I look at the faces around me through the fire. The only one that had actually wanted to sit next to me was Wylde, the others were probably thinking of all the ways to kill me.

We had been in the Games for nearly six hours and it was dark. 11 tributes had fallen today. Two of them were because of me. Deep in the pit of my stomach, I feel terrible, but I know to not show it on the outside.

I hear twigs and sticks snapping and I look to my left. Apparently, I was the only one that noticed, but of course I would be. Glimmer and Cato were all over each other and Marvel was pouting in the corner. Wylde was just sitting next to me, not doing anything except stare into the fire.

I look again at the spot that had made a snapping sound. I definitely wasn't hearing things, but I have a choice to make. Tell the others about the person who was stupid enough to walk close to Career camp or let them get away. I look at my necklace and I knew my mom wouldn't want me too. I let this person slip away unnoticed, that is until they start a fire.

Cato's head snaps up and he grabs his sword, sprinting ahead. I roll my eyes and grab my knives and follow, bringing up the rear, Wylde at my side. We follow Cato until we get to the fire. He looks at me and says, "All yours." He was gesturing to the girl sitting at the fire, oblivious we were here.

I swallow the lump in my throat and curse Cato. He knew that I hate killing people. He was already trying to bring me down.

I look back at him as I walk up to the girl, knife in hand. He smirks and crosses his arms, waiting. Everyone was.

I kneel once I get closer to her and she turns her head at the last second and scratches me with something, leaving a huge gash in my cheek. I yelp in pain and fall back, Cato rushing forward. At first, I thought he was going to kill me with the sword, until he gets to the girl and stabs her in the chest.

I cover my mouth and feel my eyes starting to water at the girl convulsing and bleeding on the ground. Then I hear something in the trees. I look up and see a shape in the trees, tethered to the tree.

I look closer and notice that it's Katniss. I smirk and think of the satisfaction I would get if I kill her. Then I realize, what the hell? Why do I want to kill people now? I look down at my knife then at her. I look back at the Careers, who are looking somewhere else.

I bring my attention back at Katniss and decide to not kill her. Not because I lie her, but because I know my mother would be disappointed in me.

Then I hear Cato talking and I look back at them, getting up and walking over to them. Cato was talking to someone in the shadows. I look over his shoulder and try to see who he was talking to. I spot blonde hair and know that it's Peeta. Why was Cato talking to him?

I take another step forward so I can hear them and I hear Cato say, "You sure she went this way?" Who did he mean?

"Yeah, that way," I see Peeta's hand point over my shoulder. I turn around and look so I don't look like a creeper, watching over Cato's shoulder.

I look back and Cato is talking to Peeta again. "Alright, we'll go back to the camp for tonight, who knows what the Gamemakers have prowling around," Cato says.

I am still confused on the whole thing with Peeta, so I whisper in Wylde's ear, "Do you know what's going on?"

He looks at me like I'm crazy, which might be true. Then he says, "You don't know that Cato invited Peeta to be in the Careers with us?" I shake my head and he continues, "Didn't you see his interview with Caesar?" I shake my head again, waiting patiently for him to explain. "Yeah, he and that girl from 12 are "star crossed lovers"," he says, using air quotes around star crossed lovers.

I process that and nod. "But why does Cato want him to be with us?" I say, looking at Peeta.

"He thinks that Lover Boy can lead us to Katniss," Marvel calls over his shoulder. I blush. Were we talking that loud? Then I think of what he said about Lover Boy, what kind of name was that?

I look at Peeta and wonder why he'd want to reveal where his star crossed lover was. Then Wylde looks at me and asks, "Did you see her?"

I nod and he does too, then he smiles. "They're so stupid." I panic, thinking that they'd hear Wylde's remark about calling them stupid, but after a moment, I realize they didn't hear.

We get back at camp and Cato starts to say who sleeps where. Our fire is still going and he declares the spot by the fire. I smirk. Maybe he'll burn himself. Then he points over by the trees and orders Lover Boy and me to keep watch. I feel dread building up at being the first watch.

I walk over to the tree and sit down, my knives all organized in a neat row next to me. Then Peeta sits next to me, not all too gracefully. I look at him and can't but feel a little sympathy. His face is strained and he looks scared. A little pathetic, but it reminds me of what the Hunger Games are all about: not necessarily to keep the Districts in line, but more of a way of entertainment. I feel sick about entertaining those people, by killing other kids.

I take a deep breath and smile at him. He returns it and his warm eyes flash at me. I try to think of something to say, but he does it for me. "So, we survived the first night of the Hunger Games," he says.

"Yeah," I say back, not really knowing what else to say. He notices my one word sentence and decides to not continue the conversation, but then I say, "How could you?"

"What do you mean?" He says defensively.

"Leading him to Katniss. Peeta, he'll kill her," I say, looking at Cato on the word "him".

He smiles and says, "And notice how I'm leading them in the wrong direction." I had never thought of it that way. He was trying to keep her safe. I suddenly feel a great respect for this Lover Boy. He was risking his life for Katniss.
