Fighters From District 2

Chapter 26

The training Days are over. And now Cato and Enobaria are getting ready for the interview stages. Cato is having "speaking lessons" as Gabe calls it. He needs to be taught how to Engage in convocation. And make the audience feel bad for him. That's what all the victors are doing. Gaining sympathy from the crowds. By saying lots of heart touching things...

The interviews are tonight. And Cato still has to try on his suit. This job is stressful. Brutus and Enobaria are working on Enobaria's speech. And getting her mind set for tomorrow. And Gabes with Cato. I however am sitting and watching. Wandering around between the two of them. In about 30minutes they have to swap and Enobaria is going to learn how to walk in heels again. This is ever so boring. But them suddenly gets interesting. I turn around and see Cato slamming paper down on the table "I can't learn this! It's stupid! Why can't I improves like last year?!" He shouts

"Because this year is different!" Shouts Gabe

"What's going on?" I walk in and push Cato gently away from Gabe

"I can't learn this thing by tonight. One it's stupid and two we should be able to improvise" says Cato

"Well what does it say?" I ask. I take the paper from the table and read

"I didn't want anyone else to know about me and Clove. When I'm in the arena they could hurt her!" Shouts Cato.

"They won't Cato-" says Gabe

"Shh!" I shout. I read the writing in my head. "Hi Caesar. Yes I'm..well no I can't believe this is happening. I was just freed and now I'm back in. Clove is safe. Which is good. I don't want anything bad to happen to her...I love her to much" I stop reading "he can't say this. I mean. What Caesar might not even ask the questions which go with this" I tell Gabe. His face drops and he frowns

"Sorry Clove. I didn't realise" he says and walks over to Enobaria.

"Clove what am I going to say?" I ask Cato. We watch Brutus walk over to us and then I look up to him

"Improvise I guess" I say and walk away.

"Clove!" He shouts. I turn around

"It's what you wanted" I say, smile and walk on. I hear him laugh and grunt at the same time behind me. I sit with Enobaria as she watches Gabe show her how to walk in heels. He's not wearing them. He has got one of the prep team to do it. I watch her struggle and fall. The time flys by and it gets dark

"Come along now. We must get going." Instructs Gabe. We all walk to the elevator and we cram in. I get out at a different level to Cato, Gabe and Enobaria. They walk away. And out of sight. They have too go and get ready also they have too get to the backstage door. We have to go round the front. And que up for our seats. Great. We should be allowed backstage. For support. We stand in a line of strange looking people. I suddenly hear lots of screaming and cheering. Brutus waves to the crowds.

"Come on Clove" he says. I follow him. Maybe we don't have to wait in this line. "Wave Clove. They are cheering for you" he says. I smile and wave. And the cheers get louder. I can't help but laugh. We go in through a door which leads to the front row. So we didn't have to wait. We get special treatment. I take a seat and wait for all the seats to fill up. The stage is set differently. There is a ramp which leads onto the stage. The front row is very far back. Considering it is the front row. I have a great view though. The seats fill up. And the lights go down. I sit forward in my seat and smile. Cato should be on in about 15 minutes. The Music begins to play and lazier lights flair.

"Is everyone ready?!" Shouts. Whom I can only guess from the positive voice is Caesar Flickerman. He jumps out from the sliding doors at the bottom of the ramp and shows off his pearly white teeth. He laughs like a maniac. "Yes yes! Tonight! We have almost all the victors in one place! We have Captiol favourites!" I hear a loud swoon of girls and a cheer. I hear Finnick's name being shouted. A lot. How is he that popular?! "We have the skilled! And we have the well. The other ones!" And he chuckles "don't forgot the Victors in the audience! The mentors!" He shouts. I look around and people cheer. "Yes yes! Now shall we begin?!" He shouts. And chuckles again. He has sparkles in his Bright purple hair and eyebrows. "Let's bring out district 1! Gloss and Cashmere! Come on out here!" He says and two Blonde and broad body's come walking out. They smile at the audience and then Gloss give a wink. "Now. Tell me tell me tell me. Brother and sister. In one games. We are honoured!" Says Caesar
