RECAP
•~•~•~•~• •~•~•~•~•
KATNISS' POV
"So, Girl on Fire," Glimmer smirked, "Maybe, I should use that bow since you can't shoot straight." She suggested, I shook my head.
"I got better, and you already have two weapons why do you need a third if your so talented at those!" I giggled, and she crossed her arms. Marvel was holding his face tightly and I almost felt bad. We reached the forest in about three minutes.
"Cato! Peeta!" I yelled.
"Shush! Are you crazy?" Marvel shouted, but then sweared under his breath due to his face.
"Who cares? We can take who ever comes after us. Anyone who comes is outnumbered remember?" I said.
"Kat" Mumbled a voice, only Peeta called me that.
"Peeta!" I cried, "Where are you?"
"Under here," He told me, everyone looked extremely confused. I quickly dropped onto my stomach and started searching a shrub. After a few tries at uncovering Peeta, I hit his face "Give me your hand" I dully shouted. He did as I told him and grabbed a hold. I, with the help of Glimmer, pulled him fully out of the bushes. His clothes were ripped already, and he was covered in dirt.
"Where's Cato?" I asked, panic surging through my voice. Peeta pointed toward the right.
"By the river, getting us water." He explained.
"Clove, can you go get something to eat, anything." I exclaimed as more of a demand then a question.
"Do it your f$%@ing self," She told me. I took my bow off of my shoulder and grabbed an arrow.
"Ugh, fine Katniss!" She said emphasizing the syllables of my name. She had a habit of doing that when she got irritated.
"Can you bring us to Cato?" I asked Peeta, he nodded and Clove trotted into the woods.
END OF RECAP
THIS STARTS BEFORE KATNISS' FIGHT WITH ROSEMARY!!
•~•~•~•~• •~•~•~•~•
Damn, where is Katniss?
10, 9, 8, 7
She better not go to the cornucopia!
6, 5, 4, 3
God, I wish I knew what her strength was!
2, 1
Before I knew what was happening, a boom sounded and my feet zoomed toward where Katniss had to have been. When I was half way there, A heavy thing pushed at me from my left, knocking me over. It was the girl from district four. I quickly grabbed hold of her head, but she wiggled away from me somehow.
"Look," She purred, still on top of me.
Is she talking to me like this to seduce me?
I laughed a little at the thought.
"I want to be friends with you" The girl giggled.
"Uh huh, annnndddd?" I asked not completely convinced. No one in the games wants to make friends with the other tributes unless you #1 in love with them #2 were already friends with them before the drawing or #3 are using them!!
"First, where is Peeta?" She asked getting closer to my face. I must have shown confusion, because she continued. "I need to get to Katniss, of course, so I need you annnddd Peeta" I shook my head.
No way in hell I'm letting her get to Katniss! Even if it means Peeta will die..
"Ugh, and I so hoped we could be friends!" She said pulling me upward.
Wait, what am I doing? I can totally take this chick!
The second I'm fully off of the ground I dart to my right, and swing my arm at her. Somehow, the catches my clinched fist and smirks. She suddenly let's go and I try again this time aiming for her stomach. We collide and she crouches over. Foot over foot, I sprint toward the opening of the forest.
If I could just get inside I can lose her!
Suddenly, a sharp pinch hits my leg making me fall.
Damn she has a knife! I knew I should have gotten a weapon before looking for Katniss!
Something, about as hard as a rock, hits my head and everything goes dark.

"Cato!" I hear a familiar voice say. My eyes slowly drift open, to reveal Glimmer, Marvel, Peeta, and someone else but they're lagging too far behind the group so I can't see who it is.
"Cato! Oh my god Cato!!!" I could now tell that the voice was Glimmers. I felt a hand touch my cheek and then other voices whispering around me.
"I'm gonna kill that--" I mumbled pulling my hands. However, they didn't budge. Rosemary had tied them to the tree behind me.. Of course. Peeta walked behind me and cut the ropes. My head moved downward, and I noticed there were red rings around where the rope was. I slowly rubbed my wrists where the marks were.
HOW DID SHE EVEN GET ROPE!
"Guys why'd you stop?" called the fourth person. My vision got clearer as the person walked closer.
Katniss!
I quickly stood up only to fall again.
"I'm alright!" I yelled.
"Cato! Oh my god! I've been so worried about you! I thought you were--" she started, but before she could finish her sentence, I had already stood up and pressed my lips against hers. I could feel her tense at the touch of each others mouths, before loosening up and pressing hers into mine. Our kiss lasted a long time but it felt like only seconds, before Marvel fake coughed to signal for us to get a room. When I pulled away, I noticed Katniss bite her lip a little bit. That made me smile as I turned around toward Marvel.
"Sorry man, but some of us aren't forever alone!" I told him, shrugging. We all sat down and he glared at me. After that everyone trailed off into pointless conversation.
Shortly afterward Clove appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey Clove" Katniss said.
"Hey, I got the food " She replied quickly, sitting down next to Katniss and swinging a dead deer over to the middle of our circle.
"When did you two get so cozy?" I teased.
"Shut up Cato, it turns out that Katniss is actually kind of cool." She yelled. I made a face at her and she made one back. The sky slowly went black and the Panem anthem played over the arena. In sync we all looked upward. The female tribute from three had died the boy from four was gone along with Rosemary, both tributes from five and six were gone the girl from seven the boy from eight and no one from nine or ten remained and that was it. Which left us eleven to kill. When the Panem seal exited the sky everything went black, and I felt something on my shoulder that made me flinch.
"Sorry," whispered Katniss. I laughed a little bit and wrapped my arm around her.
We fell asleep like that, and I never wanted the feeling of her being right there, to leave.
