Today is Day 7 in the arena.
Today we went hunting for Katniss, Peeta and Thresh. They are our main competition. We went 2 at a time hunting to make sure Noah doesn't do anything.
First it was Marvel and Cato and I was left alone at camp with Noah.
"So what's the deal with you and Cato?" Noah asked me.
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Do you love him?Or was the love just lust for the Capitol?" Noah said to me.
This made me think I am really in love with him and that is no lie. But was Cato saying all this just for sponsors and for the Capitol just to kill me.
"I am in love with him, but do you think Cato is?" I asked him back.
"He is." Noah said.
"How do you know?" I asked him.
"When you and Marvel went to sleep last night, he would not stop talking about you. He wants to marry you someday and start a family with you. And he said all he wants is to get out of the arena with you and if he can't he would kill himself so you can live." Noah said.
I never knew Cato thought of me like that much. I wouldn't let him die just for me though. I can't let him. It makes me tear up thinking about him dying.
"Wow, but wasn't Marvel supposed to be on guard?" I said. I was in shock.
"Yeah,Cato let him get some sleep he was pretty tired and when I first saw Cato I though he had no heart. That he was just a killing machine but I never knew you careers can be so much more than that. " Noah said.
Not to mention him and I look strangely alike. In Panem if you have a child and they are twins you have to give one twin away, if you don't the child will be executed. So my family said the other one was a miscarriage. But I really don't think it was a miscarriage anymore. When you give the child away it will be sent to another district to a family who can't have a child.
"Noah?" I ask.
"Yeah?" He replies.
"Were you adopted?" I asked.
"Yeah, I was a twin to someone but my parents chose the girl. And I got sent to a diffrent district. I don't know which district I came from but I just know I belong to a twin girl.
"Noah?" I say.
"Yes?" He asks.
We have the same nose, jawline, eyes and hair color. This isn't a coincidence. He is my brother! He is my twin! We are the same age.
"I think you're my brother." I say.
"What? No, that can't be." He says.
"Listen my family had twins and they had to give one away. Mom always said it was a miscarriage but I knew she gave him away. I knew he was boy. Plus we have the same nose, jawline, eyes and hair color. We both have freckles and look very much alike." I say.
He stays silent for a bit and they he realized. I think you are right.
I have to tell mom about this. I lived for 15 years without knowing him.
"When is your birthday?" He asks me.
"June 16th," I say.
"That's the same as mine." He says.
"How old are you?" I ask.
"15 years old, you?"
"Same age." I say.
We both sit in shock. He lived for 15 years without knowing his real parents, sisters.
"Well come here bro," I say with my arms ready for a hug.
We hugged for 10 seconds. And sat back down. I really hope he can make it out too. Cato, Noah and I. I mean I want everyone to make it out alive. Including Marvel, Rue, Foxface, Peeta, Katniss and Thresh.
Cato and Marvel come running to us.
"Clove come on, Marvel you stay." Cato says.
I nod my head at Noah and Marvel and run up with Cato. I need to tell him about Noah.
We get into the woods and he turns his head around to make sure no other tribute is around.
"What were you and Noah talking about?" He asks me.
"Is it true you want to marry me and have kids with me and if we both can't make it out of this arena you would kill yourself?" I ask him.
"Did he tell you?" Cato asks me.
I nod my head.
"Well Clove, it's true. " He says looking at me and then down.
I run up to him and kiss him. For what feels like 3 minutes.
"Come let's start hunting." Cato says.
I grab his hand and we start walking. I have knives ready and he has his spear and sword ready to go.
"Cato, there's also another thing I need to tell you." I say to him.
"What is it?" He pauses and looks at me.
" Noah and I are twins." I say.
"What no, how?" He asks me.
I explain everything.
"I would've never thought that, I guess that explains why you two look identical." Cato says.
"Do you trust him more now?" I ask him.
"Yeah, but not fully. Clove I just met him. Like I get it he's your brother but we just met him Clove." Cato says.
I get it where he's coming from but I trust Noah fully. He wouldn't hurt me and I know that for a fact.
I just nod my head.
Cato takes my hand and we keep hunting. That must have got the Capitol's attention for the day, or maybe they cut it out so the people in the Capitol wouldn't hear it. Not everyone in the Capitol knows the district rules. Who knows what the Capitol would do with it.
It's getting around dinner time. Cato and I go and get some birds and rabbits. So we can stay stalked for a few days. Cato goes to pick some berries. I wait for him when I hunt for more animals. Cato comes back with these blueberry looking berries. But those aren't blueberries, they are nighlocks. I sprint up to Cato and knock them out of his hands.
"Clove what was that for?" He asks me.
"Those are nighlocks, you would be dead in a minute." I say.
He throws them has far as possible away from us. We go down to the lake to wash his hands. We go back to camp and make a fire to cook the birds and rabbits.
We have dinner all together. And sit and talk for a bit. But It's Marvel's time for watch, Cato let him sleep last night. I fall asleep on Cato's shoulder and just like that day 7 in the arena was done.
