'Finick- To be picky' Cato could have any girl he wanted but he only wanted his Catnip. When Cato was 12 he went to 12 w/ his dad to do special Peacekeeper training. The moment he sees Katniss for the first time he knows there's something so he keeps coming back. Over the years that something gets stronger. But when they both go to Hunger Games they know that its no time to play but when something gets between them they have to play… around the rules.' Okay so this is my first Fanfic but I've been writing for awhile but I've never shared any of my stuff publicly. Some things I would like to explain… 1) Peeta is in the story but since I can't get myself to kill him he's Kat's cousin and does not get reaped, 2) I know Cato sound kinda like a girl but to bad I'm not good with the male's POV.
Oh here's the disclaimer: I do NOT own the Hunger Games if I did Cato would some how live along w/ Rue, Finnick, and Prim, the book would not be as good.
Ch1: CPOV
As my dad and I stepped off the train and on to the platform I see District 12 for the first. Cole dust covered the roads, the buildings, the people; even the air was thick with it.
"Cato" my dad stood beside me in his white Peacekeepers uniform mine was similar but no helmet, "Come on we need to go sign in". He led me to the Justice Building where the issued me a weapon. Since I was only 12 I couldn't have a gun but I got a small sword, a communicuff, and a small taser in case of an emergency.
One morning a few weeks later I woke up to find myself alone in the small house I shared with my dad. As I was getting my self breakfast I saw a note my father had left, 'Cato- I have to supervise the mines today so you have off. I made sure you can go anywhere you like just don't go too far into the meadow. Wear your uniform and communicuf in case you need me,-Dad'
So I could go anywhere I like just no where near the mines (they're dangerous even for trained officials) and no to far into the meadow. After putting on my uniform I head out to fin this meadow my dad was talking about.I got to the fence that closed off District 12. I was just about to touch it when I realized that there was a sign that said that it was electrified 24 hours a day. When I listened for the soft hum I didn't hear it so I slipped under a 4ft hole (A/N- Same hole Katniss and her dad use and my guess is that Gale used it too).
I ventured off in to the woods on the other side of the fence listening to the animals and the trees God. I would love to have this back home I thought to myself. I was pretty far into the forest when I heard voices.
"What's that Daddy?" what sounded like a little girl asked. I hid behind a tree but not before seeing three people around a pond. "That is you" and older man said, most likely her dad. "That's not me Daddy that's a plant!" the girl giggled as a boy laughed (A/N- I know she sounds younger than 10 but when she's in the woods w/ her dad she's a lot happier).
I stepped out from behind the tree to get a better look. I tried to be quiet but I stepped on a stick and it broke with a loud crack. All three quickly turned in my direction. I was caught. As the girl turned her loosely braided hair landed on her shoulder and, as I looked at her, I realized she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
Thank you for reading and PLEASE review! I know at the end he calls her a thing but the way I had it in my rough draft didn't sound good.
