Quite the eventful night. After finding Peeta and torturing the girl who I think was from district 8. I don't care, lets just look at it as one less tribute we have to kill. I was the first to wake up taking in my surroundings. Last night, Cato and Glimmer decided to have us all sleep in tents at the Cornuccopia. I thought this was pointless since Cato and Glimmer were the ones to share a tent together. Oh well, relationships don't last together for long in the hunger games. I shared one with Clove who looks like she will kill you in her sleep.
I am suddenly feel someone shaking me as I open my eyes and scream. My eyes meet with Cato's icy blue ones. He lifts me up and says:
" You and Clove are going out to hunt for food. When you get back we are going to spend the rest of the day in the woods hunting for more tributes".
Clove was ready with her various assortment of knives. She hands me my trident and some more knives and we run off. Once we are around three miles away from the Cornuccopia, we stop and look around for some animals. I saw that a knife is grazed in a squirrel thanks to Clove. As we are doing so, I start asking random questions.
" How is life like in District 2. Did you and Cato know each other before the games" I ask out of curiosity.
She turned her head around and faced me. Of coarse she didn't look too interested but she spoke.
" There is a lot more to the District than just masonry and kids training. It is truly a stressful life to be honest. Yeah, we may have great living conditions, but there is a fine line between those who become peacekeepers and those who work in the quarries. The peacekeepers and the wealthier families that really push their kids to go into the games, are the one's living the stereotyped life of District 2. But the quarry workers like my dad, don't".
" What about your mom" I ask hoping not to make things to personal.
Clove continues " My mom died when I was five in an accident. Things went down hill from there my dad lost a lot of money and if it weren't for a good friend lending us money, I would of never gone to the academy. The academy is where I met Cato, although he is a year ahead of me, we were always in the same training group. Some past victors also trained me as well".
Our conversation ended shortly, noticing that the others would be concerned if we were gone for to long. It is truly interesting hearing another perspective on life. I have always thought that life in districts like one and two were glamorous and everyone was rich. But glamour isn't the word to describe Clove's life.
Cato, Glimmer, Marvel, and even Peeta seemed impressed with the amount of squirrels and rabbits we killed. At least we know know that were stocked on food.
" I think we should all go hunting know, it has been a few hours after all" Glimmer barked.
" Oh please if it weren't for your pretty face I think Cato would of killed you already" snapped Clove.
Rage got between the two. Clove would give Glimmer constant death glares, while Glimmer lunged at her. Of coarse, she would make the same puppy dog eyes at Cato as if there was no one else around.
A few hours later, a forest fire was put in by the gamemakers. And as always they don't make it easy. at every angle you could imagine the fire would cut in trying to surround us. At least none of us had any severe burns. Marvel burned part of his hand and my arm got ahold of the fire. We were out of that area and approaching a river. It is there where I spotted a brunette girl with a braid. Holy crap! It's Katniss.
" Look there she is, it's Katniss" I screamed.
Everyone cheered which made Katniss even more startled. Running at full speed the whole career pack stopped as Katniss climbed a tree.
" It's not going to help you up there Katniss" screamed Glimmer.
" I'm going to get you" muttered Cato climbing up the tree.
" Come on kill her Cato" screamed Clove at the top of her lungs, followed my Marvel, Glimmer, and I in suit.
About half way up there, Cato falls and a huge Thump! on the ground. Frustrated, he takes Glimmer's bow and arrows and shoots at Katniss. He missed which put a smile on Katniss's face.
" Maybe you should throw the sword" she yelled from above.
" We should wait her out. I mean she has to come down at some point. It's either that or starve to death, we'll kill her then" Peeta broke the silence.
For a moment, we all looked at each other taking in those words. Cato finally spoke:
" Alright then, somebody make a fire" Cato said in defeat.
" AHHHH" were the screams made the next morning when we were startled but a bunch of painfully stinging wasps.
Damn Katniss is all I thought. She always will find a way to kill. Too bad it was her tree's wasps that didn't attack her. Oh well.
Meanwhile, Marvel shouted "TO THE LAKE" over the scorching screams. I turn around to notice that Glimmer fell and was being stung numerously by wasps. I knew from then that she was gone. Clove, Marvel, and I were on are way to the lake soon followed by Cato. I don't know what those wasps did but my vision is very blurry and I am seeing things that I can't tell that are 3D or not.
When we got to the lake. I harshly collapsed, not knowing what is going on around me.
