Chapter 7
I ran as fast as I could, I knew that everyone was way behind me, but I didn't care. I grabbed and spear and jumped over the bags. I ran up to the mouth of the Cornucopia and grabbed my sword. I turned around looking for my brother; he was a few yards behind me with a knife in his hand. I grabbed his sword and ran towards him. He dropped the knife and grabbed the sword as we stood back to back. In no time we were killing tribute left and right. It didn't matter who they were, if they were running towards us, they were dead. I counted three that I killed. I looked over at my brother and he smirked.
"Four kills beats three, I win," he chuckled.
"Whatever, fall in for a head count," I shouted.
Marvel walked over a smirk on his face. Glimmer was jumping for joy; she now had a bow and arrows, damnit why couldn't she have been killed. Finny was next to walk over, by the looks of things I think she hid during the whole thing.
"Cato, Cata over there's Gill, dead," Marvel said pointing at the lifeless body.
"No idea who killed him," I shrugged.
"Ok, everyone start going around and getting the supplies and bring them over here, so they can get the bodies," Cato ordered, they all nodded and moved.
"I'm going to get Peeta," I told him as he nodded.
I started walking to the woods with my sword in hand. Since I didn't see Peeta run in front of me, I'm going to assume he went this way. I reached the forest and started walking around the edge close to the Cornucopia.
"Peeta, damnit where are you?" I growled.
"Right here, jeez looked right past me," he laughed sitting on a rock to my right.
"Shut up, I thought you were going to come out. I didn't think I'd actually have to look ok," I sighed making him laugh.
As he stood the cannons started going off. I counted 11 total, which means Marvel probably had three kills compared to Glimmer's one kill. I nodded my head towards the camp and Peeta nodded.
"Do you really love her?" I asked as we walked to camp.
"In all truth no, she's a friend yes and that's stretching it. I know that she loves this guy back home, so I just forget about it," he shrugged as we walked back.
"Could you kill her?"
"Could you kill your brother?"
"Fair enough, I'll kill her, so you don't have to," I said.
"What are you and your brother going to do? I mean if you really feel the others pain, how can you go through with killing the other?" he asked I shrugged.
"I'll figure that out, when the time comes," I said I didn't want to think about it.
When we walked back to the campsite everything was stacked up. Cato had a guy pinned to the ground and I didn't know who he was.
"Hey bro, what's up?" I asked walking over to him with Peeta behind me.
"He says that he can rewire the bombs to protect our supplies. I don't really know if I can trust him or not," he said.
I smirked and grabbed the kid by the collar. I pulled him up to his feet, I maybe a girl, but I could lift this little kid. I put my sword to his neck and smirked as his eyes widened.
"Now you're going to help us or I'll kill you right now. You see, you need us to make sure you last just a little bit longer. Otherwise you might as well be one of the dead tributes that were just taken away. Now what do you say?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
I heard my brother chuckle behind me, he found this amusing. The kid nodded agreeing as I dropped him to the ground.
"Well get to work bomb boy," I said as he scurried away.
"Way to go sis," Cato laughed pulling me into his arms.
I smiled and hugged my brother back; I'm glad that we're here together. The rest of the afternoon went by uneventful. We had the tents setup there were three of them. Glimmer being the drama queen she is, called one tent for herself and Finny. Peeta and District 3 boy were going to share one. Marvel, Cato and I were in the last tent. Later that night we were eating, the first night in the arena. I felt Marvel's eyes on me, I wish he would stop. I feel like if we had met under better circumstances, then possibly we'd be together. I looked to my right towards the forest and saw smoke.
"Hey guys come on, someone got stupid," I said pointing to the smoke.
Everyone turned their heads and jumped up. I put the sheath to my sword on my back like my brother. I put my sword in the sheath and grabbed a spear. Once everyone was ready we ran into the woods. We were racing to the smoke, but when I saw how close we were getting I shushed everyone.
"Why do we always have to listen to you?" Glimmer asked as we crept.
"Because it's obvious I'm fucking smarter, than you will ever be," I said shaking my head as my brother and I lead everyone.
There was a curly red headed girl curled into a ball shivering around the fire. I smirked; she wasn't cut out for this. I looked over at my brother; he had the same smirk on his face.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Cato said as we showed ourselves.
The girl's eyes widened as she looked at us. She knew she was going to die.
"P-please don't kill," she begged as tears started forming in her eyes.
"You want the honors?" Cato asked looking at me.
"Not really, who wants the honors?" I asked
"I'll do it," Glimmer said taking the knife Cato held out.
Glimmer quickly stabbed the girl in the stomach. Blood covered the knife and the girl as it dripped to the forest bottom. I shrugged and started walking away, my brother and I leading the others again. We were walking back to the Cornucopia, when I realized something.
"Why haven't we heard a cannon yet?" my brother and I asked at the same time.
"I killed her," Glimmer said.
"Then why hasn't a cannon shot yet, you dumb bitch."
"I'll go and finish her," Peeta said.
"I'll go with you," I said as my brother nodded agreeing.
"I'm not staying here with them," Marvel said.
The four of us took off running, before the other two would want to come along. The girl was slowly bleeding out, when we got back. I tossed my spear to Peeta; he was the only one without a kill. He plunged the spear straight into the girl's heart. I nodded, so he did know how to kill.
"That tree we stopped at Katniss is there," Peeta said quietly.
I looked over a Cato as he was thinking through a plan.
"We'll leave her for now. How'd she get that 11?" Cato asked quietly.
"Glimmer has her weapon,"
I nodded understanding; it was the bow and arrows. We'd have to be careful. The four of us tracked back to the others, before going back to the Cornucopia. Glimmer and Finny went straight to bed and I was happy for that, I was already tired of dealing with them.
"Marvel, Cat you two get some sleep, Peeta and I will be on watch for the night," Cato said as Peeta nodded.
Marvel got up and went into the tent. I looked at my brother with pleading eyes. I didn't want to sleep alone. He shook his head.
"Go sleep Cat," he said.
I huffed and went into the tent. I climbed into one of the sleeping bags. I lay on my side wishing my brother was here. I was emotional in my sleep and I knew it. My brother was my rock, the thing that kept me safe. I sighed; this is going to be a long night. After a bit I felt myself starting to drift to sleep. I then felt an arm wrap around my waist.
"Marvel stop," I said not feeling like putting up with this.
"I like you Cata, why can't you like me back?" he whispered in my ear.
"I've already told you."
"Not really, you always keep avoiding the question."
"Then you're about to get the same answer."
"Fine, we'll stay like this all night."
"Fine."
