"RUN!"
I jolt awake, my dagger in my hand ready to throw. I see Marvel pointing at the mossy ground several feet away, where a huge trackerjacker nest has fallen. A tidal wave of large wasp like creatures hurl not towards us, but towards the still sleeping Cato and Glimmer. I should be reasonably happy as its a way to kill Glimmer without being looked down upon by Cato, but the risk is too big that Cato may not survive aswell.
"CATO! CATO!" I scream, and he stirs. My arm is throbbing as the trackerjackers leech onto me, but I will never forgive myself if I don't save Cato. I lurch towards him, shaking him as he becomes aware of what's going on. He springs up, pulling Glimmer's arm as she takes in the situation. I turn around, my legs like jelly and head towards the lake, where my burning stings can cool. Marvel is already in front of me, carrying the supplies with him. I may not like his sister tribute, but he seems like a reasonable human being. It will be a shame when I do have to end him.
Peeta must have taken this disaster as a chance to run off, as he is nowhere to be seen. We will find him though, and this time we'll finish him off for good. He won't get far, he'll be stung aswell, and he has virtually no supplies except for the flask of broth.
I feel my body shutting down, but I am full of adrenaline and I need to keep moving. The Katniss girl is more of a threat than what I had first thought, but she succeeded in her mission to get us away. If I wasn't so weak, I would go back and finish her off, because she must have got injured herself. My mother used to say, a weaker target means a greater gain which I used to think was a load of rubbish - if your opposition is weak, it will be considered an easy job. But now, that girl will deserve everything she gets.
Ah! My skin throbs with relief as my stings get the water they so desperately needed. Me and Marvel strip, we lost our dignity the minute we entered the arena. The stings on my arms have swollen to the size of a prune, and the pus inside them is starting to ooze out.
Then we hear it. The ear piercing scream. My mind is all over, the trackerjacker venom seeping into my skull, so I can't work out who it is. I pull out of my watery paradise and stumble into the forest, desperate to find Cato. I see him, walking into a tree trunk, and drag him towards the lake.I won't look for Glimmer, she deserves the pain she is most likely getting. We bask and Cato looks at me straight in the eyes. I try to fight back a smile as he tells me:
"She's dead Clove. Glimmer's dead."
