A/N: Eureka! I've found a computer! :D Now, here's the rest of your chapter. Special thanks to LeftyJessiee and S. EJ Tapson for helping me with Cato, Marvel, and Glimmer. And to GlimmerGreenEyes for constantly reviewing. Thanks love :) it means a lot to me.
Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome a video of the Careers destroying shit would be to "Not Afraid" by Eminem, complete with them walking in slow motion and explosions going off in the background? Pretty freaking awesome.
I found myself on top of a building, decked out in all black. I had a utility belt that was loaded with knives of different sizes and other sharp objects. It was night, so I could barely see in front of me. In the distance, I heard the faint sound of people cheering. Katniss! Ditching my teammates (if they were even here), I hopped from rooftop to rooftop, slowly descending, attracted to the voices like a moth was to light.
"Psst!" Glimmer materialized from the shadows. She was also wearing all black and equipped with a mace (which she was clutching in her hand) and bow and arrows. She pressed her finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet, and pointed up to a ledge. Guards paced back and forth, armed with weapons I'd never seen before. I pulled a knife from my belt, taking an aim, but Glimmer stopped me. She strung her bow with an arrow, and released. The arrow landed in the back of a guard's head, killing him. Before the other two could sound an alarm, she exterminated them as well. I complimented her aim, and she flashed me a dazzling smile.
"You'll blind me with that," I said jokingly. "Alright, my guess is that Little Miss Everdeen is where the cheering is. Do we have to team up with the boys?" She shrugged.
"Let's find them anyways," she suggested.
"That could slow us down. Let's go." I pulled her toward a window ledge, and began climbing up, Glimmer following close behind. When we reached the top, I scanned the horizon for lights or noises. But there was nothing, just thousands of rooftops that expanded for miles. "What? It was just here!" I exclaimed, outraged. Stupid Crane and his mind tricks, I thought.
Glimmer huffed. "He's doing it on purpose. And from here, we have the best vantage point." She scanned the area, then picked a direction and followed it. Reluctantly, I followed. Suddenly, the sound of yelling and gunfire came from the opposite way we were heading.
"That way, I guess." We sprinted towards the scuffle, and found Marvel and Cato held at gunpoint by three guards. I ducked down, and brought Glimmer with me. We peeked over the edge of the roof.
"We have to help them!" whispered Glimmer. I waved my hand in acknowledgement. There were more important things on my mind than rescuing her playthings. For instance, the location of my target, Katniss. She got away from me before; she won't get away a second time. Glimmer reminded me of the captives by stringing her bow, aiming at the guards and determining the best way to kill them without being noticed.
"Kill the one on the far right," I said sternly. "I'll jump down and get the other two." She nodded, and released the arrow. I jumped down, landing on top of one of the other men, breaking his neck, and then slitting the last guy's throat with my knife.
"Looks like you need some help," said Glimmer, placing a hand on her hip.
Cato grinned. "Maybe we do."
