Chapter 37

I throw a questioning look at Rhett, and he just looks back at me helplessly. He doesn't know what I am asking; he doesn't know that I don't remember these people. I am trying to calm down so that maybe their names will come to me, but it's just not happening. I can't calm down, and their names won't come.

"Run?" Rhett mouths and I shake my head. We should finish this here and now, and I'm too close to wait.

They emerge from the stream, and I decide to meet them at the bank. I pull Rhett up and we emerge from the tree line.

"So nice to see you, Lily my love." The boy says, I remember seeing him in my memories but I don't remember his name. He had betrayed me to the Career pack; I know that for a fact. Or do I? I'm not sure what I know right now.

"I wish I could say the same," I snarl. I guess I'll just try to avoid saying any names.

"You remember Lavender, don't you?" He asks innocently, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her into a kiss.

"Of course I do, you little man whore." So that's her name, Lavender. I just need his name.

"I would prefer it if you called me by my name, Lily. Throwing around nasty words like that isn't very nice, after all." He quickly limps over to me and grabs me by the shoulders, holding me close. He's handsome, I have to admit that. He has bronze hair, tanned skin, and chiseled features. He's not who I want, though. Before I might have wanted him, but now the only boy I want is Rhett.

Rhett begins to advance on him, but I signal for him to back off. I dive into a memory, and I remember everything this boy has done to me. His name is still a mystery, though. "Looks like today is going to be the second day that I touch you in your little special place. I sincerely hope that it doesn't bring you any pleasure, because it sure will bring some to me." I knee him in the groin, hard. He grunts in pain, and backs up, stumbling over one of his legs.

He lands flat on his backside with an, "Oof!" and I can't help but put on a smirk. The girl rushes over to him and shouts at me, "You little bitch! Smooth! You just had to go and hurt him like this, didn't you?" A memory drags me under, and I remember the Opening Ceremonies and how she treated me on the first day of training. When I come to Rhett is holding me up.

"What's wrong with her?" Asks the boy.

"Who knows, she always has been the type to fall over."

"Bitch," I mumble under my breath, taking my weight off of Rhett and standing on my own.

"Me?" He whispers back, and I can't help but smile.

"No, but you know they will be going down soon."

"Yea, it was kind of expected."

I rush at Lavender, taking out my knives and ignoring the splitting pain in my knee. I tackle her and wrestle her into a kneeling position. I rest my knees on her calves and hold her arms back with one of my own. I use my other hand to press a razor sharp knife against her throat. She doesn't know what's going on until it's too late, and starts to shriek, "ALEXANDER! HELP ME!" So that's his name.

He just sits there, eyes wide as he looks at me about to kill her right there, just a few feet to his side.

"COME ON! HELP ME ALEXANDER! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME!"

"Bitch, please. You're ugly and nobody likes you. I was just hoping that you would kill Lily over here for me, she's the only real threat left."

She starts shrieking out a string of cuss words at him, and I can't help but laugh like a maniac. It's just too ironic to pass up. A girl is about to die and he still doesn't care, he just wanted her to do his dirty work for him.

"Do you even love anyone but yourself, Alexander?"

Lavender is still shrieking, so he can't hear me. I am starting to get annoyed by her, and I would have needed to do this later anyways. I slit her throat quickly, and let her silent, ragdoll body drop to the ground. Alexander's eyes grow wide as her cannon goes off, and I say, "Let's go for a little walk. Come on Rhett, Alexander. Keep up."

Alexander goes first while Rhett and I keep an eye on him from behind. We are walking side by side, and I'm just wondering if it's bad that I'm getting a bit of joy from this. I feel the blood lust rising in me from killing Lavender and I can't wait to kill Alexander. I can't wait to hear another cannon, and I can't wait to know that it's from me. Rhett keeps glancing over at me with a worried expression, and I don't know what that's about. I start shoot him annoyed looks, so he tries to be a bit more inconspicuous when he looks at me.

Eventually Alexander stops and turns around. "What?" I ask him roughly. I can taste his blood already.

"Can I talk to you, Lily? In private?"

I'm about to say no, but then I catch Rhett looking at me worriedly again. "Sure."

Alexander leads me off a small distance from Rhett and says, "Come on Lily. Don't you feel anything between us? You don't love Rhett. You love me, and I love you. Don't you remember?"

I give a bark of a laugh and say, "Do you love anyone but yourself?"

"Yes. You."

"Wh-"

"Remember how we used to be? Comforting each other, helping each other, we even kissed."

"No, I don't remember ever kissing you." Crap, I just let him onto me. Maybe he didn't notice…

"What do you mean, you don't remember? We kissed several times."

"I remember, but I just meant that, um…"

His mouth curls into a wicked smile, "You lost your memory, didn't you?"

"No."

"Prove it."

"Fine."

"What's my last name? What's the name of the girl who you volunteered for? Who is your best friend back home?"

"Um… Uh, I volunteered for… Breeze Climpf… And um…"

"You don't remember anything. You did lose your memory, Lily. Then how are you sure that Rhett doesn't want to kill you and that I'm your lover?"

"Because, he told me. He helped me remember."

"What if he planted those thoughts and false memories into your head?"

I fall silent, because I think I believe it. My blood lust for him fades, and turns to Rhett.

He takes my hands in his and says, "Come on, Lily. We can be like we used to. You have wanted to be with me your entire life, and I wanted you to be with me."

I stand there pondering my options while Alexander and Rhett both stand within my line of sight. Rhett is looking so worried, staring right at me. Alexander is looking deep into my eyes, looking for any sign of the previous me. I don't know what to do, who to choose. They both seem so nice right now… I'm not sure I can trust my memories, because Alexander might be right. I'm not sure if he ever really betrayed me. Rhett might have planted them into my thoughts, but who knows? Alexander might be lying.

They both seem like liars to me right now, and I'm thinking of just killing them both and winning for myself when Alexander easily picks me up and throws me. I scream, for lack of something else to do, and I see where he was aiming. I land and start rolling extremely fast into a deep ditch the size of the wetland arena.

By the way, Alexander figured out that she lost her memory so fast because he's a good guesser. Jk, lolol. It's because he knows her so well and stuff.

Oh snap, shit's about to get real. Throwing people into ditches, tsk tsk.

Well there's only one chapter after this and then the epilogue.)':
