KATNISS' POV :
When I woke up, I heard a scream. Then, a cannon. I sat up, alarmed. I cautiously looked around, and I saw nothing. I was certain I heard a scram. So, I got out of the sleeping bag, grabbed a knife and my bow, and went around the campsite. The scream was loud enough to tell that it was a few meters away. I walked for about six or seven meters and I saw her.
Glimmer. I went near her body to check any punctures , or animal bites. None. I checked her lips to see if she had eaten something poisonous, but no. Not a single trace of juice. Then I saw her left temple. Dented. She must have hit her head on something, but, I really suspect that somebody killed her. I heard her scream after all. Then I remembered the gift from Cashmere yesterday. Suddenly , It's not her who I pity of, but the child inside her. The child who could've lived. But when you think about it, maybe the child was better off dead. Inside it's mother. So, the child don't have to worry about the Games.
I go back to the camp site and leave Glimmer's body for the Gamemakers to take.
I approached the site and everyone seems awake. Lei's eyeing me suspiciously and so does Marvel. "What? I can't take walks now?" I asked. "No, We thought that you we're talking with another tribute." Marvel says. "Well, you're wrong. By the way, Glimmer's dead." I say.
"What!? How? " Clove asks.
"I heard a scream and a cannon this morning. Glimmer wasn't here so I looked for her. Then I saw her body." I stated.
"Who killed her?" Marvel asks with a voice with anger.
"I don't know. I didn't see a single puncture or an animal bite and I was certain that she didn't eat anything poisonous. I only saw a dent in her temple." I said.
"So that was her cannon this morning." Cato simply says. There was some emotion in his eyes. I don't know what it is and I've never seen it before. Maybe because his child also died.
It's almost evening and Glimmer's cannon was the only cannon I heard so far. Marvel's been sulking, Lei and Clove with their usual girl talk , Cato and Peeta talking about some random things they do in training and me with my usual silence. I'm so bored that once I see a squirrel, I shot it clean in the eye. Followed by two more rabbits.
"Good job Katniss. We now have dinner." Lei says.
"I think I could make us a stew." Peeta joins in.
Then we hear a cannon.
"Who do you think was that?" Lei asks.
"I don't know. But we should be thankful. At least it's another less tribute off our hands." I say.
"She's right. A tribute killed by others is less trouble." Marvel agrees.
But that's not the only reason why I'd rather let someone else do the killing instead of me. Ever since, I killed Tris, Guilt has been killing me inside. Although she allowed me to. But this is the Games we're talking about. We all have to kill people at the very end. Then we hear two more cannons.
"Who is it this time?" Clove asks.
Just then WPO seal shows and the anthem plays then the faces of the dead tributes show.
Italy
France
Malaysia
Australia.
The picture disappears, then shows the clear night sky.
"11 of us left." Cato says.
"Yeah"
Then I remembered Rue. I wonder how she's doing.
