I am so happy for all the reviews because it really makes me think people like the fanfiction. I'm getting more random in these authors notes.
I keep running even though I know it is all in vain. Clove is going to die. The thought just makes me run faster. The knife is poised at her heart. It digs in.
What happens next is a blur. Between Cloves screams Glimmers threats and… and the district 12s girl throwing Glimmer of her, onto the floor. She strings an arrow on her bow and points it at her heart.
When I finally get there I pick Clove up. "Cato," is all she manages to say before she blacks out. The district 12 girl is at my side. "Will she be alright?" she asks.
I'm stunned. That after our arrogance towards her, she still had the decency to spare Cloves life. This is the type of UN spoiled tribute. The one that will not change in the games.
"Thank you. What's your name?" I ask her. For some reason I feel no need to flirt. "Katniss. I was happy to." As she says this she shoots the arrow at the target dummy. She hits it square in the heart. I'm impressed when I suddenly have a good idea to repay her.
"I have a proposal. You will come part of the career pack. We will save your life. I seriously advise you to. I mean you saw what we would do. Because the truth is we are animals. But its only because we were raised that way" I say to her. She seems to consider it for a while. "Ok. But don't kill Peeta either until we have to. I am not saying he has to be our ally but I wouldn't be able to deal with him killing. And that was big of you to admit all that. You're not so bad. I can see you c" She says.
I nod. " I am Cato. This is Clove," I nod to Clove who has re surfaced. I quickly tell her the plan and she nods. "And thank you for saving my life." Clove says. Katniss shrugs. "And of course that is Glimmer." I say.
"What! She is going to be in the pack?" Katniss asks shocked. I look over at where Glimmer was and she is gone. "Yes otherwise our mentors will kill us. They are very close to district 1s mentors. And I'm going to have to sleep with her." I exclaim.
"What!" Katniss says again. I explain to her and she nearly throws up at that. We go into the lift together, discussing tactics. At the second floor, we say goodbye and watch the lift door close.
I lift Clove onto her bed and she immediately sleeps. I clean her cuts and wrap the wound on her chest. After I'm finished, I get bored so I decide to eat.
I have various snacks before relaxing on the sofa. It is then when I realise what we have to do.
I will have to go and spend the night with Glimmer. I will pretend to like her instead of Clove. Then as soon as the gong sounds, she will run for the weapons. Whereas Clove will be throwing the knife to her leg. Katniss will puncture her shoulder with a arrow. And I will finally plunge my sword into her heart.
Of course we can't do this. It would cause hatred between our districts which would result in no careers winning the games. I couldn't do that. I will have to accidently have her die.
It's mainly know. I don't need to worry about him as much because he is stupid enough to die himself. This amuses me.
I check in on Clove and she is still sleeping soundly. I smile and I realise how much she has changed me for the better. Though my arrogance is there, it is faded in comparison of her radiant light. She is my angel. She is my beloved saviour.
It is then when I hear a scream. It is coming from below me, district 1s floor. It is a female scream but to genuine to be Glimmers. Then I hear my name. For a second I think it is Clove but she has just appeared beside me, her eyes open with shock.
We both run to the lift and step inside. The lift goes down and we are finally let out. To see Katniss tied to the ground by ropes, Marvel and Glimmer trying to get information out of her. They are mental. They do anything to make sure they are on top of everything. It is then we see there mentors doing just as much threatening. They are idiots! I wonder if the whole of 1 is like this.
Yes I know I'm rambling but deal with it.
