Boom!
There's debris in the air, debris from the pile that the boy from 2 instructed me to guard. Debris by my feet that I can't get rid of, debris that shall be my downfall.
I try to run as far as I can but I can't, there is too much rubble to navigate through. So I try to hide, but she sees me.
Clove - the monster's district partner, and his closest companion.
I freeze and the look in her eyes tells me to not disobey her, so I follow her to the boys. Well, I expect to see the boys, but I can only see one myself. Maybe the boy from District 1 is guarding the boundary, or maybe he is hunting tributes.
If I thought that the girl was angry, I obviously wasn't anticipating the boy's reaction fully. He stares into my eyes and I can tell that he can see all of the fear that I presently feel. Clove is smirking in the background.
I see the boy from 1 in the distance for a moment but I don't dwell on it, he seems slightly calmer than the other two do so I can't let him concern me right now.
"Tried to run, Cato," she sneers, and she pushes me into him.
"We wouldn't have wanted that, would have we?"
"Not at all." For a minute I think that he is threatening her too, that she is genuinely scared, but then I see her face and I realise she is only joking about, that she is fine. Well, that's one of us. Shame it isn't me.
I try to wriggle out of his tight grip, but this seems to annoy them both. Clove kicks my left leg so hard it stings and she starts laughing manically. "I think he's done everything he's good for now, don't you, Cato? Personally, I think we should just kill him..."
"So do I," he says with the angry glint still in his eye. "You or I?"
"You can do it. Take out all... your... anger..." she spits, and I brace myself for when he chooses to spear me.
"Fine by me." His grip crushing my body is replaced by hers, seemingly to stop me escaping, but he stands still before me rather than taking out a weapon. Then, his hands reach my neck and he twists.
The crack of my own neck and the cackles of the monstrous duo are the last thing I hear as my limp body hits the ground and I force myself to take my final pained breath.
