Tell me, right now. What would you have done? Huh? If you were torn and battered, sliced and parched...what? I consider my options as I watch the 11 girl begin to light the fire. Hah. She thinks she'll get that far?
I watch her and recognize her as the one that hopped up in the ropes and ceiling during Training. Er...Rue? That's her name, right? Well, little Rue is doing some signal for Katniss, the girl that dropped the tracker jackers. I learned about signals back in 1.
What for? I have no idea. I cock my head as she leaps to the side as a bit of smoke rises from one side of the fire. Should I kill her? Probably...well...she is the one that was pointing out something to Katniss that other night. Maybe...maybe she told Katniss about the nest, which caused Katniss to drop it, which killed Glimmer.
I'll never forgive her for killing Glimmer.
I skirt around the area, setting up a trap, then returned to the bush I hid in earlier and waited.
Works like MAGIC.
I grin as Rue pads over to get another stick, but instead is scooped up in a net that flings her to the meadow nearby.
"Katniss! Katniss!" She screams. I can't let her bring her over here! Not now! I'll be outnumbered! I start running towards the meadow.
"Rue!" Is Katniss's reply. I run faster. I withdraw my spear and see Katniss helping Rue out of the net, and know it's too late. Or is it?
I throw the spear which lodges itself into Rue's stomach. There. Now she learned her lesson. I grinned, when suddenly, an arrow pierced my throat.
"No!" I gasp, then fall to my knees and topple down.
Is this what it feels like to die? I tug out the arrow, and crimson spills out. A horrible pain burns through me, and the last thing I see is the blood. My blood. I'm drowning in it. I cry out for Glimmer, but only gurgling comes out. Once I'm drowned and choking for air, pain stronger than before, light suddenly washes over me.
