If Glimmer won the Hunger Games

Chapter 12

(This is the chapter where the story begins to drastically change)
    

     GLIMMER

    
     "RUN!"
     We begin sprinting back to the cornucopia. The only part of the fire that reaches us is the smoke. After about 10 minutes, we reach the clearing to the cornucopia. I spot my bow hidden behind a bunch of empty crates, so I run up and grab it.
     Everyone is coughing, so we begin walking over to the stream to get some water. And that's when it happens.
     "GUYS LOOK! THERE SHE IS!" Marvel shouts while pointing to a brown haired girl sitting in the stream. The girl was the one from district 12. Her name is Katnip or Katlick or something like that.
     Her eyes go wide, and she immediately sprints into the forest. We cheer as we begin chasing her.
     "Running isn't gonna help you Katniss! Just come over to us and we'll make it fast!" Cato yells. So her name is Katniss! God that's so stupid.
     She makes a sharp left turn, and begins climbing a tree. Once we reach her, she is half way up.
     "It's not gonna help you up there Katniss!" I yell.
     "She's mine." Cato says. He grabs the first branch and begins climbing.
       "You got this Cato!" Clove cheers.
     "Kill her Cato!" Marvel yells.
     After he is about 20 feet up, the branch Cato was grasping snaps, and he plummets to the ground.
     "Cato!" Clove cries. She runs over to him, to find out he's okay. She then helps him up. Cato looks back up at the tree.
     "You mother fucking piece of shit!" Cato yells up at Katniss. She smirks back down at us. "We're gonna kill you!" This was my turn to shine.
     "I'll just kill her myself." I say. I drop my bow, and pull out my knife. I begin to climb. Once I get about 30 feet high, the branch I am holding onto begins to snap. I decide to climb down to avoid injury.
     "Way to kill her." Marvel says sarcastically.
     "Shut up or you're next." I hiss. Marvel rolls his ugly poop-colored eyes.
     I pick up my bow and shoot at her, but the arrow just gets stuck in the branches. Katniss grabs the arrow and waves it teasingly over us. "Thanks for the arrow! Maybe you should throw up the sword!" She yells down.
     "That's it." Cato mumbles. He snatches my bow, and takes an arrow from my quiver. He shoots the arrow, only to get it stuck in the branches as well.
     "There's nothing we can do!" Marina whispers.
     "Let's just wait her out. She has to come down eventually. Either that or starve." Peeta says.
     "That's dumb. We would be here forever. Let's just burn the tree down." Clove replies.
     "It would create a forest fire." Marvel states.
     "So? we can run back to the cornucopia, it'll kill tributes, and they'll have less room to hide." Clove replies.
     "That's actually genius. Everyone grab as much dead plants as possible." Says Cato.
     After a half hour, we have the tree surrounded in dead plants. Katniss looks confused, until Cato pulls out the lighters. Her expression changes from chill, to petrified.
     "No! I'll come down!" She pleads. Cato turns on his lighter, and nods at all of us.
     "Whoops!" He says, and tosses the lighter into the plants. The rest of us do the same, and the plants become ablaze, and the fire begins to spread up the tree. We begin sprinting to the cornucopia. We eventually make it back to the cornucopia. A few minutes later we hear screaming, then a cannon fire. Katniss.
     We all watch as the fire spreads, until a new problem occurred. A loud roar filled the arena.
     "Look!" Marina shouts while pointing in the distance. There was a tsunami crashing through the forest.
     "Everyone up the cornucopia!" Cato yells. We begin climbing as the waves crash through the forest fire, putting it out. The waves begin making their way over to us. Everyone is up but Marina Who is pulling herself up. She panics and tries to climb faster.
     "Marina!" Marvel yells. He runs over to her to pull her up, when the waves crash by, pulling away. She begins screaming as the waves carry her over to a void across the arena. The void is just a cliff that drops off into razor sharp rocks.
     Marina's screams fade as she is pulled into the void. A few seconds later a cannon fires.
     "Marina!" Peeta cries.
     "No!" Marvel shouts.
     "Wait now that Katniss is dead, I thought we were supposed to let him go?" I state.
     "Oh yeah!" Cato replies. Then he grabs Peeta  and throws him off the cornucopia, and into the water.  "Bye!"
       "Cato!? Noooo!" Peeta yells. The waves carry him along, and he screams. Then he is carried over into the void. A few seconds later his cannon fires.
     "9 of us left." Clove says.
     Then the water magically drains. I wonder where it all went.
     There were no more deaths today. Marina, Katniss, and Peeta's faces were projected in the sky.
     "Who's left?" I ask.
     "You, Marvel, me, Cato, the boy from 3, the girl from 5, the boy from 10, and both from 11." Clove answers.
    Then I remembered the thing about both Marvel and I making it to the final 10, and what Cashmere was gonna do. Then a silver parachute begins floating down on top of me.
