The Forbidden Love
By: Little Clover13 & Dot Ride
A/N: Okay I did this earlier than expected! It's the same as last time but I changed afew things. So tell me what you think! OH! Before I forget to tell you! READ DOT RIDE'S STORIES IF YOU LOVE MAXIMUM RIDE LIKE ME! Thanks!
Why did it take me this long to find out I love him? Peeta had just been killed by the mutations and sadly killed. I know I shouldn't be thinking this, but it's all I can think about right now and nothing more. Now me and Cato are climbing down from the Cornucopia and sitting inside staring at each other. We are both thinking about who should die. I don't know what's going on in his mind nut in my mind, I think I should die. I mean sure I have to get home to Prim. But after what I've learned about him, he has a younger brother and a younger sister to get home to. Then he speaks up.
"What's your sister like?"
"What?" Is he actually asking about Prim?
"Primrose? Your sister? What is she like?"
I'm shocked he is asking about her but I answer anyway, "She's like a mini version of my mom. She's 12 almost 13 and already one of the best healers in District 12. She has the bravery of my dad. Once he died her bravery at trying to stay strong after his death was… I don't know' but she was only 7 and showed no fear or worry. I felt like he was still here whenever she was so brave."
"She sounds veryspecial. Now I see why you had to volunteer to save her."
"Yes, I don't know what I would do without my kittle duck." Cato smiles at this. His real smile not the one he has when killing people. "But there is one thing she has that the rest of us don't have. She can help people in a way a natural healer could never help anyone. That is where her bravery kicks in. If anyone is in emotional pain u can always count on Primrose Everdeen to be there." I'm laughing and crying while thinking of my little sister.
Before the silence gets to long Cato speaks up, "Do you think I'm a monster?"
"No, I killed people too. That's what the games do to you it's either kill or be killed."
"But you killed because you were threatened to where you had to."
"True but that's the same reason you killed. The others would have killed you if you hadn't killed the other people. We were all killing people for the same reason. They looked up to you. You were the strongest career." He looks down then I say something neither of us expects. "Cato? I love you." Then I kiss him.
When I lean back he says, "I love you too. "Then he grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him and kisses me passionately. Then he picks me up and pushes me against the wall of the Cornucopia. His kisses are nothing like Peeta's. Peeta's kisses are sweet, soft, and delicate. Cato's are passionate, rough and caring. I put my arms around his neck and he pulls me closer. Then he pulls back and stares at me. "Katniss?"
"Yes?" Why am I still breathing hard?
"Katniss do you really love me? Or are you just saying that?"
"I truly love you. When I saw you volunteer I fell in love but I knew it would never happen because of the games." Then I kiss Cato again. He puts his hands on the small of my back so that he can pull me closer. I put my hands on his shoulders and pull him closer then we are forced apart when we hear an announcement.
