Promises (A Clato Fanfic)

Chapter 11: Last night

Clove POV:

I'm so tired of fucking District 12 stealing mine and Cato's spotlight. We are being outshone by an outline district. That's pretty pathetic if you ask me. They'll get all the sponsors.

As we're getting ready for bed, Cato comes up behind and whispers in my ear. "You still want to know what that surprise is?"

"Well of course, what is it?" I ask him.

"Get dressed and follow me." I obey and follow him. We get to the elevator and he presses the button. "What are you doing? We're not allowed out of the apartment." I tell him.

"Well, what are they gonna do? Kill us? Let them. Either way I'll be dead in the next two weeks. And you will be at home."

"I'm not leaving without you."

"And I'm not leaving without you. I guess we both die. We'll be together." Cato says. He does make sense. What's the point if we get caught? We'll both be dead in two weeks. I agree and we get in the elevator.

When we're in the elevator, Cato presses the button marked R. I wonder what it stands for.

It's about a 3O second ride up. When we get up, I realize we're on the roof. That's what R stands for. "Surprise!" Cato tells me. I'm not so sure what the surprise is.

"Uh Cato, what's the surprise?" I ask him kindly.

"This isn't it. Follow me." I agree and we walk straight ahead. I notice there's a railing overlooking the Capitol. It's gorgeous. Cato must see I like it. "Well told you there was more." He said.

"It's beautiful." I reply awestruck.

"Just like you." He kisses me on the lips and we start making out. It last a good 5 minutes until we hear someone else walking. We think its a peacekeeper so we hide behind a bush. We peek around the bush and notice not one but two people. We make them out to be Katniss and Peeta. Fire girl and Lover boy. "How will they change you?" I recognize Katniss' voice.

"I don't know. Turn me into something I'm not. I wish i could think of a way to show them that thy don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me. Show them I'm not just another piece in their game." Peeta says.

"I just can't afford to think like that. I have my sister." Katniss says. Then they both leave. Finally. Me and Cato come out from hiding and start talking. "That was an interesting conversation." Cato says.

"Yea. It was. To bad they won't be coming out. I'm killing Katniss if its the last thing I ever do. Its my death wish." Cato laughs at this. "What's so funny?" I ask him.

"You're cute when you're mad. I promise you can have Katniss, if I can have Peeta. Also promise me you'll give them a good show."

"Oh I will. Katniss Everdeen will die in the worst way possible." I grin sadistically.

"Well we better get back, big day tomorrow." I sigh at this. Tomorrow we'll go into the arena to fight to death. I just really hope Cato doesn't die.
