He scooped me up in his arms and carried me back to the bed; he tucked me under the blankets and stroked my hair as I cried into his chest.
'Don't go, please don't go. I don't want you dying for me, please, I love you.'
'I love you too, that's why I have to go. I can't have you dying because of me.'
'Well I can't have you dying because of me. Even if you save me this time what if they only leave enough for one day what if they don't even leave anything and it's all just a big trick to get you to fight the others. What if you die for nothing but an empty sack or a syringe full of air or water? Did you ever think about that?!'
I sat up and fell straight back down as the world began to spin; Thresh caught me in his arms before I pushed him away and began to vomit. Every part of me stung, my muscles ached and my throat throbbed as everything came up that I'd eaten that day. The vomit mixed with my tears as Thresh stroked my hair and held it out of my face.

I heard a crash in the cave and sat bolt upright in bed.
'Shit' I heard Thresh whisper across the cave, he must have been trying to sneak out whilst I was sleeping.
'What the hell 11, you scared me half to death now get your ass back in this cave you aren't going anywhere!'
'Just let me do this Blondie, I love you more than anything and if I have to die for you to live well that's a price I'm willing to play.' I heard his footsteps as he walked over to me. He knelt down beside me and held my face in his hands; he kissed me softly on the top of my head. Then I felt him place something around my neck.
'Wha...'
'I'm giving you my token, to keep you safe and to bring you good luck just like it did with me. Without this I would never have met you.' He kisses me quickly before running out of the cave before I can stop him. I finger the crescent around my neck as I cry remembering that day by the carriages.

I was standing there when I noticed something shining on the ground; I bent down to pick it up and saw it was a crescent shaped necklace, the symbol of District 11. It was probably one of their tokens; I looked around for their carriage which was near the back.
'I'll be right back' I told the boy from my district.
'Where are you going? We're supposed to stay here; it's going to start soon.' He was freaking out.
'I'm not going very far, just over there I found someone's token and I want to give it back to them. I'll be back in a second.' I walked past all the carriages and all the tributes turned to watch, they were all glued to theirs and here I was walking away from mine. I wondered if it was against the rules but nobody stopped me so I kept going. When I got to the carriage for 11 I saw that the girl tribute, who was tiny and small but she was also already wearing a necklace made from grass around her neck, it must have been his. Perfect, I thought to myself smiling.

'Excuse me' He turned around to look at me, he raised his eyebrows when he saw I was a tribute and a half naked tribute at that. He couldn't talk he was dressed as a farmer in gaudy overalls and a wreath on his head, if either of us should be embarrassed it was him.
'What?' His voice was surly and coarse, he was the kind of person who didn't spend time talking just standing around and looking tough but his glare wasn't intimidating me.
'I think you dropped something 11. Is this yours?' I dangled the chain in front of his face; he lunged at it and snatched it out of my hands.
'Yeah'
'Ooh, feisty. And rude, haven't you heard? Snatching isn't nice. Tsk Tsk 11, learn some manners.' His face was priceless, I was probably the only person who hadn't run away screaming but had actually teased him but if I wanted him in my alliance I had to act like talking him wasn't scaring the shit out of me right now.
"Umm... sorry. You... you aren't scared of me?'
'What's there to be scared of?' I stood up on my tippy toes bringing my face inches from his and stared straight into his deep, brown eyes his eyes flicked down to my bright pink lips and he was edging closer.
'WHERE THE HELL IS 4, HOW THE HELL DO YOU LOSE A TRIBUTE?' A woman in black with a clipboard was freaking out near my carriage yelling at the boy.
'I guess that's my cue to leave wouldn't want to cause a scene, now would we?' A giggled and twirled in my heels and headed back to my carriage.
'Nice ass!' His comment stopped me dead in my tracks. It was the first honest thing someone in the Capitol had actually said to me.
'Nice hat.' I called and kept walking smiling to myself, I saw his reflection in the back of 9's carriage and he was smiling too.

'Sorry, I had to see a guy about a necklace. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble miss.'
'Just get in your carriage and stay there.' She walked off in a huff to check on the tributes from 5 and I couldn't help but laugh when I looked over at the guy from 11 as he raised his eyebrows and shook his finger at me.

I spent the day in and out of consciousness, I heard a cannon go off later that morning and I nearly died inside knowing that it could've been him. I heard screaming and footsteps in the distance and I hoped that he was safe. I passed out again soon after, I woke again when I heard someone in the cave, my eye sight was better and I could make out Thresh who was leaning over me as blood trickled down his face, he was pulled the needle from my arm and shoved something in my arms.
'Put this on, it'll keep you safe I heard them talking about it. I have to go he's following me, I have to keep him away from you.' He ran from the cave and I tried to stand and follow him but I was still weak and my vision blurred again and I stumbled forward. I heard someone screaming as the ripped through the field next to the cave, I scrambled backwards as Cato flew through the clearing in pursuit of Thresh.
'I'll get you for killing her you bastard, I will get you!'

I reached for what Thresh had thrown me and saw it was a suit the colour of skin woven tightly together, I ran my fingers over the fabric before pulling it on over my clothes; I grabbed my knife and stood slowly. I took a few deep breaths but the world started spinning again and I collapsed on the floor in a heap.

When I woke it was raining and I felt brand new, I didn't know how long I'd slept for so I grabbed a syringe from the case just in case. I stuffed food and medicine in a backpack just in case I never got back to the cave. I picked up my knife again and ran off into the rain. It didn't take me long to find them in the forest I could hear their screaming from miles away. I ran the rain soaking me through, as I reached a clearing I saw the boy from 2 plunges a blade into Thresh's heart.
'NOOO!' I screamed and the boy span round looking for where the noise came from. I threw my knife but it just bounced off his skin and I noticed he was wearing the same skin-coloured suit as me, so that's what it did. He picked up the blade and ran at me screaming, I rolled to the side and stuck out my leg tripping him. He fell to the ground with a crash making the whole world shake. He spun bringing the knife across my legs, the blade bounced off just as it had with him.
'How dare you wear that, it was meant for her. Your monster killed her.'
'Your right about him being mine but he is no monster.' I brought my foot up and slammed him straight in the nose and he went sprawling backwards. I kicked him again and blood spurted from his nose mixing with the rain, I tried again but he grabbed my foot and pulled me to the ground and I skidded across the mud. He stood over me knife in hand, pointing it directly at my face.
'Let's see you get sponsors without this pretty little thing.' I heard Thresh groan behind him and knowing he was alive filled me with new energy. As he plunged towards my face I grabbed his hand pulling him downwards the knife lodging in a nearby log and the boy fell face first into the mud. I slammed my foot into his ass pushing him further into the earth; he struggled to his feet before running into the trees.

I sank to my knees and crawled towards Thresh, his eyes flickering beneath the lids. I pressed my hands against the wound trying to stop the blood flow but he'd lost so much already.
'Baby, please stay with me. Don't leave me, I need you. Please.' I cupped his face in my hand keeping the other on his chest. 'Don't die on me not here not now. I need you, I need you. You're my everything; I couldn't have done this without you. All my life I was so scared of people seeing the real me but you see me and I'm not scared anymore.' I let out a sob as his body shuddered and his eyes stopped flickering, his breath which had been short and sharp just stopped dead, I could feel the warmth leaving his body.
'I need you please.'

Sadness, I literally started crying whilst writing this. The next chapter will be the final one :O but if I get enough reviews I will write a sequel, I have an idea in mind but I just want to be sure that people will actually read it. Some subtle ClovexCato shippiness in this chapter because I really think they should have ended up together. Please review, rate and favourite, it means a lot.
