"Cato!" Clove screams at the top of her lungs as Thresh clutched her shirt and shoved her against the Cornucopia.
"You said her name!" Thresh yelled in her face.
"Cato!" She's terrified now. She doesn't know what to do; he had a strong grip on her. She wanted to tell him that she didn't actually kill Rue, but all she managed to say was his name.
Thresh believed that Clove killed sweet little Rue. He was seeing red, he shoved her over and over again before he threw her to the ground like she was nothing.
Clove was dead.
Katniss just stared at the scene before her wide-eyed while Thresh glanced at her like he just remembered she was there.
"Just this time, twelve." He pointed a finger at her. "For Rue."
And he was off. Katniss ran too, she needed to get to Peeta.
Cato heard his name being yelled twice and he surely recognized the owner of the voice. He ran as fast as his legs would carry him towards the sound.
"Clove!" He yelled, hoping she heard him. You could hear the pain evident on his voice. His heart beating erratically because of his running so fast and because of the thought that Clove could very well be in trouble. But he didn't pay any attention to his beating heart, his aching legs and his heavy breathing, all he cared about was to get to Clove.
Once he arrived at the Cornucopia, he saw Clove's lifeless body and ran towards it. He quickly dropped to his knees and his spear to the ground. With shaking hands, he took her hand that no longer held the warmth she had before.
"Clove, stay with me." He cried and pleaded, even though he clearly knows she's dead. But he didn't care, he just wanted her to squeeze his hand back and tell him she's alright.
He looked at her beautiful but pale face. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly opened.
"Please…"
In a moment, he will realize it's futile; she can't be saved. And when he does, he will avenge her.
