There wasn't much damage when Clove had stopped the digging.
"Wait- stop!" Cato burst out. He ran to Clove, kicked her away and grabbed her dagger.
"There are more ways we can go about this, you guys! You don't think slowly cutting into this piece of filth is going to satisfy the Capitol, do you?" He asked the group of Careers. They muttered different responses but had the general "No" in common.
"That's right. I think we should let Marvel have a turn at Everdeen" Cato smirked at Marvel, then winked his eyes right at me. What was that supposed to mean?
Marvel had a longing expression on his face when he walked slowly towards my laying body. He bent down and came to my face. He gently smelled me, and then twirled my hair around.
I saw his muscles flex, and then he ripped out some of my hair. I screamed. The pain lasted long after the impact hit me.
I opened my eyes to allow some tears to come out and from the corner of my eye I saw Peeta thrashing about in the strong hold of Cato.
"Hey, Glimmer?" Marvel finally spoke. He still had his eyes on me with that longing look while speaking.
"Yeah?" Glimmer replied.
"I was thinking, you think you could help me with my bow and arrow practice?"
Glimmer's face lit up as she understood what Marvel was leading at.
"It'd be my pleasure" She had the largest grin of her face. I was still trying to comprehend what was about to happen. All this blood loss and pain that I was focusing on, the future didn't matter to me.
Marvel stood up and pulled my hair up so I'd stand with him. My bad leg didn't want to stand so I fell limp, but still raised up because of Marvel's hold on my hair. It pulled and pulled, the stinging pain coming and coming.
He dragged me to the tree that I had fallen out of. Glimmer threw some rope to him and Marvel did his job.
He tied some rope to each of my wrists and tied them to some branches that were high up so I was in an "x" position. Glimmer grabbed some more rope and tied my ankles to the tree trunk so I would try anything sneaky: Like I could in my state of health.
Glimmer grabbed her bow and arrows and handed them to Marvel. And now I understood what was going to happen. I was their target for target practice.
"Now, you just want to hold the bow at a straight angle and latch the arrow on the bow's string. Then pull back and shoot!" She said enthusiastically. She obviously couldn't wait until the result of Marvel's first shot.
I shut my eyes tight as I heard the pop of the arrow coming off of the bow and it made its impact.
It sunk deep in my shoulder. The pain was like nothing I've ever experienced. It went through a few inches through my touch skin and bones.
"Great job! Time for more!" Glimmer encouraged Marvel.
The arrow was stuck in my shoulder and my blood came out more and more each time I'd breathe. I was beginning to see darkness when I saw Marvel position the next arrow.
