find her anywhere. Then something hits my head and I look up. Clove is smiling down at me laying on top some rope nets hanging above the training room. She lifts her finger to her mouth and points at Marvel. I nod and start walking to the swords. I pick up a sword much like the one I used in the arena and start destroying the Capitol's dummies. I soon hear a scream and see Marvel glaring up at Clove holding a knife in his hands, the mat is pierced and Clove is laughing. Marvel tells her something and she jumps down, landing like a cat. She smirks at me as she walks over to the knife throwing station.
Let's just say training was hard. Arrow made us work 'till twelve and then finally told us to get some sleep and be back at the arena by 6:30 or else. I'd love to see what she could do to me. But just in case I get to the training room at 5:45. To my surprise, Clove is already there.
She sees me and walks over. "Hey Cato. Trying to get better then me?" she taunts.
"No, I just didn't want a lecture from Arrow." Clove laughs. "You?"
"Couldn't sleep." She shrugs and goes back to archery.
I watch her for a couple of minutes then say, "You're still doing it wrong."
"But it works." She smirks at me.
"For now, not for later. Your muscles will tighten up after using it for a long time."
She groans and drops the bow, watching it fall to the floor.
I walk towards her picking up the bow. "Here." I place the bow in the right way in Cloves hands and help her pull back the string and release.
She pulls out of my embrace. "I don't need your help, Cato." She glares at me, then drops her gaze. "But thanks."
I shrug, "anytime."
Then Arrow has to walk in Glimmer, Marvel and Thresh trailing behind her and the training starts. If only I can be with Clove again.
So they didn't kill Katniss. Just wait a bit people, I'm not finishing a story before it begins. Tell me what you think.
