Cloves Sister

Day 4

It's my turn to stand watch tonight and as everyone falls asleep, not wanting to waste the little sleep time they get. It starts to get really cold as I think of Cumin without anything to keep warm in, two hours pass and I can nearly stay awake, but the occasional sound of bushes keeps me awake, getting killed in your sleep makes you look stupid and I want to be anything but stupid. This makes me think of killing the others in their sleep, it's an easy way to kill them I think to myself, but I still need them at the moment. This is something I will do later if I get the chance because I know that soon no one will sleep because the fewer the tributes the more likely we will turn on each other. The cold is getting to me, so I slip on author jacket, I hear a bush ruffle again and decide to check it out because of plain boredom. Carrying a spear I walk towards the bush to find Cumin. She does not seem to be afraid , she just keeps staring at me, until she says "why did you save me?" I find myself struggling to find an answer so I reply with " what are you doing here?" Cumin simply replays with " I was hungry and cold so I followed you back". "I will help you on one condition" I say " you never come back here again, I can't keep helping you because if the others find you there will be nothing I can do" without waiting for a reply I head back to camp and pack a back pack full of food, water a sleeping bag and two jackets. I hand her the bag and she leaves not making a noise.

Morning comes faster than I should, probably due to the game makers. We decide to stay at camp today and rest for the days ahead. We sharpen our weapons and eat the food that seems to be coming down from sponsors in endless amounts. But all I can think about is that the whole of Panem probably thinks I am weak because of what I did.
