I don't own the Hunger Games xx Disclaimer
I think for a moment my heart stopped, it went from pounding like a drum to dead silent, as I inhaled my situation. I couldn't make my legs move, Cato was already of his Podium running towards the cornucopia, Peeta not far behind him…Peeta! That was the thought that got my legs moving.
I leapt from my podium stumbling slightly in the overgrown grass, I pushed my legs as fast as they would go, I needed to get to him, before he got to Cato.
"Peeta! Stop" He payed no attention to my screaming! I had to keep running, I was nearly there now.
Cato had already picked up the sword and Peeta had the spear, they were circling each other viciously. Paying no attention to me I Picked up the bow and arrows as well as the large pack, if I wanted to run now was my chance; I had survived in these games by myself before.
I loaded my bow and watched them for a minute whilst I decided what I was going to do; they were paying no attention to me at all. I finally made my mind up when Peeta's eyes caught mine, they were different. The caring eyes always so filled with love and concern were now masked with a look of Craze and terror. It frightened me!
Cato also looked at me; by judging his expression he saw the change in Peeta as well! Confused and frightened I stumbled backwards and ran in the direction of the woods, I had come to know.
I wasn't sure what was happening behind me, I just kept running, if I kept myself preoccupied with getting away from there I wouldn't have time to think about what was really going on! It would keep my mind of Peeta!
I ran fro hours, until finally my fatigue began to settle in. I knew my way around and found myself at a small pond near where I set the tracker jackers on the Careers. I looked through my large pack. The contents were;
A sleeping bag
Dried fruit
2 empty water bottles
Iodine
Rope
A smaller waist bag
A knife
Plastic sheeting
Beef strips.
A flint
The contents of the pack would keep me going for a while, but I decided to only use the food in case of an emergency. I needed to hunt. My mind was beginning to sway towards Peeta and Cato, I hadn't heard a Cannon so I assumed they were both still fighting or had gone their separate ways. Even though I wasn't sure what I had seen in Peeta I hoped he was alright.
I examined my sturdy bow and 15 arrows and then decided it was time for me to hunt. I kept my large pack with me, not wanting to leave any trail behind and walked about a kilometre from where I decided would be my camp. I found a large flock of wild groosling and managed to shoot 2 down, before returning to my pond to fill up my water and clean my arrows..
I made a fire using my flint and some dry leaves and branches under the canopy of a tree, it wasn't very dark yet and the foliage would mask most of the smoke caused from cooking my meal. I cooked one Groosling and wrapped the other in my plastic sheeting and then climbed a tree for the night. I strapped myself in and munched on a groosling leg whilst the sun set in the arena.
I didn't even realise I had dozed of when I was woken by the sound of the Panem Anthem; I woke abruptly, nearly flipping out of the tree, thank god for the rope. After the Anthem the seal of Panem flashed across the sky, No deaths in the arena today. Peeta was safe, so with that thought in my mind I let myself drift back of to sleep.
"Oi, Katniss!" It was still dark when I was woken up again. "Katniss, psst" crap I had been found, I couldn't make out who's voice it was. I rolled over slightly and peered down the tree. It was Cato.
"Can you come down, I need to talk to you!" he yelled out sternly, I wasn't sure what to do.
"Maybe you should come up!" I called back down.
"Can we not do this Katniss! I'm being serious" His voice changed, it became softer.
I decided to climb down. So I packed all my things up ready to run if necessary.
Once I hit the ground I distanced myself from Cato by about 2 metres.
"What do you want Cato, another shot at me?" I said aggressively.
"No, I needed to talk to you" He was defensive, and just then I noticed the red piece of clothing around his bicep.
"Injured I see, Peeta did his job" I smile wickedly, probably not my best decision it was Cato after all….oh well.
"Peeta didn't do anything" He retorted! "I mean it was him, but it wasn't!"
"That doesn't make sense Cato" I stepped back at his tone. "Gah I don't need to be explaining things to you, so please try and Be grateful! God" I ran his hand through is hair tensely. I looked down.
"Ok," I said apologetically. "Um well, Peeta Never really seemed so Violent before I guess, I wasn't expecting it." He started unsure how to word things I could tell. " The look in his eye was crazy! Katniss, stop me if I'm wrong but he never seemed the type of kid to get so bloodthirsty" He looked down. "I freaked out a little, the look in his eyes reminded me of the look in the Mutts eyes."
It took a minute for everything to sink in, I understood what Cato was Suggesting. He believed that the Capitol had done something to Peeta. Maybe it wasn't even Peeta, maybe the real him was lying in a ditch somewhere. I must have been gazing of.
"Katniss, do you understand what I'm saying" He stepped closer. "Yes" was all I managed to say.
We stood there for a minute or two I wasn't really sure. "Umm Cato why are you telling me this?" I tucked my hands in my pockets. "Well they said there could be two victors from different district, and you have Prim and everything at home…..so Yeh" He tucked his hands in his pockets as well and kicked the dirt. He was implying that he would let me go home if it was down to us. He was implying that he would kill Peeta again….. which I wasn't to sure how I felt about ….if Peeta wasn't really Peeta.
"Oh ok" I kept my gaze down. Cato straightened up realising how vulnerable he looked. "Ok right well then we should go and find Peeta" God he was implying things would happen quickly.
I wasn't sure how I felt. What if Peeta was still the same to me, what if he was just thirsty on revenge against Cato? That was another possibility, but then why didn't he talk to me at the cornucopia, run to me like I know the real Peeta would have. The only thing that was clear to me at the moment was that there was a change in Cato, a new attitude I was willing to, as stupid as the decision was too accept.
