The pride of district 2?

Chapter 9:

*Clove*

I see the butterflies in the sky above me, and look down to see Cato. He's saying something to me, I can't hear him, but it looks like I've been injured. He hugs me and then I notice a sharp pain in my arm. When I look around, he injects me with something, and it stops the pain immediately. Marvel hands me some of my water and I regain full consciousness.

I hug everyone, even Peeta, for helping me. I ask what happened to Glimmer and Marvel says

"Poor thing, passed out at the sight of your blood." While pointing at a pool of thick red liquid. I take a step back, realising what happened. I ask to see Cato, but even Peeta says that he's in shock.

"Hey." I say, trying to be as calm as possible. In response, he just grabs me and holds me for a while, not wanting to let go. He still looks startled. He tells me what happened,

"I woke up, and you said that you took the whole night watch, and then you passed out. You really scared me! You were dead! Your heart stopped!" And he starts to cry. I must mean a lot to him if I make him cry, and not out of anger, this much.

I spend the day, trying to get him back into his coat, and to make him eat properly. Then he spots her. The girl on fire is going to be put out at last.
