Chapter 9: The Games Part III
As they are walking back to their camp Cato gets mad.
"Guys can you go ahead? I need to have a few words with Clove." He asks.
"Yeah sure." Glimmer says.
"Yepp." Marvel says.
Katniss walks to Cato.
"Be safe." She says as she hugs him.
"I will." He looks into her eyes.
Clove rolls her eyes and laughs rudely.
"What the hell is your problem, Clove?" Cato asks.
"What are you talking about?" She asks simply.
"What. Is. Your. Problem?" He says again, "Katniss didn't do anything and you threaten to kill her? That isn't the you I know. What the hell is with you?"
"That's what my problem was; she didn't do anything. She was supposed to kill those girls, but, oh, she just couldn't because of her little sis. She isn't tough enough to kill two little girls? If that's the case, she isn't tough enough to be a career, but you, you can't overlook that because you're too busy, feeling sorry for her, comforting her, falling in love with her. And that, that's not the you I know."
"What do you care how I think about Katniss anyway?"
"I don't." Clove looks away.
"Well obviously you do because we are having this conversation right now!"
"It's nothing forget I said anything." Clove starts to walk away, but Cato grabs her wrist and pulls her back.
"I'm not going to forget because you already brought it up, so by all means, continue."
"Let. Go. Of. Me." Clove says, "Or you'll regret it."
"What are you going to do? You wouldn't kill me; much less hurt me in anyway."
"What makes you so sure?" Clove reaches for her knife.
"I know you. You are vulnerable right now. You wouldn't hurt me; one because if you do everyone else will kill you, two because you're afraid of me, and three because you're in love with me." Cato says.
Clove gasps.
Cato opens his mouth to continue, but instead, a scream comes out. A loud blood- curdling scream.
Clove looks up at him.
Cato looks toward the camp thinking it was Katniss's scream.
"Katniss!" He yells and takes off running.
"Let her die." Clove mutters as she follows slowly.
When he reaches their camp he realizes that it was Glimmer's scream, not Katniss's.
"Dawn!" Glimmer rushes over to Dawn and kneels down next to him.
"What the hell happened?" Cato asks running over.
Dawn coughs a few times. Each time sounds worse than before and blood pours out of his mouth.
Katniss runs over and kneels next to him as well; she kneels in something that is think and red. Fearing the worst she pushes him onto his back. There is a long gash in his back.
What the hell did this, Katniss thinks.
She gets up and looks for his axe.
Gone, she thinks.
"What did that?" Glimmer asks in tears.
"An axe. His own actually. It's gone." Katniss says.
Glimmer cups Dawn's face in her hands.
"Dawn, please." She says. "Marvel, check in the bags, look for a gauze or, or something, please."
"Glimmer, he isn't going to survive a blow like that." Katniss says putting her hand on her shoulder.
"No!" she yells pushing her hand away, "He will, you will, Dawn, you're okay."
"Glimmer…" Cato says.
"Dawn, please, you can't die. This was never supposed to happen. I promised. I promised Mom. I would take care of you. You can't let me break it." She cries.
"I… I'm… so sorry… Glimmer…" Dawn gasps and stutters.
"No, no you can't die." Glimmer is bawling over him.
"I… I… love you… sis."
"I love you too, stay with me. Please, please stay."
One last breath escapes Dawn's parted lips, and Glimmer screams.
"Okay… what the hell was that all about?" Cato asks.
"Okay, good I'm not the only one who completely lost right now. Why are you so upset, it's just another tribute that died?" Marvel says.
"He's not just another tribute you heartless ass."
"Glimmer, who is he then?" Katniss asks.
"He's my brother."
