I can't sleep. After all that has happened. First I volunteer to be in the hunger games. But it wasn't for honour. ( which is the reason most people volunteer.) I did it for clove. We have been best friends for ten years. But I've always had a crush on her. It had started as butterfly's but turned to eagles. I had fell for clover kentwel. She was my everything. Before the games we said we would ether win together or die together. Just two days ago there was a feast.

We needed food desperately. So she demanded to go. I was to go with her, but she said she wanted to kill off Katniss her self. So I guarded camp. I heard clove scream my name. So I raced to the cornucopia. I was to late. I should have gone with her. I could have saved her. Now I'm left with the image of her slowly leaving the world in my arms. I will never forget what she said."win for me." Last night I killed her killer. Thresh. Now I have to kill off twelve. Then I'll be the victor. But I will never move on from clove. I almost don't want to live.

I growl disrupts my thoughts. A mutt jumps out of a near by bush. I doge it and bound away. I find my self getting closer to the cornucopia. Then I get an idea. I climb up the cornucopia, a mutt grabs my foot. I wince in pain, but press on. The mutts go back to the forest once I'm out of reach.

I notice the couple from twelve have the same idea. They get on the cornucopia with me and I attack. I throw Katniss to the floor. I get Peeta in to a head lock. Katniss pulls the draw string of her bow back and aims.

"Go ahead shoot, we both go down and you win." I pause and think of clove."I'm dead any way." She lets go. I feel a sharp pain in my hand, then lose my grip on Peeta. I am shoved to the ground. The mutts began to rip me to shreds. I just want to die. It is now that I realize this is nothing compared to the pain I still suffer from the death of clove. I stop fighting the inevitable, I can just pick out through the mutts, Katniss loading her last arrow. It's aimed at me. I shut my eyes, and accept my unavoidable death. Then the world goes dark.
