CHAPTER ELEVEN

"Katniss?" I turn around to the voice I know so well, Prim. She's standing behind me. I smile brightly at her, until I look down to see the blood dripping down her body. I look at the source and see a knife sticking out from her chest. I run to her and scream her name but she doesn't respond. She falls back and lands on the ground which are covered with other bodies similar to Prim's. I look around at all the faces and my heart breaks with each new face. Gale, Peeta, my mother, the Hawthorne family, Madge, Rue and even my father. All the people I have ever cared about.

"I told you I would make you mine Katniss." A cool voice says behind me. I spin around and see Cato smirking at me. I feel the tears slipping down my face. I jump at him and scream in his face. He just laughs and shoves me against a tree. I hit my head and collapse onto the ground.

I open my eyes and see Peeta staring at me. He looks angry and hurt. "Why did you do that to me Katniss? Why did you kill my father?! Why did you say you loved me then go behind my back and get with Cato? WHY DID YOU HURT ME?!"

I start to ball my eyes out, I scream. I wouldn't hurt Peeta ever! He's too kind and sweet for that. What the hell is going on?!

I sit upright and let out a blood curdling scream. A hand covers my mouth. "SHUT UP!" a voice yells coldly into my right ear. I turn my head slightly and come face to face with the man that I just saw kill everyone I love. Cato was glaring daggers at me.

I try to shove him away from me. "Get off me!"

He smirks, "What you gonna do about it?"

"I'll kill you!" I scream.

He laughs coldly, it makes my skin tingle. "Yeah right. You have no one to protect you now. Lover boy will be dead, your so called allies will be dead. You have no one but me now. I told you to watch your back and that you would be mine."

I glare at him, "I am not yours!" I spit. "I don't belong to you."

"Aw don't be like that. You know you want me."

"I would rather die. There's only one guy for me Cato, and it's not you!" I growl. I'm not lying, I don't want Cato like that. I want him to leave me alone. That's all. Why was I with him anyway?

"You'll change your mind."

"Doubt it. Why am I here?!" I demand.

"Because I followed you obviously. That little stunt you pulled sure didn't help you much did it? I will congratulate you though, you did kill Glimmer. I thank you for that, she was a pain in the ass."

I stare at him, I killed someone? I don't how to feel about that, even if I STRONGLY disliked the girl. "What about everyone else?" I ask hesitantly.

"I'm alive, Clove is alive although she HATES you. Marvels here too." he answers. That wasn't what I was asking though.

"What about the people I was with?"

He laughs. "Couldn't care less about them. But your precious lover boy will be dead in a few days if not now."

"Why?"

"Because I cut him good. He's gonna have a slow and painful death. Which is good, I hate him."

"You're insane and cruel. I don't want anything to do with you!"

"I saved your ass. You're mentor sent you burn cream and I applied it to you. Was disgusting but did it anyway."

"That didn't save my ass. I'm gonna die eventually."

"That's true." He agrees.

"Then why the hell am I here if I'm gonna die?!" I shriek.

"Because I want to have some fun." He grabs my face and pulls my mouth to his. I squirm and push against his chest. His lips are hard and urgent against mine. Nothing like Peeta, Peeta's kisses were soft and sweet and made me feel special. This was wrong. I refused to kiss him back, I didn't want his lips on mine.

Finally he pulled away when he realised I wasn't responding. When his lips left I felt violated. Why did he have to do that to me again? I felt dirty and I felt like I had betrayed Peeta, even though I hadn't kissed him back. I'm such a bad person.

"You'll be begging for me one day. Just you wait." He slaps me across the face and exits the tent. I hold my hand up to wear he slapped. I feel the tingle still there. I wipe my lips gruffly, trying to get rid of the taste. I have to get out of here. But how?


I don't know how long Cato has been gone for, but the whole time I've been trying to think of a way to escape. I looked around the tent but all the careers were scattered, and Cato was directly in my eye site. He had smirked at me before I turned away and stayed put in the tent.

My thoughts kept getting distracted by Peeta, Cato had said he cut him. He had said that he would be dead soon. I don't want Peeta to die. He's my everything in this arena. I need him to be alive and safe and Peeta needs to win. I just need to get out of here!

I hear footsteps approaching, I feel my muscles tense up as I await for the person to make an entrance. When Clove stepped in, it surprised me. I never thought Clove would willingly come and visit. She hated my guts. Obviously this wasn't going to end well.

"What do you want?" I spit. My defences were at full capacity right now. I couldn't let Clove see any of my weaknesses.

She smiles her cold smile that always sends shivers down my back. "Nothing. Just wanted to have a chat."

I glare at her, I know she's lying. "I'm sure that's why you're here."

"I came to talk about Lover Boy actually. He's pretty cute you know. It's a shame he's going to die."

"He isn't going to die." I growl through my teeth.

"See that's where your wrong fire girl. He is going to die and so are you. Cato is so stupid, I can't believe he actually bought you back here and actually helped you. I think he's crazy. Why would he help a girl like you when there are plenty of other girls who are so much better?" that's when I realise it, Clove is in love with Cato. I'll admit I did not see that one coming.

"You do realise that you and Cato both can't live right? And Cato doesn't even want you so why don't you just let him go? He's going to make you weak in this arena Clove, and what happens if you are the last two people huh? Are you going to make the ultimate sacrifice and die for him? Because you know when he gets home he isn't going to give a damn that you're dead. In fact he'll probably celebrate it and just get with a tonne of other girls."

She screams at me. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! THAT'S SO NOT TRUE!"

"It is Clove. If it weren't then why the hell did he kiss me?"

Clove turns red and her body starts to shake, she slaps me hard in the face and kicks me in the gut. I don't try to stop her. Maybe she'll just kill me now, I wouldn't mind. I don't want to spend the rest of my short life in a tent with Cato. All too soon she stops herself and walks out of the tent.

Now I'm back to where I started, trying to think of a way to get out of this hell hole.


It's night now, I can tell because I can hear the Panem Anthem. I lay back on the ground in the corner of the tent. I wish so badly to have Peeta's arms around me, his strong arms that make me feel safe and warm. I hope he's ok, I need him to be alive.

"You changed your mind yet?" Cato's cold voice fills the tent. I sit up and scoot as far away from him as possible.

"I'll never change my mind." I grumble.

He crosses the room and squats in front of me, "You will, trust me." He holds my arms down and forces his lips on mine once again. I squirm and try to pull my face away from his but he won't let me. I somehow manage to wiggle one of my legs from under his body and I kick him hard in the stomach.

He falls off me and I jump up and try to get to the entrance but he grabs me by the ankle and I fall down. "You bitch! Why the hell did you do that?!"

I try to kick out of his grasp but his grip is far too strong. "I did it because you kissed me! I don't want to be kissed by anyone but Peeta! Now let go of me!" I scream. I try to crawl towards the entrance but Cato just pulls me back.

"You will not do that again!"

"I'll do whatever the hell I want!" I screech in his face.

Then he punches me in the face, the cheek he and Clove had slapped earlier. It stings but I will not give him any indication that it had hurt me. I can see the fire in his eyes and I can tell that he's about to hit me again. His fist is getting closer and closer I'm preparing my-self for the impact when I hear a lot of screaming and then a loud BOOM!

"What the hell is going on out there?!" Cato yells before he jumps up and runs out of the tent. I follow in suit to what the commotion is.

Holy crap. Everything the careers own is on fire. I look around and see things scattered around and see fighting in the distance. I don't even think about what I'm about to do. I take off in the direction of the fight. As I get closer I see that the people fighting are Thresh, Rue, Clove and Cato. By the looks of it Cato and Clove are over powering them. They need my help.

I jump into the fight and kick Clove away from Rue. She crashes to the ground with a shocked expression. "Let's get out of here!" I command Rue.

"What about Thresh?" Rue pleads.

"Let's go!" I hear Thresh yell. I glance back and see Cato knocked out on the ground and Clove attending to him. The three of us all take off into the forest.

We keep running until we feel we are a safe distance from their 'camp'. "Katniss you come and get the weapons with me, Rue you go find Peeta." Thresh commands.

"What if we can't find each other?" I ask.

"Use the mockingjays." Rue whispers.

"Mockingjays?" I ask. I hadn't noticed that there were even mockingjays in the arena. Mockingjays were a capital bread creature mixed of Mockingbirds and jabber jays. They were created so that the capital could find out information and repeat it to the capital. Eventually the people discovered what was going on and began telling them lies. It was rather funny until the Capital figured it out. They were so angry about it, so they set them into the wild, hoping that they would die off. But somehow they managed to keep their species alive I think it was with hummingbirds. They had lost their ability to talk but now they just sing. I remember when my father used to see to them and then they would repeat his song. It always amazed me.

"Well if I need you listen out for this." She hums a song and after a few turns the birds repeat it. "Now you try."

I do, I hum a song that my father used to sing. I was surprised when the birds stoped and listened, just like they had for my father. What amazed me further is that they picked up my song and sang it back to me.

"So if we hear these then that means we're ok."

"Alright Rue. We'll see you soon." I pull her to me in an embrace. She grips me tightly. I like Rue I really do, she's young, sweet and a fighter. Most of all she reminds me of my sister Prim.

"Bye Katniss. See ya Thresh!" Rue calls and then she takes off.

Thresh and I take off into the forest. We don't talk but I do feel safe with him. Nothing like when I'm with Peeta but I know that Thresh won't hurt me and no one will be able to hurt me with Thresh around.

About half an hour later we arrive in a clearing, Thresh starts pulling out some weapons that I hadn't expected. The last one he passes me would have to be the most amazing thing in the entire world. My bow and arrow. Thresh smiles at me, "We thought you might like this. Peeta told us that you were good with it."

"You've seen Peeta?" I ask.

"Yeah, after what you did Rue and I went back to find you guys. You were gone but Peeta was there. He has a really bad cut on his leg. He told us not to help him, that we had to find you. So we got planning and now here we are."

"Oh." Is all I say.

"Let's get going, Peeta wants to see you."

I nod and we start running again back in the direction we came from. We are almost back to where we had started when I hear her. We both stop and listen. "THRESH, KATNISS HELP ME!" it was Rue and she was in trouble.

I'm really sorry if that was a let down, I was going to have Katniss play Cato but realised that I just couldn't make Katniss cheat on Peeta. It wouldn't be right. So yeah sorry if it wasn't very good and that it was a little shorter than previous chapters. Next chapter will be better, I promise.

Thanks for reading until next time!
