The Hunger Games: Burned

Chapter 5

"Ladies and Gentlemen! The winner of the 74th Annual Hunger Games and the winner of the Third Quarter Quell... Katniss Everdeen!" I walked onto the stage with a false smile. The crowd cheered, I saw Prim and Gale standing next to each other, Gale lifting her into the air. I waved to them and sat down next to Caeser.

"Hello Caeser, Capitol," I responded. My gold dress swaying at my feet, it was built up like golden flames to make yet another, girl on fire. 

"Hello Katniss, so... How does it feel to be the winner of two Hunger Games?" He asked.

"Great... except, I wish Peeta could be here with me," I said with a sigh. Caeser showed genuine sadness in his eyes, a tear threatened him, I could tell.

"That's just too bad, poor Peeta can't see his baby grow up!" 

"Actually, the baby is gone." I said bluntly.

"Really?"

"Yes, the baby died when I hit the force field, I wont go into detail but... yeah." Caeser had a tear falling down his face.

"Well, that's too bad! Lets have a look at your best Hunger Games moments!" He cried. The T.V flickers on to reveal me running to the cornucopia in the first Games, Clove threw the knife at me, I dodged, me dropping the Tracker Jackers, Rue getting impaled, me killing Marvel, finding Peeta, all those kisses, Clove almost killing me but Thresh crushing her skull, the Mutts, Cato's death, Nightlock, my reaction to being picked for the Quarter Quell, Killing at the cornucopia, Wiress' 'tick tock', Finnick's death, and Peeta's death. "That's Katniss Everdeen's epic games!" He cried. Suddenly a knife was thrown from the curtains and Caeser fell to the ground, a knife sticking out of his back. Out walked Clove. 

"C-clove?" I asked in fear. Clove grinned her evil grin and curtseyed.

"Hello lover girl." She had another glinting knife in her hand.

"B-but, you're dead!" 

"That's what you think," She takes a step closer to me. "Thresh was my best friend, he didn't kill me, we faked it! When you left, I escaped and boom here I am," I gasped.

"B-but!"

"You killed Cato, my boyfriend." The crowd gasped, not just me. "We were the true star-crossed lovers of the 74th Annual Hunger Games, but you killed Cato, you ruined everything!" She spat. 

"Clove, I'm sorry!"

"That's what they all say! I went up to some surprised President and put in a request. We will battle it out, in another Hunger Games, just us, in two weeks! Prepare to die!" The crowd were screaming, Caeser was being taken away by two Peacekeepers. "Do you accept?"

"No,"

"If you don't, a little flower will  be killed,"  A little flower, Prim.

"I accept!"
