SIREN #cato hadley

Y/N took a huge gulp of water, sweaty and tired after chasing a tribute down. He slipped out of her fingers, much to her displeasure, and she tripped on a tree root. A rookie mistake in her opinion.

Y/N panted, wiping the sweat off her forehead. She lifted her head, meaning to look up at the sky but she caught sight of a certain ravenette instead.

"Girl on fire?" She asked, arching an eyebrow. "I almost didn't see you."

Katniss drew an arrow, aiming it at Y/N. The H/C-haired girl sighed.

"Oh, relax. I'm saving you for last. You're safe for now. Want some water?" Y/N held up the canteen, shaking it around. Katniss slowly nodded, unsure of whether to trust the Career. She suspected it was poisoned but she saw Y/N drink from it.

"Here, catch." Y/N tossed the canteen at Katniss after screwing the lid shut. She sighed again, sitting at the base of the tree. "Gosh, I'm so tired. And my leg." Y/N groaned, brushing the dirt off her grazed knee. She scraped it when she tripped.

"How's the water taste?" She questioned, tapping her fingers against her leg. When she heard no reply, she grinned. She looked up, seeing Katniss knocked out.

"Don't trust your enemies, girl on fire." Y/N climbed up the trunk and began to raid Katniss' bag. She only left the useless stuff and made sure to grab any weapons.

"Have a nice sleep, Twelve."

"You know, if I was in an arena with Y/N, I would not survive a single day." Claudius said, "Especially if Cato was with Y/N. Those two make a deadly pair."

"I'm not sure what Y/N has used. Perhaps it was a plant. Smart, though. She fooled me." Caesar chuckled, clapping his hands for Y/N's smart trick.

"I'm worried about her and Cato, though." Claudius piped up, "It's clear they'll make it to the final five. And I'm their biggest shipper. I even have a shirt of them!" The yellow-haired man unbuttoned his jacket, revealing a shirt with Y/N and Cato on it surrounded by a big red heart.

"Hm, it's Katniss and Peeta for me." Caesar uttered, revealing his mug with a pattern of Katniss and Peeta on it.

Y/N quietly grunted as she jumped out of the tree, landing with a small thud. She sighed, clicking her knuckles.

"What shall I do now?" Y/N muttered to herself, shifting her weight from one leg to the other. Suddenly, her chin was tilted up. A knife was being pressed into her throat, drawing a line of blood.

"You stabbed me in the back. Literally." Lio growled, pressing the blade down more.

Y/N quietly winced. "It's not like we're allies." She elbowed him in the stomach and immediately turned around, punching Lio in the face. "You want to fight me after what I did to you in training? Brave, but stupid."

Y/N pointed her spear at Lio, circling him like a Lion circling their prey. Lio wiped the blood off his face, grunting.

Y/N whacked him with her weapon, knocking him to the ground. He grabbed her ankle, refusing to let go no matter how much she stomped on his body. Lio sank his teeth into her skin, causing Y/N to shriek out of pain and disgust.
