Random hunger games fanfic chapter 13

"Mateo, what are you doing here?!?!" I yell.
"Well, today the career tributes were killed in a fight. As you probably know, I had teamed up with them, so now I have no alliance," he replies calmly.
"So, let me guess," Nico says "You want to team up with us,"
"Yes, I do," Mateo answers.
"Give us a second," Nico says. Mateo leaves the cave.
"I think we should let him stay," I say "he got a pretty good score, and he was a good enough fighter to join the careers,"
"I just don't trust him," Nico replies "I don't know why, I just don't."
"I've known him since I was a baby. He's always been a really nice guy."
"Well, okay. But if he does end up attacking us you owe me one days worth of food."
"Fair enough. Mateo, you can stay."
Mateo walk in and set down his sleeping bag.
"Do you have any supplies?" I asked
"Yep. I have lots of food and water, as well as some tools like rope, containers and knives."
"How did you get all that?" Nico said suspiciously as he emptied out his bag.
"Uh, well, when the careers died, I stole most of their supplies. I know it was kind of rude, but the supplies had been shared because we were a team." This seemed weird for Mateo. Back in district 3 he would never do something like that. But I guess in the games people act a bit differently.
"We should probably get some sleep if we want to have energy for tomorrow." Nico says. We all crawl into our sleeping bags and drift off to sleep.
The next few days we didn't see a single other tribute. we pretty much just hunted and gathered food, and just hung out from time to time. although it was a pretty relaxing few days, every now and again a cannon would go off and we would remember where we were again. Also, Nico was really untrusting of Mateo. She really thought he was up to something. I could see why, he was acting differently, but, as I said, people do act differently in the games.
One night before we went into bed, Nico was outside watching which tributes had died. Mateo and I were sorting the food stashes when she ran in saying
"Only 4 tributes other than us are alive."
I was shocked.
"What?! You mean there's only 7 people left?" I asked. She nodded. Suddenly we heard a cannon, a scream, and people running outside. We stayed absolutely still, hoping whoever was outside wouldn't notice us. After a few minutes of silence, Mateo poked his head out of the cave.
"It's clear," he said, "Except for a body."
We walked outside to investigate. There was the body of the district 7 female tribute, and beside her the body of the district 7 male tribute.
"There was only 1 cannon," I said as Mateo bent over them. "One of them is alive." Nico searched for signs of life on the tributes.
"The boy's alive," she said suddenly. We picked him up and dragged him into our cave.
"What are you doing?! We don't need more allies!!" Mateo protested as me and Nico dragged the tribute back. "Just leave him in the snow!!"
"No way am I leaving anyone to die!" Nico said firmly.
"But-"
"Shut up."
Soon we got him inside and wrapped up in a sleeping bag. We washed the blood off his face and tidied him up. Suddenly, he woke up.
"What? Where am I?! Where's Winnie?!"
"She died," Mateo said.
"No! She was my only friend in this arena. We were in an alliance."
"Well, I know it's sudden, but you could be in our alliance?" I asked him. "what's your name?"
"My name's Zach," he answered. "Thank you for saving me. in would love to join your alliance."
"Awesome!" Nico said. "the more the merrier."
"We don't need more people!" Mateo said sounding REALLY annoyed. "He'll probably get us killed like he did with Winnie!"
"SHUT UP ABOUT WINNIE!!" Zach yelled at Mateo.
"What she's just your allie," Mateo said.
"She was more than just an an allie. She was my sister."
"What?!" Nico and I both exclaimed.
"By luck we were both drawn in the raffle. I'm 14 and she was only 13. I can't believe she's dead." the cave was silent for a minute.
"Well, we're going to avenge her," Nico said to Zach. "we're going to find those district 10 tributes and get 'em!"
"Yeah! First thing tomorrow I'm going to go out there and stop them!" Zach said, sounding happy. We all then lay down and fell asleep.
