A/N This story got re-ordered post writing, so the reviews on each chapter are seriously messed up! Ah well.
"We should go after that firebitch first" Cato says, stoking the fire in front of him "She's the one that killed off Glimmer and Loofa, and so she's the most dangerous. She got an 11, remember?"
I roll my eyes. Every evening is the same, we argue over who we'll kill next, and then we don't kill anyone. Well, we got the boy from District 10 today, after chasing him for ages. Now we have to choose who to go after next, and Cato's certainly made his mind up.
"I still think hulk should go" Clove adds. She's probably remembering how big he is.
"I agree, Thresh should be dealt with first" I say "Firebitch isn't that big, and I could get her with my spear, easy. Let's deal with the threats first"
"Easy for you to say" Cato grumbled, rubbing his belly "She blew up our supplies, remember?"
"We still don't know it was her!" I say, raising my voice slightly "It could have been the red-head, or the ones from the farming District. Hell, it could have been a delay trap from Techno guy!"
"It. WAS. HER!" He yells "That's how she got her 11! She must have triggered them all, and now we have nothingto eat! She did it!"
Clove rolls her eyes, and wisely decides to keep out of this argument. Arguments in the games lead to deaths so easily. She wanders off towards the small food supply we have left and seems to look for a bag of nuts or something.
"And howdid she do it?" I ask, standing up "How was she supposed to set off a mine without blowing into a million different pieces?"
"I don't know!" Cato shouts, standing up as well, fists clenched "But it was her!"
We stare at each other, and I can practically see steam coming out his ears.
'Come on…' I think 'Let's get it over with, a fight to end all fights. We got some of the highest scores, and I'm sure the Capitol's been waiting for this for ages'
It's true, we've been arguing more and more each passing day. The lack of food isn't helping, and I don't think moving base did either. We moved further into the forest, away from the fields Thresh has, probably filled with dangers I can't imagine. The cornucopia seemed to offer safety to us, and though I wouldn't admit it to anyone, I feel exposed an insecure in this clearing.
"FINE THEN!" Cato yells, as Clove arrives back, looking wary. "LEAVE, I'M BREAKING UP THIS PACK! GO PISS OFF SOMEWHERE AND DIE IN A HOLE!"
"I'LL DO THAT!" I yell back, grabbing my pack and my spears, turning towards Clove who looks more than slightly smug. She's probably the cleverest, maybe she planned this. "Staying Clove?" I hiss as I back into the forest "So you can be Cato's bitch"
She hisses in anger as I sprint into the trees, listening to the whistle of a knife fly by.
The Career pack has split.
