Third POV
Rose froze, and then whipped around, as footsteps came crashing through the woods. Quickly, she got ready for battle.
"Hey, don't you wish you joined up with us?" Cato asked, sneering. Rose glared at him, then looked around. Luckily, not all of the tributes had arrived, plus he was injured. In fact, most were. Not much, but still a bit.
"In your dreams." With that, she threw a stone that she had picked up at him. It did nothing, besides angering the boy.
"Get her!" He cried, then charged forward. Rose cursed, then started throwing some knives. Only a third of them actually did some damage. Others were deflected, or dodged. The ones that did hit though, did some considerable damage. Nothing fatal, but enough of a distraction for Rose to climb a tree. As quickly as possible with a damaged leg, she scaled the tree.
"Damn it! You're just like that other girl from twelve." So they had met Katniss, Rose thought.
"Look how that turned out." She taunted. Cato narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah, but seems like you're worse at climbing. And you don't have anything to use." The boy from one retorted. Rose bit her lip. It was true, after all. She didn't have any tracker jacker nests handy, nor was her skill as good.
They would have contests sometimes. It was always Katniss first, me second, and Gale last. We would always tease him, saying girls were better. He replied with his skill in snares.
"Well, I'm still better than you losers!" The girl finally replied. Cato looked at Clove, and she nodded. Then, she started to climb. Rose panicked. The previous comment that was thrown was just a wish. She had no idea if it was true.
Rose started to climb higher, and then stopped. She had reached her limit. Looking down, she saw Clove approaching.
"Seems like you aren't as good as you said you are!" She jeered at Rose. Said person frowned, and tried to think up a plan.
Nothing. She was going to die here. Stuck in a tree, killed by people who could have been her allies.
No, she wouldn't think like that. Rose changed her thinking a bit...'If I'm going to die, I'm taking one of them down with me'
With a plan in mind, she got ready to jump down, and bring Clove down to the ground. From the height that they were at, it was render her useless if lucky. Dead if not. Or maybe this the damage she would receive, it would be better dead.
Whatever. Rose got ready to jumped.
She tensed, and was about to let go of her hands when a sudden voice stopped her...
"Where are you jumping?! Come over here."
Any guesses to who?
Sorry for the long wait and short chapter..
