Hi Guys. New chapter. Again got stuck with work, and had myself a couple of days away with a friend, so I am sorry about the break again. But don't worry I am still around.
Please don't forget to give me a review! I do love and appreciate them. :-D

Enjoy!

Chapter Fifteen: 'ILoveYou'

My stomach growled violently. It had been 3 days since the storm started, and still there had been no deaths. Delia was most worst for wear out of all of us, having had the least food.

It was coming up for the 3rd night when the cannon finally sounded. The game-makers had used this too make our games last longer and to give the audience some kind of kick, but surly after the third day they were getting bored, I couldn't help but wonder if the game makers had killed someone off purposly to get the ball rolling again.

It took the game makers a whole five minutes before the showed us the capitol seal, obviously wanting to rub it in our faces. It was the district 10 girl. I couldn't remember her at all from the whole games, but her faces looked down at me, as if judging for me still being here.

The storm was stopped and I exited the cave and went out of onto the mountain tops. The final 8. It is now that they will be turning to our families and doing interviews. I wonder who will speak on my behalf. I know Gloss will and my mother. Maybe one of my friends. I can't imagine father doing it. That would be cringe. He would probably tell them that I deserve death and hopes never to see my face again.

As a career pack we head out into the open. "We need to hunt down district 7", Jaret informs us, taking charge. Of course he is right. It would be the smartest move. The boy is our biggest threat, and although I didn't take much notice of the girl, it is reasonable to say she is probably a contender, being from 7.

We head upwards, climbing up the mountain landscape. It's tiring work. Delia slips several times and by the time we reach the highest spot, she is heavily scratched and bruised. I feel slightly sympathetic for her. This arena clearly isn't what she was expecting, and has really left her worst for wear.

We looked down from where we climbed, and realised you could see the whole outline of the arena from up here.

"Look, the district 3 girl", I gasped as I saw way down the mountain and girl setting up a netted trap.

"No way we can get her from up here", growled Delia obviously annoyed that we went up instead of down.

Suddenly something flew past my ear. I yelped and jumped back as an axe flew out of the mountain top and fell threw the air.

"FUCK", swore a girl from behind me. I swung round to see the district 7 girl.

"well well well. What do we have here", teased Marble with a wide smile.

The girl missed me by inches, a mistake that I am very relieved off, for none of the careers had been paying any slight of attention.

I am not sure what the girl intended by trying to kill me. If she hit me, I would have fallen of the egde of the mountain top and she would have been left weaponless just like she is now, leaving her in the hands of 3 careers. Having missed, she is still in the hands of four. It seems like she will die either way. We hadn't noticed her when we first arrived, maybe it would have been smarter if she just stayed hidden.

"Let cashmere have her", jeered Delia from my left. I looked at her surprised. Why is she giving her to me. My thoughts didn't go far when she pushed me. "Go on. She tried to kill you. Get your one over on her".

Peer pressure is a bastard, but something you have to do if you want to survive these shitty games.

I whipped out my knife and let it whizz through the air. It lodged itself in the girls forehead.

The cannon went off instantly. BOOM!

Delia grunted. "Could've gave more of a show cashmere", sounding disappointed.

"Do you think her partner is around here?", I gasped thinking of the boy.

Jaret squints his eyes and scans the area. There doesn't seem to be.

I looked across the arena, I could see the district 3 girl still, but she ran off into a cave, after setting up her little trap. I keep a mental note to be more careful when in that area. The last thing I need is to get caught in a trap I saw get built.

I felt someone near me from behind, assuming it was Jaret I relaxed, expecting an arm to come round my waist, but never thing I knew Delia was being pushed away from me by an angry looking Jaret. I turned round in time to see Marbles skidding of down the rocks, and Delia landing in the floor, a blade in her hand. She was the second person in 5 minutes to try and kill me.

Jaret took my hand and led me in the opposite direction and down a clear path that led away from the location.

The career alliance had split. I guess I am not surprised, being down to only 7 people. But I was under the false illusion we were going to stay together until the brute from district seven was dead. Clearly not.

I was lead into a nearby cave by Jaret, and snuggled into him.

A parachute come moments after, one for me and one for Jaret. Mine had strawberries, and Jarets tea.

"Yours is a little more luxury then mine", he smiled. "I can see why", he finished with a wink.

I let out a blush, but my face falls when I read the note from my mentor. "Now!".

I knew what she wanted from me. I am to seduce Jaret now.

I took off my fur coat, which I hadn't since the start of the storm. I wrapped myself in Jarets arms.

"I wish I could stay like this forever", I whispered into his chest.

Jaret chucked. "In an arena as well?".

I rolled my eyes. "Well minus the location of course".

He started to kiss me running his hands up my back. I felt a tingling sensation and was instantly over brought by warmth. I knew what my mentor was expecting. She never wanted me to have sex with this guy, just get close enough to make him think he was, and then kill him before he had a chance. But my body wanting him, craved him. I actually wanted to give myself to him.

We had loving sex right there on the cave floor. I completely forget that the capitol would be watching this on their television screens. They would have seen every bit of my naked body caressing up against Jaret.

We must have been making love for about 30 minutes before climax. He fell asleep with me in his arms, but I knew I wasn't going to. I was now going to have to complete my task.

I exited the cave, and saw that it was lightly snowing. I rubbed my arms and a single tear crept down my face.

I took my knife out of my pocket and crept back into the cave. I kissed him on the forehead, and saw a slight smile appear on his lips. "I'm sorry... And I love you", I whispered before taking my knife and pulling it quickly across his throat. He didn't wake, maybe I did it so quickly it caused him to go into some kind of coma. I don't know. But his canon fired 3 minutes later.

I wiped my eyes and walked away from the body. The fucking hunger games. Soul destroying. I leave the cave and take in my surroundings. I am going to win these games. Because if I have killed that man for nothing, then I can not get my revenge on the capitol.

I realise that myself and Marble are the only two from the same district. He will have to die of course, but I kind of hope it won't be me who does it.
