The mutt growls at her, saliva dripping from its mouth. She stabs her knife into its neck, making fall limp beside her.

Cato, stands next to her, pale and still in shock from the mutts appearance. "We have to go before more come. Now!" She grabs his hand and brings him down the mountain, not sure why she was helping him after her murder attempt.

They run through the forest, hearing the heavy footsteps of two other dog-like muttations behind them. They make it to the clearing, aiming for the Cornucopia. Clove feels Cato slowing down behind her. "Come on!" She yells, feeling a new sensation of adrenaline running through her. They run through the opening and reach the golden Cornucopia. Clove gets up top of it, and helps Cato to get on. Just in time too, a second too late and the mutts would have taken him. He collapses ontop of the metal and pants, the life slowly draining out of him. She yanks off her jacket, despite the coldness and presses it against his wound. "Hold this here." She instructs.

She stares in the opposite direction of where they came from and sees Katniss and Peeta running towards them. Shit. She grabs one of her knives and throws it at Peeta as they draw nearer. He falls over, screaming in pain. The shock registers Katniss but she knows she must keep running, otherwise the mutts will get her. She climbs the Cornucopia and aims her arrow at Clove. Clove stands there, poised with a knife in her hand.

"Well one of us is gonna have to go down there." Clove sneers.

"Yes. That's correct." Katniss smirks.

"I was thinking it should be the traitor." Clove suggests.

"Oh really? Didn't you stab your own District partner?" Katniss accuses her.

"He killed my brother!" Clove snaps. "I did what I had to do." She adds.

"Well. I would never do that. Therefore I am not the real traitor here. You are." Katniss taunts.

"Fuck yourself, Everdeen." Without warning, Clove throws the knife into Katniss's stomach. The impact causes her to fall off the edge, plummeting down into the mutts below who begin to eat her alive. Shortly after a cannon goes off. Clove rushes over to Cato to make sure it isn't his. By God's grace, it isn't, but she has noticed a drastic change in his breathing and heart rate.

"Cato." She says. He opens his eyes and stares at him, the hurt in them being undeniable. "Kill me. Save yourself and go home."

A smile forms on his lips. He shakes his head. "It's too late. Thank you for everything Clove. I hope you can forgive me one day." Cato tells her. "I love you." He whispers. A cannon goes off.

Tears she didn't know she was holding back fall down. Her whole life she had been wrong about this boy. A coldness numbs her entire body and the sounds of trumpets playing in the backround get blocked out. No, she cannot live without him. They either win together or die together.

Without thinking, Clove takes one of her knives and buries it deep into her chest. Her head sways and she falls forward ontop of Cato's lifeless body.

Then it all fades into black.
