The lonely boy.
The sun was shining brightly in the early morning on District 2. Everyone started their usual work routine, children walked to school, young adults began their training in the woods. All was well with the people of District 2. After all, this was a career District, so they are much better off than the other Districts (besides 1 and 4.) On the other hand, there are many people who find it not so much of an advantage to live in the Career Districts. Cato being one of them. He was just a young boy, at the age of 10. His 13 year old brother was just killed in the 68th hunger games, his mother killed in the Hunger Games, at the tender age of 18. Cato has one other sibling, "Saorse", pronounced "Seer sha." She is 12. His mother was married off at the age of 14 and had her first child at 15. Cato's father was 16 when he married Cato's mother. Cato hates the Hunger Games, but once he gets the chance, he will volunteer to take out his rage on the Games.
5 years prior to the 74th Hunger Games...
"Cato, put down that machete, and come to your Grammar Lesson. We don't pay extra money to home school you so you can goof off!" Yelled his father. Cato flung the machete into the tree in front of him so that the blade stuck into the 'X' he had drawn on for aim, easily demonstrating his mastery of throwing blades. At only eleven he was already dangerous. He was so unstable as well. This was only the beginning to his madness. Although, there was a humanity and compassion to him. But it was hidden, deep down inside, and only in a rare stroke of luck would anyone see it. He couldnt show it. It would deem him weak, and being weak doesnt grant you a win in the Hunger Games.
