The Hunger Games - Careers First Love

First Love - Ten

          

After the next two day's  I was back to my normal strength. A boy from district three was with us and had rebooted the explosives to protect the food and supplies . I walked out my tent which I shared with Cato and stretched then went to get some food. Marvel came out with his spear raised and saw me.

"oh it's just you" he sneered

"morning to you too" I threw him some meat and i went under one of the tents and chilled. I was later joined by Cato who lifted my head onto his lap Burton joined us and we started chatting.

"who's left?" i ask

"male from district 10 both from 11 and 12 and the six of us" Burton replied i nodded

"hey guys look over here, come on, come on. look!" Marvel jabs his spear in a direction we all stand up and grab our things. We saw the smoke rising up from the trees. Cato turn back to the male from 3.

"Let's go, you stay guard to we get back" he orders and we run off. We get to where the fire is and its nothing but a pyre of wood and leaves.

"guys something is really wrong" i state but before anyone could reply the male from 10 comes storming out with a spear and throws it. there is a gasp and i turn round.

"Burton!" I scream turning back to 10 i two of my knifes and imbed them in his heart and stomach. he drops to the floor. One Cannon goes off.

"Burton" i run and lift him up

"nice throw" he wheezed i pull out the spear.

"thanks but you need to win remember." he smiles

"no chance thanks to 10." i say nothing

"do something for me" i nod crying he uses the last of his strength to reach up  to my ear. I lean down to help.

"don't let go of him" he whispered then let out his final breath the cannon goes off.

"Lace we have to go" just then there was a huge explosion and I was dragged away from my partners body. Running back to camp we saw that the supplies had been blown

"what the hell happened" Cato growled to the 3 male i stood looking around and i saw the girl on fire in the distance. I was to emotionally wrecked to care

"shit our stuff" Marvel huffed and Cato snapped the boy's neck girl on fire ran off back into the woods.

"girl on fire" i muttered

"Lacey what did you say?" Cato came up to me and i pointed to where i saw her

"girl on fire"

"Cato threes another fire" Marvel called

"go check it out. Clove you go to where Lacey just pointed she can't have gone far. Meet us by the lake." Cato ordered and they left.

"Lacey look at me" my eyes drifted to his.

"you have to snap out of it baby, Burton wouldn't want you like that especially when there is still three against us. come on" he lead me to the lake.

-Cato-

I sat Lacey down by the lake as she stared off into the distance. I felt sorry for her , the reason she wanted to fight wasn't for her but for her partner. Now she feels she has no purpose or goal. Her hands are covered with his blood so i begin to wash them  and take care of her. Clove came running back.

"no trace bitch is fast" she panted she then looked at Lacey

"what's wrong with her"

"she just lost her district partner Clove, the whole reason she was playing is to get him out and now he's dead. She's a little lost"

"its the hunger games she has to deal with it. And to think her parents are careers."

"lay off Clove"

"what is wrong with you, when did you become a lovesick puppy"

"I'm not i just love her. How would you feel if i was just killed" that shut her up. There were another two cannons.

"Marvel" she nods and runs of again. after i finish with Lace, Clove comes back.

"Marvel's dead girl from 12 got him with an arrow." i nod

"down to 6" i muttered we find a cave and settle down there.

"Attention tributes the regulations requiring a single victor have been suspended.  From now on two victors may be crowned if both from the same district. this will be the only announcement." Clove smiled

"good we can kill her" i stand in front of Lacey.

"no"

"Cato we can go home all we need to do is get rid of her 11 and 12 " she grinned

"no means no Clove"

"she will die Cato she's the only 8 now" i ignored her then wrapped my arms around Lacey. I sit and watch as she falls asleep, Clove follows and i not long after.

"Attention Tributes. Attention." I wake up as do the others "commencing at sunrise there will be a feast tomorrow at the cornucopia. This will be no ordinary occasion, each of you needs something desperately and we plan to generous hosts." then nothing

"Clove go get 2 and 8 bags"

"I'm not getting hers " she snarls and i glare at her hard.

"fine bloody hell your whipped" i ignore her comment and go back to sleep
