"You did it darling." Effie gushed, pulling me into a hug. "That was incredible." Cinna said and I smiled at him. "Thank you." I said and Haymitch clapped. "Nice job sweetheart." Haymitch said and I nodded. Cato was standing awkwardly with his mentors, Brutus and Enobaria.

"We can sell the starcrossed lovers!" Brutus said to Haymitch who nodded. "But... our love isn't for this damn tv show!" Cato hissed and Brutus glared at him. "But they don't know that! This could be a way to save your lives! Both of them." Enobaria said and Haymitch nodded. "She's right you two. The more you play this starcrossed lovers the more we can do to get you sponsors which will save your life."

"We need to discuss this upstairs." Haymitch said and Cato placed his hand on the small of my back and led me into the elevator. A Capitol attendant stopped the lift and jumped in with us. "Seneca wants you two to have your own room." The Capitol attendant said and pressed the roof top, leading us into a secret room just off.

Brutus, Enobaria and Haymitch sat around the table, Cato brought me beside him and placed a hand on my leg, rubbing soothing circles on my thigh. "Azalea," Enobaria said and I looked up at her. "You need to join the careers." Enobaria said and I bit my lip. "I mean, I trust Cato but whose to say the others won't kill me when my back is turned?" I asked and Brutus sighed. "I can speak to Cashmere and Gloss and Clove." Brutus said and Haymitch nodded.

"It's the only way I'll be able to keep you safe." Cato whispered and I sighed. "But what about Henry? The people back home won't like it." I said and Haymitch shrugged. "They'll only not like it if you kill him, so just make sure you don't." Haymitch said and I nodded. "Fine, I'll join the careers." I said and Brutus nodded, along with Enobaria. "Right, we will go and speak to Clove, Cashmere and Gloss."

The mentors got up and left Cato and I alone. He kneeled before me, pressing his soft lips to my own. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss, our lips moved in sync as my fingers tangled in his hair. Cato picked me up with ease and opened the door to the bedroom, throwing me onto the bed. He unzipped my dress with ease, taking it off my shoulders. I kissed him hungrily then removed his shirt, he placed kisses all along my neck.

I moaned and brought his head up to my lips, his hands roamed all around my waist and then unclipped my bra. He flung it off the bed and moved his hands down to my panties, I pulled apart, breathing heavily. "Are you sure?" Cato asked and I nodded, his hands brought my panties down and he flung them across the room too. His head went between my legs and started planting kisses on my inner thighs, I moaned in pleasure, arching my back.

His tongue entered me and I gasped, my hands immediately finding his hair as I moaned. His hands roamed my thighs and my bum, squeezing in various places as his tongue went to work, I bit my lip to stop myself from moaning but it felt so good. Cato looked up to see me squirming and smirked, I took this as my chance to sit up and push Cato down onto the bed, I pulled down his boxers and began to work.

Cato grunted as my lips met his member, I bobbed my head up and down causing Cato to groan, I looked up at him and he was panting, I chuckled and climbed on top of him, lining myself up as he inserted himself inside me. I gasped and he smirked, bringing my body down onto his I began to move backwards and forwards. Cato brought my lips to his hungrily into a passionate kiss. "I love you, Azalea." Cato whispered and I pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "I love you too, Cato."

Once we finished we cleaned ourselves up and I climbed into bed with Cato, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and I snuggled into his chest. "Now I'm definitely not letting you go." Cato whispered and I looked up at him. "Please, don't talk like that." I whispered and he pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. "I swear on my life we will both make it out alive."

Luckily I'd put pyjamas back on as I woke up to Cinna in our room, he smirked at us knowingly. I pressed a soft kiss to Cato's lips and giving him a long hug goodbye before leaving with Cinna to get ready for the arena. "Fun night?" Cinna asked and I couldn't help but smile. "Shut up." I said and Cinna laughed, leading me into our changing area. We had dark brown cargo pants, a red top and some kind of waterproof jacket.

"They put all kind of stuff right in front. Right in the mouth of the Cornucopia. There'll even be a bow there. Don't go for it, unless you know Cato will be there." Haymitch said and I raised my eyebrows. "Why not?" I asked and Haymitch sighed. "It's a bloodbath, they're trying to pull you in. That's not your game. You turn, run, find a high ground. Only if Cato isn't there to protect you. Look for water. Water's your new best friend. Don't step off that pedestal earlier or they'll blow you sky high." Haymitch said and I nodded. "I won't." I said and he patted my shoulder. "Azalea. You can do this."

Cinna had my mockingjay pin that Gale had given me, placing it under my jacket, I looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you." I whispered and he nodded. We headed to the aircraft where I was given a injection for my tracker, Cato was 3 seats to my right and Henry was 2 seats to my left, I smiled at the both of them. Once we were in the launch room, Cinna made me eat and drink, I felt sick to my stomach.
