Hunger games. Clove's POV.

Chapter 22 - Explosion

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night we did nothing but rest. Cato sent out Kevin to get some wood for a fire and the three of us left sat down and relaxed.

"So what's up tomorrow?" Marvel asked and leaned back on his elbows.

"I was thinking we probably should find Katniss, since we're not so many tributes left you know." Cato said with a shrug and poked the ground with a stick.

"Aaand how do we find her?" I asked, taking a sip from a water bottle next to me.

"It's best if we split up. And we all know we can handle our selfs." Marvel said and I expected Cato to argue but he just nodded and continued to poke the ground with the stick. Guess he was mouring Glimmer's death or something. Me on the other hand, was really happy she was gone, she sure was a pain in the ass.

Kevin suddenly came in sight and then dropped the wood on the ground and started to make a fire. I decided I would help him so I got up and made my way over to him. Together we soon had made a fire spark on the ground.

-----

The next morning we quickly gathered our stuff and was just about to head out in different directions when I felt someone watch us. I snapped my head towards the forest to our right and flew my eyes over the bushes. 

"You ready?" Cato waved his hand in front of my face, making my lose focus. Cato had gotten in much a brighter mood during the night and now he was back to being his happy, annoying self.

"Yeaahhh...Sure." I said and pried my eyes away from the bushes, still having the feeling of someone watching us. 

"Guys, look! Over there!" Marvel shouted and pointed towards the other forest on our left. There was a small smoke coming up from the trees, like someone had a fire going on the ground.

We forgot our plans and all took off in that direction.

"You stay here and watch the supplies!" Cato shouted back to Kevin and he nodded quickly and grabbed a spear.

"The supplies doesn't need protection." I said with a frown while we ran towards the forest.

"I know that. I just don't want him coming along, he'd just reveal us." Cato shrugged and we didn't say anymore instead we increased our speed and rushed through the forest.

We came to a stop by a big pile of wood and branches who were all just smoking. No sign of fire left but someone sure started that fire. I looked up and suddenly saw another smoke coming up from the trees just some miles away from where we currently were standing.

"Let's go!" Marvel shouted and started sprinting towards the smoke.

"Wait, Marvel, it's a trap!" I shouted to him, suddenly realizing that some tricky bastard set this up for us.

"Well, we have to check!?" He shouted back but did stop and turn around.

"Oooor we could just go back to camp and eat. I'm starving, we'll check it later." Cato said and turned around and started walking back from where we came from.

I gave Marvel a pleading look before following Cato. Soon I heard Marvel follow us and I sighed in realief. It's not that I didn't want to check the smoke too, but Marvel couldn't just run off like that, it would be unneccesary for him to get killed like that.

While we walked back, Marvel and I was trying so hard not to laugh at Cato's stomach, who wouldn't stop rumble in hunger. He soon got annoyed and snapped at us but his stomach just rumbleded higher when he did that and soon we where all laughing at Cato's hungry stomach.
