I caught the fall on my wrists, they hurt pretty much now. How the hell am I able to throw a knife like this?
I see a fire ball flying near my head. So that's the reason that Cato pushed me.
When the fire ball is gone he helps me getting up.
'Thanks' I mumble.
'Sorry...' Cato says.
'Let's move to the river, we can't stay here.' He says
'We never are going to split up again!' I tell him.
He just nods and we start running away from the burning trees.
I feel pain almost everywhere in my body. Sometimes it's just better to feel nothing, but I can't feel nothing right now. Every step I take hurts like hell.
'Marvel, Glimmer and that girl from 4 wanted you to die.' I say breathless.
'They what?!' Cato replies panting.
We both actually need a stop from the running, but we can't. If we stop, we'll die.
'They'll see when we arrive back at the cornucopia.' He says.
'I don't know where we will meet them again.'
Cato stumbles over a branch.
I turn around and keep on running backwards, to see if he fell down.
'Watch out, we're in a wood and it's burning down. There can be some falling branches!' I chuckle.
'Yeah, and falling tr- CLOVE DUCK.' He yells
. 'Ducks? In the woods?' I think.
Then I see a tree falling down above me.
I scream and try to jump away, but it's too late. The tree falls down on my leg.
'F*cking hell' I mutter 'It burns! Get this thing off me!'
Cato ran behind me.
'CATO, TREE!' I scream while I point with my free hand at the tree, who almost fell on him.
I'm not sure if it hit him or not, but he gets up again.
Why do these trees fall down! It's still burning at my leg, and I can't get it off me.
'For f*cks sake help me.' I say. 'I don't want to be a fire girl too okay.'
Cato stands next to me. 'Uh, I can't lift a burning tree. Sorry.'
'Well I can't lay under a burning tree, get that thing off me!' I whimper in pain.
'Clove, I. Can't. Lift. A. F*cking. Tree!'
'Then lift me' I dramatically put my arms in the air, like a little child who wants to be lifted up.
'Then I've got to lift you and the tree. I can't f*cking do that.' He shakes his head.
'Just do anything you can.'
My eyes fill with tears. What if I broke my leg? I can't break my leg in the hunger games. I just can't!
Cato sits beside me. 'If you are going to die, I'm going with you.' He kisses me on the top of my head and smiles slightly.
'No! Cato for f*cks sake one of us is getting out alive! Just help me getting this thing off me.' I say hysterically.
I try to kick the tree away with my other leg, while Cato tries to get my leg underneath the tree. What finally works!
Only I don't feel anything in my leg anymore. Well, at least feeling nothing is better than feeling too much!
I don't know how, but I can stand on it and just walk on it, but I don't feel anything. I'm sure my skin is burned under my pants, but who cares about some burns, and no feelings, I am still alive right!?
Cato lifts me, like I can't walk like this.
I'm sure I could walk, but though I don't hesitate about being carried.
I put my arms around his neck.
'I love you okay. I f*cking love you.' I mumble, loud enough for him to hear, quiet enough for any cameras who can film us right now.
You'll never know when they're filming you or not.
When we finally see the rest of the group Cato puts me down. I hobble while I lean on Cato.
Still not sure if I can walk on my own or not, but I don't doubt about any help now.
Marvel and Glimmer hurry towards us. 'Are you guys okay?' Marvel is shocked.
'Do I look okay?' I tell him.
'I told you to not go!' He rolls his eyes.
'Uh yeah about that..' Cato begins, but he is being interrupted.
'Look! There she is!' Marvel shouts at fire girl.
Who probably escaped from the fire too, and lays in the river now. Poor girl, she is going to die!
Marvel saved his own life with this interruption, I'm sure that Cato had killed him if he didn't saw her.
Cato sprints immediately towards fire girl, who runs away too.
We all follow him, even Peeta.
I try to run, what hurts now. I guess that this more looks like hobbling instead of running.
We run over the stones at the river, and suddenly Katniss climbs in a tree.
'Like that is going to help you out.' Glimmer shouts.
I thought that Fire girl was going to be scared, but she doesn't seem scared at all.
'How are you guys?' She asks us.
'Good enough' Cato yells to her 'What about you?'
'Personally I think it was pretty hot lately, up here it's way cooler! Are you coming too?'
Does she seriously think she is funny now?
'Good idea.'
Glimmer tries to handle her bow, but Cato refuses to use it. 'I can do this better with a sword.'
Cato climbs in the tree.
'Please don't let him fall. He's probably hurt too, from the trees and branches out there.' I think 'Stay in that f*cking tree and don't fall down.'
'I'm coming for you' He mumbles.
'Kill her Cato!' Glimmer and I yell, to support.
Marvel just stands there with a big smile.
'Come on Cato.' I say.
And then it went wrong, Cato grabs a weak branch, which breaks.
He falls down and lands hard on the ground. At least he landed, not like in my dream that I fell through the ground. But I'm sure he is in pain now.
Glimmer takes her bow and aims at Katniss.
She shoots an arrow, and misses.
Of course she missed! She is useless, as always.
She shoot another arrow, but misses again.
'Just leave her out there. She can't go anywhere right?' Peeta suggests 'We'll kill her tomorrow.'
I don't know why we agree with this plan. We still can kill her now right? Why are we giving up?
If my leg didn't hurt this much, I could climb that tree myself. I know it's useless to argue now, so I just don't say anything.
'Okay, somebody make a fire.' Cato finally says.
