"Cato, wait! Whats wrong now!?" Glimmer screeched in her high pitched voice as she ran after Cato into the woods. "Whats her problem" Marvel asked annoyed.

No way! how did I not realize this before? Marvel likes Glimmer!

It was just Marvel, Peeta, and I at the camp now. "Whenever those two get back, we can go hunting," Marvel sneered. "Hunting?" Peeta asked confused. Amatures. "For food. right?" He asks again. "We dont need any food! look at all that we have! we are going hunting for other tributes. How do we expect to win these games if we dont kill!?" Marvel asked kind of shocked.

Peeta's face started to get pale and then I saw him grab his stomach. He definately felt sick just thinking about killing someone. He looked at his cut up arms that I was cleaning, and his face got even more pale. I gave him a sympathetic look as he got up and walked away. He stopped at the end of the cornocopia and leaned his back on it with his arms crossed over his stomach.

I gave Marvel my can I please go, will you be okay alone look. "Fine, go. Ill be good alone." He said with a smile. "Thanks" is all I could choke out before I started walking to Peeta.

"Im sorry about Marvel. Hes thinks everyone wants to kill so they can win," I said as I got closer to him. He smirked a little but then grabbed his stomach again. "Well if you want to be alone for a little, just stay where we can see you okay? I wont let anything bad happen to you in these games. Im just gonna go back to Marvel, so he doesnt get hurt." I spoke up once again. "okay, thank you Clove. I think your the nicest career there is.

I smiled and started to walk back to Marvel. The nicest career there is. He said I wad nice! So was he. By the time I was done talking to myself I was back at camp. " So whats happening then?" Asked Marvel. "We are going hunting." "No! not about hunting! I mean about Lover Boy over there!" Marvel said laughing. "oh. Nothing hes just not use to hunting yet. Im gonna go lie down, I have a pounding headach." " ok" Marvel said.

As I was entering the tent I heard a beeping noise. A sponser sent someone something! I looked over at Peeta and it looked like he was taking some kind of pill. He was holding a parachute. A sponser sent him something for his stomach. I was now happy... So I went to lie down.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Hey! Wake up! They are back and its time to hunt!" Marvel yelled at me. I got up groggily and looked past Marvel to the people at the fire. Glimmer and Cato were sitting on one side talking and Peeta was sitting on the other. He was using his knife to do something, I think he was carving something. "Oh ok. Did you guys eat without me?" I asked and Marvel shook his head yes. I grabbed something to eat out of a pack, and walked over to Peeta.

"Whatcha doin?" I said after I took a bite of the granola bar. "Its a carving, im not really sure what it is, I just started and let my mind take over," He said back in a soft tone still looking down at the cabobled carving. "Its really cool ya..." I was cut off by Cato saying "Well since everyone is up now, we should get hunting. We dont want to lose valuable time."

Marvel came out of the tent with five backpacks. "Take your pick guys" he said. We all, except Peeta, grabbed one, so the last one Marvel tossed to him. It landed at his feet and thats when he came out of his trance of looking at the carving. "Lets Move!" Cato yelled at all of us.

In seconds we all had our bags on our backs, and were running through the woods. Peeta was slow, so I slowed dont to not lose him. When ai did so did everyone else, but Cato. It seemed like I was the leader, NOT Cato! Hmmm... so I began thinking...

Lately Marvel and Glimmer have been doing whatever I ask them to, but dont do what Cato asks them to do. Well Glimmer listens to him but its just because she likes him. Everyone except Cato has been nice to me, so in the long run I guess I am the leader.

"Come on Clove! We see smoke!" Marvel said pulling me along. I must have started walking because everyone else was ahead of me waiting. "Oh, sorry. I was just thinking. Lets get going then!" With that everyone started to jog toward the smoke.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Once we go about ten feet away we all slowed to a walk, except Peeta who wasnt paying attention and ran into me. We both fell down in a heap. "Shhh... be quiet or the girl may hear you!" Cato whisper yelled at us. Girl? When Cato said girl Peeta's face looked scared.

His eyebrows raised up, his head snapped up looking in the direction of smoke, and his Bright Blue eyes sparkled. In a way it looked like he was going to cry. It was only for a few seconds, and then he got serious.

He looked back down at me under him and started to get up. Once he was on his feet I saw a hand appear in front of me so I grabbed it. I got helped up and we all started walking. As we got a few feet away I saw Cato getting out his knife.

"Let me do it! Please!" Glimmer squealed too loudly. We were right behind her, when she spun around. "No please! Dont kill me! Please..." Was all the girl could say before Glimmer stabbed her. There was blood pouring out of her. "Shes dead now, better move so they can get her body outta here. Dont wanna attract any animals." Cato said without any emotion.

We all stepped over her as we continued on. When peeta did I swear he made eye contact with her. Once we got to a clearing I stopped to listen. "Its been a wile since we killed her, do you think shes dead?" I asked. That started a whole argument between eveyone. I kept an eye on Peeta who was just standing back from us.

He looked up a tree and stopped for a few seconds looking at a branch. He snapped out of it when Cato pushed Marvel down. "Guys! Ill go back and make sure she is. We have to stop fighting if we want to hunt more!" Peeta almost yelled st us. He stomped off in the direction that we came from. After he walked away everyone sat and started to talk. I looked up the same tree Peeta did, but I couldnt see anything. He probably has way better eyes than I do.

A few moments later we heard footsteps coming, so we all readied our weapons. "Well jobs done..." Peeta said as he came out of the bushes. He stopped and when we all realized it was him we put down pur weapons. The cannon went off and we all started walking again. As we passed the tree Peeta looked up at the same branch again.

I wonder what is up there that he can see but I couldnt. I heard some rustling, but I figured it was sqirrels or something. Maybe he saw a camera or something! It couldnt be too big or I would have saw it!
