'One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. Please baby please wake up.' His lips were still blue and his heartbeat was fading but I didn't dare to give up on him, the cannon hadn't sounded yet and until I heard that blast I wouldn't even begin to consider that he could die. Tears streamed down my face mixing with the water from the lake and the blood from the monster smeared across my front, I tried to fight them back but I couldn't, Thresh wasn't allowed to die.
An explosion echoed across the valley and I could see and smell smoke furling up from behind the field but I didn't stop, if something was coming to get me I didn't care, he was all I cared about and nothing would stop me from saving him. 'One, two, three, four fiv...' A stream of water shot out of his mouth into my face, he began to choke, gag and gasp for air as his eyes flew open. I rolled him over onto his side as he continued to vomit up lake water and stroked his hair, crying with joy that I had brought him back.
When the retching subsided he turned back onto his back still breathing heavily, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest.
'My hero.' He wispered in my ear, his voice hoasre and cracking. We lay on the floor holding each other until Thresh stared at the sky and saw the mass amounts of smoke closing in on us.
'What happened?'
'I don't know, there was an explosion and then there was smoke but I only cared about saving you.'
'Let's go check it out.'
'It could be dangerous and you're still recovering.'
'Still it's better to know what's out there than to just think about every possible tragic scenario.'
'I'll go you need your rest, I'll be back soon.'
I crawled on my stomach in the dirt at the edge of the wheat field and peered through the grain, pulling my damp shirt over my mouth to prevent myself from inhaling the smoke. The field next to the Cornucopia was ruined, charred rubble was strewn everywhere and I could see the girl from 12 crawling slowly into the bushes on the outskirts of the forest seconds before the tributes from 2 and 1 charge into the clearing. Cato the boy from 2 drops to the ground and begins to beat his fists and rip his hair out of his head whilst the others stand amazed at the sight of the wreckage. The boy from District 3 throws stones into the ruins and yells something about mines which draws the rest nearer and they begin to search amongst the rubble, after a while Cato turns on the boy from 3 and begins to shout at him, saying it was all his fault. The boy from District 3 only has time to turn and run before Cato catches him in a headlock from behind. I can see the muscles ripple in Cato's arms as he sharply jerks the boy's head to the side.
I crawl back to Thresh who is lying in the cave sleeping, he chest moving slowly up and down, his eyes flicker open when I enter.
'What happened?' his voice sounds weak and fragile and it brings tears to my eyes.
'Someone or something destroyed the career's food supply, the guy from 2 killed the boy from 3 because of it. Something about faulty mines or something. I saw the girl from 12 crawl into the forest seconds before they arrived back at their camp which makes me think that she had something to do with it.'
'Good, if they don't have any food it won't be long before they're out of the game as well and then we can finally be together.'
'Yeah until we have to kill each other.'
'If you say that again something bad is going to happen to you, understand?'
'Perfectly. You know they say love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but ultimately trusting them not to. Do you trust me?'
'Absolutely Blondie, Absolutely.'
Okay, yeah it's short but I felt like I had to post something this week. My computer's being a bitch lately so it's harder for me to post and to write chapters but I'm pretty sure it's all fixed now YAY! Please review, rate and favourite, it only takes a second and it means a lot. :)
