(Vince Boot, Boy from 4's POV)
It's midday, and I'm skirting the outside edges of the mall. Since I joined the alliance, I haven't been fully trusted, and food is scarce. Ella said that the Sears in the mall was likely to have a little food, and other tributes probably wouldn't be hiding out in it. But in case they were, I was instructed by Clare to guard the door outside. About ten seconds after I find the right door, someone comes bursting out. I had no idea who it was, and even though I wasn't attacking, the figure punches me in the nose.
"Ow!" I hold it. I glimpse up, and I see my attacker. The girl from 12. I can't remember her name, but it was something like Melissa or Maggie. She is also holding something. She cradled her hand, grunting in pain.
"Let me see that?" I ask, extending my hand for hers. She looks me over quickly, stopping for a moment at my dripping nose.
"No." She says, and runs. I start after her, before realizing that it was rather useless. She thinks I'm a career. I technically am, being from District 4, but I left the alliance. She didn't know about that. I don't have time to go over any more thoughts, because I hear shouts and footsteps coming from further out in the parking lot. Then a cannon. The Careers! Runs through my mind. I look around, and see the parking garage. I run, and dive under a car just as the pack comes near.
"You sure, Milo?" Says Margarita. "Two hours ago you said you spotted Delilah, but it was just a manikin."
Milo paces the ground. "Vince was here. I saw him." I inhale sharply. Someone heard it. I start to panic, but then I remember my still dripping nose. I rub my fingers in the blood, and smear it over my body. Someone is nearing me. I try to go pretty limp, just as Mary bends down to see me.
"Found him!" she calls to her pack-mates.
"Huh... Guess the kid was right." Margarita says as she crouches down.
"Is he...?" Milo asks and screws up his face.
"Nope." Mary drags me out from under the car by the hood of my hoodie, and I try not to wince. "Come on, V.B." She uses my childhood nickname as she kicks me hard in the side. I groan.
"I wonder who beat him up..." Nathan thinks aloud.
I think. Can I play this out right and get away with my life? "Madge..." Her name comes to me. It was the truth, after all.
Margarita scoffs. "She hadn't ever held a weapon before being reaped."
Mary looks up at her. "I don't know..." She shakes her head. At that moment another cannon goes off, and screams come from the mall. Everyone looks towards the sound, where several tributes come running out of the mall. Basically, my alliance and another group of girls. Clare, while running, stabs one of the other girls, who drops to the ground.
A roar sounds from inside the mall, and I know it can't be good. "Mutt!" Yells Mary.
"Run!" Commands Margarita, and they all start sprinting to the cornucopia. I realize how bored the Capitol audience had to have been when I see the monster.
A/N: Here's a longer chapter for you! :) So, thanks Butterflygirly99 for reviewing! I will try to update a bit more often, but so long!
