Revenge
Here is a very short chapter. I just thought I would give you a little taste of Thresh`s death and my new plot twist :)
Thank you soo soo much for all the awesome reveiws. Sorry writing this took me soo long.
Red rain, all is red. Red rain pours down around me. Red trees sway off in the distance. My feet travel over red dirt and red grasses graze my sides. Red lightning sparks over head and a red sky covered in red clouds pours red rain down around me. All red in my mind, plus the craving for Thresh dead. I need revenge for Clove at least I will have that when I die.
I trudge through all red. I follow the path Thresh took, using my senses to find him. I curse loudly when I stumble over a rock. I barley feel the rain pouring down around me. I barley feel that my clothes are plastered to my chest and how I am soaked to the brim with red rain water. I only really am aware of one thing red revenge.
I smile when I see footprints in the red mud. "Gottcha now" I say under my breath. I faintly hear footsteps up ahead it sounds like someone is running. "A LITTLE PUPPY AFRAID" I scream out, the footsteps get faster, and he must be running faster I guess he heard me. I stumble along sheathing and unsheathing my sword. I don`t think of anything but red revenge.
'Revenge revenge' is what I chant over and over in my head. 'Red revenge, bloody red revenge' I chant. "Cato" I hear the most wonderful voice in the world say. "Clove" I say while turning around. "Cato" she repeats dancing around me. "Clove I love you" I say, flinching when an evil look crosses her face. "Revenge Cato" she says "Revenge kill, revenge death". I frown 'Clove" I say. Clove starts to disappear "DONT LEAVE ME CLOVE" I scream but she is already gone. "Revenge Cato" I repeat out loud "Revenge kill, revenge death". This leaves one though in my mind red revenge.
I break into a sprint, trying my hardest to find Thresh. He will die if it takes away my last breath, if it kills me. I will avenge Clove`s death if it is the last thing I do. I know I won`t give up until Thresh`s blood is on my hand, not until Thresh`s cannon sounds. I trip over a rock and fall flat on my face. I hear a laugh and I look up to see Clove towering above me. "Get up silly" she snarls all smiles vanished from her face. "You need revenge you need to kill" she says before disappearing again. I jump up and continue walking, trying my hardest no to give into tiredness and thirst. I eventually take a break chugging back as much water as my stomach can hold. "Revenge" I hear someone snap from behind me. I whip around to see Clove standing with her arms crossed, anger glinting on her face. "Move, kill him" she snarls before disappearing for the 4th time today. "Who you talking to" I hear a quite female voice say. I turn around to see the girl with fiery orange hair starring at me.
"Clove" I say likes it's obvious. "Clove is dead" she replies recognition on her face. "You must be insane" she says "you can see it in your eyes. I look more closely at her. She is soaked with red, he cloths are plastered to her body, she is soaked to the bone and shaking like there is no tomorrow. I just realize that it is still raining. That thunder rolls ahead and lightning still streaks across the sky. "I can help you" she says a grin on her face. "I loved my district partner like you love Clove. Thresh killed him when he was trying to get away from the cornucopia. I want him dead." I ponder the option for a moment "Sure" I finally say while nodding my head "What's the plan?"
I listen intently to the plan. "Well I have aliened myself with Thresh; he set me free that night. Okay he is meeting me at camp. You follow then I distract him and you attack" she says with an evil smile. 'have you been planning this all along?" I ask. "Yes well I though Clove would help I didn't know she would die" she replies. I nod "okay" I say "Let`s go".
I stumble along behind the girl whose name I found out as Mia. "Mia" I say, slowing to a stop "We have been going all day. How long does this take?" she stops and looks over her shoulder at me. "It tttakes a bit longer ttto get to cccamp" she says her teeth chattering from the cold. She then looks forward and continues, walking at her fast walking pace. I frown and open my mouth about to protest; I decide against it and follow Mila further into the field.
We walk until night starts to fall. Mia stops abruptly and a huge grin makes its way onto her face. She turns to look at me with a finger on her mouth. With her other hand she points behind her. I look over her head and see what I have been waiting hours to see. I squint through the rain and make out a giant hut a few feet from where we are standing. "Let's go" I say. "Kay" Mia replies before dropping to the ground on her stomach. I follow my lead and copy her every move, pulling myself forward with my arms.
We eventually reach the edge of his camp. I can even hear snores coming from inside the camp. Mia smile and stands up, brushing mud off her clothes as best she can. She motions for me to stay put before walking into the camp. 'Thresh" I hear her say. I have to hold myself back when I hear his sleepy reply "Yea Mira". 'the anthem is about to play" she says, and right on cure the capitol seal appears in the sky and the anthem starts to play.
I watch as Thresh stands up, turning away from me he watches the sky. "You killed her and him" Mira says. "Him?" Thresh says confused. "It doesn't matter" I hear Mira say before she blows a whistle as loud as she can. I take that as my signal and I quickly unsheathe my sword. I stand up and lunge, knocking Thresh to the ground. "Run Mia" I chock out, Mia nods and takes off back the way we came.
