10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1. I run to the cornucopia. I grab a bag and strip it of it's knives.
"Clove! That kid's getting away!" Cato yells. I look and watch as a boy runs, reaching for a bag. District 12 grabs the bag at the same time.
Sweet... I think to myself. I grab a throwing knife and hurl it, watching as it hit the boy in the heart. I pull my arm back and throw another knife at 12, but she lifts the bag, just in time, too. I snarl and run at her, but turn around when Cato tells me to kill a dude. I rip the knife out of the boy's back, and hurl it at a girl. Dead.
"Alright. That's everybody?" Cato calls as I stab the girl from three.
"Ha. You wish." I call out. Cato rolls his eyes. Then the cannon starts to sound.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. I count in my head.
"Heh. That's half." I chuckle.
"Don't laugh yet, Clove. We still ha..." Cato says before Loverboy interrupts him.
"I want to join the Careers." he says, acting all casual.
"Why? What about your little girlfriend?" I sneer. He doesn't even flinch.
"I will worry about her later." Loverboy says, still acting casual.
"Well, just so you know, we're going to kill her too." Glimmer sneers. I glare at her, and she backs down.
"I know. And I'll worry about that when the time comes." he says.
"Alright. You can join. But, if you backstab us, you are going to be killed." Cato agrees.
"Hey, Glimmer?" I whisper, gently shaking her arm. "Glimmer!"
"What?" she whispers, annoyance in her voice.
"Thanks for making Cato happy." I whisper, then crawl back to my sleeping bag.
