Life of the Mockingjays (Sequel to Panem High)

Abducted

Katniss P.O.V

I wake up in the morning to giggling and scrunch my eyebrows together. "Cato , shh" clove whispers laughing slightly. "Hmm no" he says and I quietly roll over so I can see them. Cloves sitting on top of Cato smiling. I roll my eyes and keep watching them. "I love you" Cato says and I smirk. "Love you too" clove says. "And I love both of you" I say making them jump and I laugh. Peeta stirs besides me but falls back asleep. "Way to ruin a moment" clove says and I smirk. "Well go have your moment somewhere else. Some of us are trying to sleep" I say and clove sticks her tongue out at me. "And cato?" I say. "Mhm" he murmurs in response. "Control your girlfriend" I say and he laughs slightly. "I am divergent and I cannot be controlled" she says and I look at cato confused. "What?" I say. "What?" She asks. "You jus-"anyway I'm going inside for breakfast" she says standing up and walking out the tent. I lie back down and Cato looks at me quizzically. I just shrug and close my eyes, letting sleep take over me.

Clove P.O.V

I walk inside with Cato following me and head to the kitchen. I grab some toaster waffles and stick them in. I put some for Cato as well. He spins me around and kisses me. I smile and wrap my arms around his neck. He deepens the kiss but I pull away when the waffles are done. He pouts and I laugh. I take a bite out of one but instantly regret it as I probably look like an idiot because it is too hot. "Just spit it out" cato says and I look at him wide eyed. It eventually cools and I chew it. "Who would do such a thing?" I ask. "Uh someone who doesn't want to burn their mouth" he says and I shrug. "Maybe I wanted to burn my mouth" I say winking and he shakes his head while taking a bite out of his own waffle. I smile and jump up on the counter, failing miserably and end up on the floor with my hand up in the air to protect my waffle. Cato bursts out laughing and I stand up. "Well that was sore" I say and he pulls me into a hug , still laughing hysterically. I eat my waffle and Cato lifts me up onto the worktop. He stands in between my legs and waits for me to finish my waffle. He looks at the ground, his smile faltering. "What's wrong?" I ask concerned. He bites his lip and glances up at me. "My parents" he starts and I look at him confused. "They told me that I'm not a Hadley" he says and I look at him confused. "What do you mean?" I ask. "I'm adopted. That's what I mean. Well it's really more like abducted"he says and I gasp. "They also said to find my real family because they didn't want me. They said I reminded them of Silvano and they couldn't deal with it." He says and I shake my head. "Cato that's horrible. Do you know who your real parents are?" I ask. He just nods. "Well who are they?" I ask. "Uh they think I died at childbirth. My 'parents' stole me" he says putting air quotations around parents. I shake my head. "Oh my god" I whisper and he nods. "Well you need to tell them" I say and he shakes his head. "I-I can't. They have another child. I can't just intrude on their life" he says. "Cato. Think about it. They think your dead. They were probably grieving for a long time and then you show up. How happy do you think they'll be?" I ask and he smiles slightly at the idea of it. "Look at me" I say and he looks at me. "I love you and they will too" I say kissing him. He kisses back and when I pull away he smiles. "Well I think I'll do it now" he says. "Wait now?" I ask and he nods. "What's the point in delaying it" he says. "Do you want me to come?" I ask and he shakes his head. "As much as I love you I need to do this alone" he says and I nod. "Okay , good luck" I say and kiss him passionately before letting him leave. "Thanks" he says nervously and steps out the house.

Anonymous P.O.V

I sit on the sofa, watching my husband attempt to fix the television. I smile and push the hair out my face. The doorbell rings and I stand up to answer it. I walk to the door and see Cato standing. "I need to talk to you" he says and I let him in. My husband and I sit down and Cato sits across from us. I smile slightly and he looks down. "Is it true that you had a son that died at birth?" He asks and I look at my husband sadly before nodding. "Well is it also true that he has a birth mark on his lower left back?" He asks and we nod. "Okay well. I guess I came to tell you that I'm that baby" he says and I gasp. "That baby died!" I say and he shakes his head. "That baby was stolen" he tells us and I shake my head in disbelief. "I've had blood tests and DNA that show I'm your biological son. Phone the doctor if you don't believe me" he says. I phone the doctor and he told me that it is true and my eyes fill with tears. I look to my husband to see him smiling proudly. I grab Cato and hug him tightly. "This better not be some sick joke" my husband says laughing slightly. Cato shakes his head. "I swear it's not a joke. The couple that stole me told me said that I reminded them of Silvano and told me I had to go find my real family because they didn't want me anymore" he says and I shake my head. "Well can we call the cops?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Already have" he says and I smile. "Well this is fabulous. We'll get Alex over and tell her the news. We'll all go out. As a family" I say hugging him and I cry on his shoulder. "It's okay" he says wrapping his arms around me. "Haymitch , come here" I say putting an arm out and he hugs us both. I smile and pull away , phoning Alex. She says she'll be over as soon as she can.
