Khloi's POV
Me and Orion were still by the Cornucopia, it had been a hour or so and it was quiet. Too quiet.
"I'm sorry about ... earlier" mumbled Orion, interrupting the silence,
"It's fine"
"You know we can't really work together anymore? Well, we can't, one of us has to die"
There had been an announcement about my district change confusion. I was district 12 now. Not 10, which was messed up.
"I know" I whispered.
I turned to look at him, "Maybe we should go separate ways in the morning, and no ties?"
We could spend the rest of the day together that way.
"Good idea"
We shook on it.
The Hunger Games. Confusing business, you had to really have your head here, otherwise everything falls apart.
I stood up to collect a few supplies that had been scattered around the Cornucopia and Orion stood up, for what I guessed, was the sake of it.
All of a sudden a whole flock of birds emerged from the forest, squawking and flapping their wings hard, me and Orion both turned to face it, a whole group of about six people appeared, waving and throwing weapons, and making the worst noise imaginable. All the other tributes now knew we were here.
I caught a glimpse of a small girl. Prim.
The group had seen us and was bringing the fight closer to us, I raised my bow and arrow and two fell to the floor. Not quite dead but they soon would be.
Orion was fighting one of the remaining ones and the blonde teenager who Prim was by was looking at me.
This was Kian Wellthorne then. I only knew because, well, what other kind of person would let a small, vulnerable, girl just hang out by their side when they're declaring war with everything that moved?
Two cannons.
I saw Kian's hand travel down to his weapon belt, and pull out a hammer like item.
I stood frozen. It was like the whole world went into slow motion. Orion and the two people he was fighting had stopped and slowly turned, Prim who had been watching them now realised that something was wrong and turned to face me.
His arm rose, then fell. But when it fell, the hammer like item wasn't in it. It was in the air. Coming towards me.
"No!" I heard Prim scream.
I tried to turn and block it but it still reached its target.
I fell to the wet, damp floor, my head a mess of thoughts.
The first few drops of rain began to fall on my face.
I'd always loved rain.
Three cannons.
I wished they'd stop. It hurt. Didn't they realise how much it hurt?
I couldn't tell what anything was anymore.
What was the plan about Prim?
Who was Prim?
Why was Prim relevant?
Why was the name Peeta coming to my head continuously?
I screamed in frustration and soothing hands came to me.
"Khloi, it's Prim, I'm here" It was Prim. Prim. Prim!
"But Orions ... gone" It was Prims voice again.
"It's just me and this other girl, she saved me Khloi, she did, her name is Marie, she'll help us, you need to get better Khloi, I need you"
Who was Marie?
My eyes were still closed but I could hear the thickness of Prim's voice and wouldn't be surprised if half of the raindrops turned out to be her tears.
Arms began to move me and I heard Prim say one last thing, so quietly that I didn't know whether I was supposed to hear it.
"We always loved you"
