Okay, I'm sorry I didn't update last night. I was about to update, but clicked the wrong X and lost all my work. Anyways, I might not be able to update this weekend since we're getting our floors redone and I have to help clean. But next week is spring break, so I'll try to update a lot. Hope you like this next chapter!

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 8: This Close

I sit next to Cato in the bushes near the Victor's Village in what's left of District 12. Which if you ask me is a very boring district; all they do is take care of each other. It's so boring!

I finally see Katniss walk in to her house and I take my only chance. I run towards her house, throwing myself upward and into an open window, ignoring Cato's whispered pleas for me to come back.

"Hello, Katniss. Long time, no see." I sneer and the older version of my enemy jumps.

She turns around slowly, "You, you're dead. I saw your death with my own eyes." She hisses.

"Well not anymore, District 12, but you will be soon." I smirk sadistically.

She grabs a knife from the wall and I pull out a dagger the size of my forearm.

"You're no match for me, old lady." I hiss, twisting my dagger threatening.

"I still have some skills, Clove." Katniss replies calmly.

"You won't kill anyone." I say, a smirk coming to my face. "Never would, never will."

"But you would, which just made you evil, like the Capitol itself. No wonder, you teamed up with them."

I almost fling my dagger at her for that comment but for some reason I don't, it's like I can't bring myself to kill.

"Trying to bait me." I smile at her. "Great strategy, but I'm not Cato. I don't have as much of a temper."

"You're not gonna kill me, are you?" She asks, smiling. "If you were, I'd already be dead or at least close to it."

I charge towards her and take a slash at her cheek, I'm really close to killing her but I can't bring myself to do so. I hear the front door scrap open and I run for the window.

I turn back at the last second looking over her bloodstained cheek, "Consider this your warning, 12. I'm out to get you and next time, I won't be as nice."

I jump out the window and run for the bushes, sliding into them. Cato is glaring at me, but his gaze softens and he hugs me.

When he pulls back, I tell him, "I was this close."

Another short chapter. So did you like? Did you hate it? Tell me what you think.
