Chapter 2: Cato

I am not a bad person. I don't think I'm evil. Sure in District 2, I enjoyed to kick around old people. But that does not make me a bad person. That's why I'm good at The Hunger Games. I do what it takes to win.

Thresh is the only tribute I'm worried about. He's strong. But he's not vicious like me. He did kill Clove though by bashing her in the head with that rock. That was a vicious action. Foxface. I can kill here easily. Snap her neck. Choke and not let go. A sword through her heart. Destruction of her head. There are a number of ways.

The two lovebirds. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Peeta is nothing. He had been a Career for a couple of days. He hadn't been bad either. When I missed that one girl, he went back to finish her off. He betrayed us though. That's why I stabbed him. He'll die soon. But he cared about her. Her. Katniss Everdeen. She's strange. She volunteered for her sister. Not like me. She's deadly with a bow too. It's almost comical how I wanted her to join me, and now she's my biggest rival.

My dad always told me, "If you don't win, you're a loser. When your eighteen, you're going to volunteer for The Hunger Games." That's why I became friends with Clove. She would trust me then I would kill her. My thoughts are interrupted by a sound. It's Thresh. I fix my armor and start to make sounds. He comes, spins me around, and knocks away my sword. I find myself on the ground, and he stabs me with his sickle. He is surprised as I stand up. I punch him in the face then kick him in the stomach. He falls, and I know I have him.

I continue to kick him. Just then, I hear a loud noise. We both look in the direction of baying dogs. They're not loose yet but will be soon. I find my sword and look at Thresh. He stares at me, scared. I stab him in the stomach so it's not an instant kill. I look behind me and start to run.
