Clove POV:

This is a much needed vacation. The sunshine is amazing, and Thailand is so much warmer than New Jersey is. Yesterday we all went on a banana boat together. I didn't think that I was going to like it, but with 4 sets of puppy eyes boring into my soul, I agreed. I screamed my head off and probably had more fun than all 3 of my kids put together. Two nights ago, we took a family walk on the beach, before the sun was about to set we got blankets, pillows, and food and had a nice dinner while the sun was setting. The night after we got here, we gathered on the beach and lit these paper lanterns and we pushed them in the air. They flew through the night, and I watched them in Cato's arms. The whole time we visited places, we rode elephants, we water skied, and we had family time. Even Alex, who's in his teenage stage seems to be having a lot of fun.

"Babe, Sam and Darren want to go to the pool now," Cato says as he hugs me from behind. I check my watch.

"We can go, then we can to lunch at that place that Marina raved about." Marina were people that we got friendly with. They lived right next to us in the hotel and had a kid that was 10 and got along with the boys really well.

"Are you sure that you don't want to go to the beach, you wanted to go since we first got here," he asked, heading to the drawer where we kept our clothes.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Besides, the kids wanna go really bad, I don't want them disappointed."

"You used to not want kids, and now you don't want to disappoint them," he says shaking his head as if he didn't understand.

"Things change, I'm probably not even going in the water," I say, pulling on a loose shirt and shorts, I tie my hair up and look at him.

"Why not?"

"I'm reading this really interesting book about these children, and every year they are sent into an arena where they fight to the death, in the end there is a lone victor. And this girl named Jennifer was picked with this boy Josh, and she volunteered for her sister," I explain, showing him the cover.

"Sounds interesting," he says, kissing me.

"I'll go check on the kids," I say strolling out of the room.

"Mommy, are we going to the pool?" Darren asks.

"Yes we are, now all of you put on your bathing suits," they all change into their bathing suits and Sam brings his goggles.

"Is Gale coming?" Sam really likes Gale because Gale and him talk about dinosaurs.

"No, they're going to the beach today, we'll talk to them later," I say, taking Darren's hand and leading him outside.

"Sunblock everyone," Cato announces, carrying a big tube of sunblock. We all help each other rub the sunscreen on each other's backs.

"Let's go," Alex says, taking the lead. We all follow him the the gigantic pool. It has a slide, a diving board, and a basketball hoop. It's pretty empty except for another family. We sit right next to the shade and they all plunge into the water, immediately starting a basketball game. It looks like it's Cato and Darren against Alex and Sam. I turn to my book, it's so good. Jennifer is now running from this group called the "Careers" and it seems like they all want to kill her.

"Mommy! Look!" I turn from my book to see Sam doing a flip off the diving board, I applaud and he smiles.

"Mommy! Look!" Cato yells as he plunges into the water getting me splashed in the process.

"Cato! You idiot!" I scream, I'm soaked and my book is dripping. He just gives me a goofy smile blows me a kiss. I smile, I mean how can I be mad at Cato. They play about three games and I'm at the part where this girl named Isabelle tries to kill Jennifer, but I understand why. Even though they have murdered, the are just children brainwashed by the capital.

"Mom, your bookmark," I look over to where Sam's pointing and I walk over. It stuck on one of those glass things that they put by pools to make them look fancy. All of a sudden a gust of wind picks up the paper and blows it to the left of where it originally was. I look up and I see a group of birds flying away from the ocean. I pick up the piece of paper, in the glass it's reflecting the ocean. The ocean looks bad, I guess it's about to storm. All of a sudden I see a monster wave rise up from the ocean and hit the water.

"CATO! GET THE KIDS OUT OF THE WATER!" I scream as I see the wave approaching us. Cato looks and sees it too, but it's too late. I hear Sam scream and the water comes rushing at me, sending me smashing through the glass.
