Cato pulled Daisy closer, holding on to her as if she was his life. But then again, maybe she was. There was no one else in the world. It was just him and her, together, like they were supposed to be. Cato lifted her face and kissed her. His lips felt perfect on hers and he was gentle. It wasn't like the kisses he had shared with other girls. Because those kisses were plain, ordinary and without fireworks. This one was to tell her how much he needed her. How much they belonged to each other. Cato didn't know how long the kiss lasted but when they pulled apart, they were gasping for breath. He bent his head to kiss her again but she put her finger on his lips. After a while, she placed her lips gently on his and they kissed again. Cato had never been this happy. He felt complete for once in his life. This time, the kiss lasted longer. When they broke apart, Cato placed his forehead on hers and smiled. Daisy looked into his blue eyes and smiled back. They held each other and looked into each other's eyes. Daisy had never seen more beautiful blue eyes and Cato had never seen warmer brown eyes. Daisy closed her eyes. She let her face fall on Cato's neck and she kissed it as Cato smelled her soft hair. They were lost in their own world. Their own perfect world.

Clove lifted her knife a bit higher and got ready to throw it. Suddenly someone's body crushed onto hers. She fell back on the ground as Thresh loomed over her. He picked her up by her collar, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Don't you dare try to hurt her." He scowled. Clove looked at him with wide eyes. "I wasn't trying to hurt her!"

"As if." Thresh sneered. He wasn't going to let anyone kill Daisy. She didn't deserve to die; she was too young, too full of life. And she was his only friend. Thresh pulled out a long knife. Clove's eyes widened more and she tried to get out of Thresh's steel-like grip. Thresh gripped her shirt collar tighter as Clove struggled to breathe.

"Cato!" Clove yelled. "Cato!"

Cato heard her screams and turned around. He saw Thresh and Clove and he grabbed his sword. "Shit." He mumbled as he ran towards the two figures. Daisy's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. She ran after Cato. Thresh pushed the knife into Clove's stomach and she fell.

Boom.

Cato saw her fall and he gritted his teeth. He turned towards Thresh.

"No! Cato no!" Daisy screamed.

But it was too late. Cato thrust the sword into Thresh's chest. He pulled the sword out and Thresh fell. Daisy's eyes filled with tears and she pushed Cato aside. She knelt near Thresh and felt his heartbeat. He was still alive.

"Thresh? Thresh?" Daisy called. Thresh opened his eyes slowly and coughed; blood came out of his mouth. "Flower?"

"Thresh it's going to be okay. Look I'll make you some ointment." Daisy said desperately, trying to stop her tears.

"Promise... Promise me you won't die." Thresh managed to say.

"I promise. Come on Thresh, keep breathing. You can do this." Daisy encouraged as tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"Promise me Rue will get home alive. She's too... too young."

"I promise Thresh." Daisy held Thresh's hand as it began turning cold. She shook his arm.

"Thresh? Thresh?" Daisy said.

"When you go... go on the tour, meet Rose. Tell her I loved her." Thresh's eyes began to close.

"No Thresh, Thresh you can live. Come on I'll get you some ointment. Please don't die."

"Everyone has to die. Flower, tell Rue that she is meant to be the Victor. She might... might be small but she's an amazing... an amazing fighter." Thresh chuckled a bit. Daisy just kept nodding. His head fell to the side and his eyes fully closed. Daisy's eyes widened and she shook Thresh gently.

"Thresh? Thresh?" Her voice was barely a whisper and she was crying.

Boom.

"No. No Thresh no. Not you. Please not you." Daisy whispered as she buried her face in her hands and cried. And she kept crying as Thresh's body was lifted. Cato bent down near her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him and his heart broke at the sight of her tears. Her eyes were swollen and she was slightly whimpering. Cato wrapped his arms around her and she buried her face in his shirt as more tears ascended down her cheeks. Cato let her cry. They sat there silently, Cato remembering Clove and Daisy remembering Thresh. Suddenly, they both heard a scream. They turned their heads towards the sound as another scream filled the air. Daisy heard her name. She quickly got up.

"It's Rue." She said and started running in the direction of the scream. Cato was right behind her. Daisy heard Rue screaming her name. She ran and ran until she came across a tall tree. Rue had a net over her and she was crying. Daisy fell on her knees and started undoing the ropes. She freed Rue, who jumped on her. Daisy pulled her closer and tried to calm her down.

"It's okay Rue. It's okay, you're safe." Daisy said soothingly and rubbed Rue's back.

"D-Daisy, I want to go home. I miss Mommy and Daddy." Rue whispered. Cato looked away.

"It's going to be okay. You'll go home soon." Daisy reassured.

"Daisy do you miss your mommy and daddy?" Rue asked. Daisy continued rubbing her back.

"I don't have a daddy." Daisy answered and Cato frowned. "But I do miss my mommy."

"What happened to your daddy?"

"He died, in the games. Two months before I was born." Daisy smiled sadly. She pulled out her locket and opened it. "This is my dad and mom." She showed Rue the pictures. Rue smiled. She seemed to have calmed down. "Your mom is very pretty. You look like her." Rue said and Daisy smiled. Daisy pulled Rue closer and rocked her. Cato saw the tears in Daisy's eyes. He turned suddenly when he heard a noise. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Marvel. Cato heard Rue's whimper and he turned around. Marvel's spear ran through her stomach, and Daisy stared in horror at the spear. Cato threw his sword right through Marvel, slicing him. He fell onto the ground.

Boom.

"Rue?" Daisy said as she began to cry for the second time. Rue collapsed in front of Daisy. Daisy pulled her onto her lap. "Rue, please don't leave me." Daisy whispered. A tear slipped down Rue's cheek. "Daisy, can you sing?" Rue asked. Daisy nodded. She began singing in a soft voice. Rue smiled sadly and looked up at Daisy as another tear slipped down her cheek. When the song finished, Rue's head fell on Daisy's lap. Her eyes went blank. Daisy laid her head on Rue's cheek and cried. Cried for the younger sister who she had just lost.

Boom.

Daisy kissed Rue's forehead and closed her eyes. She placed her softly on the ground and got up. She started picking white flowers. Cato watched as she wiped her tears and picked more flowers and then started crying again. She sat next to Rue and placed the flowers around her. In the end, she took a small bunch and put them in Rue's hands. Throughout, she cried. After she was done, she sat and stared at Rue's body, her tears increasing until they blinded her. And then she screamed. She let her sadness and pain and hurt ignite the scream. Cato pulled her into his arms and she screamed again, crying and just wanting the nightmare to end. She screamed twice, wanting the Capitol to know how much she hated all of them. Cato pressed her against his chest, holding her tightly as silent tears ran down his own cheeks.
