This is it. The final Chapter about one of my favourite characters Cato. I took on board what you guys wrote in reviews and I've decided to write the movie death for him. I would've written the book version but Alexander did a brilliant job of Cato and his final speech so I had to write about it. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
My eyes widened at the sight in front of me. There stood a group of what looked like wolfs but were probably a mutation made by the Capitol. One came close to me and I examined it. These mutts looked like they were a mix of wolfs and another creature of some form. Something was almost human like about these creatures though. Their eyes. I stared into the deep brown eyes of the creature in front of and was about to run when I saw the number 2 imprinted on the mutt in some kind of stone. That's when it hit me. This mutt looked like a wolf form of someone I knew. Someone I never thought I'd see again. Someone who I loved dearly. Clove.
Her mutt lunged at me and it was then that I decided this mutt couldn't actually be her. I got up straight away dodging the attack and darted towards the cornucopia as right now that was probably the safest place to be. As I entered the clearing I realised I was the only one here and I quickly climbed the Cornucopia so I was now on high ground. Once on the roof though I fell to my feet panting for breathe from all the running.
That's when I heard them. It wasn't the mutts that were running and panting for breathe but instead the district 12 tributes. My only opponents left. When they had both made it onto the roof of the cornucopia neither of them had seen me yet and I took this opportunity to go in and attack. I threw myself at Katniss and grabbed her when I felt Peeta try to hit me so I aimed a blow at his chest and hit him.
I turned around again quickly to attack Katniss again when Peeta managed to lift me and swing me around so I was now facing him. For some reason he thought he could take me on and he threw a couple of punches at me as he tried to wrestle me. He was strong but not strong enough and I managed to wind him. I got up and saw that he was doubled over in pain clutching himself. Katniss then tried to attack me but I was quick and I grabbed her and pushed her over to the edge of the roof of the cornucopia.
The mutts were scratching at the wall of the horn as I grabbed Katniss by the neck and started to push her over the edge. I was about to throw her off when once again Peeta started to wrestle me. He was weak though and in a matter of seconds I had him in a headlock as Katniss stood there staring at me and him with a loaded arrow aimed at me.
"Go on, Shoot, then we both go down and you win. Go on, I'm dead anyway"
Looking at the situation I was in I realised what I had just said was true. Whatever Katniss did now there was no way I'd make it out of here victorious. Ever since the opening ceremony when Katniss and Peeta outshone me and Clove I always knew that she was the one to beat. It wasn't until now though that I realised that I was always going to die.
"I always was right, I didn't know that til now" Then it clicked. I was just another piece in the Capitols games. "How's that, is that what they want, huh" I shouted as I looked up to the sky. When I looked back at Katniss though I was shocked. She still had her arrow aimed at me ready to kill. Why couldn't I kill though? After all I had been training for these games my whole life.
"I can still do this" I shouted and then repeated whispering as I tightened my lock around Peetas neck. "One more kill, it's the only thing I know how to do, bring pride to my district, not that it matters"
And with that Katniss let go off her arrow and it pierced my right hand. It wasn't that arrow that killed me but what was to come. I suddenly released Peeta from my grasp and he used this time to kick me and throw me over the edge of the cornucopia. I fell on the ground and a soaring pain went through my body. But it wasn't the fall that killed me nor was it the mutts that were now tearing and eating away at my flesh. Instead I plead for Katniss to kill me as I screamed Please. She knew what I wanted and she took another arrow out of her sheath and released it as it went straight threw my heart killing me instantly.
My name is Cato Carson and I volunteered as the male tribute for District 2 in the 74th hunger games. I grew up believing that the games were something to be proud of, it wasn't until my last few moments that I finally saw the games for what they really were. A sickening game to kill 23 innocent children all for the pleasure of the Capitol.
That's it. Dead Hearts is finally finished. I want to say thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed this story it means so much to me that you guys actually enjoy this. I'd love it if for one last time you could review and tell me what you thought of this chapter and the overall story.
