Chapter 7

Adam's Point Of View.

I awoke by being kicked hard in my side, hard enough to make me gasp for air.

"Get up 13." Cato said. His eyes showed either anger and jealousy or Anger and Sadness. All I knew was that there was some anger in them.

I nodded and looked around, Clove was talking to Glimmer whistle Marvel had an evil look on his face talking to the boy from 3.

"Sorry. I missed my shift, What's got you in a bad mood?" I asked jokingly.

"I would think you already know, Since Marvel told me everything, you told him."

"What did I tell Marvel." I got up and stood wearily.

"He told me all about you and Clove, how your secretly together, how you knew I liked her and still took her." Cato said about to hit me.

I flinched when his fist made a smacking sound, but it wasn't again my face or body. But a hand. Clove's hand.

Cato eyes softened as they met Cloves.

"What are you doing?" She asked him throwing his arm down.

"We were playing around, brotherly love Clove." He said, there was a sharp pain that caught me by surprise almost making me double over.

Clove's eyes looked my way before shifting back to Cato's.

"Touch him again, And you will be missing your life." Clove said to him.

He nodded then grabbed his sword. "We hunt for 12 today, she is our biggest threat."

We nodded then grabbed our weapons, And headed into the forest. About 1 hour into the walk and I heard a noise from above.

"Shh" I signalled. I pointed up. Everyone looked up, 12.

"Well if it isn't the 'girl on fire', where's your flames 12." Cato taunted.

"Maybe you should look in your heart." She started to run in the trees.

We chased her until she finally settled in a big tall tree. Clove tried climbing it and got pretty far until she grabbed the wrong part and fell. Cato caught her then tried himself, again he fell and injured his arm. I moved from between Marvel and Glimmer and tried, I got about two inches below her when a sickle hit the tree right next to my hand. I almost let go but I grabbed the branch she was on, I was about the lift myself up when she stepped on my hand causing me to go crashing to the ground. I was hurt but I manage to get up.

"Let's just wait her out. She'll have to come down sometime."

Cato nodded and stabbed his sword into the ground. Glimmer tried to shoot and arrow but failed horribly.

"Glimmer you can't shoot for shit." I complained.

"Like you can do any better." She said.

"Let me see it." I reached for it.

She pulled it out of my reach. "No it will be a waste of Arrows."

"Or you know I have a better shot at hitting her."

"Shut up Adam!"

"No Glimmer! Admit it!"

We argued for a while until Marvel and Clove stepped in.

"Both of you SHUT UP!" They yelled. Marvel pulled Glimmer away and Clove just looked at me.

"Cato knows." I whispered "Marvel assumed and told him."

"Figured he'd catch on soon." She sighed.

"What now?" I asked.

"No point in hiding it any more, just don't make it too...lovey-dovey." She said.

I nodded "Any restrictions?"

She shook her head no. She started walking away. I grabbed her shoulders and turned her around.

"What have your nightmares been about, you've had them ever since we got together." I asked concerned.

"Just fear of the games getting to me." She said walking off.

That's part of it but not all of it, She'll tell me when she's ready. I sat next to Cato.

"What's the time?" I asked.

"Late noon, Why?"

"It should be dark soon."

He nodded "No one needs to watch tonight."

I nodded "Have you seen the boy from 12 or the 11 girl?"

He shook his head no.

It was beginning to get dark about an hour later, Days sure are short but the nights are long as hell.

We had all got ready to go to sleep, Glimmer cuddle Cato's arm, Marvel holding on to his spears, and Clove on my chest. Capital might think it's strange, Hell I think it's strange but it feels so natural Like she's not a killer or it's not that I could die any second or that anything could happen. I waited till everyone was asleep before I though about letting my eyes close. I woke up in the middle of the night to A sawing noise, Tree dust fell on my face. I wiped my face with my free hand and looked up. Katniss was sawing a branch that looked like a bee's nest.

I shook Clove awake and told her to look up. Her eyes widened and just as I was about to wake Cato. CRASH!

The nest comes flying down and breaks, tons of wasp fly out stinging us. I drag Clove in the opposite way than Cato. We went North, Cato went South and Marvel went East.

I only got stung like twice while I don't think Clove got stung once since I was behind her the entire time. Most of the wasp went after Cato. Then the Cannon Boomed.

It was Glimmer It had to.

We reached a small river and jumped in it. The wasp hovered over the river for a couple of seconds before disappearing.

Clove and I emerged from the water and laid on the ground. The stings aren't bad, one on my neck and one on my arm. I looked over at Clove who was breathing normally.

"Did they sting you?" I asked.

"Nope, Here." She said sitting up and pulled out the stingers. "Leaving the stingers in will led to infection."

"Well thank you doctor Clove. How may I pay you?" I joked.

She rolled her eyes and pulled me to her, I kissed her lips, this lasted for a couple of minutes until she pulled away, but only because the anthem played. We looked up to see what tributes died today.

Glimmer, The girl from 8, the anthem goes off and they show the symbol of the capital then the sky goes normal.

Clove looks at me "We should uh...Sleep?"

I nodded in agreement. We walked over to a hidden area and Clove laid down. I had to pee really badly so I left to a tree a little down. I heard a dripping noise, after I emptied my bladder, I went to see what the noise was and it was a cave.

I walk back over to Clove. "Hey come on, there's a cave over here." I grabbed her hand and led the way.

We came to the cave and Clove went in to see if anyone was there... Empty.

"Nice looking. This is where we stay until later in the game." She said.

"You calling shots now?"

"Well I'm the only one with brains." She teased.

"Not funny, at least I can get some." I teased back.

She climbed on me and straddled my waist, she had my arms above my head.

"Is that a sexual note?" She asked smirking.

"It could be." I grinned.

"Very funny." She said sliding off of me and laying on the ground next to me.

"Night Adam." She said closing her eyes.

"Night." I looked at he ceiling, it had a crack in it where you could see the sky. Well theres' one way to see who died.

Let's see who have I killed? The boy from 9, the girl from 7 and helped kill the boy from 5. Man am I ruthless. I smiled to myself, wait I shouldn't be smiling. I almost killed Tori. Tori I have no idea where they are, I hope there okay. I really do. I really want to see them again but if I do I have to kill them. Well I don't have to.

I looked over and saw Clove sound asleep. I couldn't get any sleep. After what seemed hours the sun started to come up, and I was so tired. I closed my eyes and finally fell asleep. A couple of hours later there where 2 cannons going off. Clove was nowhere to be found.

"Clove!" No one answered as I yelled out the Cave wall.
