Chapter 11
I wake up just as the sun is rising. I wash my face and pull back my hair and soon wake up the others. We eat a light breakfast and head for the cornucopia to see a table rising from the ground with 4 bags, District 2, 10,11,12. Without a word I run into the field and grab my bag and check inside 11 and 12. 11 needs weapons and 12 needs medicine… he's dying. I snatch the medicine and the weapons out of their bags and zip them back up and run to were Cato and Clove were hiding. I look at the medicine, works instantly. He's dying fast. And Weapons, Thresh's good with strength up close but at a distance with my knives. Hes screwed. I watch as Clove runs out into the field as Katniss does and tackles her. Clove brings a knife to her lips and begins to saw them off, taunting her about how Marvel killed Rue. I looked away for a moment to grab a knife when I turn around to see Thresh smashing Clove into the cornucopia side. She called for help, Cato and I ran out there. Cato threw himself at Thresh, punching him in the face, breaking his nose, cracking elbows. I ignored them and watched Clove as she died in my arms. Her gong went off. I cried out and saw Katniss getting up to her knees, holding her hand to her lips to stop the bleeding. I grabbed her legs and pulled her to the ground, pulling out a small dagger I had in my boot and stabbing her in the legs, climbing on her back and soon stabbing her over her heart. Her gong went off and so did Threshs. I looked over to see Cato looking down at Clove's body. " I knew there was no way we could all go home" At the moment he said that we both attacked each other, I grabbed my knife and slide it across his arm, his chest, face. He somehow threw it out of my hand and shoved me against the cornucopia. "Only one will win. Fame and fortune. That's me!" He screamed. This was tricky. "Fame and fortune what's the point, you have nothing else to go home to," I say as I pull my knees to my chest and kick him off as hard as I can. I get on top of him and pin both his arms down with my knees and a knife to his neck. "You think I want to kill you! Cato, you're like my brother! And I just lost Clove! She was like my sister! I have no family, I thought I did but District 10 hated me! I don't want to kill you but I will! I need to live. Because I'm afraid I'll see my dad in hell… I am a monster. Just like him" He strokes my cheek, smearing blood. "We're all going to hell. We're from District 2." He jokes and I give a shaky laugh. I hear a gong in the background. "I'm sorry," I was about to press the blade of the knife down when I heard the announcer scream "Ladies and Gentlemen our winners of the seventy fourth Hunger Games Cato and Sophia! District 2 and 10!"
A helicopter comes above us, I get off Cato and help him up. We stand there confused, shakily stepping onto the ladder. We lift off the ground and the ladder is pulled into the Helicopter. There a bunch of people with dyed skin of purple, blue, yellow, green. Freaky colors that kind of scare me push us apart into different rooms. I scream for him. "No! Get off me! Cato!" But they sedate me and I fall into unconsciousness.
I wake up in my old room when I was in the capital for training. Oh god I'm back! I get off my bed quickly and run around my room, looking through my closet, seeing new cloths, I go in the bathroom seeing new makeup. I start to hyperventilate but soon my old designer comes in. I don't know why but I hug him. "What's going on?" I ask, almost out of breath. "You put on quite a show missy. I knew you were fierce but that… best show ever!" He said escorting me to the bathroom. I sat down and looked at him nervously. What was going on dammit! He began doing my make up as usual, acting like everything was normal. He put on tons of red and blacks on my face smearing it over my eyes. I was grand, strong, beautiful, deadly. They dressed me in a tight dress, a corset that really pushed my boobs up that had tiny bows that tied the sides together but still showed a little skin. It had a short scrunchy silk skirt that stopped at my thighs. Randomly placed where bright red feathers that went with my sexy foot curving red high heels. My hair was pulled up in an intricate bun that had red rubies hidden in it.
He smiled at me when he was done and helped me walk to the elevator. Before he left me to go down by myself he handed me a picture of Rye I got in the Arena. I smiled and thanked him. I looked at it the whole time, I had killed her brother. But she loved me more,
it didn't matter. And if she used me it really didn't matter. I cleared my head and threw the picture to the ground as the doors opened. I'm getting a new life.
They called my name up to the interview stage and that's where I saw him. Cato, dressed in a sexy black tux with a wide open white v-neck with a bright red flannel and then his black blazer. He was so sexy! I ran to him, jumping on him as he twirled me around. The moment we touched I couldn't help it, I kissed him. I pulled away slowly as he sat me down on his lap. I turned to the crowd with a huge smile on my face; they were all cheering for us. Of course they were. We were victors!
"Welcome back," Cesear smiled. "Told you I'd be back," I said. "But this time there's two of you!" "I guess we were too good," Cato stated, trying to hide a smile. "I'm surprised how relaxed you are. She almost killed you." He laughed "She's a vicious killer alright especially in the bedroom," The crowd cheered and I smacked him on the shoulder playfully. "I trust her though," he added looking at me kindly that it almost broke my heart. I leaned in and kissed his cheek. "You better," the crowd burst into tears from laughter.
We were the talk of the Capital, talk of Panem actually! We were now boarding the train for our victory tour but President Snow stopped us to say goodbye. This was a very big honor, he rarely leaves his stuffy office, usually only to go to his rose garden. "See you guys next year," I looked at him "What do you mean, I thought you told me we weren't having our agreement?" he smiled "We aren't. This was the crowds' wants. We are bringing all of the favorites back at the quarter quell next year. Be prepared," His smile was evil as he waved to us and the peacekeepers shoved us into the train. I looked at President Snow angrily. No I'm not coming back, I was done. I won my fame and fortune now I get to live in peace! The door closed and the last thing I saw was the white rose in his chest pocket.
