Hey readers! Some of you might be reading my other story and know my writing, but this is my first one-shot EVER. Please tell me what you think of it! :)
Someone is watching me. There is a pair of eyes on my back, and I feel like I am a piece of meat. I have been caught stealing some of the Career's supplies. Slowly, I turn around and find one of the deadliest tributes in the history of the Hunger Games: Cato.
"Hello, Foxface." He announces with a smirk on his face. He must be so excited about finding me. I hope he kills me quickly, like a quick sword through the brain or through my heart. Suddenly, he slams me up against a tree and locks my throat in his hand. The air flies out of my lungs. "You must be ready to die, right?"
"Let me go!" I choke out. Frantically, I claw at his fingers to get him to release me.
"Well, for the punishment of you stealing a Career's supplies, I will kill you slowly and painfully. There's a special way that I want to kill you, though." He flashes a smile that reveals his perfectly white teeth, but there is something odd about his teeth. Four of his teeth are strangely sharper than the rest, and I instantly become frightened. They look like sharp knives poking out of his gums. "See the sharpest teeth, Foxface? These are very special teeth, and I think you know why."
"Please let me go." I whimper.
"Oh no, I will not let you go this time, my red-headed angel." He laughs. My legs start shaking, and I can feel my lips turning blue from the lack of air. My situation gets worse when the teeth pop out a millimeter. "See that, Foxface?"
"Please!" I scream. "Let me go! Don't waste your time on me. I promise I won't tell, just please let someone else, like Katniss or Peeta, kill me."
"No, I am going to kill you." Cato assures me. He kisses my cheek and leans close to my ear. "Did you know that I am a vampire?"
"A WHAT?!" I exclaim as he leans in to the point where his lips are touching the bottom of my incredibly long neck. I wish I could just disappear and run away from this, but this time, I wouldn't be fast enough. Cato would catch up to me. After all, vampires are the fastest creatures on the planet.
"Sweet dreams, my beautiful victim." He chuckles softly. Before I have any time to think about what he said, his razor-sharp teeth plunge into my neck. My life doesn't feel real anymore. Everything feels like a fading dream as the life is sucked right out of me. Blood swims out of my wound and into my arena uniform. Suddenly, my body feels cold as Cato retracts his teeth from my neck and gently lays me on the ground. My whole body feels numb. I hazily watch as Cato covers the bite wound with the collar of my jacket, pulls some berries called nightlock out of his bag, and drops them into my open hand. Then, he crushes one berry and smears the juice across my lips. My hazel eyes close, and consciousness slips away silently, like the rest of the world.
So what do you think? Was it good? Bad? Average? Tell me what you think please! I love hearing what your view of my stories are. :)
