"Why don't we stop and rest here for a bit" Clove said putting her bag down and sitting on it. "I agree we have been walking for almost three hours we don't want to work our self to death on the first day" as I say this I hear the bushes start to shake and I'm sure, I'm not the only one that heard it because everyone else had their weapons out and ready to fight. We finally see who it is "I'm taking Lover Boy out" shouted Clove as she ready's herself to throw a knife. You must stop this my mind kept telling me but how and what could I do to convince them not to kill Peeta, I got it "wait" I scream "wait for what him to kill us" Marvel said shooting me a death glare. "No idiot, Clove give me a knife" I roar at Marvel and Clove, she gives me a knife straight away "if you wanted to kill him you should have just said so" scoffs Cato. "But that's not what I'm going to do, not yet anyways" I look back at them than fix my eyes on Peeta who during our talk has not move one bit. Once I'm at him I put the knife to his neck "see this knife I will use it to kill you if you don't listen and do what I say do you get it."
"Yes" he quickly side while shaking. "Good you are going to help us find your girlfriend and you are going to tell us everything you know about her or you get a knife to you neck. Oh, and with this we well protect you if you protect us, so is it a deal" he shakes his head in agreement. "Great let's go back to the Cornucopia and get him so supply's and weapons" I look back at the group, they all look at me in shock then I guess they realised that I just got Lover Boy on our side and a way to get to Katniss.
Once we were back to the Cornucopia there was no body's left "What's your weapon Lover Boy" asked Marvel I'm surprised he figured out what I have done because normally he isn't that bright. "Umm I'm not sure knives or spears I guess. I've never really used a weapon" explains Peeta. Well that makes sense he is only from district 12. "Well are you strong, fast or what" Cato said with an unimpressed voice "strong" Peeta said almost instantly. "I've found more knives" I yell breaking the tension. I handsome knives to Peeta and more to Clove. Without realising it was already night fall and the anthem had started with the faces of the fallen tributes two of which I killed. I'm so happy Peeta accepted my offer otherwise I would have had to kill him and by killing him I would be killing myself. Eleven died that means only 13 left that's good only a little over half to go. "Hey guys look" Cato said pointing his sword to the smoke in the forest. "that person has a death wish and I'm going to be the one to fulfil it" Cato smirked then throws his bag over his back and started to run, the rest of us just shrugged and did the same. Once we go to an area close to where the fire was we put our bags down. "Why don't we wait here till morning to rest then get her in the morning when she thinks she is in the clear" I say then everyone sits down even Cato who I thought would hate the idea. I sit and we talk about random things before we fall asleep. I'm kind of hoping she leaves before we get up tomorrow. I lie wide awake looking up at the sky for an hour before I hear something it was Cato "can't sleep" I ask him "yeah, you" he said back "yeah I can't sleep plus I'm cold and the ground isn't very nice to sleep on." I said looking to the sky then back at him. "Sorry I forgot to put a sleeping bag in your bag, we can share mine" after he said that he laid down next to me and put the sleeping bag over us. That night I used his arm as a pillow, it's the closed I've ever felt to him and the first night I had slept next to a guy.
