The HungerGames (Clove+ Cato)

Chapter 22

We lie silently. The wind blows. We breathe each others air. I feel his chest coming up and down. I rest my head on his chest. I feel like nothing can separate us. Ever. Not even Snow, or the games he has created. In just a few hours we'll win. Just me and Cato. And we'll be left alone. Forever. Me and Cato...Cato and I...Cato...Cato...

****BOOM!!!!!!***

I jolt right up. Standing with my knife ready to attack. Cato is standing too.

This is whats going through my head: Either, Katniss and Peeta killed the red head, or red head killed either Katniss or Peeta, or Katniss killed Peeta, or vise versa. I hope Peeta killed Katniss, though it's unlikely but still possible, I didn't like Katniss in the first place. But for Peeta's sake I hope the red head died and not Katniss.

"We should start moving." I say sternly.

Cato takes two knives and and holds them with both hands.

I have my knife collection with me at all times. Inside my jacket, I've arranged them, the're useless now, but I'd prefer to bring them along just in case I need them. I take my small backpack and fit as many knives as I can.

We start down our small camp, and head for the direction the 'boom' came from.

It's getting dark fast. We better find them or we're going to have to look for them in pitch black. And we don't have our night vision goggles anymore since our main camp got destroyed.

I follow Cato, aiming my knife at any sign of movement. I wonder why the gamemakers haven't added any more mutts other than the big birds. Then it comes to me. They were waiting for a good moment.

The best moment for them is in a few moments when we find the last pair of tributes.u

I put my hand on Cato's shoulder and he turns around.

I bring his head close and whisper,

"I think this will be the Finale. Now just in case..." and I lean up and give him a good, hard, reassuring kiss.

"Clove," he puts his hand on my cold cheeks,"Don't worry, " His hand slips from my cheek to my shoulder. He gives me a big warm hug and says,

"Let's go now." He kisses my forehead and we're off running.

There's a bit of daylight left in the sky. The sun is going down fast, and we have to find them. We've sprinted for a while now. We stop and look around, and start running again.

My breath is hitched. I'm tired but I push myself to keep running.

We're much closer to the Cornicopia. I can see it's top, it's shining a bit of light that's left.

---------------------------------

The sun is down now. Everything is still visible, but very little.

---------------------------------

Soon it's night. We finally stop running, and look around. Everything is blurry and unclear. Just like the incident with the tracker jackers. I look around.

Nothing.

My ears are hot, but when I touch them they're cold.

I walk to where Cato has stopped running. He doesn't look as tired as I do, he's staring at something in the forest in front of him. I walk over to him. I look at what he's watching.

I want to scream, but my throat is too dry, it's hard to even make an effort to scream.

I feel brain dead right now. I can't think of what to do. The only thought that comes to me is:

'Oh, no. RUN.'
