I can't believe I've made it this far, Victory was so close, but I didn't want it, there was no way I was going to kill someone over money and fame. I didn't want money. I would just sit around with my wealth all day. It wasn't worth it, the scars, the nightmares, I had seen the aftermath of the games, I didn't want that.
Cato, Clove, Thresh, Katniss and Peeta were the only ones left. None of them were going down without a fight, and they weren't going to take each other as I had hoped, Especially with the rule change. Katniss and Peeta were going to fight to keep each other safe; I wanted them to win anyway, Peeta had been truthful in his admittance about loving Katniss. Katniss, had been mad, but she'd learn to love him, how could you not?
Even Cato and Clove, would fight for each other. As soon as the announcement was made, Clove was ecstatic. Apparently, she and Cato were good friends, not a couple, more like brother and sister. Even Cato was smiling, I almost think it meant as much to them as it must've to Katniss and Peeta. He promised they would win; it was actually a sweet moment.
And I wouldn't mind if Thresh won, he would be alone but he deserved a better life. He would have earned it.
They announced there was going to be a feast. I didn't really want to go but I needed water, I didn't want to win but I didn't want to dehydrate, it was a slow and painful process. At the feast, no one noticed me until I was gone, and I liked it that way.
I stayed and watched as Katniss came barreling out of the woods Clove quickly gaining on her. Cato and Clove had had an argument over who was going after Katniss at the feast; I had learned a lot living off their supplies; Clove had won her way, Cato deciding it'd be best to stay back and watch for Thresh and Peeta. Clove had Katniss, but then Thresh came and smashed her head. The sad part being she really didn't kill Rue Marvel did.
Cato heard her cries too late. He saw only Thresh bash her head. I realized how well they knew each other after her death. He had an opportunity to kill Katniss, but instead he sat and cried over Clove and went to find revenge on Thresh. I watched the beginning of their fight, before I decided I needed to find a quick painless way to go. I wasn't going to win, there was no way, I didn't want to, didn't need to. Katniss needed to, for her little sister, Prim I think was her name. And for Peeta.
I remembered seeing a nightlock bush near the cave Katniss and Peeta had been staying so I headed in that direction. Eventually I eyed in on the bush, I knew it was nightlock, it was the right color, right shape, I knew my plants, that's how I got my five in training, plant identification.
Peeta was collecting the berries, which meant I had to think fast.
'To eat or not to eat?'
'To try and be victor or die painlessly?' I decided the later was my better option. I didn't want to win, defiantly not as much as the others. Peeta had run off to show Katniss the berries he'd found. So I made my move.
I grabbed several berries, took a deep breath and put a few in my mouth; they tasted sweet, too sweet. I felt dizzy, as was expected with nightlock poisoning. I heard my canon fire then I fell to the ground.
I knew Katniss or Peeta would come, and soon they'd know they were poisonous berries, I still had a couple in my hand.
Sure enough they cam, full of sympathy for the poor girl who 'didn't know.'
But what they didn't know was that, I knew, I had always known.
So, that's that, did you like it? Hate it? Review and tell me!
This is kind of turning into a series, I have a one shot of Clove that kind of follows the same path, a fact that Katniss never knew about them, an event she assumed was for a certain reason but really was another…
So should I make it like a story, a bunch of one shots, or am I being stupid and blabbing about crazy things!
