Cato

Peeta, Lover boy, is good as dead. He's turning blue from the lack of oxygen. Katniss has her bow poised to shoot me. I laugh at her.

If she does shoot, and I go down, so does Peeta. I tell this to Katniss.

But, if I don't keep him alive, I can be guaranteed death.

Peeta reaches up towards my arm, but I don't care. He's too weak now. He traces something on my hand, but I'm not sure what. Wait… he drew… a cross…. an x.

Oh shit.

Katniss already has the arrow flying through the air. It comes in contact with my hand and I scream in pain and drop Peeta from my grip. We tumble backwards.

But Peeta gets caught by someone. Katniss.

No one catches me.

I fall and the mutts start to feast on me. The pain… it just hurts. Damn this body armor. And I can tell this is going to be a long night.

I pass out, slowly dying.
