I was determined not to let Glitterbomb break me, or any of my friends, so I didn't hesitate to vacate the are, fast. I barely managed to snatch the spear out of Yarn's tight grip, even dead, she was still refusing to let anyone else take it. But, as I was about to go and search for Lola, because I knew that we could both find Colin together, I heard footsteps coming towards me. Worried that it was the Love pack, I scurried up the tree. But when I heard the voices, I realised that I wouldn't need to find Lola after all.

"It's still my turn, for goodness sake!" Blossom stomped into my view. "I only got one kill yesterday!"

That must have been the boy from District 6.

"Which was your twenty four hour time." Lola spoke with less emotion, just simply stating her opinion while Blossom chewed her out. "It's not about kills, you know. You had enough time yesterday to go on a rampage. But, that doesn't matter now. What matters is that we stick to our schedule and make things fair."

"YOU PRIGGISH FOOL!" Blossom barked, and then looked over to Tilly for extra support.

I could tell that Tilly wanted to take Lola's side, but she knew it was best for her to stay out of it. One wrong word could cost her life, so she shrugged helplessly.

"I am going to use it today. Use it all you can in the night, though. It's your turn to keep watch."

Suddenly, Blossom calmed down, too suddenly. "Right, okay. I'll try and kill some animals, and potentially some tributes for tomorrow morning. Then, the bow and arrows are all yours for the next two days."

Lola seemed slightly relieved that she was able to reason with her. "Good. I'll see you in the morning."

Tilly laid down on the smooth terrain and shut her eyes almost immediately. Lola was also soon asleep, and seemed glad to finally have these hours to herself. Her only private moment was when she slept, it seemed. No wonder why she was annoyed at me for crying so loudly on the night we were reaped.

Anyone with any sort of sense would know not to trust Blossom, especially not when she was this mad. As she leaned against a tree, I eyed her suspiciously. She had a plan, that was clear, what was more opaque was what it exactly was. I saw her dig into her backpack, until she took out a knife. She did have a weapon! Not just the slingshot which she soon disposed of. She took it out slowly and silently, what was she trying to do. Had she found me in the tree? I took out my spear and prepared to throw it at her, if it became necessary. That was when she began to approach Lola with a sly face with that knife. She slowly began to bring it down on her, reaching a hand out so she could block her mouth when she screamed in pain.

I wasn't going to let that happen. Without thinking, I threw my spear at her, going straight through her heart, making sure that there was absolutely no chance of her surviving. I leaped down the tree, and then stared at her fighting to not cry as she suffered from the pain. I could've shoved her onto her back and then dug the spear in further, but I wasn't going to become a second Glitterbomb. Instead I handed her her knife, and she soon got the message. She quickly dug it into the wound, making one last break for air, before withering away from her soul. I suppose I also could have killed Tilly right there, while I had the chance, but I saw no reason to kill her. Despite her eight in training, with her compassion, she really could never actually kill anyone. And unfortunately, in the Hunger Games, that was a major disadvantage.

I rapidly shook Lola awake, whispering harshly, "Lola, wake up!"

Only she, at first, got the wrong idea, "Blossom, I swear, any more words from you, and I'll skin you alive with my bare fists."

"No, this isn't Blossom, Lola! This is Kayla!"

The sound of my name caused her eyes to suddenly open, "Kayla, why are you here? And where's Blossom?"

"She tried to kill you!" I cried. "So I killed her with my spear!"

This startled her slightly, and she jumped to her feet. She observed the dead Blossom, and, showing no sense of pity, shoved her on her back, handed me my spear and took the knife. "That pig. Why is that knife even here? I thought you said you used her spear!"

"She had a weapon all this time! Her whole plan was to use it to kill you and Tilly!"

"Well, at least now I have a knife," she then opened Blossom's backpack and found her bow and arrows, "and never forget these!"

"Are you going to kill Tilly?" I asked. "It's your choice, but I don't think she is much of a threat."

"I agree, no point killing her now, she'll be dead at least tomorrow." Lola sighed. "Best get out of here now, while we have the chance."

"Good plan."

Only we weren't that lucky. For by the sound of many footsteps, the Lover pack was heading our way.

"Hide in a tree!" I whispered.

I was grateful that she was a fast climber. All of those years living on the streets really paid off for her. We wrapped ourselves in the leaves, I, for one, did not want to repeat the last time I ran into this group.

Glitterbomb strutted into the space. She had used a knife to cut her jumpsuit, so they were shorts. The idiot had risked freezing in the cold just to be more sexy. But she didn't care, as long as she still lured the men towards her. Colin wasn't with them, which I suppose I kind of suspected, as he did betray her, but then where was he?

"I've felt so... light headed recently." Glitterbomb signalled for one of the men to carry her, and so one of them immediately took her in his arms, shoving the other out of the way.

"Oh, poor, poor you." Aphrodite couldn't have said it more sarcastically. "Well, guess what? I've been light headed since I entered this damn arena!"

"Shut up, you fool!" Glitterbomb leapt out of the man's arms, to his disappointment.

"She's right, you know." Angelina stood next to Aphrodite. "You shouldn't have volunteered in the first place, sweetie, you clearly can't manage the conditions."

"I could kill you both right now! You know that, right?"

"You could, or you could get some of your guys to do it, since you are too lazy to do it yourself!" Angelina retorted.

"No wonder you haven't found Kayla yet!

"No wonder you couldn't kill Colin!"

"SHUT UP!" real tears went down Glitterbomb's face. "He tried to get her down to me, but she ran off. She'll die soon, anyway. Colin said that he had gotten close to making her foot go clean off!"

I wasn't the only one gasping slightly. He said that?

"He even said that he had wounded Lola Coin enough for him to wonder why she was still alive! Her was blood fully coated next to the heart, had it gone a couple centimetres to the left, it would've hit the heart and she would've died!"

Then it was Lola's turn to be surprised.

"How could I have killed him then? Go on, tell me, one of you, if you guys think you're so smart!"

As she began to sob, despite the con artist she was, I knew this was real. She did really love Colin, it wasn't fake. She had loved him so much to not be able to kill him. Only problem was, he did anything except love her back, especially when he lied to her to help Lola and I survive.

"But, I will kill Kayla! And when I find her, I will kill her in the most torturous way possible! Just you guys wait!" she stomped off leaving everyone else to follow her.

Angelina was about to do the same, when Aphrodite gripped her by the shoulder. "We're killing her, understand?"

Angelina nodded vigorously. "Of course we are."
