A True Tribute

Chapter 11: Hunting

The other tributes barely got anything from the cornucopia, it was basically still full. We had a wide variety of swords, spears, backpacks, knifes, everything crucial to survival.

Clove walks over to Cato and nudges him just before he speaks.

"Let's go guys."

I know what he means. I've been waiting for this moment all day. Hunting.

"Who's gonna guard the stuff?" I ask curiously. We exchange looks until someone brings something, anything up.

"I have an idea. come in here" Clove instructs, motioning towards the inside of the cornucopia.

As we are In and settled she begins to speak. "So we should gather all if the supplies and put a trap around it."

"What kind of trap?" Marvel asks.

"Land mines."

"That's a great idea. Lets get started on it." Cato says positively.

Once its all set up with a secret way to get in, we head off.

"Where first?" I ask.

"Though there." Cato motions to the far left side if the cornucopia where tall woods stand. An opening of tree branches stand there as if awaiting our arrival.

As we walk , we have our weapons drawn throughout the journey for tributes, ready for any sprouting attack.

"Did you hear that?" Clove states out of nowhere.

"Oh ya I heard it,"Cato says.

Then I hear it, a crackling of bushes. Bushes all around us. I peer into a particular one do find a dirt covered face. Peeta. "there he is!" I shout and draw my bow. But just before I release Cato stops me.

"Glimmer! don't kill him!" Cato walks over to Peeta with an angry face painted on him. " You. Your coming with us." He says to Peeta sternly.

"Why is he coming with us?!" I protest.

"He's gonna help us find fire girl."

I actually think that's a good idea. He is the key to finding her. And then,...killing her.

As we walk Cato explains to Peeta what is happening as we walk. "So were gonna head out to search for tributes."

"What are we gonna do with them?" Peeta asks.

"Are you serious?" Cato questions.

Peeta then regrets what he said.

"But your main duty, is to find Fire Girl."

"Katniss?"

"Yeah, your gonna lead us to her, so we can kill her. Do you have a problem with that?" Cato asks with as straight face. Peeta shakes his head nervously.

"Then let's be on our way."

.

The sky soon grows darker, and we've only killed one tribute. But Clove insisted on doing it. So that means I get the next one, we decided to take turns, which I find odd, I wouldn't call the hunger games fair.

"Should we just head back, you think?" Marvel asks.

"No. we keep moving" Cato says.

I find no reason to leave, there are about 12 Or so tributes out there, we are bound to find at least one more.

Our luck begins to reveal itself as I see a shining light of some kind in front of us. I squint a bit harder, to see flames.

"Guys, stop" I instruct.

"What?" Cato asks.

"Look over there" I say, pointing to the small fire I front if us. Once .they see it, we tip tie over to the girl. I believe she was from district eight.

As we stand jus behind her, she turns around. And a priceless expression of fright is revealed on her face. " Please! Please don't kill me!" she cries. we laugh and chuckle as Cato hands me his sword.

I slice her head clean off as she screams for help.

"That was great Glimmer" Marvel says.

"Thanks."

"Okay now that we've had our fun. Bread Boy is going to lead us to Katniss" Cato says, crossing his arms as he glares in Peeta's eyes.

Peeta takes a deep breath and begins to speak. "I'm pretty sure she went this way" he explains pointing east.

Following his orders, we slump east, in search of her while we laugh and talk about the last victim.

"I love how she said 'please don't kill me!' what a wimp" I smirk.

"Most people actually don't want to die" Clove states like a smart Alec. I just roll my eyes and ignore her.

Cato seems confused in our direction, it seems as if there is no one for miles.

Cato brings up the problem.

"You sure she went this way?" Cato asks Peeta.

"I'm sure."

"Are you sure we shouldn't just kill him now?" I complain to Cato after Peeta continues walking.

"We can't. He's our only chance of finding her."
