I ended up drifting off not long after, I'm awaken by screams. There was a thud next to me, my eyes flew open. A scream escaped my mouth as a Tracker Jacker nest lands right next to me, i stumble away as pure chaos erupts. Glimmer was shouting as she fell to the ground, she was covered in stings.
My heart was racing wildly as i swatted at the Tracker Jacker's threatening to sting my skin. I fall to the ground just when sharp pains run up my back, my vision became blurry. I called Cato's, Marvel's and Clove's names but the words came out as loud moans, Glimmer was surely dead.
My skin felt as if it was on fire, i felt a hand on my back then another scream. A body falls to the ground next to me, i push myself up ignoring the pain shooting up my back, neck, arms and legs. I struggle to walk forward since my vision is failing me, my shaking hands feel around for a bush i could hide in. I fine one and almost leap in it, the branches and leafs scratch my body making me yelp in pain. I needed to get to safety while the Tracker Jacker sting wore off, so i sat in the bush; legs pulled close to my chest as tears streamed down my face.
I just want to see my siblings, i want to be held by Cato.
Darkness clouded my vision fully this time and i found myself fighting the urge to pass out. But it was no use as my heavy eyelids shut.

"Becca," Why was someone always calling my name?
"Open your eyes." I peal my eyes open and meet the face of Cato, a smile replaces his worried face.
He lifts me up and leans me on a tree. "What happened? Are you okay? Is Glimmer dead? Is Marvel dead? Is Clove-" The questions leave my mouth quicker than my brain could think. Cato stops me by pressing his lips on mine, a transient kiss.
He pulls away and i smile, then his face turns into one of anger. His hands wrap around my throat and he squeezes, the air is cut off. I claw at his skin as i see black dots. How could be do this to me?
"You're worthless." That wasn't Cato's voice; it was my fathers. Cato's face is shifted into my fathers face, i close my eyes not wanting to face him.
"Worthless." And with that i pass out.

I shoot up from my sleep, a yelp comes from next to me. I turn and see Wyatt, my face lights up as i hug him.
"Woah, you need to rest, you have 23 stings." I pull back and scowl at him, i felt fine.
"What did you do? I feel great." I stand up from my spot, he must have moved me from the bush.
"If you did the plant course in training you would know." He says snarling, i dust my clothes off and roll my eyes. "So what did you see?" I turn to him as he stands up.
"What?" I ask.
"In your hallucinations?" I shrug pulling my jacket to my chest.
"Just Cato and my father."
"Cato?" I nod.
"Yep, i don't want to talk about it. Have you seen the Careers?" I say and start to walk towards the creek, i was dehydrated badly.
"No, not since Katniss knocked down that Tracker Jacker nest." I spin around, face bright red from anger.
"She did that! I'm gonna kill that little bitc-" Wyatt cuts me off.
"Calm down we'll get her, but only with help from the Careers." I continue to walk, i was so mad, thirst and hunger wasn't helping either.
I dip my hands in the water once i got there, the water instantly makes me feel better. "So how long was i out?" I ask sitting down by the stream.
"A day and a half at least." Thoughts fill my mind, were the Careers looking for me? Was Cato okay?
"Who's dead?"
"Glimmer, and a few other Tributes." Wyatt pulls out a backpack and then some dried meat, my mouth waters at the sight.
"Here, you need to eat." I dig into the meat, it felt amazing having food in my stomach again.
After eating i stand and start to walk towards the Cornucopia, Cato mentioned that if we ever got separated that's where they'd be. "Where are we going?" The brunette boy asks.
"The Cornucopia."
