Promises (A Clato Fanfic)

Chapter 24: Snow

Cato POV:

It has been 3 weeks since we won the Hunger Games. We have our Victory Tour in 2 weeks. Things have been good in District 2. Me and Clove moved into her house yesterday. We decided we're ready to start our future together.

I go into the kitchen and find Clove cooking breakfast. I sneak behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. "Good morning beautiful." I whisper in her ear.

"Good morning handsome." she replies and turns around and kisses me. I love her so damn much.

"What're making?" I ask her.

"Pancakes and bacon." she tells me.

"My favorite."

"I know. What do you want to do today?"

"I don't know. Maybe just hang out here."

"That sounds perfect." she kisses me again and makes me a plate of pancakes and bacon. We sit down at the table and eat our delicious breakfast.

When we're done, I go watch some tv and Clove goes to clean the house.

About 5 minutes later, I hear Clove call my name. "Cato, come here. Now." she says. I get up and try to find her.

"Clove, where are you?" I call.

"In the library." she says. I make my way to the library.

When I get in there I see a pale Clove holding a letter and a white rose. Snow.

I go up to hug her and she hands me the letter. I read it my head.

Dear Clove,

I've been watching everyday since you and Cato got home. I'm not happy with you and you will be punished for your little stunt. Watch your back.

From,

President Snow

I can't believe this. Snow wants to kill Clove. He can't hurt her, I won't let him. I go up to hug her and she hugs me back. She starts crying into my shirt. "Shhh, it's okay. I won't let him hurt you." I tell her. She just cries some more. I just sit there and hug her for what feels like forever. We're victors now. This is what the rest of our lives are gonna be like.
