I wake up in the morning sore and achy. I grab a cooked rabbit leg and go outside to see the careers safely in their hole. They still have their weapons. I'm not going to bother trying to take them off them.
"Hi guys." I say teasingly.
"Let us out!" Osto says throwing his sword at me. I dodge all most casually out the way and then sword is lodged in a tree.
"How about no? I've promised to Panem that I wouldn't kill a tribute. I didn't say I wouldn't capture." I say smugly.
"You're going to have a painful death once we get out." Osto says threateningly
"If you get out. Mutts might get you first before you get out. Oh and if you are getting eating by mutts and want to end it quickly. Ask Jason." I say turning around and walking back.
"Yeah Jason your boyfriend." Silver shouts back to me. I whip my head around and see her smiling, almost laughing. I grit my teeth and pick up a rock and throw it at her. It hits her arm. I was aiming for her head but oh well. She swears at me. I could have done worse but I don't really care.
"I said I wouldn't kill anyone. I didn't say I wouldn't hurt them." I say turning back to the base and heading in.
"What do we do now?" Jason asks when I enter.
"Well since we wont kill the careers their probably gonna send in some mutts to get them. Martial is a threat. He's the last one. We need to get rid of Marvel. I can't. I swore not too. I'm stuck..." I say and the blood from Jason's face drains. "You don't have to kill him." I say quickly. "We just need to outsmart him. Like the careers and the TrackerJacker nest when Katniss Everdeen was in the games."
"Well I have a plan but you wont like it... We do what are mentor did. Hide. Keep swapping between the bases that Vibia made. And we put death traps around them and clever escape routes." Jason replies. Waiting for a sharp reply ending in an arguement or something. Which doesn't come.
"Ok but its better then what are mentor did. He sat in a rabbit hole with one death trap out side and waved a torch around." I say, determined not to be like our mentor.
"Yeah. This will be our main base, seeing as its the most well hidden and it already has our stuff in." He says then lowers his voice a bit just in case. "We'll hid the stuff in here, under this base so the careers won't find them."
"Sound good." I reply. I start to pack up some stuff to take with us. Food, water, weapons, and other stuff like that.
"hey whats this?" I say holding two bulky packages. I open one and study it. It looks like more clothes except different.
"Cato's armor. He wore this in the games." Jason says looking over my shoulder. I pass one back to him and I start to put mine on. As we put out chest pieces on we look at each other and start laughing. We didn't realize that their was different suits. He was wearing my one and I was wearing his. Oops. We swap and its much more comfortable now. We grab the fold out shovels and dig a hole to put our good stuff in. Once we've finished we cover the hole up, grab our bags and go. We walk around setting various traps here and there. Most a bit obvious but I don't care. It might do the job. We reach one of our other bases at dusk. We head in and disguise the entrance a bit more. I assume that Marvel has found one or two of our new bases and nabbed the stuff we didn't. We set up and lay down go to sleep. I'm planning on tracking Marvel down and spy on him.
"Hey, Sky. When do you thing that they'll get the mutts to end it? For the Careers I mean. They don't want it dragging on." he says and I think he reminded the gamemakers that they need to get rid of them because there's a sudden animal screech. Not a normal animal, nor human. Mutts. There's an ear piecing screech again as the mutts draw nearer. There's a chorus of screeching. They're all talking. I get up and move a branch to see them. They look like things called monkeys I learned about in school once. But they seem like they're flying... They are flying! There's skin between their arms that connects to there body. Like wings. And their teeth are like knives. Designed to cut threw flesh. This won't end well for the careers... I kinda feel sorry for them, but it was me or them I guess. I keep studying the mutts. Their eyes look cloudy... Maybe they're blind or something. I carefully pick up a rock and throw it infront of one of their faces. They didn't see it but all their heads whipped around at the quiet impact of the stone that most animals, or humans, wouldn't really notice, unless they're really listening out for it. I need to know these guys weaknesses incase I enconter them again. What about smell... I move back from my hidding place and carefully get out a bit of cheese that I found. Its gone off now so its useless really. I take a peice about the size of my smallest finger nail and return to my hidding enterance. I quickly throw it. Most of their heads turn around to the smell. Some don't seem to notice. So very good hearing. Quite good smell; well quite a bit better then mine. Blind. Sharp teeth and claws. Loud screams. If I encounter these guys then I'm screwed. Unless we start throwing cheese and rocks in different directions. That might actually work. One of their heads turn in my direction and I immedently duck, making a little more noise then nessary- Even though they blind! Damn it! They start talking and one of the monkeys start heading towards me. I know I could kill it with the help of Jason but if they all come then we wouldn't stand a chance. I am not going to die like this. I quickly scuttle over to the block of cheese and throw it out the gap I was looking from. It shoots right past its head and makes a loud thump and splits, releasing a foul smell that seems to interest it. I stay as still as possible. It seems like my heart beating will be loud enough to show them I'm here. It pokes its head in the hole and its cloudly eyes lock on me. Its blind. Its blind. Its blind. I tell myself. What if I was wrong? What if it could see? It seems to stare into my soul. He looks away and goes to inspect the cheese. I stay still, barely daring to breathe. It gives a loud screech and walks towards the revolting smell of the cheese I threw. Jason wakes up.
"What was that!" He shouts. I clamp my hand over his mouth. Too late. The monkey does a number of screeches and crawls inside. I hold my breath. Waiting for the pain to come.
(A/N A bit late now but, just saying, I really suck at remebering and updating stuff. Sooo yeahh... For anyone rereading this it will probably make sense now because I've redone a couple of chapters so I hope it makes sense now! :) )
