She came here with me.

Chapter 25

I wake up early to a Capitol voice saying, "Today will be a very big day!" 

Did Cato and I win? Am I dreaming this? None of the above. 

It was Cato's voice. 

"Funny joke Cato!" I say. 

Cato was intimating Pearl. I have to say it was really funny. I wonder what Pearl would think when she sees that. Hopefully she would take it as a joke, or even forget about it. The people in the Capitol do have some wired voices. 

"What time do you think it is?" I ask Cato since there is no way of telling what exact time it is in the arena. 

"About 1 or 2 in the afternoon. " Cato said. 

I just smiled at him. 

"My little princess needed her beauty sleep," Cato says laughing. 

"Oh shut up Hadley." I say. I learned that if you call Cato by his last name he will actually listen to you. That's how I get him to listen and to stop when he calls me 'Clover.'

"All right," Cato says more serious. 

Today is day 12 in the arena. The people in the Capitol must be getting bored. Since there hasn't been a kill in 3 days. There will probably be a feast soon. 

Cato makes me lunch. We have rabbit legs for lunch. 

As we are eating lunch Claudius Templesmith's voice is boomed threw the arena. He is probably inviting us to a feast as the people are getting bored. 

"Attention tributes, attention!" Claudius Templesmith says. 

I look over at Cato and he is listening.

"Tomorrow there will be a feast at the cornucopia, before you say no to the invite this is no ordinary feast. Each of you need something desperately. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!" He says. 

The game makers probably want to kill at least one of us off. But what do Cato and I need desperately? Maybe food? Or even amour? 

"What do you think we need desperately?" I ask Cato.

He thinks for a bit and then says "Maybe food or armor?" 

"I was thinking the same thing." I say to Cato. 

He smiles and kisses my forehead. 

"Who's going tomorrow?" I ask him.

"Well you can decided." Cato says. 

"Can I?" I ask Cato.

"You have to be safe." Cato says. 

"Cato don't worry I will." I reply. 

"I want to get fire girl." I say to him.

"I'll let you have her if only you give the Capitol a good show." He says. 

"I promise I will!" I say.

He smiles and hugs me.

"What will you do during the feast?" I ask Cato.

"I'll get Thresh, Peeta or Foxface." Cato replies.

At that moment I realize that we are so close to going home. There are 6 of us left. Cato and I just need to kill Katniss, Peeta, Foxface and Thresh and we will be home. Home safe. I've never missed home so much right now. 

A few hours pass. 

Cato and I just finished dinner and we are getting ready for bed. We moved our camp near the cornucopia but not to close. There is a small pond near the cornucopia that we set up camp near. We get into the pond and wash off. I wash off my hair and face. It's really sweaty and greasy. I've never felt more disgusting in my life ever then right now. I probably have so much acne right now. After we rinse off we go near our bags. 

"Well Clove, you need to rest up for tomorrow, I'll take watch again."  Cato says. 

"But you took watch last night, It's my turn." I say to Cato.

"I'll be fine Sevina don't worry!" He says. 

"Are you sure?" I ask him just to make sure. 

"I'll be okay, now close your beautiful eyes and rest up for tomorrow." He replies. 

I lay down on his chest, he playing with my hair. 

"You know Clove, this is one of the first times I've seen you without your hair up and you look so beautiful." Cato says.

I get a warm feeling in my stomach and I start to blush. I know Kate is probably saying it isn't a good idea to be in love in the games but this love feels like it was meant to be. 

I shut my eyes while Cato still plays with my hair, I feel my face and there is no acne . I'm surprised. Did Steph give me something when she was fixing me up for the parade so I wouldn't break out? Because I haven't since the tribute parade. Anyways I know tomorrow will be a long day so I shut my eyes and fall asleep.
