Hey. I am sorry this took a while to write. I just got a little caught up with my life, with work and birthday social meetings and such and such. But update has been completed. I hope you like it. I feel like i am getting through the deaths a little too quickly, and the careers can't be in control of every single death etc, so i'm going to go a little bit more personal with the other careers, and get more of a character from them. Hope you like my update. Don't forget to REVIEW! :D :D :D :D

Chapter Thirteen: To Give Them What They Want!

BOOM!

I jerked awake, as did the other careers around me, except Marble who was keeping watch.

"How close do you reckon that was?", I asked sheepishly.

Jaret shrugged. "Not close enough to really matter I guess".

I yawned loudly, gaining myself elusive glares from my fellow tributes and allies. I picked up my hoodie, which I had been reluctant to wear for reasons of trying to please the capitol, but while I have a bad leg, it seemed rather pointless to me, trying to be sexy.

"I am going to go hunting", declared Marble suddenly. I raised my eyebrow at him. "Cashmere, give me the googles".

I smirked as I got them out of my bag and handed them to him. "Good luck".

"I'll go with you", Jaret said from behind me unexpectedly causing me to jump. "Can I have the other googles Cashmere".

"Other goggles?... Er", I thought suddenly. I hadn't grabbed them from Marty when he got trapped in the net.

"Please tell me you still have them?", growled Jaret realising what I had done.

I blushed, and for the first time in the arena, it was my genuine emotion.

"Sorry", I gushed shrugging. Jaret growled at me again, but didn't push the issue with me.

"I'll risk it".

I didn't hear anymore canons that night, but the boys did return with the news that they had to fight down 6 mountain bear Mutts. Bloody game-makers. Something about the story didn't ring true to me, but I wasn't going to share any opinions, not when I was in a vulnerable state.

At noon, I decided I was eager enough to try and walk on my leg, and to my own joy I found I was practically fully healed. I smiled to myself.

"I am going to get used to the capitol medicines".

Delia scoffed. "yeah right".

I glared at her for a few seconds with a face that told her to try me. Dig deeper, and to my satisfation she didn't say anything. Just rolled her eyes and turned away from me.

"I will take you too the cave. Hopefully find the girl from 3".

Gathering up our weapons and some snacks we packed away and headed out of our base.

I trecked across the mountain tops before I finally found our cave.

Delia told me that she or any others of them, trusted me and that I was too go first. From the looks she received, it was only Marble that agreed with her, for Jaret seemed annoyed. Nevertheless to proove my innocence I entered first.

It actually delighted me when we come across the net that Marble was left dead in.

Peering down at it, I wondered how the Game makers managed to get him out of the arena, considering that it was normally done with hovercrafts.

We trekked deeper into the cave when we come to a split.

"What now", groaned Delia from behind me.

"It's obvious isn't it", called my district partner from behind her mockingly. "Two go that way, two this way".

Delia rolled her eyes annoyed. She sure is making herself to look dumb in these games.

"I will go with Cashmere", grinned Jaret. I smiled sexily at him. "Great".

Marbles grunted and pointing at Delia. "Lets go".

BOOM!

Another canon. We all stopped in our tracks and looked at each other. Thats two more. We won't find out who else has died until sunset, which is annoying as it would be nice to know now.

We left Delia and Marble to go down there cave, while we ventured ours. It was getting tighter and tighter as we crept down, and I couldn't help but feel claustrophobic.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my bum. I jumped slightly and turned to face Jaret who had a smirk on his face.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist".

I raised one eyebrow cheekily at him. "I bet you couldn't big boy", I said stroking his chest.

He leaned into and I knew his intentions were to kiss me, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I turned my head and he ending up smacking me in the cheek.

"Hey", he whined.

"I can't Jaret. Not here".

I knew I had left him disappointed, he wanted to have sex with me, but it was just wrong.

We finally come to a dead end, I rolled my eyes. I guess we choose the wrong tunnel then.

We headed back, and was surprised to find that Delia and Marble was waiting for us.

"Nothing down yours either?", I asked.

"We nearly killed ourself s", grunted Delia, "It suddenly ends on a cliff with nothing but darkness below".

We exited the cave.

"All of a sudden a knife flew, and missed my face by inches. I screamed and flew back, enough time to see Marble run forward and throw his knife through the body of the boy from district 9.

The boy screamed horrifically as he fell to the floor, coughing up blood. Marble pulled the spear out, and it was clear the boy was not dead. Marble rolled him over, and the boy who knew he was dying pleaded. "Please, Kill me now".

Marble, most probably feeling superior, nodded and thrusted his spear through the boys skull, killing him instantly. A canon sounded.

We made our way back to the cave. I took of my of Hoodie, and my white top, exposing myself completely. Jaret and Marble both gasped together and Delias mouth dropped open in shock.

I shrugged. "These clothes are uncomfortable. I do not like wearing them", I said quietly, but deep down I knew the capitol would be furious that I never kissed Jaret, and to them, this is just my apology.

Moments later, a parachute landed in front of me. I received a giant basket of lamb chops, and for dessert, some luxury strawberries.
A few seconds later, another parachute landed in front of Marble, his contained 1 steak and a flask of hot chocolate. Jaret was next, which was just a flask of soup, and Delia received a smaller flask of soup.

"You can tell who the favourite is", she snapped when she saw the difference between mine and hers.

I felt bad. I had a good body, and I could manipulate with my body to get what I desire, Delia, who obviously didn't know what the concept of a bar of soap was, wasn't so fortunate.

"Look, I am not going to be able to eat all of these Delia, if I have any left-overs, you are more then welcome to them".

She looked surprised. "You shouldn't do that", she replied quietly, so only I could hear.

"Why not?", I asked shrugging, but she looked deadly serious. "This is the hunger games. This food won't be around forever, no matter how popular you are.

I smiled. I knew she was right of course, but I didn't care. I knew I would be killing her soon, if someone don't before I can. So I might as well share my lamp chops.

Of course I didn't eat all of them. I actually had 6 left-overs, so it was 2 for each of them, wanting to be fair.

Finally the capitol seal presented itself to us. There was 4 deaths to be presented. The first, unsurprisingly was district 4. The next was district 9 Male which Marble killed and then both from district 10.

"I wonder who... or what, killed the district 10 tributes", I pouted.

"Marty was wrong", frowned Delia.

I raised my eyebrow. "What".

"Remember, after the bloodbath, he said that all the tributes, apart from Marble, Jaret and district 7 guy were females. But we killed the district 9 boy and someone killed the district 10 boy meaning there were too more guys in the running".

I blinked a couple of times as I remember back. He indeed did say that. Huh. And there was him saying that district 4 were smart. Or were they.

"Maybe he was trying to confuse you? Make you think there was less game then there actually was. Worked on me after all".

Jaret laughed. "Well, think about it, he wasn't wrong. Look who is left. "Marble, cashmere, Me, Delia, the careers, fighting a 13 year old from 3",... "who killed Marty don't forget", I interjected.

He brushed me off and carried on. "district 7 boy and girl, district 9 girl, and district 10 girl.

"There is only 9 of us left?", I blinked a couple of times trying to gather myself. "It's only ending day two. I thought for sure that these games would last longer then last years. They were a bit of a flop".

Jaret laughed and suddenly, high winds blew into the gave. My boobs frosted instantly and I ran for my clothes putting them on quickly.

A parachute fell, and I opened to find a fur coat inside, with a note from Lumos. "Shut your mouth".

I realised that talking about the capitol putting on a bad show last year was probably not my smartest move. The game makers put on a storm.

"Good evening tributes", an announcements rang into the arena. "You are all in your respected hiding places, congratulations. But we at the capitol, would like to see how you cope in stormy, ice cold conditions. The final 9 have all proved themselves to be... resourceful in this years arena, but we would like to see who can, how do you put it... smile through a storm. The final 8 will determine this. Let the odds be ever in your favour".

Delia gasped. "They are not going to turn the storm off until someone has died are they? And with all of us in caves? How long is that going to be?".

I shook my head. Me and my big mouth.

I was going to say how could that work, because one of us could kill the other off now. And being near the final 8, it would be about time that the career pack broke, but thinking about it more deeply, I don't think it would be very smart for any of us to do that. Going against the capitol is a sure way of getting yourself killed off.
