Ever wondered what really happened in the cornfield?

I raced after Thresh, my sword swinging from my belt ready to use. He had killed my district partner, my ally, my chance of fame and success. I spotted him disappearing into the thick yellow corn field; I stopped running and crouched down stalking him like the prey he was. In an instant, my whole perspective changed. It turned into a kiss chase from when I was a kid in school. His expression as he ran away, terrified, reminded me of the girls I caught at school. I wanted to catch him-no, I NEEDED to catch him. Thresh leaped through the long stalks of corn, me hot on his heels, laughing with glee. This threw him off, and Thresh tripped over a small rock and fell face first onto the ground, I pounced on him, pinning him beneath me. I could feel his strong muscles tensing, trying to escape. He squirmed under my grasp but I knew he wasn't trying as hard as he could. He wanted this just as much as me. I stared deep into his dark brown eyes and pressed my lips against his. After 10 long seconds of shock, Thresh started to kiss me back. When he felt my grip on him loosen, he rolled me over, his grip firm and my battle instincts kicked in. I grabbed my sword and thrust it straight into his gut without even thinking.

I stayed with him that night, regretting with everything in my body what I had done. I loved this boy and now he was dying because of me. When his groans of pain came to much to handle, that's when the kissing started. I bent down and kissed him one last time with as much passion as I was able. Then I watched the life drain away from my lover…
