I couldn't help it, i screamed his name too, i knew it might be a trap but i didn't care.. Thresh bolted up, 'What, what, where is he?' he panicked, his eyes wide with fear. 'I,i.. heard him, he screamed my name Thresh, we need to hide' i cried, i was so ashamed i let Cato know where we were. 'Okay, its okay, i know the perfect place' Thresh said. He led me to a small ledge on a rock not so far from where we were before, i was worried it was too close.
I was right, before long Cato was right by us, screaming my name. I could just about see him, it didn't look like anyone was with him, but i couldn't risk it, not for me but for Thresh. I can't let him die, he is the one who let me ally with him, i can never repay him. Cato didn't see us though, he walked straight passed us, or thats what Thresh told me, i had taken to hiding in Thresh's arms. I was too scared to look and soon fell back asleep.
I woke up in the morning to the sweet smell of breakfast. I saw through the misty morning sky, Thresh cooking eggs over a fire. Which was completely insane, given how close Cato was! 'What on earth are you doing?' , i groaned. 'Cooking. Cato won't come, don't worry' he replied. I am so hungry i let him cook, and just hope he is right. The breakfast is delicious, but this mist is getting way to thick for my liking. The gamemakers, obviously. Wanting us to move, but we don't. Not until the last minute!
It turns out, the smoke is so thick it stops you breathing, me and Thresh had to sprint for about half and hour before the smoke started to clear off. Obviously someone was near, Cato probably.. We walked for abit longer until we came to the trampled wheat i slept on, when i first left the careers. We decided to sleep here again and i didnt object as this place was some how, comforting to me. I was so thirsty, i drank 2 litres, luckily we have a pretty big water supply. Thresh did'nt sleep much last night so i told him to rest while i cooked some food.
I cooked some soup and used some of the fruit to make a small fruit salad to share. I realised, i'd had no sponsors yet, i suppose i didn't really need any. I wasn't that hungry so i didn't wake Thresh, i just sat there thinking about life, and what i have left of it. Not very much. I could sense him behind me, before i could see him. I whipped round, although i knew who it was.
There he was, Cato, but he didn't look the same, was it anger? No. It, it was sadness. 'Why?' he asked. Then i knew, he did care about me, maybe even as much as i cared for him. 'I, i thought you' i croaked, it was all i could manage, before i burst into tears. He seemed to have realised what i meant, and came over and hugged me tightly, i just hung my head in shame. 'Never' he whispered in my ear.
Thresh burst through the wheat by where he'd been sleeping, he'd probably heared me crying and thought i was in trouble. Now he was. I could see it in Cato's eyes, he was angry. He took it the wrong way, me being with Thresh, the wrong way completely!
Cato lunged himself at Thresh. 'NO!' i screamed, but it was too late.
