Chapter 5

It was the day of the feast. Cato and I made our way down to the cornucopia. "There's Katniss," I said. I made a mad dash for the middle. When Katniss made it around the corner I threw one of my knives at her, slicing her forehead. I ran and started tackling her attempting to pin her down she spit blood up in my face. I finally got her down. This is the end of her. "I told Cato if he let me have you I'd give the audience a good show," I said to her. She was squirming trying to escape, but that wasn't going to happen.

"Where's lover boy? Oh I see, you were gonna help him right? That's sweet. You know it's too bad you couldn't have helped your little friend. That little girl what was her name again? Rue." I chuckled "Well, we killed her and now," pulling out a small knife, "we're gonna kill you. Where shall we start? Let's do your lips first so you can give lover boy one last kiss goodbye." I start to outline her lips with my knife. When I'm lifted off of her and slammed to the cornucopia.

"Did you kill her? I heard you." Said Thresh. Thresh, where was he at! "I didn't kill her I swear"! "I heard you." Things just got bad. "Cato! Cato"! I yell, where is he at? I look down Thresh has a medium sized rock in his hand. I keep screaming for Cato but he isn't coming. I look up and Thresh takes the rock and slams it into the temple of my head. Everything goes black I can't see anything. I hear Cato though. "Clove"? "Stay with me, stay with me." I can't say anything. I just start to think. I could have won, but I won't. I think back to the very beginning. Training my whole life, the reaping, the bloodbath all of it for nothing. I know now that this right here and right now that this is the end of me. Then all of me goes numb and everything just all at once stops.
