Chapter 6

Adam's Point Of View.

The hovercraft's have came and took all the dead bodies by noon and we had gathered and stacked our supplies into a pyramid form by 2. Marvel and Clove where out hunting for us, Glimmer was being as snotty and whoring around between me and Cato who was swinging his sword around. I heard a rustle in the bushes and it startled me, all I knew whoever was there was about to get hit by my knife. I heard a gasp so I ran over to the noise. On the ground in front of me was Tori holding her foot in pain.

"I told you not to come back, I said if you did I would kill you cause your getting in my way." I said with a scary smirk.

She looked at me in utter fear "I wasn't coming back, I was just hunting. Adam you are not the same happy boy..."

"I know..." I trailed off and leaned in her ear so the capital can't hear "It's all an act, I can and never will kill you on purpose." I leaned back. Great the Capital probably think there's something going on between us. Just then there was a thump on the ground next to me, I look up. Cato.

"Talking to your kill Adam." Cato asked.

"No I'm just telling her if she doesn't want to die, she would leave."

"Well looks like she wants to die then." He said lifting his arm to swing his sword.

I stop his arm as Tori flinched.

"Save your strength for a more worthy tribute like thresh." I said, he nodded and walked off.

Tori stood up eyeing me. "So your their captain?"

"No, Just telling them to let you go, Try to do something that will get you people to help you. Now go." I said pointing to the wood.

She smiled and hugged me tightly, I kissed the top of her head. "Good luck." Thump

I look over and see a silver thing with my name on it, I pick it up and open it.

"Good work keep it up Adam, your getting Tori some this cream to Tori.- Effie

"Well looks like you got some sponsors." I chuckled, and handed her the cream. "Put this on the wound and I think it helps heals it."

"Thank you." She took it and limped off into the woods.

When I got back to the Cornucopia Marvel and Clove are just emerging from the woods.

"What'd you guys get." Cato yelled.

"Rabbit, fish, frog. Even caught a couple birds." Clove said holding up birds.

"Good." He said.

I walked and sat down behind the Cornucopia, I laid my head on the warm metal. Jeez the suns been out all day. I closed my eyes and let the sun hit me. After I felt a presence next to me.

"Glimmer please leave me alone." I said assuming it was her.

"Sorry but she's too busy trying to get Cato's attention." Oh it was Clove.

"Good." I open my eyes and look at her. Her attention is straight for the woods where Katniss ran off into.

I grabbed Clove's hand "You must really not like her."

"I don't like her, I hate her. She got an 11 whistle I got only a 10." She complained.

"Sounds like Clove has a new rival."

"Shut up." She said with a small smirk.

"Okay, but small question?" I asked her.

"Hm?"

"Why do you act so laid-back and less stressed, kinda carefree?"

"Um..." She started "Well, I don't have a reason to right now. You and Cato have the protection covered, Glimmer is doing whatever she wants, Marvel is inspecting the weapons."

"Oh. So that leaves you free?" I chuckled.

"Well not exactly." She leaned in and pressed her lips to mine. Well the Capital know but not the tributes.

I deepened the kiss by bringing her closer to me.

"Adam! Clove!" Cato yelled it sounded right besides the Cornucopia.

We pulled apart and sat back trying to hide the smiles as he walked by. I knew my face was a bright shade of pink.

"What's wrong with you." Cato said looking at me.

"Just an embarrassing question." I said. He raised an eyebrow in a confused look.

"Yup, don't know why boys are so embarrassed about the question." Clove said.

"Well come on, I fixed the food."

We all went and sat down around the fire and ate, we were quiet but it was a peaceful silence. the sun had started to go down by the time we finished eating.

"Cato you want first watch or do you Marvel?" Glimmer asked.

"Ill take it." Marvel said. We nodded.

We all grabbed our sleeping bags and laid down.

"Glimmer you have second, I have third, Clove and Adam have fourth." Cato said.

"Why are Clove and Adam Watching together?" Glimmer asked.

"Glimmer just go to sleep." Me and Cato said at the same time.

I turned and realized how far away Clove was to me, maybe I should move closer to her, but before I finished my thought I fell asleep. I woke up 2 hours later and Marvel was still on watch. I sat next to him.

"What's up Marvel?" I asked.

"Watching an empty field of grass." I laugh at his remark.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" he asked.

"I couldn't for some reason."

"Hm...Maybe if you go lay next to Clove. She's shivering, like she's having a nightmare." He said not taking his eyes off the forest.

I had an erge to go and get her just then but I held it back for a couple minutes.

"I have to go." I said getting up and moving to Clove. She's still stirring in her sleep.

I kneel next to her and shake her awake.

"Clove, Clove!" I whispered.

Her eyes shot open and she grabbed onto me. She looked at me with a feared then relived look.

"Your not dead." She said with a happy smirk.

"Nope, hold on." I Smiled at her then left to go get my sleeping bag, then I laid it next to her.

I got in it and turned to face her, I grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently.

"We can't do this every night you know. The other's will suspect something." I said to her.

"I could care less about what the suspect, the only thing that worries me is Cato." She said.

"Why?"

"He likes me, since a week before the reaping. I got reaped and he Volunteered instantly for the men. Just so if I die he won't have to live If I die." She said saddened.

"Oh..."

She kissed my cheek and fell asleep "Night."

I watched her breathing even as she fell deeper into sleep. The fire trickling and The sound of the woods made me think I was where the old church was, the peaceful sounds, made me fall asleep.

Chapter 6 done! next chapter 7 will be about them hunting down Katniss in the woods.
