The Hunger Games, Cloves P.O.V

The Announcement

We wake up to the sun beaming down on us, most of our supplies are nothing but rubble, we're left with a few apples and a small pack of meat to get by, luckily we have all the water we need from the lake, water will keep us alive longer, but won't help our growling stomachs. I count my knives and repostion them neatly, cato lies asleep on the ground his sword tightly clenched in hand, and marvel says he's going out to look for other tributes. I decide to stay and relax for the day. Cato wakes up and asks where marvel is "Went out to look for tributes" I say as I tie my boot lace tightly, "he should be back soon." Cato fills a container with water and drinks it down, he wipes his mouth and eats an apple, we wait for marvel to return. Two cannons cause both our heads to whip around and scan the area, were those both marvels kills? If it was him, he'd be back shortly. But he never came back, and when night rolls in and the capitol theme begins to play, sure enough his face is in the sky along with the young girl from 11, who we learn is rue. We're guessing she's marvels kill, but as for marvel we are unaware of how he died, but guess he was killed in revenge for killing rue, possibly thresh. Me and cato both look at one another and it really sits in marvel is gone. I stare at the ground feeling a sort of emptiness, then lay out my jacket, and fall fast asleep. I open my eyes and Cato is looking out in the distance, "theres six of us left" he says, and I count on my fingers and think who we all are, katniss, peeta, thresh, cato, and I, oh yah and the girl from 5 with the orange hair. I'm standing up and stretching when the announcement booms through the arena "Attention tributes, there has been.. a slight rule change, now two tributes may be crowned victor as long as they are from the same district, that is all." The news is spinning through my head when I turn to cato, "Cato! We can both go home!" He's taking in the news and unexpectdedly picks me up, and I wrap my arms around him feeling safer than I have, we can both go home, we can work as a team, I don't have to feel alone anymore. "We can both go home." He says "We can both go home." I repeat, and now just as glimmer layed with her head on his chest, my head lays, feeling his heartbeat, realizing how good it feels to have a human being next to you and feel so close again. And with that we just lay, and talk about winning the games and going back home, together.
