Chapter 8

Adam's Point Of View.

Where did she go? Did she go off and find Cato? I was running frantically, for no reason known to me. What if one of the damn cannon was for her? Just than there was another Cannon. I was running when I saw something hanging in a tree. I didn't know what or who it was, so I walk closer to it. The body was mangled and twisted, sliced and chunks missing from their leg. The closer I got the more Clearer it got. The 13 on her ripped shoulder. It was too tall to be Tori, My eyes started watering and I fell to my knees. I've never cried so hard in my life, I was screaming and throwing things. Damn it Drew! He couldn't even take Care of his ex. Who did this to Katie? I heard a deep voice...Cato.

"How you like my art 13? Isn't it just beautiful. She had a nice body too. She felt so...Good." He said circling me dragging his sword on the floor.

"You FUCKING SICK BASTARD!" I yelled running at him. He pushed me back down.

"Whoa 13 wouldn't want to get tired would you? Be too weak to fight, be an easy kill. I don't think you want to leave Clove all alone? No, you wouldn't. But I would!" He yelled cutting me on my arm, not deep but still stung.

"Why'd you do it?" I asked.

"What? Put her in all this pain? She deserved it, she killed Marvel, just because he killed little 11. You people are such suckers to little kids."

"Your sick, I thought you were different."

"You mean at the Capital? That shit was an act, this is the real me. The strong ruthless killer from 2. That's why I'm going to win."

"So your going to kill Clove?" I said knowing it would hurt him "Even if you're so deeply in love with her?"

"Shut up." He mumbled.

"You will never see her again," I said but he interrupted.

"Shut up." He said louder.

"You can't do it, you have feelings Cato, your just mad She likes me, your just mad that she chose to stay with me, Your just mad cause you are now alone, And you will go back alone."

"Shut up!" He yelled.

"Your Afraid!" I yelled at him.

"Damn it!" He yelled and cut my face, temple to middle cheek.

I brought my hand up to my face, so much blood. I started trembling.

"Stop." I said.

"Scared your Gonna die 13."

"Get away from me."

"This is the Hunger Games, We kill that's all. One person comes out and it's not going to be you." He said punching me.

"..." I stayed quiet, I know I'm going to die here. Clove is nowhere to save me. Wait why Do I need Clove to save me, I'm a man. I can take Cato.

"I'm Gonna make your death slow and painful. Just for the crowed of people watching." He twisted his sword around getting ready to strike me again.

I moved out-of-the-way just as his sword came crashing down, I pulled out a dagger and stabbed his leg. He kneeled for a second but regain composure, he swung again but missed. I punched him in the face, then stabbed his right forearm.

"Can't use your sword now huh?" I taunted.

He tried to swing at me but dropped his sword. He tried to punch me but I blocked it. I stabbed him in his arm again. He cried out in pain.

He knocked the dagger out of my hands and tackled me to the ground. My arm hurt like a bitch but I manage to keep him from hitting me. He was sitting on my stomach punching me constantly, I blocked most of his weak ones but when his hard ones came out, they always hit me. It took me a while to realize that the blood on his fist was mine.

I see a rock, I reach for it and barely reaching it.

"Get...Off...Of...Me!" I hit his face with the Rock, he fell over and had blood dripping from his temple, He held his head.

"Adam!" I heard a voice yell from far? Clove?

I struggled to stand up, I didn't notice Cato grabbing my dagger which was on the ground.

I cried out in pain as the dagger dug into my leg, I fell back down grabbing my leg.

"Adam!" The voice was closer now. I look up and see Clove running through the woods to me.

Cato starts to move towards me but I kick him in his face, knocking him out.

I finally pulled the Dagger out of my leg. "Fuck." I whisper as I looked at the wound.

The cuts on my face and arm are nothing compared to this, just then a voice boomed over the arena.

"There is something you all need, yes. There will be a feast at the cornucopia. Come get what you need." The voice booms off.

"Adam!" Clove said running to me, Someone's behind her.

"Clove someone's behind you." I said using Cato's sword to stand up.

"I know It's your little partner." Clove said.

I ignored the pain in my leg and ran to Tori, hugging her tightly.

"Thank god you're not dead." I said my eyes tearing.

"Katie got captured by Cato." she said but stopped when she saw Cato's out cold body.

"Katie is dead Tori." I said still not letting her go.

"What?" She said looking up, she spotted Katie hanging in the tree "Oh God." She started crying.

I thought of Maya and Bianca. There friends. Everyone. Drew might win, Katie is dead, Tori will most likely die. Besides the only other person to kill me is Thresh and Drew.

"Let's head back." I said almost falling.

Clove wrapped my arm over her shoulders and half walked half Carry me back to the cave.

I laid down on the ground once we got back. I had gotten some vine and a stick for my leg to keep it straight.

"I'm going to the feast." I said.

"What? No you're not, your staying here." Clove demanded.

"Clove I'm not weak, I'm going. I'll grab your bag too okay." I said standing up.

"You may not be weak but you are still hurt." Tori said.

"Listen I have to go now or Drew will get our bag, I don't know if Cato is awake or not but I have to go now." I said walking to the opening of the cave.

"I'm going to then." Tori said.

"No you're not." I said and kept walking.

"Just let her, she's going to complain and you'll give in anyway.

"Ugh Fine."

She ran up to me and we started running, For someone who is using a stick for walking I'm moving pretty fast, and surprisingly the cornucopia isn't as far as I thought. I spot the feast. 2, 5,11,12, and 13. I see the girl from 5 sprint across the field and grabbed her bag not stopping her sprint.

"Come on." I whispered as we ran across the field over to the feast. I grabbed 2 first then 13. I see an axe fly by my face and very close to my neck, I looked over and saw Tori fall to the ground. The Cannon sounded. The axe killed her, It hit her right in the side of the head. I felt anger rise in me and looked to see who threw it. Drew? I pulled the axe out of her head and threw it at him, it hit his shoulder. He fell to the ground just as I see thresh and Katniss emerge from the Forest. Cato running over to us too.

You gotta be kidding me, tears were streaming down my face because of Tori. I just watched her die. I was dead but Cato didn't go after me, he went after Thresh. Katniss is running off with her bag into the forest, Drew is still on the ground trying to take out the axe. Everything is happening so fast! I picked up the bags and went over to Tori's body. I closed her eyes and looked into the sky.

"I'm sorry." I mouthed up to the sky before running off the to woods.

"Adam!" I heard Drew yell, I turn around to see Thresh fall to the ground all bloody. The last thing I saw was Cato walking over to Drew.

I made my way back to the Cave to see Clove sitting there scared.

She ran up to me and Pressed her lips to mine. He eyes showed worry then changed to relief.

"Tori's dead." I said letting a tear escape. I need to stop crying all the time.

"So that was her Cannon." I nodded.

I handed her, her bag. Just then another Cannon went off.

"Who's left?" Clove asked.

"Foxface, both from 12 and Cato and Maybe Drew."

"That's 7 of us left."

I nodded and closed my eye's for a second, controlling the tears welling in my eyes.

I opened them and start looking in my bag. More first aid, some bread and a silver container. I opened the container and it held a gooey cream in it.

"Use it, then drink this." Clove said handing me some kind of soup. I put the cream on all the cuts and drunk the Soup. Everything became dizzy and soon I saw nothing but black. Before my hearing went out I heard another Cannon. Who was it?
