《Clato》chapter twenty-two

Cato raised his eyebrows. "Okay then."
Glimmer grinned. "Gonna betray your little girlfriend are you there?"
"What?" Clove asked.
"Didn't you hear his interview?" Marvel smirked. "He confessed to be in love with her."
"Oh." Was all Clove managed to say.
Cato sighed and started looking at the others.
Glimmer got Peeta some bandages.
"I say we find others near us and kill them." Clove suggested, then added "And I want you," Clove looked at Peeta "to see if Katniss is nearby. I don't think that any of us here particularly like her, and we would like her out as soon as possible. Agreed?"
"Agreed." Cato nodded and picked up some more gear.
The others began to nod. Clove motioned towards Marina. "Would you be ok with staying and protecting the stuff?" She asked.
"Okay." Marina nodded and sat down, grabbing an apple and biting into it.
Cato looked at Clove. "Let's go then."
Clove grabbed a belt and put it on, finding extra throwing knives and putting them in her belt. Glimmer, who Clove had never seen use any weapon successfully, picked up a silver bow. Marvel already seemed equipped spears and Peeta grabbed a knife.
"We'll be back before morning." Clove told Mariana, even though it could only be late afternoon. She was pretty sure Katniss was a fast runner.
Marina nodded her head and Clove looked at Peeta. "Lead the way, Lover Boy."

Cato smirked and followed Peeta.
Clove and the other careers trailed after Cato and Peeta, scanning the surrounds for tributes as they walked into the woods section.
Cato kept his eyes and ears peeled for any movement.
"How do you know she went this way?" Glimmer asked Peeta.

"She loves the trees." Peeta answered simply. Silence resumed.
Cato frowned slightly, he found a snare and knelt down.
Clove looked down at Cato. "What is that?" She asked. The group stopped to look. It had started to get dark.
"It's a snare." Cato said, standing back up and looking around.
Peeta seemed interested as soon as the word 'snare' was mentioned.
"Katniss make snares?" Clove asked.
Cato continued walking, following a few footprints.
"Yeah." Peeta answered.
Katniss had to be nearby if it was hers. Clove looked up at the horizon and saw smoke. She followed it's line down and saw it's source.
Clove grinned. "I smell smoke."
"Perfect." Cato smirked and headed in the direction of the fire.
Clove followed Cato and the rest of the group followed her. Soon the person nursing the fire came into sight. It was the girl from district eight.
* * *
Cato smirked at the sight of the girl, twirling his sword in his hand.
Clove grinned. It wasn't Katniss, but Clove still liked the thought of her dying. She was a fool to light a fire. It was cold, but she was a fool.
"Who gets to kill her?" She asked.
Cato looked at Peeta. "Lets see if he's got guts to do so."
"I've never killed anyone before. Could you give me a demo maybe? I'll kill the next one." Peeta replied, he seemed relatively unfazed by the prospect of killing her though.
"Ugh. Fine." Cato snapped and stabbed the girl. Her scream echoed.
Clove grinned. "Let's go find Katniss."
The group moved on, following Peeta's lead.
"Where's the cannon?" Glimmer asked.
"It'll come soon." Cato told them and wiped the blood off his sword onto Peeta's shirt.

Peeta looked back at Cato and waited a few seconds, raising an eyebrow.
"Seems you're not the pro I thought you were." He turned on a flashlight. "Shouldn't we have heard the cannon by now?" He asked.
"I'd say yes. Nothing to prevent them from going off immediately." Marvel replied.
"Unless she isn't dead." Glimmer suggested.
"She's dead. I stuck her myself." Cato snapped, there was a slight sound of leaves shaking but he didnt take much notice of it.
"Then where's the cannon?" Marvel asked.
"Someone should go back. Make sure the job's done." Glimmer said.
"Yeah, we don't want to have to track her down twice." Peeta said with a smirk. Clove was trying to stay out of the argument.
"I said she's dead!" Cato argued. The group turned into chaos.
"We're wasting time!" Peeta yelled. "I'll go finish her and let's move on!"

One day, deprived of the internet Vesper ventures out from her parent's basement into the outside world. Only for things to go horribly awry when she is exposed to a glowing mystery goo and her life changes forever. She gains super strength, endurance, speed, and even regeneration! What could possibly go wrong? Well... everything really. Vesper mutates into a monstrous wasp creature, though her mind remains somewhat intact. She struggles to suppress her new instincts, cravings for meat, and hold onto her crumbling humanity. No longer human, Vesper joins the ranks of the other extraordinary people known collectively as Supers. The so-called Heroes and Villains. Thus starts her adventures through the mysterious, dangerous, dark, fantastical, silly, lewd, and at times downright insane world of Supers. Will she claw her way out as the Hero Bronson City needs or will she give in to her darker half and become the Villain that makes it bleed? (18+ gore, sexual content though not particularly descriptive of the acts themselves, cursing, drug use, yuri, yaoi. implied rape in various forms, mental and physical, though not overly descriptive.)

8 162The Robomechanic Wanderer
The world is about to change from how it once was. A powerful system just landed on earth. They started to manifest an immense amount of portals which all leads to different pocket dimensions, shaped like videogame dungeons. A reset of the world and society how we know it. This new world makes it possible for every ordinary human to have a second chance. A second chance to become something greater then what they could achieve in the old world. One of them is Collin. A young man who have hit his all time low. After his parents got divorced and his mother died suddenly. His dad didn’t want anything to do with him anymore and started his ‘new’ family. Which made him leave Collin to rot on the streets. Trying to make the best out of it he managed to meet two friends for life who would support him through thick and thin. While he was staying over at the homeless shelter. Together they entered one of those mysterious portals when the world changed. In here Collin found out that he was given the epic grade class. Simply called Robomechanic. Which allows him to build loyal companions who would fight his fights and even wars for him. This marked the start of their climb from the rock bottom of the old world, to the top of the ladder of this brand new world. However, of course they aren’t the only ones who wish to make a name of themselves within this new world. With most of them having no regards for others. How far will the trio actually come, with corporations and government rejects trying to control the ones standing below them. Note:This was my first novel which I now expanded onto with chapters. It’s meaning is mainly for me to practice my writing by writing an actual novel.

The court officials and chancellors desire strongly to see his death. His royal brothers itch to swallow him whole. Warding evil spirits during the day and expeling demons at night - he is the tyrant who strikes terror in the hearts of the common people.Creating the foundation of a thousand year dynasty, leaving behind accomplishments that change generations - he is the controversial Emperor of Qing debated over in history texts.Note: The Qing in this story is 青, which is made up and different from the existing Qing 清 dynasty of China's history.
