No Time To Die | A Hunger Games FanFiction TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED

𝖲𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗇

Our little promise was kinda stupid, because one of us will have to die in order for there to be a winner anyways. So how stupid is it that we made a promise not to kill each other when if we get to the end of the game and it's just the two of us left, one of us will have to kill the other. I do weird things when I'm sleepy.

While training that day I spent more time watching Katniss. There really isn't much to her, just that she braids her hair and shoots an arrow with scary precision. But if I were to get on top of her and overpower her, she'd be doomed. I roll my eyes and kinda chuckle to myself.

"What's so funny?" Marvel asks.

"Oh...it's nothing!" I said in between laughs.

"Ok?"

I was showing Marvel how to start a fire, and I was pretty sure he already knew how to but wanted to hang out with me. I didn't take this as anything more than just trying to get to know me more. Then again we are both careers and we're obligated to team up. Cato and Glimmer have been getting more comfortable with one another too.

"So after the fire is lit, what's next?"

"Oh you tend it, it won't be this strong the whole time."

"Ah, makes sense."

I nod. My eyes are otherwise occupied with Cato and Glimmer. Cato was behind her, holding her arms and showing her how to shoot. Which made no sense cause she already knew how to shoot an arrow. They were laughing. What were they laughing about? Whatever. Maybe I'm overthinking this because Catos just not as smart as me. He probably doesn't realize that she's doing this for his attention. Since when did training become like recess?

CATO:
Glimmer knew how to shoot, she was a decent shot. I knew she was there to get my attention. But I decided to humor it more because seeing Clove with Marvel made my skin crawl. How in the world do you not know how to make a fire after years in the academy?

"Cato!" She yells, "I did it!"

"That's great."

"It's all because of your help."

Glimmer only wants to be friends, I'm sure she doesn't want anything romantic with me. Even if she did it would probably be strategic.

"I heard you're quite skilled with a sword!"

I mean come on, I wouldn't go for someone like her. My hearts been broken by a blonde once.

"Cato?"

Let's just say they're not my type anymore.

"You are there?"

My type now is-

"Cato!"

My eyes dart from Clove to Glimmer. She's standing next to me, hands on her hips.

"What's got your attention? Hello I'm complimenting you!"

I roll my eyes, "Just go back to shooting Glimmer."

She laughs, "Okayyy, I think I know who it is though!!"

"Shut up!"

CLOVE:
The next day was the interview. But I can't really pay attention cause I know what's tomorrow. What's tomorrow is the thing I've dreaded and dreamed for. Fabby is talking to me about the dress. But I'm completely zoned out to even notice.

"Clove!"

"Huh?"

"You're done."

I turn my head to look in the mirror. I almost don't recognize myself. The dress is flowy and voluminous. It has hues of pinks and orange. It's very ruffled.
