Here is Chapter 10! Honestly guys PLEASE keep reviewing. My last chapter, which I considered to be one of the best, barely got any reviews! Honestly I LOVE reading them so much, even if you're just a guest, drop in a review it means the world to me! Thanks :)

Katniss' POV

The death of Riley and our new alliance with Celina certainly kicks something new off in our little clique.

And when Finnick kisses me after treating my wounds, I know that it's something great.

After he pulls away, he looks scared as if expecting rejection.

"Don't crush me too hard," he whispers. "I'll bet the cameras on are us right now." I just smile, and kiss him again. I feel him smile.

"And that wasn't for the cameras," I say, smiling again. When Celina is done with Cole, we move on to find a place for the night. Aside from us and the Careers, Jackson is the only one left alive. I find myself hoping that the Careers get Jackson first.

When Cole and Celina insist that Finnick and I sleep first, I know they must have seen us together. I can tell from the cheeky looks on their faces. We all have some water and squirrel, and then I curl up with Finnick under the shelter. He's amazingly warm, and lying in his arms makes it the most comfortable night's sleep I've had in a while. Cole and Celina eventually wake us up so they can sleep. We sit together, Finnick wraps his arms around me and we spend the rest of the night warm in each other's grasp.

As dawn breaks, I decide I should hunt. I check Finnick will be alright by himself, and take my bow and arrow off into the undergrowth. As I search, peering through bushes and trees, I catch sight of something black on the floor about 100 feet away. I quickly hide myself behind a tree and load an arrow. I wonder what it is- a rabbit, maybe even a hare. I creep forward, inching closer and closer, always keeping myself behind a tree. I must be close enough now. I carefully peer around the tree, and let out a gasp.

Jackson is lying on the floor asleep.

I'm frozen for a moment, totally unaware of what to do. Then, as soundlessly as I approached, I slip back to camp.

I arrive to find Finnick and Cole gone.

"They saw the Careers a little over that way and decided to go after them," Celina says. She sees the look on my face. "Katniss, there's only 7 of us left. It's time to stop avoiding the others," she says dismally. I sit down next to her for a while, but I can't bear to sit still while the boys are in danger. I realise how much I care for Finnick. Celina is eager to go and find them too, I think she really likes Cole. We both grab weapons from the store and push our way through thick trees with Celina guiding the right way. I feel sick with suspense.

Suddenly, a blood curdling shout cuts through the air like a knife.

Finnick's POV

I look nervously at Katniss when I pull away, terrified of rejection, that she won't feel the same.

"Don't crush me too hard," I whisper. "I'll bet the cameras are on us right now." She smiles a beautiful smile and kisses me back.

"And that wasn't for the cameras," she says.

I'm deliriously happy for the rest of the day, and by night-time my mouth aches from smiling. I curl up with Katniss under the shelter and we sleep happily together in the warmth. When we're woken by Cole and Celina, we sit under the shelter, still wrapped warm in each other's arms.

In the morning, Katniss goes to hunt. She's not been gone long when Celina and Cole wake up.

"Morning lover boy," Cole says teasingly with a cheeky smile. I laugh.

"Morning." Suddenly, Cole's eyes focus on something behind me, and all the laughter is gone from his eyes. "Shh," he says quietly, and carefully gets to his feet. "Bravo and Anise are over there," he hisses. I look at him.

"Want to go after them?" I ask. Cole quickly agrees. We grab some weapons and water bottles, and set off stealthily through the trees. After a while we spot them a good way away from um. We draw our weapons, ready to charge. But then there's a terrified shout and we start running as an instinct. As we reach the Careers, I'm surprised to see three figures in the clearing. It takes me a second to realise that the third person is Katniss' district partner, Jackson. Bravo has his pinned to the ground and is drawing patterns on his face with a knife. Anise looks on, laughing, but as we crash towards them, her eyes glint with the prospect of fresh blood.

"Well, look who it is," Bravo drawls, unfazed by the thrashing Jackson under his hands. "Beauty and the Beast." I can't help but laugh at this ridiculous nickname for me and Cole.

"Something funny?" Anise asks, advancing threateningly towards us. "Let's see how funny you find this," she says, drawing a knife from her belt. Suddenly, two more people come bursting through the trees behind us, and Katniss and Celina blunder into the clearing. Anise throws her knife in a panic, and it hits nobody. Katniss fires an arrow like a true professional which lands dead between Anise's eyes. She staggers backwards, startled, looking like a deer caught in headlights. Then she drops to the ground and a cannon fires. Bravo looks a bit unsure of what to do for a second; still trying to come to terms with the last few second's events. But it doesn't last long.

"Well, won't the audience be enjoying this? All the remaining tributes in one place. Just think of your families, the entire of Panem, glued to their televisions, about to watch me be picked up as victor," he hisses gleefully. And with one fluid motion, he starts his attack. It's as if I'm in automatic mode, defending myself as I always have. At one point, Jackson attempts to get up and join the fight, but Bravo is totally undeterred and sticks a spear into his stomach. Knives, spears and arrows fly from my hands, with great support from the other three. At one point Bravo looks beaten, but then he picks something up from amidst the long grass and we all freeze.

He's holding a mace. I wonder where he got it from- I never saw any at the Cornucopia. Probably a very generous sponsor. He raises it above his head, and none of us have any time to react.

Celina never saw it coming.

He smacks her across the head with the horrible instrument. She's dead in seconds, her head blown to bits. I look away from the gruesome corpse as another cannon fires. In complete and utter frustration, Cole hurls an axe at him. It hits him the shoulder. Bravo has no choice but to run away, staggering with pain.

Cole drops to the floor beside Celina, and Katniss runs to Jackson. I'm left standing there, too shocked to know what to do.

Katniss' POV

We follow the scream to find Finnick and Cole opposing Bravo and Anise. I see Anise's terrified eyes land on me, and she hurls her knife into mid-air in desperation. I let my arrow string go, quickly ending her life. It's not good news for us though, as Bravo is angry now. We killed his one remaining ally, and he wants revenge. He quickly launches a manic attack on us. Just when we think we're winning, he suddenly picks up a mace from the ground, a huge, ugly, spiky thing. Before any of us can do anything, he swings it at Celina with a brute force that could probably only be matched by Cole. She's thrown to the ground, head hanging off her neck. I see the devastation on Cole's face, and he launches an axe into Bravo's shoulder. We see him run off into the trees.

And it's only then that I notice Jackson lying on the floor, a spear sticking out of his stomach. As Cole drops hopelessly to the ground beside Celina's lifeless body, I run to Jackson.

"Jackson," I whisper. As well as the spear wound he's been cut deep on his leg and has lost a lot of blood. His chest heaves as he struggles to draw breath.

"Hi Katniss," he says, smiling weakly.

"Who did this to you?" I ask in a small voice.

"Bravo." Then he laughs. "By the way, that's not what I said when he did this."

I laugh as well, just at the fact that Jackson is still cracking jokes as he's dying. A tear spills down my cheek.

"Hey, Finnick," he says in the loudest voice he has left. Finnick turns around, caught in a daydream, surprised Jackson knows his name.

"You take care of her, ok? She's an incredible girl." Jackson says.

"Don't worry, I will," Finnick says sincerely, smiling slightly.

Then Jackson turns to look at me again.

"Goodbye Katniss," Jackson whispers to me, sounding weaker than ever. "The girl on fire."

His eyes close, and I'm sure he's dead, but then his lips move ever so slightly to form quiet, strained words.

"Thank you for being here."

I sit beside him for a minute more and watch his breathing get slower and slower. Then his chest stops moving, and a cannon fires. Sobs begin to escape from my mouth. I plant a single kiss on his forehead, and stand up. I press the three middle fingers of my left hand to my lips, and put them in the air. This is a signal for goodbye in District 12. A symbol of respect. Finnick comes over to me, and carefully puts his arms around me. He pulls me close and kisses me.

We manage to coax Cole away from Celina, so we can go and find food. That night, Finnick and I stay awake first so Cole doesn't have to watch the sky. The Capitol seal appears and the anthem blares in the arena. Anise appears first. Then Celina, which saddens us both. When Jackson appears I start crying, and Finnick takes me in his arms, just like I did with him last night, and kisses the top of my head until I feel better. I start shivering, so he takes his shirt off and puts it on me, even though that must leave him freezing, just to keep me warm. When it's time to wake Cole, Finnick insists that I should sleep, so after giving him his shirt back I lie down under the cover and try to sleep. However I just can't drift off. I hear Cole talking to Finnick.

"So, you and Katniss huh?"

"Yeah," Finnick says with laughter in his voice. Happy laughter. I imagine that he's smiling that beautiful smile of his right now.

"Nice one man," Cole says, in a way that only a boy can. "She's a good one."

"Yeah, she's incredible," Finnick breathes. I smile to myself.

"But it's not exactly an ideal relationship," he begins. Cole must have indicated for him to carry on, because he says, "Well, in here. In the arena. There's only four of us left now, and there can only be one victor. What if, in the end, one of us has to kill the other?"

This, if I'm honest, is something that has plagued my nightmares since I first allied with Finnick. Even though back then we were only friends, the thought of watching him die, or me having to kill him, was unbearable.

"Well Finn, I'm going to tell you what I think." Cole says. "You saw what happened with me and Celina. I liked her, I really liked her. But I didn't make the most of it, and now she's gone. So, you two need to make the most of what little time you have left, and think about problems like that later."
