Promises (A Clato Fanfic)

Chapter 19: Killing Katniss

Clove POV:

I just now realized we haven't killed Katniss. She's still sitting there looking shocked and probably trying to process what just happened. I look at Cato and he nods for me to continue. "Don't forget give the audience a good show." Cato says and runs the other way. I finally can kill Katniss.

I see her bow laying a couple feet away from her on the ground. I go and pick it up and taunt her with it, like she taunted Glimmer. "Now, where were we? Oh I was just about to kill you. Well now that that's over I can kill you." I tell her and grab a knife and walk over to he grinning sadistically.

''Look, just make it quick. Gale, take care of them." she says. She must be talking about her family. For a second, I feel really bad for her, but then a knock away that thought and continue to give the audience a good show.

"First, you steal our spotlight at the parade. Then you get a higher score than us. And lastly, you stole mine and Cato's moment at the interviews. Now you're gonna pay." I get my knife and carve the word 'Firegirl' on her arm. She screams in agony. Perfect.

"Let's see how much pain the girl on fire can really take." I carve 'Loverboy' on her other arm. She cries some more.

"Now, for the finale. Say goodbye to your family, Firegirl. You can rot in hell all alone. Maybe even join your boyfriend, Peeta." I say then I slice her throat. Her canon booms and marks her dead. I killed Katniss. The thought of it makes me smile, but another part of me feels sick for doing what I've done. She was innocent. Sure, she was better than me, but that doesn't mean she had to die. I start looking for Cato when the hovercraft comes for her body.

I start to search for Cato, when I hear a canon. A canon. Cato could be dead. I lose it and start screaming "Cato! Cato! Where are you?" I start to cry. My true love could be dead. But there was two more people besides him. Think positive Clove.

It's been about an hour since I heard that canon. Still no sign of Cato. I'm starting to lose hope.

I start eating my dinner, when I hear a rustling in the bushes. At first, I think it's Cato. I start to run up to it, but it jumps out at me. This isn't Cato. This is some sort of wolf with blonde fur and emerald green eyes with a collar with the number 1 on it. This isn't any ordinary wolf. It's Glimmer in beast form.

The game makers must've done this. I don't know what else to do, so I start running for the cornucopia.
