"Did you hear that cannon?"
"No, Marvel, I'm deaf. Of course I heard it"
"Who do you think it is?"
"I dunno, I hope it's that fire girl though"
"Yeah me too. You know what would be cool"
"What?"
"If those two district 12 rats turned on eachother"
"Idiot"
"What did you call me?"
"Idiot. You don't seriously think that they would turn on each other do you?"
"No, but I wish they would"
Gale mouths something to me. He motions his hand over his mouth saying to be quiet and follow him. We creep along the forest floor to attempt to get away from the careers. We soon reach thinner bush, so we stand up and start to run. It's not that easy to be quiet while running in a forest, so the careers hear us and are hot on our tails.
"Hear that, come on"
"Haha, time for some fun!"
I think it's sick, how can they enjoy killing people? I can just imagine how proud their parents must be. Their precious, killers for children are this close to winning the Hunger Games. We're sprinting now, but the careers are just as fast, they're catching up.
"Uuugh" I fall to the ground as my left foot gets caught on a sticking up root.
"Catnip! Are you alright?" Gale asks worriedly
"No. I think I sprained my ankle, I can't walk" I start to sob. I'm gonna die.
"Here" Gale leans down and wraps his arms around my waist "I'll carry you"
"No" I slap his hands back "I'm not letting you risk your life for me"
"Please, Katni-"
"No! Stop it! You need to go, NOW!"
"Kat-Katniss, I love you" Then he presses his lips against mine, for one last kiss. Almost as soon as it started, he ended it. Then dashed off somewhere close into the trees.
"Uuugh. Where are they?"
"Stop whining Marvel"
"Stop whining Marvel"
"Don't mimic me, at this point I'd rather win with that district 12 guy"
"So cocky"
"Shut up! What's that over there?"
Dang it. I moved over into the cover of some bushes to try and conceal myself, making a lot of noise in the process. I curl myself into a ball hoping to make myself less noticeable. Clove and Marvel have begin walking over to my bush. Dang it, they must have seen when I crawled under it and jiggled the bush a little.
"Well, well this is going to be so fun" Clove chuckles as she towers over me, with a grin spreading on her face. Marvel is standing behind her smirking away.
"What happened to your partner? Is he gone? Well that's just too bad..." Marvel says with a fake, dopey smile.
Immediatly after he said that, Gale jumps down from a nearby tree and tackles Marvel to the ground. I watch in awe as he delivers multiple punches to Marvel's face. I don't get to watch for too long because Clove pounces on me, pinning me to the ground
