Don't Count me out
Chapter 12
After the feast we dug through our bag and found some armor, we shared it and decided that we could hunt down the district 11 male this time safely. It was down pouring but it wasn't even like it was rain that would go away after a while. Nope it was raining so hard that I couldn't see three feet in front of me, Cato was ahead of me and I struggled to see him. We headed into the fields where we last saw the district 11 male go, we wandered around aimlessly. I couldn't find anything; I did almost get killed by some wild dog though. Cato killed the dog before it could get me, it bit my arm and was going to go for my neck and if it wasn't for Cato I would be dead right now.
I didn't know if had been a day or not because of all of the rain, we were wandering the fields when Cato shushed me and told me to stop. I stopped and the next thing I saw was the flash of a sword and a piercing scream, I heard the cannon in the distance but just barely. I couldn't see Cato so I held up the knife that I had prepared to attack the district 11 male if need be. As the figure got closer I could see it was Cato and he had taken all of what the guy had had. We headed back to the cornucopia to sit out the rain.
We fell asleep in the mouth of the cornucopia when we woke up the rain was gone, we decided that it was best if we went and picked off the other three tributes while we had the chance. We grabbed our weapons and took off again, we were at the place where I had found Peeta and stuck him to a tree when we heard a cannon fire again. We looked at each other and wondered who had been killed, we kept on moving but there was no one to be found. I found a few nightlock berries on the ground and we assumed that Katniss and Peeta had been here; Peeta didn't seem too bright when it came to picking plants so we thought that he had died. It was getting dark and we didn't have our night glasses on so we started to head back to the starting area. We saw that the girl from district 5 had died, so Peeta and Katniss were still out there. Cato went to sleep but I remained awake to keep watch, I eventually fell asleep.
The next morning we headed out again to find the remaining tributes, we were walking through the woods when we thought that we had heard Katniss and Peeta we turned around and were met by things that we didn't think that we would ever have to deal with, Mutts. Cato muttered run and we took off running back to the cornucopia. We ran right by Katniss and Peeta and scrambled up the cornucopia, Cato got up there first and pulled me up, Katniss got here first and she climbed up. She shot a couple of the mutts that were trying to get Peeta before helping him up. When Peeta got up here they immediately started to fight the mutts, Cato and I did the same until he smirk and grabbed Peeta and put him in a headlock. Katniss spun around and was going to shoot Cato but Cato said that if she shot him then lover boy would go down with him. Katniss still had the arrow in the bow and I grabbed my knife which had fallen onto the metal cornucopia, I saw Peeta draw an x in blood on Cato's hand. Katniss was about to release the arrow until I cut the string on the bow which caused the arrow to snap back and it hit her. I smirked and said in a taunting tone "What are you going to do now girl on fire?" She grabbed and arrow and she was going to kill me with it until we heard a cannon shot, she spun around just in time to see Peeta be thrown over the edge to the mutts. She directed her anger towards Cato. She shoved Cato causing him to lose his balance and fall off of the cornucopia, I screamed Cato's name and tried to grab his hand before he fell to the mutts, it was too late. The mutts got him before I could, I heard a second cannon shot fired and I spun around angry as ever. I gripped my knife and looked at her "You killed Cato." I spat at her. She looked around for something to grab and when she couldn't find anything she looked at me, she was quite worried. It was dawn by now and the mutts were looking for the next victim. "Too bad you won't see your little sister again." I threw the knife at her; she staggered backwards when it hit her and fell over the edge of the cornucopia. I sat on the cornucopia and listened to her scream as she tried to fight off the mutts. By midafternoon the screams had stopped and the cannon was fired. Within minutes of the cannon being fired I heard "Congratulation Rosaline Sarlin! Our Victor from district 2!" I jumped down from the cornucopia and watched as the mutts ran off into the middle of the area down into a hole in the ground, I looked around. Cato, Peeta and Katniss's bodies were still on the ground. I saw Cato and it brought tears into my eyes. A ladder was dropped down from a hovercraft next to me and I was grabbed the ladder. I was frozen in space as I was taken up into the hovercraft. The minute I stepped off the ladder inside the hovercraft I was injected with something and I passed out.
