4 August 3113 (6th day in arena)
**********************************
I roll onto my stomach, that doesn't help either. My side is next, it comforts slightly before becoming excruciating painful.
No matter what I try, sleep will not come to me, I'm unsure of how I slept last night. I ignore how tired I am and manage to stand up. Damn you Tracker Jackers....
Cursing under my breath, I limp out of the cornuccopia. Cato, is explaining something to Honnu. Marvel is snoring loudly on the other side of camp. Rayna is trying to sleep also.
Where's Glimmer and Peeta? I think to myself. Oh yes, now I remember, Peeta is probably dying in a hole somewhere because of Cato. And Glimmers dead, what is death.
I've always pondered over what it was, when I was 9, I was scarred that if I killed a person in the Hunger Games, I would be destined for hell. Am I?
I mean all I want is to get out of here, and go home with Cato. Am I that evil, that I'm bound to hell? I sure as hell hope not....
''Clo!!!" Cato's yelling awakens me from my trance, I walk over to him, well limp, more like it. I'm still warey about my hallucanations, I need to forget them. Glimmer's dead.
''Morning beautiful'' he says as he kisses my forehead.
''Morning'' I croak out. Cato smiles before handing me a bottle of water.
''Thanks'' I whisper. I drink it gratefully.
''Honnu, this is Clove, my girlfriend'' he states and I smile.
''N-N-Nice to m-meet you'' he stutters.
''You too'' I reply.
''Now'' Cato starts. ''You touch her, your dead, got it?" Cato says sternly. I love this protective side of him, its so cute.
''Y-you said that about e-e-everybody'' Honnu whispers.
''You hurt Clove, I'll kill you more painfully, then I would with the others, got it?'' Cato snarls.
He nods. Cato pulls me away from him and over under the blue shelters Glimmer made. I take off my jacket when I sit down on a crate. Even though I'm under a shade, I'm still pretty warm.
''Sleep last night?" Cato asked. I shake my head no. He sighs. I look at him. His blond hair is still sticking up perfectly. His crystal blue eyes, dance in the sunlight. His jaw bones aren't to high nor to low. Their perfect. He has a slight bump on his nose, its not that big.
He licks his lips, probably to try and give them moisture, they must be dry like mine are. He runs a hand through his tangled hair, then slowly flexs his muscles, not on purpose.
''Like what you see?" He laughs. I roll my eyes. ''So here is todays plan'' he announces.
''Marvel and I will go out hunting, you will stay here with Rayna and Honnu, he will start on those mines, he ad he would have probably done them any way. We wont be long, make sure you eat though, you haven't ate since before the Tracker Jacker incident'' he instructed me.
''Ok, I'll be fine, can Rayna and I come tomorrow, please'' I pleaded. His eyebrows furrow, and then he sighs. ''No Clove'' I stiffen at the name.
Since the games started, its Clo, and Baby Girl when he's being affectionate. Its Clove when he's serious.
''I'll eat and drink a lot today'' I bargined. ''Fine'' he whispers. ''Only if Rayna is up to it'' he states firmly.
I jump up and hug him. ''Thank you'' I smiled.
***********************
''Bye Baby Girl'' Cato says affectionatly. He gently kisses my lips. ''Be careful'' he warns me.
''I will, see you later'' I reply. ''Bye'' he says and then runs off into the forest with Marvel.
I walk over to Rayna, who is lying on her back looking up at the clouds. I sit cross-legged next to her. She sits up, pain visable on her face.
''I think there's some painkillers over there, want one?''. ''Nah, I'm fine''
I pull down my hair and play with it.
''Is your hair naturally wavy?" Rayna asks. ''Only slightly'' I reply.
''Its so pretty, in district four all the girls hair is either bonde or sandy and either curly or wavy, mines straight and black. I hate it'' she complains
''I like it'' I simply state.
''You know who's hair I like? Annie Cresta, beautiful girl, shory, wavy, fiery red hair. Such a pity she went insame, thinks she's coming out of it now''
''Yeah, she's beautiful'' I say jelousy clear in my voice
''Rumor is, that Annie and Finnick Odair, you know Finnick, he won the games ten years ago, well rumor has it there dating. Cute eh?"
''Yeah cut'' I say still jelous of Annie's hair.
*********************
''I-im finished the mines'' Honnu calls. He's been at it all morning. Rayna and I walk-well I limp over my ankle- over to him.
The supplies are in a large pyramid.
''Mines go all around the pyramid, one step and ypur blown to bits, not possible to steal anything''
''WHAT!!!" I shriek. Rayna covers her ears with her hands.
''Unless you know how to get there'' Honnu replies smuggly.
After watching him a couple of times, we got it and can now get the supplies.
************************
The boys return around six with two rabbits. As I cook them, Honnu teachs them to get the supplies. Once the rabbits are cooked, I call everyone.
Cato and I share a rabbit, so does Rayna and Marvel. I look at Honnu.
''Want some?" I ask.
''Its fine I'm a vegitarian'' he replies
''Get some trail mix'' I call. He nods.
''Anything interesting happen today?"
''We tracked that crippled boy from ten today, he must have heard us, we couldn't find him, so tomorrow ye can come with us,we'll split up, so ye two girls will be with each other, we'll try and corner him'' Marvel says. I look at Cato. He nods.
''What about ye?" Marvel asks.
''Well we found out that Clove is extreamly jelous of Annie Cresta's hair'' Rayna smiles. I scowl at her. Cato chuckles.
''Well Marvel walked head first into a tree, so yours isn't that bad'' Cato chuckles as I burst out laughing. I continue to eat my rabbit, which is so much better then trail mix.
*************************
5 August 3113 (7th day in arena)
*************************
I wake in Cato's arms. I smile. I kiss him gently on the lips until he wakes.
''Morning sleepy'' I mock him.
''Morning Beautiful'' he yawns. I start munching on a little bag of trail mix.
I got up, streched and the woke everyone. While they ate, I tried to run on my ankle around the cornuccopia. Marvel was laughing at me until I kicked his shin, which he said hurted.
I slung my pack over my back, everyone coppied in suite. Honnu sat firmly with a spear in hand at the mouth of the cornuccopia, watching the supplies.
''Be careful, Clo'' Cato whispered. ''Ill be fine, stop worrying please, my ankle is fine''
''Yeah its better 'cause that kick hurt'' Marvel complained.
''Bye Marvel'' I laugh.
'See you at seven, I love you'' Cato smiles.
''Love you too'' I call as I jog into the forest with Rayna.
We navigate our way through the dense forest, trying to track that crippled boy, I'm suprised he made it that far.
The wind hits me hard as I zip up my jacket further. MockingJays are singing a peaceful tune. The wing is howling loudly. Our steps are silent. Its not possible to hear us. The only thing givong up away is our bright clothes against the green forest.
*********************
''Clove, look a footprint'' Rayna whisper-yells. I crouch down next to it, a large footpring -which I'm guessing is a males- embeded in the muck.
''It looks fresh'' I smile. ''Good'' she says pulling out her mace. I pick up a few dried up leaves and crumble them between my fingers. The wind carries them north.
''He or she is walking towards the wind, weird'' Rayna nods agreing with my previous statement.
I frown. I pick up a small stone. I signal Rayna to go around the tree. I have a feeling that there is something behind the tree. I'm unsure on what.
I throw the stone behind the tree and a squirrel runs up the tree. We break out in laughter.
''Look we have been walking for two hours already, in another hour, we can have lunch'' I suggest. She nods and we continue our trek along the flat forest floor.
*********************
'Pointless, must be a wild goose chase eh?'' Rayna suggests ''Clove you listening?''
''What? Oh yes sorry, I just keep hearing sounds'' I explain.
We find two large rocks and we sit down to eat. I pull out two apples and throw one to Rayna. She catches it and starts eating. I follow in suite.
We joke as we eat, laughing, like friends should.
I bite off the last chunk off apple and grab the stem and start twisting it, saying my ABC's on each twist. Back home, we're too poor to have fruit regularly, so its a treat for me when I do have fruit.
It lands on W. ''W'' I say. ''Um, Which way did he go?" Rayna ponders.
''That was stupid Rayna'' I say laughing. She starts laughing extreamly hard.
I kick my apple core away, still laughing at Rayna's stupidnes.
Then she stops laughing abruptly. I look at her. Her eyes are wide, cheeks pale, she's deadly still. I think she's messing so I laugh.
I stop laughing when blod pours out of her mouth like a waterfall onto her lap.
''Rayna?"
She falls on to the floor, lashing her face off the hard rocks. I see the poison dart in the back of her neck, before her cannon goes.
''RAYNA!!!" I rush to her side, panicking.
I pull out the dart, and flip her over. I put my ear over her mouth incase the cannon wasn't right.
It was. Tears fill in my eyes. ''C'mon Rayna, wake up, stop messing about Rayna,tnk how much your scaring you brother'' I yell. I shake her arm roughly.
''Wake up'' I cry ad the first tear falls. ''Please''
Its when I hear a russling sound I feel the anger. It was the district ten boy, I can sse the tip of his boot.
I charge at him, his leg buckles underneath him, causing us to fall. I step hard down on his fingers and dig my knees into his shoulders.
My knife goes down like a bullet to his head, he rolls his head left then right.
''For you Rayna'' I say as I stab him vicously in the throat three is the lucky number.
His cannon goes, but I don't stop. I continue to stab his throat, blood squirting in every possible direction.
I curse loudly at him. ''You bastard, you filthy son of a bitch'' I yell as I continue to stab him.
Once I'm finished I get up and kick him in the head as hard as possible.
''Bastard''
I limp back to Rayna. I start shaking her again.
''Rayna?" I hear someone ask. I look around and see Cato and Marvel, staring, mouths agap.
''What happened?" Cato asks panicked
''Shes in a better place now'' Marvel explains to me.
I snarl and charge at him. I flail my arms, tears cloud my vision. He grabs my arms to control me. ''She's not dead, the cannon was a miss-fire'' I cry.
I hear a gentle chime before I feel a sharp needle go into my arm.
Then I fall into complete darkness...
