Finnick POV
We continued to walk for a while, with Henna moaning and complaining about everything. Then suddenly we were surrounded by these bird things. They were as tall as an average man, and were covered in grey feathers, but had the head of an ass.
"You have betrayed your country, abandoned your District in a time of grief and now you shall die" The strange creatures say in deep, powerful voices all in unison
"What? No please, take my sister...she's absolutely wicked" I try to get away but something is shaking my arms, holding me in place
"Get up, Finnick. You must leave now"
"No, I don't want to leave, get away from me!" I thrash around and try to get of the grips that keep on shaking me and saying things like "Get up you, idiot" I punch one and I'm able to move around more freely.
Suddenly a hand slaps me across.
"What?" I shoot straight up and head-butt my dad "What's going on?"
"They've been trying to wake you up for the last 5 minutes" Henna snaps from where she's sitting. Now, I remember, last night we settled down in the middle of the thick forest and set up a camp. The wilderness was changing a lot once we had started heading away from district 4. At first there were a lot of tropical trees and fruit bushes and the air was light and smelled of sea salt. But then the forest began to thicken up and the palm trees jungle like landscape turned into pine trees and it began to have a rocky landscape and the air turned thicker and smelled like smoke.
In fact at one point during the night we saw smoke bellowing up into the air and right before that we heard something that I'm guessing was an explosion. I have a feeling we just walked into a new district.
Clove POV
On the outside, Cato is a shell of a person. He has a fierce temper, and is the most intimidating person I know. He never has anything nice to say, and is extremely cocky. First look at him, girls usually fall head over heels for him. I will admit, he is a very attractive person, but just not my type. His beautiful icy blue eyes seem to mesmerize you, and his dirty(literally, he hasn't showered in days) blonde hair, naturally falls over his forehead making him look extremely charming and seductive. His body's not something to scoff at either, his muscles literally bulge and the smallest flex and he is really tall which is one of the reasons everyone is so afraid of him.
But once you get to know him, you realize there's more to him than a hunk of muscle and good looks. He is very passionate about certain things, his siblings being one of them. Catri, Calam and Cilt were the only people Cato loved, truly. He despised his father, he never cared about his children and thought they were a waste of skin. What a hypocrite. He abused his children, well tried to. Cato protected them the best he could, along with his mother. But when they were in the bedroom, there was nothing he could do. He loved his mother, but thought of her weak, for not leaving their father when they had the chance. He could never love her or care about her they way he should, after she let her own children get beaten to bloody pulps. That's why, Cato's so protective over his brother and sister. He swore he would never let anyone hurt his siblings again, he told me that last night. Even all of his girlfriends he didn't love, there wasn't enough room for him to show true love to his many girlfriends. That's why all of his relationships lasted less than 3 months. That and he trained to hard to commit to a relationship, but still made sure he made all those night dates...
But he does have some flaws, his temper is really short and he over reacts about everything. He's also very spoiled, his dad was one of the highest in respect in his job, managing peacekeepers. He never had any shortage of anything, money, training, respect,...girls. That's why he's struggling in this point in his life. He's been getting frustrated with the lack of, well...everything. There hasn't been many animals to kill, and the terrain has been thinning and not many rivers or trees are growing where we are right now. The kids have been complaining and I can count every one of my ribs. My eyes look hollow I'm sure, and there's no fat left on my body, for me to live off of. We've been portioning our food and water, but unless we find some food source soon, we're going to die. And that's exactly what we've been running away from.
It's ironic really, we've been training our entire lives. Just to fight to death in THG. Just to bring even more pride to our district, to kill innocent children in a game. We've been training for death ever since we were kids, training to bring others to it. But just as we were about to face death straight in the face, we fled. We fled like cowards from those poverty stricken districts, 11 and 12. We fled like we were small children. Scared and frightened. We went agaisnt everything we were trined for. Fight, until you last breath leaves your mouth. Never turn, but stay and face the horrors that lay ahead. Stay true to your word and never run, never...run.
