I tried to avoid any eye contact with Cato during training, but out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that he wasn't doing the same. Apparently he hasn't forgotten what happened and tried to get my attention fighting with that kid from District 6. In no time I smiled at him, actually, I was thinking his behavior was ridiculous, he doesn't care what the sponsors will think of us. I left early from training, but made sure to intimidate the girl from 12. Since I woke up at dawn, I've been feeling nauseous.

I open the door of my room when I finish to change. Now, I'm wearing a black legging pants, accompanied by a brown sweater with a drawing of a horse with a lighter color. I walk up to the dining room and all of them are already there, chatting and exchanging ideas on how to deal with the bloodbath. I sit in the empty chair on the right side of Cato, and he is already speaking of allies. They want us to be friends with the tributes from District 1. It is clear that Cato quickly shakes his head. He keeps talking about the blonde. Unfortunately, I don't have anything bad to say about her, she's beautiful and her eyes too. But I judge her, since she is blonde, she's dumb. I don't realize I said aloud.

Everyone seems to be looking at me, especially our mentors, who are laughing at me for suspecting that I just cursed the blonde because Cato mentioned her.

"Her name's Glimmer," he says.

"Even worse," I say. Cato looks down, laughing at me. Of my jealousy.

The waitress puts a set of threads with different types of fillings in our table, and then puts on a platter with shredded fish. I feel my stomach turning. I keep my mouth shut when I burp for no one notice my state. When I realize that I can't take it anymore, I get up from the table and take steps back. My lips parted. Again everyone is looking at me, probably thinking I'm crazy.

"I knew that," Enobaria says. She approaches me with a furious look on hrt face. In less than a second, she is pulling my arm. I get back to normal and push her. Brutus rises, beating his knife and fork on the table. I'm still standing. She wraps her arm at my throat, bringing me to a room with light blue reflectors. I punched her arm, until I feel someone injecting a needle in my arm, penetrating into my vein. I fight to keep my eyes open while I'm approximating the room. I can see a white man. My vision is blurry, and only hear Cato asking what was happening, but before I could know the answer, everything fades, and I close my eyes.

I force my eyes to open them, I use my hand to rub them. I'm lying on a hospital Gurney, still wearing with the same clothes. "What happened? "I look sideway. There she is, my crazy mentor.

"I'm sorry I hurt you. I knew you wouldn't have done it with other way. I think you need to talk with Cato. "

I frown my eyebrow with her answer. "What? Why? " It takes me a while to answer her, and I don't get any reply. When my vision is clear, I see she's gone. I leave the room without a backward glance, I'm sure that I will never go back there. A hand grabs my neck when I step in the living room, my back are sandwiched against the wall. I see Cato with the look I had ever seen in my life, he was very angry, and depositing it in that act.

"Just because you're with that Monster inside you, doesn't mean I won't hurt, maybe you're going to be the first, or maybe the second. I'm not afraid to hurt you, I'm not afraid of you, "he firm his big hand on my throat, squeezing it tight, taking my breath. I'm one meter off the ground. I close my eyes and sigh deeply, or at least I am trying. My body is still about calming effect.

"See? I can kill you now, " he pauses, staring at my suffering," But that would be very good for you. "

His hand moves away from my throat, but he continues in the same posicion. I fall on the floor, my legs bend, causing my knee being on his foot. Involuntarily, a tear falls from my eye. In search of air, I aspire and breath quickly. More tears drip down over my smooth skin, I'm not speechless. "You are a maniac. Let's wait till the are, "I turn my face towards him, facing him," I'm going to kill you so fast you won't even notice. "

I put my hand on my chest, finding my rhythm of breathing. I watch him go.
