A wisp of red hair flounces as Finch (Foxface) runs out from the Cornucopia. She swiftly grabs her bag, but still is careful to not disturb any other district bags. Smart strategy. District 2 would commend me for that but I don't have the wits.
"Psycho girl time," I mutter. That's the mode my father created for me. The psychotic murderous girl with the knives. The girl that everyone is terrified of. That's my shell, masking my true self, bottled down deep inside of me. I am a sensitive girl who hates to murder. My father couldn't care less. As soon as I was born, he took me and left my mother. He just wanted me to win The Hunger Games one day. Fame, glory and power are the 3 staples in his life. Not mine. Mine are love, kidness, and compassion. In my "normal girl" mode. In my psycho girl mode, they are: Violence, Blood and Murder.
Katniss Everdeen dashes toward the Cornucopia and I am ready to pounce. She shoots an arrow into my shoulder. I flinch, but withstand the pain. Tackling her to the ground, I pull out a serrated knife and slash her across the forehead.
"ERGGHHH!" she grunts as dark red blood trickles down her forehead. In a downward motion. She flips me over and then the real fight begins. We scratch, claw and pull at each others hair. It's just like a rerun of "Panem Shore". Eventually, I pin her to the ground and begin to make nasty cracks at her.
"Where's Lover Boy to save you now? How about a kiss for him?" I say maliciously. She spits in my face. I flush red with anger and scream at her more.
"How shall I kill you… well since you wont use your lips for Lover Boy anymore... let's start with them." I take a dainty curved knife and place it on her lips, outlining them with the knife.
"And one last torment: What about District 11? Was her name Rue? We are gonna kill you just like we killed her. You don't stand a chance!" I lash out at her.
Beginning to dig the tip of the blade into the center of Katniss's lower lip, a shadow suddenly looms over me. A thick hand lifts me up off of Katniss before I can do any major damage. The shadow is Thresh. Oh no.
"You kill her. The girl from my District?" he screams in a deep surly voice directly in my face. Even his breath seems ominous to me.
"NO! NO! IT WASN'T ME! CATO!" I screech helplessly. I fidget in Thresh's tight grasp, trying to free myself. But that's when I notice the rock in his hand. Coming down straight towards my head. I feel the impact and my whole head shifts. I begin to feel dizzy. I have lost sense of the world around me and my head is spinning. I feel multiple more strikes before I have lost my vision completely.
I lay there, breathing slowly, on the verge of dying. I muster up my last bit of energy and say the words I have been longing to say ever since I was 8.
"Cato, I love you," I whisper hoarsely. The words linger in my ears as I leave this horrible Earth, never to return again.
