Don't Count me out
Chapter 8
I managed to snag a knife and just in time too, I saws that the district 9 boy was trying to grab something and run. I threw my knife at him and he fell to the ground, I knew he was dead so I ran to grab my knife. The minute I grabbed it I saw Katniss also trying to grab a backpack and run, I thought I better take her down now instead of later, I threw my knife at her. I aimed for her head but she shielded herself with her backpack. I swore to myself before grabbing a couple more knifes and continuing on with the bloodbath. By the end of the bloodbath there were eleven dead tributes by my count and I had managed to kill three of them. Cato let the district 3 boy join our career group because before Cato killed him he said that he could reactivate the mines to protect our stuff. Cato thought that it would be useful so we gathered up the supplies and put them in a neat little pyramid. I grabbed quite a few knifes since glimmer had grabbed the bow and arrow, Cato grabbed a sword since he was good with it and I don't remember what Marvel had grabbed. Cato said that we better get to hunting tributes down now before they all get too far away so we headed out to hunt some tributes down.
We were walking silently when we heard a noise, I figured out where it was coming from and saw a jacket. I aimed carefully and threw a knife at it. The person wearing the jacket was close to a tree and ended up getting stuck to the tree, Cato smiled and we ran towards the tribute. It was Peeta, Cato grabbed the knife that Peeta was having a hard time getting out of his jacket and handed it back to me. Peeta had fear in his eyes, I could tell. Cato then asked him if he wanted to join our career group, I knew that Cato would kill him on the spot if he didn't say yes, Glimmer and Marvel were behind me so I mouthed 'say yes' to peeta and he clearly got the message because he said yes. At this point Cato seemed satisfied and it was getting dark so we headed back to campe. When we got there it was time for the anthem and then we saw the dead tributes, all who had died in the bloodbath. Well guess that means only 13 left to take down and only one was going to win and I wanted to win.
I grabbed a match from one of the bags and Marvel gathered some firewood, I lit the fire and we sat around it and ate some food, afterwards we all slept. Except me, I couldn't sleep so I kind of sat there watching the dying fire, I knew everyone else was fast asleep. Well at least I thought, Peeta opened his eyes, looked at me and sat up.
"Can't sleep?"
He said softly as not to wake anyone. I shook my head.
"No. I still can't believe that I'm here."
I said in a hushed tone just like him. He kind of nodded his head and said
"Yeah, I know how that feels."
We stared at the dying fire for a little while before he said
"Why did you save me? You know back there in the woods."
I looked up.
"I don't know, something inside me told me to."
He nodded before saying
"Well thanks."
I smiled.
"No problem."
We both went to bed after that but I still stayed awake just to keep watch.
