A/N: Yes, this sucks. But it's my first fanfic. And yes, I know that if you hit someone's temple they instantly die. Oh well. Enjoy…. And may the odds be ever in your favour ;)

PS. I'm completely unoriginal so I just used the actor/actresses' last names for the tributes' last names, except for Katniss and Peeta.

Chapter 1:

"CATO!" I screeched; my heart pounding at a mile a minute. The boy from 11 raised a rock above my head as he pinned me down. I knew there was no escape. "CATO!"

"You are so annoying." He smashed the rock against my temple. Trust me, I've been through pain in my life, but nothing compared to this. My head felt like it was (and probably was) split open. I could hear my stepmother's voice, reprimanding me, "Clove, you stupid girl. You were defeated by a rock, ha!" The hilt of the Cornucopia began dwindling away. Then it hit me (like a rock, haha): I was dying.

"Clove!" Great, now you show up, I thought bitterly. I gritted my teeth, and it was a wonder I was even still functioning enough to think. The muscular blond boy knelt by my side, and picked up my limp body. "Clove, don't leave me."

I spat blood out of my mouth. "Get…her…" That's all I could manage. The pain had mounted to an unbearable level. I could feel myself slipping away; Cato's voice getting fainter. Blackness overcame me, and I sent a mental farewell to my family in District 2, and a personal assassination from yours truly, Clove Fuhrman, to Katniss Everdeen.
