Hello to you! So I want to just get on with the story already. I'll see you at the end of the chapter.

"How's everything with you?" Katniss calls down to us, a bit too cheerful for the Hunger Games.

"Well enough. Yourself?" Cato responds to her.

"It's been a bit warm for my taste," she says. I smile in my head. "The airs better up here. Why don't you come on up?" What the hell is she thinking?

"Think I will," says Cato. No, no, no! I have to stop him... I can't... No, Katniss is smart I'm sure she knows what she's doing. She's high up in that tree I doubt Cato would be able to climb that high. Whatever she's thinking I have to trust her. What else can I do. If I interfer, the Careers won't trust me anymore. Then there goes my plan.

I can't watch this. I stare down and notice that my knife is really dirty. I pull it out of my belt and begin to clean it with the end of my shirt. I'll do anything to distract myself from this moment.

"Here, take this, Cato," I hear Glimmer say handing Cato her bow and arrows. Suddenly I feel uncomfortable, like something's burning holes through my head. It must be Katniss. I can feel her glaring at me. She must be furious with me. I wouldn't blame her, I joined district twelve's enemies and I am helping them hunt her. Although I'm not sure if she knows that yet. I keep cleaning my knife. I'm ready to face her. I'm sure she wants to kill me.

"No, I'll do better with my sword," he replies pushing away her weapon. I allow my eyes to wander up. I see Cato hoist himself up and climb. Katniss climbs higher as well. I just
hope she stays out of reach. I hear a branch snap and Cato falls to the ground with a loud thud. It really sounded like he might of broke something.

He begins to swear with some creatively. "Fuck! Shit! What a bitch!" He says a few other things. I just wish I didn't hear them. How dare he call Katniss such an awful name! Now I want to punch him. Katniss deserves respect.

"Glimmer, you try," Clove says. Glimmer does, but she's smart enough to climb back down once she hears the branches begin to snap. Now, Katniss is very up high in that tree. Glimmer tries to shot her, but she really doesn't know how to use a
bow that its completely pointless. Only one made it close to Katniss. I watch as she yanks it out of the bark of the tree and raise it above her head teasingly. It takes a lot in me not to smile right now.

An arguement breaks out about what to do about her. I don't say anything. I'm too busy trying to think of a way to let her escape. Twilight falls over us and night will soon be upon us. The best I can do is stall for her. Finally, I've grown tired of them talking over each other I speak up.

"Oh, let her stay up there. It's not like she's going anywhere. We'll deal with her in the morning."

I get questionable looks from all of them. They must not trust me a hundred percent, but as long as Cato trusts me the others will have to as well.

"Alright. Set up camp," he says. They give him questionable looks now. He just keeps my gaze. After a moment of a mini stare down, he commands them. "Now! Build up a fire and check
what supplies we have with us."

They do as he says and he walks away from me to help set up. I look up and see Katniss look down. Our eyes lock and I see betrayal and hurt in her eyes. I quickly drop my gaze and walk over to the group. If only she knew.

Darkness spreads throughout the arena and the anthem plays. I look up to where Katniss sits in the tree. She's higher up than the last time I glanced to her. I can't see much in the darkness, but I can tell she's moving. I hope by the time dawn comes, she will be long gone and far from this tree and far from the Careers.

The anthem stops and so does Katniss. My attention is brought back to the Careers when I hear them call to me.

"Loverboy," calls Marvels. I jerk my head to him.

"Yeah?" I respond. He has a small smirk on his face.

"Why'd you change your mind," he asks narrowing his eyes. No trust. None what so every. Have to question everything I do.

"Well, she's up there. With nowhere to go. Trapped. I doubt you'll find another opportunity like this. I rather just get this out of the way. To end it," I say matter-of-factly. He lifts his chin slightly. All of them stare at me. "Besides, once she's finished with. I can finally leave these Games. My body may be going back home in a wooden box, but my heart will be with hers."

They don't question me any futher. I believe they don't completely understand what it is I said. To them it sounded like both of us will be going home in a box. To me, I meant I
was going home in a box, but my heart will be with Katniss as she returns home to her family. Her heart still beating.

We eat and they talk. I don't listen to a word they say. I sit against a nearby tree staring up at Katniss's tree. I volunteer for first watch, but they don't completely trust me so I'm on with Clove.

We sit in awkward silence for what I estimated was an hour. She cleans her array of knives and even practice throwing them. I watch her.

Her hand grips the blade. A swift flick of her wrist. The blade slices the air until it hits its target. She sees me
watching her. A smirk appears on her face.

"You know, you remind me of my brother," Clove tells me. "He's naive too."

"How am I naive," I ask her.

She simply laughs and shakes her head. "I'm not even going to waste my time." Okay? What was the point of telling me that?

She goes back to throwing her knives and I allow my eyes to wonder back to Katniss's tree. I hope she's alright. I stay awake almost all night taking every shift with each of them. It isn't until Glimmer takes watch when I do fall asleep.

I dream of Katniss. I see each of the Careers kill her. I see Katniss die five times. The part of my dream was the very end of it. Cato commanded me to kill her. I stood in front of her with a sphere in my hand. I couldn't control nyself. Everything was moving on their own. As if I'm a puppet on strings. My arm pulls back and my fingers grip the sphere. I see myself send the sphere through her. That's when I awake to a loud crash.

Since I forgot to say the disclaimer in the beginning here it is.
