She came here with me.

Chapter 48

*One week later*

Today the twist of the quarter quell will be revealed. I haven't been able to get some sleep. I am so worried that I will be sent back into the games. Brutus and Enobaria have their wedding before the reaping which is in two weeks. They want to get married before these games. I get out of bed to the smell of freshly warm pancakes. I knew Cato would do this. It just seems like a Cato thing to do.

I get dressed and go downstairs to see Cato cooking pancakes. 

"Good morning Clover." He says smiling while finishing up the last pancake.

"Morning!" I say while sitting down at the kitchen island. Cato finishes the pancakes and then pulls out the stool beside me for him to sit down. 

"So how was your sleep?" He asks.

"I actually had a good dream since the games." I say.

Last night my dream was about how Cato and I lived a free life away from Panem. We were in a beautiful country called Canada. Everyone was free there and happy. There was no Snow and no hunger games. We were just two normal teenagers with normal friends and normal lives. Two normal teenagers in love as well. I looked to be about 16 years old and Cato 17 years old. In the dream my dad, Kate and Noah were all still alive. My mom didn't drink a drop of alcohol. I had the best life and then I woke up to find myself in Panem.

"May I ask what it was about?" Cato asks me.

"Well it was about how we didn't live in this cruel world and lived normal and happy lives. We were free and happy. Kate, Noah and my dad were all still alive. My mom didn't drink alcohol. It was just a very good dream until I woke up in Panem with Snow as our leader."

"Aww Clove, I'll do anything for that dream to come true someday." Cato says. 

"Why don't we just run away from Panem?" I suggest. 

"I would do anything to do that, but sadly they would find us some way. They would probably turn us in avoxes or take us hostage." 

"I wish we could run away and be free and live normal lives. Get away from Panem and their stupid hunger games." I say.

"Me too Clove, but sadly we can't." Cato says looking down and I sigh sad.

"I wish our baby can grow up and live a normal life away from Panem, the Capitol eye and their stupid hunger games." I say.

"I wish the exact same thing. After he or she is born the Capitol will be all over he or she." Cato says.

"I know, that's why I want to run away but no matter how good we can hide they will find us." I say.

Cato nods in agreement and passes me a pancake to eat and turns on the T.V. 

In 5 minutes the quarter quell twist will be reveled. 

After 5 minutes of watching Capitol T.V Snow comes on to announce the twist. I get butterflies in my stomach. I am so worried I will have to go back into the games.

"For the 75th annual Hunger Games, to show that even the strongest can not over come the Capitol, the tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of victors." Snow says with the evil look on his face. I start to ball. I almost fall down but Cato catches me.

"It's okay Clover, there are lots of Victors in District 2 and even if you did get reaped I'm sure Enobaria or Lyme would volunteer for you." Cato says.

"Cato, I'm more worried about you. I need you to come back if you go into the games. I can't be a single mother, you saw how my mother turned out when my father died." I say and Cato has a sad look on his face. 

"Clove, if I go back in I will come back no matter what I promise." He says while trying to hold back tears.

"Cato if we both go into the games, they won't make the same mistake again of both of us living and you know that." I say. 

Cato again has a sad look on his face. Oh what I would give to just live a normal life.
