Beauty and the Brute||Catoniss Fanfic

Chapter 3

I run and run down the halls of the hospital until I find an empty supply closet. I go inside of it and sit down.

How am I suppose to work with Cato? How am I suppose to pretend to fall in love with Cato, How am I suppose to be near Cato?

All of these questions have been floating around in my head for who knows how long until I hear a pounding on the door.

I freeze, that could be anyone.

"Katniss, open the door!" Haymitch? Could that be who it is?

I hear mumbling then I hear, "Katniss stop being a child and open up the door!" Cato, that was definitely Cato.

"If I'm not going to open the door for Haymitch, why would you think I'm going to open the door for you?" That shut him up.

There's more mumbling now we're back to Haymitch.

"Katniss we're going home now so you better come out or we're just going to leave you here," He says.

That makes come out.

"Really, we're leaving?" I ask hopefully. I'll get to see Gale, my mom, Prim. Oh Prim, my little duck. They thought makes me smile.

"More or less," Haymitch replies.

This confuses me. What does he mean by more or less? Maybe he's drunk.

"What do you mean 'more or less'? We're going home or we're not," I ask Haymitch.

"Well we're going to a home just not our home. You see, you to have like two more interviews to go to, maybe even more considering the circumstances. But you to will be staying on a tribute floor for a week or two."

My eyes go wide and fill with anger, "NO IM AM NOT GOING BACK TO ONE OF THOSE HELL HOLES!"

"Come one sweet heart just two more weeks, maybe even less then you'll get to see your family," Haymitch persuades.

"Fine," I grumble.

"Good," Haymitch says.

"Great," Cato chimes in with sarcasm dripping from his voice.

I shoot him a death glare.

"Ok let's go," says Haymitch taking us to the elevator since the hospital is a floor under the tribute floors.

We get in and Haymitch hits '2'. "Great," I mumble sarcastically. Cato just huffs.

Once we get to his floor I look around. It looks almost like the one I stayed in. I see Effie and next to her I see some goth Capitol citizen. 'Probably the district to escort,' I think.

I also notice the district two mentors Brutus and Enobaria.

'Two more weeks,' I think with a sigh.
