Chapter 7:
*Clove's POV*
I go to sleep next to Marvel, since he won't mind. I know Peeta will, since he's muttering Katniss' name as he sleeps, and the space next to Cato has a bow and arrow in it. Glimmer? At this thought I know I'm just tired, so I go to sleep.
When I wake up, Marvel and Peeta are staring into the corner, almost frowning with shame. I follow their glance and see Glimmer lying on top of something. Wait, not something, someone. Cato.
I anger, I run over and prive Glimmer, who is a lot bigger than me, from Cato, dump her onto the ground and pounce onto her. I carefully select a sharp and dainty spare knife and begin to bring it down on her, when I am yanked out of the air by a great force.
"PUT ME DOWN!" I screech
"I'm afraid I can't do that." I hear him speak, but I can't register his voice. "Cato! Stop it! Put me down now!" I plead. We reach a lake nearby.
"Here you go" he says and puts me on the ground gently.
I start to cry and face away. He comes to comfort me but I push him away.
"What's gotten into you?" He asks
"You kissed Glimmer! What do you think has gotten into me?" I yell.
"Didn't you see me trying to push her off?" He says.
"You weren't! If you had tried then she would've already been on the ground!" I reply.
"Clove." He forces me into his arms. "What?" I look up into his eyes and see they are also filled with tears.
"I do love you, can't you trust me with that? I love you with all my heart, and I always will. I can't make it any clearer." He says.
"You know I feel the same, Cato. And that's why I did that, ok? I didn't want to loose you." I cry. And this time, it's me that leans in for a kiss.
