Clove's pov

After we killed Three and Ten ( the boys) I turn to Cato.

" we should break the alliance now. I'm sure they're thinking the same thing"

He agrees with me, so we go to the other side of the cornucopia where Glimmer and Marvel are. Cato barely gets one word in, when a spear is protruding from his stomach.

Marvel. He's readying an other spear, but I react faster and a knife is in his throat before he knows what hit him. I'm instantly alert, looking for that blonde bimbo, when I'm suddenly tackled to the ground from behind. I yelp in surprise and turn around to find myself face to face with Glimmer.

" I guess I'm not as brainless as you thought, huh Two?" I don't answer. The cannon fires for Marvel. Wait, where's the one for...?" What, cat got your tongue?"  she pretends to be thinking. " actually, that's a good idea. I think I'll cut your tongue off, then kill you"  she sneers at me. " We have to give the Capitol a good show, right?"  keep talking, you little...

She takes out a very sharp knife. " Yes, we have to give them a show they'll remember"  Yes, whatever you say, I think.

Right when she tries to get me to open my mouth to start cutting me, she's pulled off me, by Cato. She screams.

" Cato? But you... Marvel..." she barely gets another scream in before Cato drives his sword through her, right in her heart. The cannon fires, then Cato sinks to the ground. I get to my feet.

" Cato! I thought you were dead! I realized you weren't when only one cannon fired"

" I..I  don't even know how I'm still here" I look to where he fell earlier and see the bloody spear, I look at him and I know he's beyond saving.

" Cato...I'm going to win, I promise"

" I know you will...but Clove, do me a favor?"

" Of course, anything" I'm not prepared for what he asks of me.

" Kill me"

" What?! "how could he ask me that? We've been friends for as long as I can remember.

"  I don't want my death to be by some undeserving fool like Marvel. I mean, look at how easily you killed him"

I understand...I guess. " OK, I'll do it. Because you're right. It would be a disgrace to our district"  I grab my favorite knife, point it at his heart and look at him one last time. He nods and I drive the knife through his heart.
