Chapter Twelve: "Touch My Guns".
We decided that it would probably be in our best interest to grab as much as we could in terms of food. Normally the Game-makers give a huge pile of food, but this year it seems limited. The food of course is natural fruits and vegetables, most of which I dislike, but when hungry I doubt that really makes a difference, taste.
We grabbed all the supplies and headed down rather then up, Delia made a very good point that most of the tributes she saw flee the bloodbath went down, so that would be our best bet in finding some kills, as she eloquently put it.
We had been hiking for what seemed a couple of hours before we found a nice cave. As we entered, we knew this would be the best place to call our temporary home. The cave had a dead-end, so any hope I had off underground tunnels soon vanished.
I unzipped my Hoodie I was wearing, exposing a plain white top that really highlighted my breasts. I knew I needed to keep the capitol happy by playing to the camera.
"Why would you undress", snapped Delia examining the situation to be barbaric, considering the cold air.
I pouted my lips stupidly. "I hate this hoodie I guess. It's pretty gross", I shrugged hoping she wouldn't press the question any further.
Thankfully she shook her head in confusion and let it at that. My nipples instantly got hard, which on this occasion, was to my satisfaction. I am not one to show of normally, but I remember how my mentor told me to seduce my allies.
Jaret was instantly at my side. He supposedly wanted to talk strategy with me, though his eyes were placed firmly on my breasts rather then my face.
"It's such a shame we met in such stupid circumstances. If only you were from my district, we could have seen so much more of each other", I gush girlishly, which seemed to flatter him.
He showed me his muscles, which he called his 'guns' proudly and prompted me to touch them, which I did with a fake expression of impressed.
Marty smirked at me knowingly. "Shit has he figured me out", I thought, but he turned to the group. "Should we hunt now, or wait until tomorrow?".
"Its going to be dark soon. We should wait until then and attack in the dark", I replied.
Delia frowned. "We haven't been provided night googles. It will be dangerous to go out in the dark in this arena without them. Never know where we are stepping or what edges there could be".
She made a fair point, one I actually hadn't considered.
Sudden a canon sounded, one that didn't sound from two far away from us, making us all jump. I imagine the capitol finding that rather hilarious. The career alliance, the strongest of the tributes, all shitting themselves at the sound of a canon.
It didn't take long for darkness to approach, and the capitol seal to turn on. All the bloodbath tributes were features, the two faces from 3 and 11 burning their eyes into me. I murdered them. I killed two innocent people.
We finally found out that the person canon we heard earlier belong to the girl from district 12.
"I wonder what happened to her", as the seal finished.
Nobody answered and Marty just shrugged.
Clearly it's not just the career tributes that make kills.
We had been sitting for an hour or so, when a parachute glided our way. I was surprised however when it landed in front of Marty and had his name on it.
He pulled out two pair of night vision goggles.
"Theres only two", Delia states the obvious.
"It's clear what our mentors want right?", he shrugged.
"Our mentors?", Marble questioned only what I was about too.
"We are in an alliance, which means our money is meshed together. Clearly, they want me to go hunting. And to take one other with me, while the others guard our fort".
To be honest, what he said made perfect sense.
Jaret came forward. "Come on then, lets get some hunting on the way", he laughed holding his hand out to Marty to give him a goggle.
Delia however snapped up and stood in front of Jaret. "They were sent to Marty big boy. It's his decision who goes with him. Moron".
Jaret looked like he was going to give a rather distasteful response when Marty turned to me. "Cashmere. I will take cashmere".
I raised my eyebrow at him. "Really?".
He nods and I shrug. "Fair enough".
"Oh yeah, just take the pretty one", laughed Jaret, before tapping him on the shoulder. "Have fun".
I knew what he meant when he said have fun, and I swear if that boy even lays a finger on me, I will chop his head off in a heartbeat.
We exit the cave and make our way onto the mountain. I Place the goggles on my head, and find I can see perfectly as if though it was daylight. "These are brilliant", I exclaim excitedly as I take in my surroundings. "I know. You would never know it was dark", he laughed.
We climbed around the mountain, checking in various caves trying to find some kind of hiding tribute, but there seemed to be none in our vicinity. Maybe it was only 12 in this area.
We finally found a cave that seemed to go in a bit deeper.
"Maybe we should wait til morning and take some of the other careers with us. We don't know what is down there after all", I said as Marty was entering, but he simply laughed at me and called me a scary cat.
I rolled my eyes and followed him in.
"I like your techniques", he laughed as we trekked down the cave.
"Excuse me?" I said swinging round and glaring at him.
"your going to sex up Jaret right?", he laughed again. My mouth dropped as I considered what he had just said to me. "What is that supposed to mean", I snapped at him angrily.
"I don't care", he replied with a raised eyebrow. "You killing him during sex will make it much more easier for me. I don't think I will be able to throw him in a fight after all".
I laughed sarcastically. "I really don't know what your talking about". He stopped dead.
"Please don't insult me Cashmere. I am from district 4. We are known to be the smartest of the careers. I know your district one, and you will play up to your beauty. Its only natural. My mentor Mags did warn me actually".
I didn't really know how to respond, what he had just said was spot on perfect.
We kept on walking, before I heard a snap from underneath me. I jumped back instanly not liking the unfamilier sound, but Marty didn't have such luck, he was strung up by a net hanging from the ceiling.
"Fuck", groaned Marty "Cashmere, get me down from here".
I couldn't help but laugh.
I pulled out my knife with intentions of cutting the rope. "I wonder who made this?", I asked. But before I could cut the rope my question was answered. A spear flew through the air and impaled Marty from behind. His canon sounded instantly.
My eyes widened at the site of the district 3 girl standing in front of me. She was only 13. How was she even capable of doing this. I can see now how she achieved her 7. Before I had a chance to respond she threw knifes at me. Two missed but one managed to stick out of my leg. I screamed in agony and swung and punched her in the head. She fled from me down into the cave, but out of site. With my leg bleeding I knew If I went after her I would only cause harm to myself.
I limped back out of the cave and back towards base. It was agonising, and took me twice as long, but I finally made it back to our cave.
When they saw me they all run up and crowed me.
"What happened?", Jaret demanded. "where is Marty".
"Dead", I replied coldly as I sat and held my leg.
"Who? Was it you?", accused Delia from the side of me.
I shook my head. "No. We found this cave. It was long and narrow. We were chatting and didn't notice the trap. Marty got caught in it, and the girl from three. She killed him with a spear. She got me in the leg and fled".
"We only heard one canon. You didn't kill her did you", groaned Marble shaking his head.
I glared at him. "I just told you she fled. She is probably still in the cave. I will take you there in the morning if my leg is healed".
"Your leg isn't going to heal by morning. Your probably going to bleed to death", pointed delia with an evil smirk.
"Sponsors will probably send me something".
I didn't have to ask twice before a parachute landed in front of me with a small tub of medicine. I rubbed the soothing cream onto my gash.
Lumo's left a note for me as well. "Be careful".
"I don't trust you cashmere", Delia groaned at me. "Whats to say you didn't kill him".
I sighed in frustration. "Listen Two. I am going to admit something that you tributes from district two would never be able too without fear off it disrupting your pride, but believe it or not, I actually need allies. It will be my best hope of returning home to district one. I am not arrogant enough not to admit that. I did not kill Four. Not when it left me alone with nobody to watch my back".
Delia didn't look convinced but nodded all the same. Obviously she knew I had made her look an idiot. My guess would be im firmly on her kill list. Bring it bitch.
