Cloves Sister

Beast

Authors Note
At this point I don't really know how many tributes are left. So I am just going with two other than Ralis , Cumin and Afid.

I wake early in the morning to the snapping of a stick. I look around to find that
Ralis and Cumin at both standing behind trees starting at me with wide eyes. I can still hear sticks snapping behind me but something tells me not to look. As the stick sounds are nearing I look behind me to find something that resembles a cat but at the same time looks like a lizard, but is a big as a horse .It walks at a slow pace at first. Stopping sometimes and listening. Leaving no stone unturned as if it is looking for something, it is at that moment I realise what it is looking for, me. My heart beat races and I clench one of my knives knowing that it wouldn't do much if the beast attacked. Before it reaches me it turns in another direction, a sigh of relief Passes through my lips. Then as I slowly step out of the sleeping bag and make my way quietly towards Ralis and Cumin. Cumin and Ralis give me a look of terror and then focus on something behind me. This time I do not have to look I can here that the pace the creature was travelling has increased and we run on into the night, not having time for night vision glasses. I feel like a mouse in a maze, stumbling around in the darkness not knowing if the next step I take is on solid ground. Cumin follows Ralis and I do the same, I am not getting lost again. The created gets closer and close I can feel it's body heat radiating in the cold night. I can see in the distance a person, I can't tell if it is a girl or a boy only that they are just as scared as us and starts to run in the same direction. At this point I am really impressed with Cumins speed and stamina. As time passes every step feels like my last and an almost unbearable pain is in my chest. The only thing that keeps me going is that I know that if I stopped I would be in more pain .The person ahead of us slowly becomes part of the group , I see that it is a girl he long blonde hair blowing in the wind .Eventually she falls behind us and as does she shares with me a look . At this point I know she has given up , she has accepted her death. I want to say something but I can't get the words out the only thing I can nod is nod at her. When I hear a scream I know it's to late for who ever that was. The cannon sounds and the beast disappears as if it was never there at all. As if it was some sort of nightmare.

We stop and regroup, all of us gasping for air. We decide to make camp right where we are because none of us have the energy to move any further. I think of they dead, something that I have not done in a while. "At least they got way" I think, I don't want to think of they fate of the rest of us who are left. Am I wicked? Is it bad that I a happy they are dead?I spend another night in Ralsis sleeping bag. When Cumin is asleep he says in almost a whisper leaning closer to my ear " kiss me". I give him a look of almost disgust turn around and pretend to go to sleep, but I can't. I don't know what to think about this ,because I know it's a show and everything but I just can't , well not tonight anyway. When the real possibility of death has come close. You know what they say you can't fool death twice.
