Katniss sprinted through the woods. The trees blurred around her. Her leg throbbed with pain where the fire burned her. Katniss had to get

the bow. She was unarmed. Glimmer had the bow and there had to be a way to get it back. Katniss heard a noise behind her. She whirled

around to see if there was any fire, and ran into something hard and warm. She fell to the ground. The mass was too soft and short to be a

tree. She felt a heavy object press against her chest. The world spun around her. When she could see straight, she glanced up at the figure.

Cato stood, unaffected and armed with a knife as long as Katniss' thigh. He had his foot pressed to Katniss' chest, making breaths escape

her.

"What do you want, Cato?" Katniss spat. He grinned. It was a mischievous smile that scared her in a way. Two other careers came out

through the trees. Clove and Marvel, who each held a pile of rope and a knife.

"I want you." Cato sneered. Katniss writhed under the weight of his foot, but it was no use. He pressed her harder. Katniss gave an

exasperated gasp, her lungs desperate for air. Marvel grabbed Katniss' left wrist and began wrapping it in hordes of rope. Cato stepped off of

Katniss. For a miraculous moment, Katniss filled her lungs, but Cato moved his hands to her throat, squeezing tight. Katniss gritted her teeth.

After a few minutes of struggling with rope and knots, Katniss' hands were unfortunately bound securely behind her back. Cato's hands were

still pressed at Katniss' neck. Red and yellow spots danced before her eyes. Finally Cato loosed his hands, but he and Marvel shifted to hold

her shoulders. Clove stood before Katniss on the ground and pulled out a knife.

"Clove..." Cato started.

"Please, just one cut?" Clove pleaded. Cato sighed.

"Fine. Just one cut, but make it a good one." Clove walked around Katniss, inspecting her like she was for sale. She kneeled down next to

Katniss' leg and slowly pulled the frayed fabric away from the burn. The sudden movement made Katniss flinch in pain. Clove ran the sharp

knife around the burn and then sunk the knife in. Katniss screamed but it came out more like a high-pitched rasp. The pain was like nothing

she had ever felt. The whole world was washed in yellow except for the dark red that flooded her leg. Darkness swept over her. She felt the

grip on her shoulders tighten, and then nothing. Nothing at all.

_Oooooooh! Suspenseful! I 'll update soon.
