    Summary

    Right in her ear, her voice was a growl soaked in madness. “You made me bleed.” Her hand fisted Katniss’ braid and yanked her head back. “And what? Thought I would just let you escape?"

    Katniss bucked her hips, trying to throw her off, but the Career stayed rooted, balanced like a coiled snake. Katniss kept her breathing steady, refusing to give her the satisfaction of a flinch. Her gaze flicked past her, marking the distance to the bow lying in the leaves—three paces, maybe four if she had to roll.

    "I thought you might want this back." The girl twirled the arrow slick with her blood in her hand, while Katniss squirmed beneath her, she could even see the dark spot on the Career’s jacket where Katniss had shot her. "Maybe here." She poised the arrow like a mirror at the same spot Katniss had shot her, digging it into her flesh, their blood mingling.

    She panted, heart hammering, as the Career loomed over her. "That's how you got your eleven? Prided yourself to be some big bad hunter?"

    or,

    Katniss' decision to go against Haymitch's advice at the bloodbath could prove fatal then it draws the feverent attention of a certain Career.

    Summary

    Clove's chance to impress and serve her district is presented to her when she successfully volunteers as tribute for the 74th Annual Hunger Games.

    However, not everything is going the way she planned it to. Of course Primrose Everdeen has to be chosen for the same Games as her, and of course Katniss Everdeen has to volunteer and take her place.

    Clove decides that as long as she can keep her composure, she can get herself and Katniss both out. In fact, she promises.

    The concept of the Hunger Games, as well as most of the characters, belongs to Suzanne Collins.

    Summary

    Clove takes a deep breath, counting to three before letting out a shaky exhale. Okay, go over what you know, she thinks to herself. One, you had died. Two, you are back now. Three, the reason is…

    She pauses.

    Why was she back anyways?
