A beast. That was it. But why? Why. Oh i know why! The games are way to long and need a end. I turned around and saw Cato getting up. He threw the knives inside the backpack and started quietly running. I let him go. "Clove i'll be back." He whispered while running. I nodded. I was on my own. Time to vist Thresh. I walked back to Thresh's old place.

In a matter of time i was in the middle of the arena. I was lucky enough to spot Thresh much earlier than planned. He was ready to fight. His fists in position. What's his weapon anyways other than a rock. I crossed my arms and leaned against a tree ready for the show. I made an evil grin. Thresh was huffing and anger in his eyes. His fists clentched. I widened my eyes. Wow.

A few minutes later we heard another howl. This one was much closer. Much more frightening. I covered my ears. This howling won't stop. It's much worse than thunder. *Howls* Another one. I was hopeing the beast would come over here. I was down for a good show.

It has been a hour and nothing. Thresh had a bearable fire by now. He seemed cozy. A little too cozy. He felt a presance. Yet this was a sweet nice gentle one. My presance was harsh evil mean cruel one. I walked closer and i was shocked at what i saw. This can't be. Impossible. It was Rue. I know i'm dead but how can i see her? Can she see me? I didn't see Foxface's presance. Then how could i see Rue's? Only one word came to my mind.

Love.

She was touching his shoulder and comforting him. My heart felt warm. I never seen this type of love. Brother and sister love. I was the only child in my cruel family.

*Flashback* Reaping day:

I was in the girls from ages 12-15 I was in the back row with my mom.Cato was a few feet away from me. He kept whispering to me "Don't volunteer." Who does he think i am? I would never. I had my arms crossed i was looking very confident. I then heard heels come upon stage. It was a women with Red hair, clown makeup, And horible fashion."Welcome ladies and gentlemen. I am honered to be here and pick out 2 beautiful names to have the honer of repreasenting District 2 in the 74th anual Hunger Games. As always Ladies firs- She was cut off by my mothers voice."She volunteers!" my mom said while pushing me harshly to the stage. "CLOVER get up on stage!" My mom said happily. I was speechless heartbroken but in the inside confident. My mom just wanted me to die. She would always beat me when i talked with Cato. She never got the chance to beat me to death. So this is how she is giving up.

I made a quick glance to Cato. He was disapointed. I made a quick frown.

I confidently walked on stage. I shook her hand. I spoke in the microphone. "My name's Clover Kentwell but i prefer Clove." I said happy. Then as soon as she was about to speak Cato shouted. "I VOLUNTEER!" No Cato! What are you doing? He ran on stage and shook my hand. My sweaty hand. We are the Districts 2's tributes. One thought killed me. Somebody is going to die...

*End of flashback*

I was awaken by a manly scream. I shook my head and there it was. Thresh's dead body. Rue was gone. Thresh was gone. It was all in the hands of Cato to win.

For me.

For us.

I was pretty happy that Thresh died. He deserved it for ruining my dreams, But yet i also deserved to die. I did tease Everdeen that 'we' killed Rue. Since Thresh was dead this show of mine was gone. I wonder how Rue would react. She didn't deserve none of this. Inside the cold person i still had a heart in there.

It took about 10 minutes for me to find Cato. He was under a tree un noticiable. Good. I saw him sharpening his sword. He looked frightened. I went and sat next to him. I patted his shoulder. He cringed a little. He looked around. He stood up and was ready to kill.

I sighed at the thought that i could have been with him. Kinves in hand. By his side. It was then that i heard a growl. Cato ran west. I followed. By the path of it he was heading to the Cornucopia. I had this feeling in my chest. This hard feeling. Somthing's going to happen. It's no good. "Cato! Cato! Go back! What do you think you're doing!?" I yelled to him. He didn't hear. Infact this made him run faster to the blood bath.

I tried catching up but it was no good. I slowed down. Cato kept running. We could see half of the Cornocopia. The steel. I saw a figure. It was a human figure. I ran to the figure. It was lover boy! He was on top of the Cornocopia. With no weapon. This is good. Cato was on the Cornocopia with Lover boy in a matter of seconds. I got on top also. By now there were only 3 people. I was next to Cato. "So we meet again? Lover boy! Haha. Where's Katniss? Don't tell me she's dead?" Cato teased him.

"Back off." Lover boy growled.

"Cato you heard him back off." I murmerd.

"Don't tell me what to do." Cato huffed as he pushed Lover boy making him fall. "Cato that's enough!" I screamed. My scream was blocked by a pack of...Beasts trying to get up. There were more than i thought. They suronded the Cornocopia. I saw Everdeen trying to get up. She looked so weak right now. I couldn't tell Cato to stop. Just keep on going. Lover boy was trying to help her up. Grabbing her hand. Yet Cato also letting her loose grip. On the bottom of her shoes were hungry, wild beasts. I grinned.

I enjoyed the show. Everdeen finally got a way up. She had her bow and arrow ready to aim. Peeta was by her side on the other side of the Cornocopia. I was on Cato's side. Cato made the first move and attacked Lover boy. He brought him to my side. Knife placed in throut. Cato was teaseing Everdeen on how he would kill him if she aimed on killing him. I was next to Cato. "STOP CATO JUST KILL HIM! You could win. Don't make the same mistake i made." I was protecting Cato. Then i heard the words. Those words.

"Just do it i'm dead anyways." Cato pleaded. That made my body weak. He needs me in his life. Those words kept sinking in my head.

I'm dead anyways.

I was so weak i couldn't do anything. My harmos took control. I let a tear drop.

I felt like gravity was pushing me against this world. This felt so real. I felt alive. I felt happy. Joy.

It was like magic escaped his words.

All of a sudden i felt

Love.

Then somthing killed me. Everdeen aimed for his hand. Cato let go of lover boy and cried in pain. He kept going back untill he fell. He fell to die.

He fell inlove.

I lost it. My lump became horible. I cried. I went down with him and just cried. I was kneeled beside him. The dogs ate his face. His bloody face. I touched his face. My arms were weak. My heart disapeard. My whole body lost it. I cried in his chest. Grabbing his shirt. "Cato come back!! Cato. Cato. Cato. I need you." I cried harder. He was dead. He couldn't hear me. I felt alone. I cried hard. I lost the love of my life.

I blacked out. The afterlife has come.

A bitter sweet afterlife...
