Chapter 10

Because of Zach' carelessness, we have to gather our own food that morning. There's no many things can be collected and we don't want to take any risk by going deeper in the woods, because it can be a good place for the remaining tributes to hide and attacked us.

I killed a fat rabbit after my knife stuck on its heart. Cato collects some berries near the lake and killed a wild turkey that passing by. We split our food, cooking the rabbit and turkey, and we agreed to keep the turkey for tomorrow and eat the berries for dinner. We make our camp under a big tree with thick leaves near the lake.

Nobody dies that day. Maybe the tributes are more careful right now. I go to the lake to filling up some bottles that I found in our supplies' ruin. When I'm back, Cato is preparing our dinner, he opens a bag of berries and pour it out in a clean leaf. He took a handful of berries and crush it, red juice comes out from its dark purple skin. I think I've saw that berries before in our surviving class. A deadly berry called Nightlock.

"Cato, no!" I slapped Cato's hand that became red with berry juice. I wash his hand with a bottle of water.

"Why?" he asked, then wiped his hands on his jacket.

"That's nightlock! You'll die in a minute!" my voice sounded so little, I turn around and wipe my tears with the sleeve of my jacket, which is has smelled strangely. The smell of blood, sweat, and mud.

"I'm sorry, Clove." Cato grabs my shoulders and trying to calm me down. I sniffed, "I don't want you die. We have to going home together."

"We will going home, Clove. I promise."

"Attention tributes, attention." Claudius' voice echoing through the crickets and owls, "There will be a feast tomorrow morning in Cornucopia. Each of you need something desperately."

Cato and I stared each other. Yes, we need something, we need food. Our supplies had exploded and none of us know how to hunt animals. That rabbit and turkey are only unlucky animals who met us.

"You hide and I'll take the food." Cato said.

I shake my head, "I won't. Katniss is going to come tomorrow. Peeta is limped and I think they won't take any risk by send him. You will hide and protect me. I will take our food and kill Katniss."

Cato did not argue anymore. He must know I've been waiting for this moment, for dealing with Katniss once again, stick the knife into her heart and see Peeta dies because of a broken heart. He must have loved her so much that betrayed us, whowould gave him a chance to live longer and without disabilities if he did not do it.

We decided to rest a while to gain some powers for fighting tomorrow. I sleep in Cato's arm and share our body heat to keep us warm. Our sleeping bag has burned with our supplies. I ask him to wake me up an hour later so I can stay on guard.

"Wake up, Clove. It's feats time." Cato hissed and shook my body gently. I see red lines in his eyes, he definitely did not sleep last night.

"You should wake me up, Cato!" I'm angry because he makes me look so weak. Maybe he thought that I can protect him, I just a weak little girl.

"You slept so peacefully and you're not well enough. You need more rest."

"I'm not…" Cato places his finger on my lips. He points to a small table that raising in front of Cornucopia. There are four bags in different sizes and different district numbers. Ours is the biggest, and I imagine lots of food inside it and my stomach starts growling.

"Here, eat this." Cato hands me a big piece of grilled turkey. I eat my breakfast while looking around watchfully and waiting for whoever comes first to take the bag. We're trying to be as quite as possible. However, Cato's heavy feet always making a noisy sound even he's just stepping on the dry leaves.

That girl is coming from nowhere, running very fast and grab a bag with the number 5 on it, and disappear into the thick woods. A sleek faced girl with red hair. She'd amaze me with her running speed, and clever enough to take the first opportunity.

Not long after that, I saw a moving bush in front of Cornucopia, and a girl with bow runs toward a small bag with number 12. I run toward her with knife in hand. I can catch her wide step. I'm very close to her right now and she didn't realize that. When her hand is stretched out to her bag, I throw my knife to her head. I know that I didn't miss when I saw her fell backward. I run to her and pinned her down, then place my knife on her throat.

"Where's your Lover Boy?" she is taller and bigger than me, but she's so powerless after I lock her hands and legs.

"Oh, I see. You're trying to help him right? That's so sweet."

Katniss tries to escape, but she's only can growling at me. I really enjoy this, teasing her before taking her life out.

"So bad you couldn't help your little friend. What was her name? Rue?" Katniss eyes are wide open, and her legs are trying to kick me, "Marvel killed her, right?" even I'm not sure that Marvel did, but I'm sure it was not Katniss, Peeta, or Thresh. Cato and I were at Cornucopia that time. Katniss breathing faster and I can see anger in her face, confirmed the correctness of my theory.

"And now, it's time to kill you." I lift my knife. I saw horror on her face. Then everything happened so fast, I was lifted into the air and Katniss' face turns into Thresh' fierce face. He looked at me deeply, anger on his face and I feel his heavy breath on my face. I'm flying about two inches above the ground, in Thresh large hand grip that held me against Cornucopia's wall.

"So you killed her!"

I'm panicking. It's all out of my expectations. We didn't thinking about Thresh, and now it's me who facing my death.

"No! I didn't…" my voice is choked between Thresh big fingers that pressing my neck harder.

"I heard you! You said her name! Rue!"

"Cato!" I'm screaming out loud, I feel the oxygen has gone from my lungs. From the corner of my eye I saw Katniss running with her bag, once again I lost my chance.

"Cato!" I scream louder. There's no sign that Cato will come to save me.

"Call him! And I'll kill you both!"

I felt hard metal hit my head hardly. My vision become blurry and I feel my head start spinning. Cato won't come. He never wants I won, he never cares about me. Everything he'd said, that kiss in the balcony, they are only his weapons to weaken me. I shouldn't trust him, I should not trust anyone.

I could feel Thresh swinging my body forward. He's going to hit my head again. My life is over. I closed my eyes to receive a great pain that will drive me to death.

Sword cutting sound, and Thresh' hand grip in my neck getting loosen. I slammed into the ground, gasping for air. I looked at the blurry blue sky and I heard something thud on the ground. The cannon booms, but I'm not die yet, it wasn't for me.

"C-C-Clove! Clove!" I heard Cato's deep voice. He's coming. He's coming to kill me.

"Stay with me, Clove!" I heard his voice getting throaty.

"Clove! Clove!" Cato's screams echoing through my ears before everything went dark and silent.
