《Clato》chapter twenty-three

"Fine then, Lover Boy, go see for yourself." He snapped.

Peeta did.

Cato rolled his eyes.

"Why don't we just kill him now and get it over with?" Clove suggested.

"Let him tag along. What's the harm?" Marvel said, and then recalled watching him while training, "And he's handy with that knife."

"Besides, he's our best chance of finding her." Glimmer put in.

"Why? You really think she bought into that sappy romance stuff?" Cato scoffed.

"She might have. Seemed pretty simple minded to me. Every time I see her spinning around in that dress, I want puke." Marvel replied.

"Wish we knew how she got that eleven." Glimmer put in.

"Bet you Lover Boy knows." Clove said.

Cato smirked and looked in the direction Peeta went.

Peeta came back smiling.

"Was she dead?" Cato asked him.

"No." Peeta answered. "But she is now."

A cannon went off. "Ready to move on?"

Cato frowned and begun walking. "Okay."

Clove and the group kept moving. They found no-one. The grey light of dawn had begun to emerge.

Cato sighed, he was tired.

Clove remembered her promise to Marina. "We have to get back." She said.

"I agree." Glimmer replied. "I'm positively famished!"

Cato looked at Clove, he had dark circles underneath his eyes from fatigue.

Clove's knees were already beginning to buckle from lack of sleep. Marvel nodded his head and Peeta began to retrace his steps in a hurry.

Cato was at the back of the line.

Clove started at the front but couldn't keep up. She soon joined Cato and nearly collapsed onto him as her eyes closed for a few seconds. She wondered if she'd make it back.

Cato held her up gently.

Clove's eyes fluttered open and she stood up.

"Thank you." She mouthed to Cato tiredly.

Cato sighed as they came to camp.

Clove quickly searched the cornucopia for a sleeping bag. Once she found one she asked; "Ok, is anyone here not too tired?"

"Well I got some sleep last night, so I'm fine." Marina said.

"You're on watch. Wake us up in an hour or so and we'll set up a proper camp. But now, I need some rest. Sweet dreams everyone." Clove brought the sleeping bag to the back of the cornucopia and got in. She was asleep before her head hit the ground. Her sleep was filled with Cato and their unborn child dying, but she was trapped in sleep. Her eyes refused to open until she was rested enough. Tears fell from her eyes in her sleep.

Cato had fallen asleep underneath the cornucopia in a sleeping bag, as he had told the whole country of Panem about loving Glimmer he had motioned for her to come over and laid down with her.

Glimmer had gigged, telling him that she was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to come.

Everyone other than Marina fell asleep.

Over an hour passed and Marina started waking people up.

Cato had his arm draped over Glimmer's side, his face pressed into the crook of her neck.

Clove woke to a kick in the leg.
