Hey People! Thanx for the reviews! Just a small reminder, my new book has started, the 72nd Hunger Games, and it has an awesome twist! Pleeeeeeeeeeze read!

Clove's P.O.V

I lived.

And I owe Cato my life. Well, not really, because he's the one who killed me, I guess.

Cato smiles at me and I smile back. I've missed his goofy grin. I love Cato. But I can't tell him until I trust him. It's unfair. Things could have been perfect.

I feel my head, and wonder how the hair could have grown back so easily. Capital wonders, I guess.

"I MISSED YOU CLOVE!" Rue screams into my ear.

"Shout much? And keep your voice down, someone could hear us!" I whisper.

"Don't worry. It's only Foxy." Cato says

"Foxy?" I ask

"Ginger haired girl. From 5." he says, absentmidedly.

"Are you okay Cato?" I ask.

"Yeah, you've been acting weird all day." Rue accuses.

"Yeah, fine." he murmurs, looking away.

I roll my eyes at Rue, and stand up.

"Come on, I'm bored. 2 days lying around, of course I'm bored!" I sing, jumping around.

"Alrighty! Partypooper, you stay here!" Rue squeals.

Cato growls at her.

"Ooo moody!" I tease, and jump off the side of the Cornucopia. "Race ya to the lake!"

"You're on!" Rue yells, and she sprints off.

"You sure you're okay?" I ask Cato.

"Yeah. Go have fun." he says, without looking at me.

I run after Rue, overtaking her easily, and dive into the lake.

It's so cold.

Rue's P.O.V

I see Clove coming out of the water, shivering. Wuss. I jump in, and my muscles simply stop working. It's so cold.

I'm sleepy.

Cato's P.O.V

Something is wrong. The three of us can't win. Only one can. Killing Foxy will be easy enough, but Rue? Clove? Clove doesn't want me. Rue isn't much to me. I could kill them. Pride of the district, and all that.

But I know I can't.

I must banish these thoughts from my mind. Clove and I will always be together. Whether she wants me or not.

We'll go to the grave together.

Clove's P.O.V

"RUE!" I shout, and dive into the water again. She's sunk. I swim downwards, trying to spot her, but I can't. The lake has turned dark and murky, and it dosen't taste right. I understand. They're trying to split us up. They are killing Rue.

I wave my hand around, and grab something solid.

I haul it upwards, swimming until I see light. It was Rue I grabbed. I pull her to my chest, and sidestroke back to shore. It's so difficult, and I'm sleepy.

"CATO!" I scream.

Cato's P.O.V

"CLOVE!" I yell, and run towards the lake. These games aren't fair. I know they aren't. This isn't right. Clove's been in danger too much for a career. They're rigged. I gasp as I come tp grips with the reality. Something needs to be done.

As I reach the lake, I see a small patch of ice drifting around the lake. Clove is attempting to swim to shore, but she's been in too long. It doesn't help she's dragging Rue. I race in and swim out. But it's freezing. I want to sleep. But I can't, not now.

I grab Clove's hand and pull her with me, while she gasps for air. When we arrive at shore she lays Rue down.

Rue's cannon sounds.

"NO!" Clove screams, and begins pounding her chest, getting fiercer.

"Clove, she's gone." I whisper.

She looks at me, her eyes blazing with fury.

"DO SOMETHING! YOU SAVED ME! NOW SAVE HER!" she shrieks.

"I can't."

"Well I will." she opens Rue's mouth and blows air into her chest. She shakes her head, blinking tears away, and pounds her chest again.

I hear a small breath.

Rue sits up, slowly, and coughs up A LOT of water.

"I'm thirsty." she complains, and I laugh. Clove stares at me, her eyes narrowed.

"That was no fun." Clove whines, and she begins to laugh.

We walk back to the cornucopia. Clove carries Rue, who is too weak to walk. I swing my (spare)sword around. Clove just rolls her eyes.

"She's heavier than she looks, you know."

"I can hear you." Rue yawns.

"Always sleeping..." I mutter, and Clove laughs.

"Always with a cocky tone..." she mocks.

We continue this game until we get back to camp, getting dirtier and dirtier. Thank goodness Rue went to sleep.

I move our tents on top of the Cornucopia, and the girls share with me. We were to ' guard eachother ' but we all just sleep. I don't think it matters. Oh well.

Hope you enjoyed? Please review! And may I recommend this author, .7. Pretty good for a newbie to the site. I enjoyed it :)
