Against All Odds

Cato's Revenge (Part 1)

A/N Oh my god I'm updating :D sorry, school started and stuff so I've been busy :( Without further ado, Cato's Revenge!

Cato POV 

I wash my hair multiple times, frantically trying to get the red colour out. It's no use, it fades a little bit, into a pink colour. Which looks even worse. Oh Everdeen, you are going to get it... 

I walk down to breakfast, feeling rather miserable. The second I show up, everyone (Brutus, Enobaria, Clove, Glimmer, and Marvel) stares. And then..... Besides for Glimmer, they all crack up. Marvel nearly falls out of his chair with laughter, and Clove repeatedly stabs the table with her knife as she chortles. 

Meanwhile, Glimmer, on the other hand, jumps up and runs over, screaming, "Oh my gosh oh my gosh Cato! Your hair!" 

"Thanks for reminding me. Glad to know you have eyes," I snarl, feeling my temper rising. Turning to Brutus, I demand, "What are they doing here? They're district 1."

"I know. They're just here for breakfast so we can disucss strategies once inside the arena. And, we need to talk later in private about tonight's event."

Oh god, tonight's event. It better not be anything like last night's, or President Snow just might find a blonde- I mean red- haired kid storming into his personal office and slicing his head off. I sigh, and gesture for the avox to pull out my chair.

Clove snorts at that, and rolls her eyes. "Nice hair," she remarks with a smirk. I scowl. 

"Yeah, it suits you nicely! You should definitely wear this look more often," Marvel agrees. My scowl deepens. I look towards Brutus, expecting him to make some cutting remark about their behaviour. Unfortunately, Brutus only grins and says, "I can't deny the facts, Cato." 

I groan, and bury my face in my hands. Enobaria cackles gleefully. "Don't worry Cato, no one will be laughing at your hair when you behead them!" She laughs again. 

I shiver. That woman may be a victor, but she's definitely slightly mental. 

"So, what's the plan?" Clove pipes up, changing the topic. I give her a slight nod to show my thanks. 

"Well, here's what's gonna happen. You get into the arena, and kill everyone who gets sucked into the bloodbath. Glimmer, grab a sword and a bow, and start attacking around the outside boundries of the Cornucopia. Marvel, your spears are good for long distance, so as soon as you grab them, get out of the Cornucopia and into the open areas where you can throw without obstruction. Clove, you stay near the mouth of the Cornucopia, and injure or kill as many people as possible. Cato, pick up your swords. Take your time in choosing the best ones, because Clove can buy time. Then, your going to burst out and attack as many tributes as you can. The second you get out of the Cornucopia, Clove can cover you. Do NOT let anyone into the Cornucopia and get their hands on weapons, got that?" Brutus finishes after a long time of talking. 

"Ok, I think we got it," Marvel says, looking towards Clove.
