Don't Count me out
Chapter 11
I don't even know what day it is anymore; we were all out hunting for the unlucky tribute that destroyed our stuff when Cato and I noticed that Marvel wasn't with us anymore. We took off our glasses since it was day time and continued to look around for him. We couldn't find him but we heard the cannon, we smiled and hoped that Marvel had found that tribute. We started to head back to camp when we heard another cannon shot. We looked at each other confused and wondered who was just killed; when we got back to camp we sat on the ground and waited to see if Marvel was going to be coming back. We waited all day and by the time night came around we assumed that Marvel was killed, when we saw the tributes appear we saw the girl from district 11 appear and Marvel. Marvel was killed so now only Cato and I are what are left of the careers. It was somewhat cold tonight and since we didn't have our supplies Cato pulled me close to him and we sat there next to each other trying to keep warm, we would have lit a fire but our matches were gone.
Cato and I woke up to the sound one of the game makers; they said that there was a rule change. If two tributes from the same district were the last two alive then there could be two victors. Cato and I got excited and we grabbed our weapons and ran into the woods off to look for tributes, there were only Katniss, Peeta, the girl from district 5 and the boy from district 11 left, not counting us. We looked all over the woods for them; we didn't dare venture into the grasses since we didn't know what was hiding in there. We didn't find any tributes that night or the night after.
It was two days after the rule change and Cato and I were out hunting since we didn't want to starve when we heard that there was going to be a feast and that what we need was in the feast. Cato told me to go and if I saw Katniss or any other tribute to try to take them down. I nodded and told him not to go too far away in case I needed some help, he nodded and I headed for the cornucopia.
When I got there I sat in the bushes waiting for the table, within a couple of minutes I saw the table and I saw the district 5 girl run out with her bag from within the cornucopia, that was actually clever I will tell Cato about that. I saw Katniss run out from the bushes; I took off after her and threw a knife at her. I managed to hit her in the forehead; I had one chance at this one. Kill Katniss or take our bag and run, I figured it would be better if I grabbed the bag and ran so I ran into the cornucopia grabbed the bag and started to run out, just as I was running out I was shot in the shoulder with an arrow by Katniss. I cringed but didn't stop running since I saw the district 11 male coming and I knew if I didn't get out of here I would be killed. Katniss knew it too since she grabbed her bag and ran away. I was almost out of the area before I was tackled by someone; I rolled over to see that it was the district 11 male. He pinned me to the ground, I screamed for Cato and I could hear him coming. I saw him raise his arm to hit me when he was thrown off of me. Cato grabbed my arm and pulled me up and he had his sword. He backed off and took off running; he grabbed his bag and took off back to the field. Cato turned to me and said
"Are you okay?"
I nodded and said
"Yeah he just scared me, I didn't expect that. I was going to kill him but I couldn't get my knifes."
Cato nodded and saw the arrow in my shoulder; I guess I still had it there. With being chased I forgot all about it, he pulled it out of my shoulder and sat me down since it was bleeding and he wanted to make sure that it was fixed before we went after him.
