Just Tell Me You Love Me Already

Chapter 12: Trees and Wasps

Clove's POV

It's Marvel, Glimmer, Sierra and Peeta. They all look beaten up and singed.

"There you two are!" Sierra exclaims, out of breath. Her voice is raspy from the smoke; Cato and I have had time to clear out our lungs, apparently they haven't.

"We've been running from the fire for the last half an hour and we find you two relaxing in a forest glade?!" Marvel exclaims.

"No," I say calmly. "We just got here about ten minutes ago."

"Wait a minute," Glimmer narrows her eyes, "What were you two doing?"

"We were treating out wounds from the fire," Cato says pulling his jacket back on. It's the truth, though we were also as Chelsey would say 'flirting'.

Glimmer is glaring at me, "Cato, no need to lie to our friends here. Since we were clearly having a make out session." I say sarcastically.

She turns her head away, I'm guessing because her stupid brain can't come up with a good retort.

"Anyway, back on subject," I say cheerfully. "The Game Makers chased us here for a reason, don't you think? The only reason there could be is because not enough people have been killed in the last twenty four hours, which also means that they chased at least one tribute over here too. We should go look around."

"Alright, that sounds reasonable," Sierra says.

Everyone else save Glimmer agrees.

Cato holds out his hand for me to take, I take it without a second's hesitation. He then hoists me up, on my feet.

"I hear the sound of water." Cato says. "Let's go check that out, that would be one of my first places to go to escape a fire."

We all agree and follow Cato to a spring-fed pool where- I almost don't see her, but she's there. Katniss is resting in the pool. I give Peeta a look, he sees her too. Peeta then steps on a large branch 'accidently' making a loud cracking noise.

Katniss jerks awake. She sees us and splashes out of the pool, flying into the underbrush by the pond.

"There!" Glimmer exclaims in her raspy smoke-inhaled voice, well duh. "There she is! There she is!" Oh my gods of whatever, you are an idiot Glimmer, we all see her!

We all chase after her. I see she's slowed down, but then again so are we.

"She's mine!" Glimmer exclaims.

"Not if I get her first!" Cato replies. "Where you gonna go?" he calls to her, Cato has a special dislike for Katniss since she has showed him up more than once.

"Mine!" Glimmer exclaims, she sounds like a freaking ass idiot.

"Someone found a pond!" Sierra calls gleefully, I guess most of them don't like Katniss, since she showed them up; I don't have any different dislike for her I want Glimmer gone more than Katniss. "Someone found a pond!" Do they realize how idiotic they sound right now? They're acting like children.

We chase her across the small little pond and into the woods on the other side. "There she is!" Glimmer exclaims again. We know Glimmer you i-d-i-o-t. I bed she doesn't even know how that's spelled.

"Yeah!" Marvel replies enthusiastically.

"Here we go!" Cato says, what the hell does that even mean? "Where you going, huh?"

Katniss has stopped and is frantically looking around.

"Get her, Cato!" Glimmer exclaims, oh just shut up already!
