I'm sorry it took so long, I feel terrible. :( Its because my schedule for the whole week was fully booked because I had training and it lasted until night time. I'm really sorry! I hope this chapter could make everything feel better :)
Chapter 13:
At about an estimated time of 2 in the morning, Clove woke Glimmer up for the next shift
"No" Glimmer whined as she went back to sleep
"Get up, Blondie. It's your turn" Clove scowled as she kicked Glimmer's body
Glimmer stands up quickly as she rubs the part where Clove kicked her "Shit. What's your problem, B***h" she said.
"Dumbass, It's your turn to watch" Clove scowls
"I don't want to, B***h" Glimmer scowls back
Clove glares at Glimmer with her famous eye piercing death glares as she takes a knife out and immediately places it near Glimmer's throat "I'm f***ing tired so get your ass over to that side of the camp fire and f***ing watch me sleep!" Clove shouts
Glimmer freezes in fear as Clove takes away her knife from her throat and lays down inches away from Cato. Clove doesn't bother to place back the knife she took as she knew that it was better if she held on to it for protection. As she holds on tightly to her knife she quickly dozes off and leaves a terrified Glimmer standing alone.
Glimmer snaps out from her terrified look. She looks crosses to the other side and sits down where Clove used to sit.
She looks over to the spot she used to lay down, the spot beside Cato. Her eyes widen as she sees Clove so close to Cato. She uses his arm as a pillow as she turns to face Cato's body. "That B***h, how dare she kick me like that? My body still hurts from the burns and she just worsens the pain. I'm so going to kill you. Just look at you, sleeping next to Cato. It's obvious that you're trying to make me jealous but too bad honey, Cato kissed me and he enjoyed it. He will never kiss a dumbass b***h like you. Enjoy your last night with him as for tomorrow, you will never be able to touch Cato or even get near him ever again"
She takes her arrows and plays with it on the dirt as she suddenly feels a cool sensation behind her neck.
"Why is it so cold? For the past few days it was never this cold" Glimmer says as she zips up her jacket for warmth. A strong wind starts to blow as Glimmer shivers and her teeth start chattering.
"It was never this cold last night. The gamemakers must be torturing someone and it's affecting me as well. That tribute is going to pay" Glimmer says as she starts to shake
"Glimmer, you're too noisy" Marvel says groggily
"Well, sorry. I'm just cold right now" Glimmer scowls
Marvel stands up and sits beside Glimmer and removes his jacket and places it around her. Glimmer's eyes widen and looks at Marvel "What are you doing?"
"Protecting you from the wind?" Marvel says
"Thanks…" Glimmer smiles
"No problem, By the way has your hair always been this short?" Marvel asks
"What? No. My hair has always been long ever since" Glimmer says
"Really? Then what happened to your hair? It suddenly became short" Marvel says
"WHAT?" Glimmer says. She places her hand behind her neck and feels nothing but the ends of her hair. She touches her back and finds nothing but the leather of the jacket. Her eyes widen in fear as she knows Marvel was right.
"W-what happened?" Glimmer said
"How am I supposed to know? I was asleep and Clove was the only…" Marvel was cut off when Glimmer finished his sentence "one awake…"
Glimmer was now furious she takes her arrow and tightens her grip on it. When she was about to scream her lungs off, Marvel quickly covers her mouth…
"I know your mad right now but you can't shout. If you do, you'll attract tributes and wild animals and you'll also wake Cato and Clove up and I hate it already when their awake, what more if you wake them up right now" Marvel mutters
Glimmer pushes Marvel's hand away from her mouth as she says "That B***h! She must have cut my hair when I was asleep! Nobody touches my hair! Nobody cuts my hair! She's gone too far. She steals my man and is now destroying my plan, she humiliates me in front of the whole world, Fine. I don't care but no one and I mean no one can cut or touch my hair until I say so! She's going to die now!"
Marvel quickly places his arm around Glimmer and pushes her near him so Glimmer's head is lying down on his shoulder. "Tomorrow. You will kill her tomorrow but not now. When you're furious and out of control the kill won't be satisfying and besides long hair or short, you still look pretty. Go to sleep, Glimmer. I'll keep watch"
Glimmer doesn't say another word as she closes her eyes and tightens her grip on the arrow she's holding, before she knows it, she dozes off. Marvel looks over to her and sees her fast asleep. He grins and says "Sleep tight, Glimmer for tomorrow you will need all the strength you have to kill Clove"
He strokes her arm back and forth as he stares into the fire that flickers into the night. He starts to yawn and his eyes start to droop down. He tries his best to keep awake but at some point his eyes completely close as he falls asleep beside Glimmer.
"CRACK!" Clove eyes snap open upon hearing the noise of a branch snapping. Her eyes widen in surprise as she sees a cracked tracker jacker nest. She jumps out of her sleeping bag and shouts "CATO, WAKE UP"
Glimmer's eyes flew open upon seeing the tracker jackers she screams as she is the closet to the broken nest and was immediately stung.
"To the lake!" Cato shouts, then takes off running. Clove follows behind not even bothering to grab their other stuff as she sprints away from the nest and the tracker jackers. She picks up her pace not even bothering if her other allies were following her
Glimmer takes her bow and arrows and sees Clove sprint away. She first glares at Clove as she figured that it wasn't her brightest idea as she gets stung again. She sprints after Clove as she holds on to her bow and arrows.
She sees Clove running in a wobbly way. Glimmer tries to run faster but she finds herself tripping. She quickly stands up and runs after Clove who was tripping and slipping as well. Glimmer's vision starts to mess with her as she only sees a shining twinkling sparkling jewels. She closes her eyes and shakes her head as an attempt to clear her vision. Once her vision was back to normal, she realized that Clove was leaning on a tree. She takes this opportunity and pounces at her, making both of them fall on the ground. Glimmer pinned Clove down and made sure that her hands were nowhere near her knives.
"Get off of me!" Clove shouts
Glimmer takes one of her arrows and places it in her throat and says "How dare you touch my hair? How dare you cut it? Nobody touches my hair and gets away with it, B***h"
Clove grins and says "Don't like it? I thought you said that you were perfect? Perfect people can pull off any hairstyle and looking at you right now makes me sick! I guess you're not as perfect as you think you are!"
"Shut up, B***h" Glimmer shouts. She was about to slice Clove's throat when she freezes and her vision becomes all blurry and colorful
Clove sees Glimmer freeze, she then takes the opportunity and uses all her strength to push Glimmer away. She turns them around and she quickly pins Glimmer down, she takes a knife out and places it on her throat and says "I always like to play with my prey before killing it, where should I start? Where do you want me to start?"
"Why don't you start with your goddamn face!" Glimmer shouts
Clove draws a circular motion around Glimmer's mouth using her knife and shouts back "Why don't I start with your goddamn mouth so you don't f***ing annoy me with your shitty voice!"
Glimmer turns her head to the left while Clove pressed in her knife against her skin so when she turned it created a huge scar in her mouth until her right cheek.
Clove grins and takes up her knife and wipes the blood away and says "You did that on your own. How does it feel being cut up by your own stupidity?"
Glimmer could feel the blood flowing down her cheek as she glares at Clove and scowls "To tell you the truth, I didn't feel a goddamn thing. Maybe your knife isn't so sharp after all"
Glimmer kept on squirming and struggling, Clove got irritated and grabbed her face to hold it down and said "If my knife isn't so sharp, then why are you squirming and struggling?"
"Shut up" Glimmer scowls
"Pathetic, your lying. I hate people who lie especially when they know that I've already heard or seen it. It's pathetic" Clove scowls
"Well I'm sorry. I wasn't born to f***ing please you" Glimmer scowls back
"So what are you born for? F***ing the shit out of someone else's man?" Clove scowls
"What!" Glimmer says angrily
Clove's eyes widen and says "Forget it. A Sl*t like you wouldn't understand"
"I'm not a sl*t. You are!" Glimmer shouts as she uses all her strength to turn them over. Clove falls down on her side and rolls away from Glimmer, while she quickly stands up and tries to run to her bow that fell on the ground on the other side. Clove gets on her feet and grabs Glimmer's short hair and says "I'm not finished with you yet!" She bangs Glimmer's face on the tree multiple times then she takes out a knife and places it in her throat and says "I told you, a bow and arrow won't be enough to kill me"
"Don't underestimate me" Glimmer says as she swung her head forward and swung it backwards with so much force hitting Clove in the face.
Clove released her grip on Glimmer as she rubbed her face trying to ease the pain. Glimmer took an arrow and aimed it at Clove, releasing it as she was still rubbing her face. She got a direct hit as the tip of the arrow sliced Clove's right arm making it useless.
Clove screams in pain as she covers her injury with her other hand to stop the blood from flowing "B***H!" she shouts. She takes a knife out from the left waist pocket and throws it a Glimmer, who was trying to get another arrow.
The knife flew and stabbed Glimmer's right arm making it useless. She screams in pain as she takes out the blade from her body. Clove charges for Glimmer but she was able to load an arrow into her bow, she releases it and it hits Clove's left arm.
"Shit…" Clove shouts as she snaps the arrow in two and pulls it out
"How can you throw your knives when your arms are useless?" Glimmer teases as she aims another arrow at her
"Don't underestimate me, Glimmer. I don't need my knives to win this fight" Clove says as she takes a knife and places it in her mouth, she makes a run for it to Glimmer and quickly holds her head in a headlock which she learned from Cato the other day at training. Glimmer tries her best to get away from the head lock but every move she makes Clove holds on tighter.
"Don't struggle. It will only make things work and besides, you like Cato right? Then your death will be a trick that he taught me. It would be a very sweet death don't you think? Your cause of the death is a trick the person you love most can do very well" Clove teases
"Shut up. Why bring him up now, Clove? Can this mean that you've been jealous of me and him all along?" Glimmer scowls
"What!" Clove says angrily
"That's it, isn't it? Ever since Cato showed signs of liking me, you've been this pissed. Face it Clove, He loves me and doesn't give a shit about you" Glimmer scowls
Clove glares at her from behind and uses the knife on her mouth and slices Glimmer's neck. Her eyes widen in pain as she screams as the knife was being dragged against her skin. Glimmer reaches for an extra bow placed on her waist, she takes it and stabs Clove's right arm hard. Clove had no choice but to release her grip making Glimmer back away a few steps from her.
Glimmer places her hand at the back of her neck and feels a warm wet liquid flowing down her body, she tears out a part of her t-shirt and wraps it around her neck to stop the blood.
Clove winces in pain as she pulls out the arrow from her hand. A huge gush of blood came flowing out, she curses as she tears a part of her shirt and wraps it around her hand to stop the blood from flowing out of her body.
Glimmer grins and says "You're jealous of me aren't you?"
Clove rolls her eyes and says "You're flattering yourself too much"
Glimmer raises her eyebrow and says "You are jealous. You're jealous because I can show the whole world that I like Cato and you can't because if you did you would think that you would become a disgrace in the careers but you know what? Even if you don't confess it to the whole damn world you're already a disgrace! That stupid attitude of yours, it's a shitty attitude for a career - -" She was cut off when a knife flew past her which created a scar right below her eye.
"Shut up, you know nothing about me. You don't even know me. Who gives you the damn right to judge me? And besides I don't want to be lectured about being a career from a sl*tty girl from 1 who only cares about her damn looks, her damn hair, her damn eyes, her damn body and her damn love life but guess what, your attitude is shitty too. Acting all flirty and helpless it's pathetic!" Clove shouts
"Shut up, words won't express how mad I am" Glimmer scowls as she takes out an arrow and aims it at Clove.
"Fine. Let the blades do the talking" Clove scowls back as she takes out two knives from her vest, she makes sure that those knives she took were the biggest and the deadliest.
Clove chargers for Glimmer who was shooting at her, Every arrow was blocked except for two which hit her at her knee and at her left arm. Clove continues to run as she takes out the arrows from her body but then she finds herself being kicked in the face and being sat on.
Clove struggles to break free from Glimmer's body. She aims two arrows on Clove's head and says "Die, Cleverwood"
Clove grins as she kicks her leg up and a knife flew out of her boot and into Glimmer's waist. She screams in pain as she rolls down from Clove who was still suffering from the arrows she shot.
Glimmer pulls out the knife from her waist and a gush of blood flowed out. She glares at Clove and aims for her waist and releases an arrow. Clove reacts quickly and blocks the arrow with her knife, then she uses that arrow and throws it at Glimmer who was able to dodge on time.
Clove stands up and breathes heavily while Glimmer leaned on the tree and breathes as well.
"Let me ask you, Cleverwood. Why do you hate me?" Glimmer asks
"Why bring that question up now, Rose?" Clove scowls
"Just answer the goddamn question" Glimmer shouts
"Fine, it's because no one steals what's mine" Clove scowls
"What's yours?" Glimmer asks out of stupidity
"Cato Wood, He's mine. Didn't you know? He was only playing with you like you were some toy. You were nothing more to him but even if he is just playing with you, nobody still touches and kisses what's mine" Clove scowls
"I knew it… This match is getting stupid, were fighting over a guy" Glimmer chuckles
"Oh, I'm not fighting for Cato. I'm fighting for myself. I just hate people like you, you think that your perfect and worth dying for but you're not. I'm going to kill each and every single one of your kinds until they get the message that nobody's f***ing perfect" Clove says as she takes out another knife, not caring which one she grabs as she pounces on Glimmer. They both fall on to the ground, Clove tries to stab Glimmer who was blocking her every move.
"Get off of me!" Glimmer shouts
"Not easy being the one on the bottom eh?" Clove scowls as she tries to stab Glimmer once again but fails as Glimmer hits Clove's hand knocking the knife out of her hands.
"So much for being the best at knives when you can't even stab me" Glimmer says as she secretly takes a knife from one of Clove's pockets and adds "Face it, Cleverwood. I'm better than you and you know it" Glimmer stabs Clove's thigh, she pushes it in deeper as Clove screams in pain.
Clove falls on the ground as she tries to take the blade out of her thigh. Glimmer stands up and takes an arrow from her case and points it at Clove who lies down on the ground trying to stop the bleeding.
"I told you I was better than you. I always was, you underestimated me and now look what it has gotten you. Die, Cleverwood" Glimmer says as she was about to stab Clove her vision starts to get foggy and her head starts to ache.
"W-what's happening?" Glimmer shouts
Clove breaths heavily and says "D-didn't you know? Tracker Jacker stings are poisonous, it messes with your senses and then it goes to your brain which leads to a massive headache and then the poison will go to your heart, which will lead to your death"
Clove stands up and pushes Glimmer down. She sits on top of her and stares at her and says "The poison is kicking in, I'll make your death slow and painful" Clove teases. She takes out one knife and stabs Glimmer's hand in place. She takes out another knife, as she was about to stab Glimmer's hand in place. Glimmer slaps her hand away and punches Clove in the gut making her cough out blood and also pushing her away. She flips to the side and takes the knife out of her hand and quickly stands up.
"I won't let some tracker jacker stings kill me" Glimmer scowls as she raises up her whole left leg and slams it down on Clove.
Clove screams and instantly blacks out. Glimmer smiles wickedly and shouts "WHO'S THE BEST NOW, CLOVE? WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING THE BEST AND KILLING EVERYONE THAT GETS IN YOUR WAY?" Glimmer laughs and kicks the spot where the arrow had sliced her waist.
"I've got to get out of her or else her body's stench will get into me" Glimmer says as she limps away thinking that she has killed Clove Cleverwood.
Clove lays still on the ground and sits up silently as she holds the spot where Glimmer kicked her.
"A word of advice, Glimmer, never turn your back on an enemy" Clove says as she takes out the 6 small needles in her wrist bands. Glimmer turns around and her eyes widen in fear as she sees Clove standing up. She sees 6 meduim sized needles coming right at her, she tries to move to dodge but her body wouldn't obey.
"MOVE! MOVE!" Glimmer shouts. The 6 needles pierced Glimmer's chest into a straight line.
Clove takes out the 4 knives in her arm bands and throws it at Glimmer who was still frozen in her spot. The four knives directly hits Glimmer's thighs.
She stands their motionless as knives were being thrown at her. She couldn't feel a thing. The tracker Jacker stings have taken full control of her body and she knew that she was already dead.
Clove doesn't stop there she takes out the two knives behind her waist and throws it at Glimmer aiming for her legs. It passes through her skin leaving two giant holes in her legs as blood flows out from them.
"I bet you can't even feel your death right now" Clove grins as she limps her way near Glimmer. She takes out the knife from her other waist and cuts up her face, her arms, her hands and her hair making it shorter than before.
Clove stares at Glimmer's motionless body and sees all the cuts she made. Every cut she made had blood flowing out. She grins and says "For once, you look pretty to me"
Clove slices Glimmer's throat and stabs the knife straight to her heart. She looks at Glimmer's eyes as the light blue eyes turn to black. She was dead, her body falls down and blood continues to flow out.
Clove grins and says "You may be better than me but I will always be smarter than you" She takes all of her knives out of her body swiftly and places them back. She turns around and starts to limp to the lake, she gives one last glance at Glimmer's body and says "When you touch what's mine, you die. Go to hell, Glimmer Rose"
Clove limps her way to the lake as she holds on to all of her injuries, trying to stop the flow of her blood. Halfway there her vision starts to get foggy and colourful.
"Shit… the poison" Clove mutters as her vision turns to pink glittery shining twinkling sparkles. She shrugs off the feeling and continues to limp her way to the lake "I'm almost there…" she says.
Before she knows it, she starts to see a figure come out of her eyes. Her eyes widen in fear as she sees Glimmer standing right before her eyes. She tries to take a knife out but fails miserably. She looks down at her body and sees all of her knives were missing. She returns her gaze to Glimmer and sees Cato, Marvel and Lover Boy standing next to her with wicked smiles.
"Help me" Clove mutters
"Die, Clove" Cato grins as he places his arm around Glimmer's waist.
"No… Cato…" Clove whispers
Glimmer winks at Clove and shoots an arrow to her. Clove looks down on her chest and sees the arrow piercing her heart. She looks back at Glimmer and sees her making out with Cato.
"No. No. No. NO!" Clove shouts at the top of her lungs. She could feel herself losing control of her body as her body quickly falls down on the ground with a loud thud. She takes one last look at Cato and sees him still kissing Glimmer. Tears start to fall down in her eyes as her vision starts to become black and blurry and before she knows it, she blacks out.
Cato was already in the water, trying to hide from the tracker jackers. He clearly had a huge gasp of air as he stayed under water for a few more minutes. When he finally rose up he turned his head to the left and saw Marvel collapsed at the base of the water. He turned to his right and his eyes widen in fear as he sees Clove collapsed on the ground. He quickly gets out of the water and rushes over to Clove. He places her head in his lap and he starts to shake her very hard "Clove! Clove!" he shouts
He shakes even harder and none of his efforts were working. He places his hand on the side of her waist and feels a warm liquid sensation running down his hands, he removes his hand and as he stares at it his eyes widen in anger. His whole palm was covered in blood. He takes a full look at Clove's body and sees more injuries that were bleeding
"Shit" Cato scowls as he places his ear on her chest. He sighs of relief as he could hear her steady heart beat beating. He rips a huge part of his shirt and wraps it around her waist to stop the bleeding, he makes sure that it was tight and secured. Once he was done wrapping Clove with his shirt, he looks up and scans the area, he then notices Lover Boy was nowhere to be seen.
Cato's eyes start to turn dark blue as he glares at the trees, he places Clove down slowly and whispers "I'll be back for you, Clove. Don't die on me" He kisses her forehead then takes his sword and sprints back to where the tracker jacker nest was last seen, thinking that Lover Boy was the one that injured Clove badly.
Cato sprints through the woods not caring about the pain it was causing him. He was stung on his right leg, his back, his neck, his ear and the bottom of his right eye. His vision starts to get blurry as he sees Purple and blue colours mashing up together. He shrugs off this feeling and continues to run. He only had his left eye to rely on but even that eye was playing with him. Trees start turning to huge white roses. The grass start turning into lava, Cato closes his eyes and shakes his head.
"This is an illusion made by the stings! Come on, Cato!" He says as he runs even faster. He passes Glimmer's body and sees it sliced up and brutally hurt. He stops running and lightly kicks her body. He sees no reaction from her. He kicks her harder and Glimmer's body flips over. He sees the huge cut in her neck and sees the hole right in her heart. Cato curses not because of Glimmer's death but because Lover Boy has overdone it. His attention turns back to the woods as he heard a loud worried cry.
"RUN!" Peeta shouts, pushing Katniss along
Katniss sees Cato as she holds on to Glimmer's bow and arrows and sprints off. Cato's senses were starting to go numb, he tightens his grip on his sword and charges for Lover Boy
"TRAITOR" Cato yells as he tries to stab him but Lover Boy dodges at the last moment and holds the knife he took from Clove.
"You f***ing injured Clove, you steal her goddamn knife and now your helping Fire Girl? You're dead, Lover boy!" Cato scowls. He swings his sword once again knowing the pain its causing him but he shrugs it off and slashes him, Lover Boy dodges once again but quickly falls to the ground as the poison was starting to affect his whole body.
Cato was about to slash Lover Boy when he rolls around him and slashes his right leg. To Cato, those kind of attacks won't even hurt him but with the stings already in his leg and add that scar it was able to make him wince in pain. Suddenly, Lover Boy was starting to look green and yellow and the stings on his body was oozing green slime. Cato takes a look at his stings and notices that he was oozing green slime as well.
Lover Boy starts to stand up, Cato sees this as he swings his sword and catches him in the leg all the way down to his left thigh and just above his knee. Lover Boy screams in pain as Cato steps on his chest and he places in a lot of force. Blood was flowing out of from Lover Boy's leg but to Cato it was colour blue.
"Clove. I've got to get back to Clove" Cato says as he removes his foot on Lover Boy's chest and kicks him the ribs.
"I can kill him now but Clove is my priority here. I need to get back to her. He'll bleed to death anyway. Bye Asshole" Cato says as he starts to sprint back to Clove. He tries to run in the best straight line he can manage when the ground beneath him was cracking and separating like a huge earthquake has been going on. He slashes aimlessly through the huge white roses which start to transform into what maybe sand, pouring down on him until he reaches the lake again.
Cato quickly knees beside Clove who was twitching uncontrollably. Cato places her head in his lap as he tries to lessen the twitching, which was getting hard because Clove was starting to decompose in front of him. Her wounds were getting worse and she was looking pale, just like Glimmer.
"NO. NO. NO. NO.! Don't die, Clove! Don't die on me! Clove!" Cato shouts. Just then a thousand snakes came slithering towards Cato. Cato holds on to Clove's body tightly as he tries to slash at them, but the only thing that was coming out was dirt and grass. They slither on top of Clove into a death grip and he tries his best to stop them but Snakes were wrapping him in a death grip making him unable to breath. Cato holds on to Clove tighter not wanting to let go, as the snake rolls around his head blocking what vision he had left. A horrid stench of burning flesh stings his nostrils as he tries to scream to himself to stay awake.
"NO. STAY AWAKE!" Cato screams
A huge snake slithers up his body and stares at Cato in the eyes. It releases its long tongue and wraps itself around Cato's neck making him to lose the little air he had left. For the final blow he bites his neck and Cato screams in pain as he passes out beside Clove.
