Chapter 12- You're Alive?

Bree POV

I started walking towards the cornucopia. It was almost dawn, and well, I was tired, had blood all over me, and since there were 5 left, and 2 cannons went off that meant there were only 2 tributes left in the Games.

Me and District 10.

I started running when I noticed something following me.

I climbed up a tree once I got to the edge of the cornucopia.

All I needed was a clear shot at District 10, and this whole game would be over.

I saw him walk into the cornucopia- weaponless?

What the hell?

Why di- Oh. My. God.

He had one of those ferocious things that tried to kill us both on a leash. Not really a leash but like a metal sort of chain (where the hell did he get that?)

My eyes widened considerably when I saw him tug it along, and I saw him tug out 3 more.

Does this guy have a death wish?

I was shocked beyond belief. This kid had to be crazy to keep those things so close to him.

He walked into the middle of the cornucopia, and grabbed the bag that had a 10 on it.

I then noticed that he had a rash growing along the side of his body.

I smirked a little and noticed bugs crawling on him. He had Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (AKA MRSA). (I'll explain what it is at the bottom.)

I gulped, and he walked away tugging the 'dogs' with him.

I hopped down from the tree making sure they were gone.

I shook my head and said, "That kid is surely gonna die before I make it to him."

I walked over and grabbed my bag that had a 12 on it, and ran out of the cornucopia.

I climbed up a different tree on the other-side of the cornucopia, and well, I opened the bag, and sure has hell wasn't expecting a letter.

Especially one from Cato.

*I was gonna stop it here, but I gave you guys enough cliff-hangers*

I gulped, and opened the letter.

Dear Bree,

I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna come out and say it. I'm alive. This isn't a trick for the capitol. You know how I write, and well, you know this is my handwriting.

Babe, you've got to come out alive. I'm sorry about what happened to Rue, but you promised her, me, and your sisters, that you would come out alive, and all I need to hear you say is that you'll kill that kid, and come back to me.

I know when you first met me, we immediately hit it off. I've never met another girl like you. I never have, and I can't live without you.

Bree, I have one thing to tell you, I love you, I'm alive, and I need you to come home. To me.

Knowing you, you're probably in tears right now, so I want to say I love you, and well, kick his ass, babe.

, Cato

He was right, I was in tears. Incased was a picture of Cato in a hospital bed. Cato wasn't lying he really was alive. I knew it. No one could put what Cato just said in words because he had his own way of saying them. He would tell you to your face the point that he was trying to make, and he wouldn't try and do it nicely. The only person he was ever nice to, in his words, "You're the only one I've ever been nice to. I wasn't even that nice to my parents."

I knew this was Cato, and I knew this.

I was coming home. And District 10 and his 'dogs' were going to go down. Hard.

AN: Sorry about the late update guys! :(

But I had a very bad panic attack last night. I had trouble breathing, and I couldn't get anything done yesterday. I have no idea what caused the panic attack, and I want to know badly so it won't happen again, and now my throat is killing me, and I almost blew off today's update, but I didn't because I already felt bad about leaving you guys with no update yesterday. o_o

But Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (AKA MRSA): MRSA is labeled the "super bug". This potentially deadly skin infection begins as small red bumps. The bumps look similar to pimples or bug bites. These small bumps evolve into deep and painful abscesses. The bacteria are confined into the skin but can gain access into the body. Once in the body, MRSA causes infections in the blood, heart, lungs, bones, and joints.

I know ew, but it kills you if it doesn't get treated.

But please review, and if i get 100 reviews (9 reviews) I'll post another chapter tomorrow. :)
