Alice found Cato and Daffodil both in Daffodil's room the next morning but she didn't say anything. Secretly, she found it cute. The way he was holding her close to himself with both his arms wrapped around her and the way she was snuggled up into his chest. The blanket covered half their bodies. Alice sighed when she saw the smiles on both of their faces. Sweet, worry-free smiles. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Cato stir a bit. She watched as his eyes slowly fluttered open as he rubbed them. He looked down and saw Daffodil hugging him around the waist but very much asleep. He smiled and kissed her head before closing his eyes again as his arms tightened around Daffodil. Alice sighed again and walked out of the room. Tubletin met her in the hall. "I can't find Cato. He's not in his room." Tubletin's voice was worried. Alice smiled before opening the bedroom door slightly and gesturing for Tubletin to look inside. He looked and smiled while placing a hand on his mouth. "Aren't they adorable?" Tubletin asked. Alice nodded before closing the door lightly. She pulled Tubletin into the TV room. "Let's give them some time." She said.

Daffodil dressed slowly and stepped out of the bathroom in black trousers, a black t-shirt and black boots. She felt her way to the door and walked into the dining room. Everyone was present as she slipped into her chair. Cato wore a red t-shirt with black trousers and the same boots. He smiled at Daffodil and kissed her forehead as they started breakfast. There was complete silence at the table. Tubletin was trying to keep his tears from falling and Alice was in a sorrowful mood. She hated this. Neither of the two innocent teenagers sitting in front of her deserved to die. She was just a blind girl and he was just a misunderstood guy. Neither should be worried about dying this early in their lives. Alice hugged both of them and kissed their foreheads when they got ready to board the hovercraft. Daffodil was seated across from Cato who made sure she was wearing her belt and was comfortable. The woman came and asked for Daffodil's hand. She felt the tracker go inside her but was surprised to feel no blood. Cato kept an eye on Daffodil the entire time. When they got off, they were separated. Siberius met Daffodil before she entered the glass tube. He helped her put on a black jacket and then he slipped something around her neck. It was a necklace with a green four leaf clover on it. Daffodil fingered it with a smile.

"It's for luck." Siberius explained and Daffodil nodded, "Thank you." He tied her long hair in a braid, hoping it would not be the last time he would get to make her hair. Siberius kissed Daffodil's forehead. "You'll do great sweetie." He whispered. A mechanical female voice came on.

"30 seconds till the Hunger Games begin."

Roli, Rola and Rolis entered the room and hugged Daffodil while wiping their tears. Roli clasped another necklace around Daffodil's neck. This one had a heart on it with the three girls' names engraved on it. "Good luck." Rolis said and the other sisters whispered the same. Siberius took her hand and led her to the glass tube.

20 seconds.

Siberius squeezed her Daffodil's hand one last time as the glass tube closed around her. She looked at him as a single tear fell down her cheek. The platform under her started moving up and she clutched the two necklaces. Suddenly, Daffodil was hit with a gust of wind. She realized that the Arena was a forest as she heard the birds chirp softly and another light breeze hit her. Cato let out a sigh of relief when he saw her. She was only two people away. Daffodil tilted her head slightly to the side as if sensing that Cato was near. The mechanical voice came on again.

Cato sprung into action. He ran to the Cornacopia and grabbed a sword. He flung it behind him and sliced the tribute from District 9's head clean off. The bloodbath had begun. Barely twenty seconds into the Games and Cato had already killed four tributes. It was fast, and it was easy. That's when he spotted Daffodil. He quickly ran towards her but just as he was about to reach her, an arrow whizzed past and ran through Daffodil's arm. She clutched it and fell to the ground. That's when Cato got angry. He turned and pushed the sword through the person's chest. The tribute fell and Cato wiped his sword on the dead tribute's shirt before turning to Daffodil. He helped her up and gently pulled the arrow out of her arm. Most of the surviving tributes had fled and only the Careers were left. Chase, Maya, Glimmer and Marvel stood scattered near the Cornacopia. As he was helping Daffodil stop the blood from her arm, Cato heard a small clatter come from the mouth of the Cornacopia. He saw a flash of black and clutched his sword. Daffodil's expression turned into a confused one as she heard Cato leave. Yep, just as he had predicted, a tribute was hiding in the Cornacopia. Cato smirked as he thrust the sword into the tribute's stomach. He heard Glimmer laugh behind him and Marvel snicker. Cato walked back to Daffodil and rolled up her sleeve to help her with the wound. But Daffodil stopped him. She placed her hands on his face and lifted it. "Cato why did you do that?" She asked. Cato was surprised she had figured it out. "Because he was meant to die." He answered. Just then the familiar 'boom' went off to indicate the end of the bloodbath. The four other Careers gathered around the two of them. Marvel chuckled. "I killed at least four tributes. This was so much fun."

Glimmer laughed again. "I know." She squealed. "I killed like three. It was awesome."

Daffodil frowned. Were they calling killing awesome? How bloodthirsty were they?

"I killed three too. But by then my sword was drenched in blood." Chase said. "How many did you kill?" He asked Cato. Cato smirked. "I killed seven. Bet none of you can beat that."

Daffodil gasped. Glimmer squealed in delight. "Wow!" She exclaimed. Daffodil could not believe this was happening.
