I dont own any tributes or any other part of the Hunger Games. All credit goes to Suzanne Collins. Song Lyrics belong to The Band Perry
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
I feel myself being lifted high into the air. Turning around, I see those dark eyes of the boy from 11 looking back at me
"What'd you do to that little girl? You kill her?
I can feel myself start to sweat. I realize for the first time in a long time that I'm scared. I can't even get words out of my mouth.
"No! No. I-"
I can't speak as I see him lift up the sharp hard-edged rock in his hand. I know this is the end of me; no one could save me now. I figured I should at least try to save myself and call out the one person that would try to help me.
"Cato! Cato!"
As I hear him calling back to me, the faintness in his voice alerts me to what I had feared. He's to far away to save me. I'm a goner. I will become what so many children have become.
Then I feel the sharp pain come over me and the world becomes to blur. I barley hear 12 and 11 having a conversation before they both run off. 11 has both his and the bag I was supposed to retrieve with him. I can feel the tears going down my face, as I know I will die alone.
"Clove" I hear him say breathlessly and it makes me feel a little better to know that he ran all the way for me. He stares at me with a tear coming down his face. We had seen each other all our lives in the training center back in 2, but only seeing each other as competition to achieve our ultimate goals of becoming a victor. But as we entered the games together, we fell more and more in love with each other. We both tried to hide it. We are from district 2, we don't show emotion. Emotion is equal to weakness. We kept trying to hide it, but after the announcement that two tributes could win we didn't need to hide anymore. We thought we could win together. I will miss him a lot
"Stay with me, I cant do this with out you" His few tears have become a sea on his face now. I feel sadness knowing that he is showing this weakness when sponsors are watching at every moment. I know that I don't have a lot of time, as things are getting darker and quieter as the moments continue passing on.
"Stop Cato, Win for us."
He looks up and stares.
" I will, I won't let you leave me for nothing. I'll kill him if it's the last thing I do.
I feel everything spinning faster and faster, so I look up to him and say my last words.
"I love you Cato"
"I love you more and I will win this for you"
As the world slowly fades I think that that's as close to a love song as I will ever get
