The pride of district 2?

Chapter 8:

*Cato*

We stay by the lake for the rest of the day, and when we get back to camp, we can say we were setting up traps for food, and other tributes.

I go to sleep with Clove next to me, as she takes first watch. I protectively lay a hand on her and she lets me use her lap as a pillow. She doesn't wake me up, but I don't object to more sleep. Tomorrow we can hunt down the others.

"Clove?" I whisper as I wake up

"Yes, Cato." She replies

"You were supposed to wake me or Marvel so we could take watch." I say.

"Sorry, I thought I heard someone around here so I stayed up to make sure you didn't get hurt" and with that, she collapses onto the ground. At first, I'm not worried, but then I realise a cut in her arm.

"Marvel! Glimmer! Peeta! Help me!" I yell, as they wake up. Marvel rushes to my assistance, and so does Peeta. Glimmer faints, noticing the obvious pool of blood around us. Maybe Clove is right, she's pathetic, especially for one of us.

I keep a firm hold of Clove, begging her to stay with us, with me. I hope it's not too late for the medicine in one of the parachutes that come down.
