After I finished my lunch I walked back up to my room. When I opened my door there was Cato laying on my bed like it was his own.

"Why are you in my room?" I demanded to know. Cato looked up at me lazily.

"I wanted the rest of my tour of course!" He sat up and looked at me. "I won't be leaving till I get it, and if don't you want me to sleep on your bed, although most girls would die for it, you better show me the basement."

I froze, why did he want to see the basement? Unless he knew about...No, he couldn't know about my bows. I guess I'll have to show him the basement, or rather the part that has no weapons in it. I really don't want him in here while I sleep, I don't trust him one bit and even though I know that it'll never happen I'm afraid he'll kill me in my sleep. I can still see him slowly killing Madge. I'll never get that out of my head, so I nod to him and then head down to the basement.

Cato was not impressed by my basement and that's all I can really say about it. Until of course he saw the other door.

"Now what's behind this door?" Cato asked raising his eyebrows at me.

"Nothing, there is absolutely nothing behind that door." Cato didn't look convinced, but he started to leave anyway. Unfortunately Gale took that moment to arrive at my house.

"Hey Catnip are you down there? I got out of school early and thought we could practice some," he yelled. Cato froze then slowly turned and smirked at me as Gale came down the stairs. When Gale got to the bottom of the stairs he gave me a confused look and gestured to Cato while asking "Why is he in your basement?" I sighed I have to tell him, he won't leave without an answer.

"He's filling in for Haymitch tomorrow, and for the rest of the Games," I grumbled. Gale just nodded and said a quick 'see ya' before leaving. Cato strolled over to me with his hands in his pockets.

"S,o do ya want to show me what's behind that door or should I head back to your room?" I gave him my toughest glare and he barely flinched, actually he moved back a centimeter I suppose that's not considered a flinch. He moved forward again and put both hands on the wall behind me, cutting off my escape route. He leaned his down and whispered in my ear. "So what's it going to be? Show me the room, or I'll be sleeping in yours." I hated the thought of him in my room, but there was no way I could show him that room. I was feeling pretty conflicted when the solution popped in to my head.

"Okay I guess you'll be sleeping in my room." I smirked at his surprised expression and pushed him away while he was still in shock.

Upstairs prim was sitting at the table doing her homework. She turned towards me and gaped when Cato came up behind me. She shot me a glance that was something like should I be curt because of Madge? I nodded Prim knew how much Madge meant, and she missed her too. Prim turned to Cato.

"I'm Prim. I'll see you later." she said before walking off. Cato looked even more surprised than before.

"I thought she would be sweet, from what I saw on TV," he mused.

"Well you know what they say, you can't believe everything you see on TV," I told him before going up to talk to Prim.Knock, knock. "Come in," came Prim's muffled reply. I opened the door and walked in.

"Prim can I sleep in your room tonight?" I asked her. She looked up at me, confused. "Of course but why?"

"Well you see I made a deal with Cato and if I didn't do my part of it he was going to sleep in my room. I never said I would sleep there too and I would've taken the guest room but if I sleep with you I can use the excuse that you're my sister so it makes sense. So can I stay here?" Prim nodded a grin slowly coming to her face.
I walked back to my room so get some clothes for tomorrow. Cato was there laying on my bed waiting for me.

"Well I never thought you would give in so easily to my god like looks and suave moves, "he commented as I walked in. I smirk at him "Tonight I'm sleeping with Prim," I state as I gather up my clothes. Cato again looks surprised, he must not be used to things not going his way.

"All I needed was some clothes for tomorrow, I suppose you I'll see you for dinner." I said while walking out.

CATO

This is not good within an hour this girl has manage to surprise me a couple of times. I have a problem with that, She has proven to be quiet clever, getting out of our deal was a brilliant idea I'll just never say it to her face. I was actually looking forward to sleeping in the same room as her, even if she slept on the floor. I have no idea why though, and I don't really care. There are tons of girls for me at home.

I then think about going down for dinner. If Mrs. Everdeen was anything like her daughters then I did not want to meet her. I still can't believe how curt and unsweet Prim was. I remember seeing her cry on TV, and thinking how she would've been the first to die in the arena. I bet Katniss put her up to it, being curt that is.

Now there's also that Gale guy. Katniss's best friend, and some say boyfriend, but I don't believe it. Well for him I believe it, I saw him in person for like a minute and it was obvious, to me anyway. Katniss though, well it was obvious she has had no experience with boys, ever. I hope I never take a liking to her because chances are she'll never figure it out. I'd probably just end up kissing her and then getting punched it the face for it. Good thing I don't like her and will never like her, or any girl like her.

I think instead of going to dinner, I'll just sleep till tomorrow. I got up, turned the lights off, climbed into bed, pulled the covers over me, and fell asleep.

KATNISS

Cato didn't join us for dinner so he was either asleep, sulking, or avoiding us. I'm not sure which he was doing, so I went up to check and found him fast asleep. It was funny really; the sadist killer looked innocent and angelic in his sleep. How ironic, I headed back downstairs to eat dinner.

"Where's Cato?" Prim asked when I came back.

"He's asleep," I answered. Prim fell silent, and mom hadn't said anything since I told her that Cato was spending the night.

After Prim finished dinner we, Prim and I, went to get ready for bed. I hurried her to bed after that. Not that I wanted the reaping to be here sooner, but it's always a hard day and I didn't want to be tired for it. I tucked Prim and myself in, and for once I didn't have any nightmares.

I woke up in the morning to sunlight streaming throw the window. I looked up and saw that Prim was already up and dressed.

"Here's some breakfast. It's almost noon so you better hurry to get ready, for some reason you actually slept in." Prim said while handing me my breakfast which I scarfed down. Then her words set in. I slept in till noon, that's impossible I always wake up due to something in the night. Most of the time I wake up from nightmares, but I didn't have any nightmares tonight. That's it, I over slept because I'd hadn't had such a good sleep in a while.

Prim took my plate away, handed me my clothes, and pushed me towards the bathroom. Just as I was going into the bathroom Cato came out of my room still looking sleepy. He must have slept in too.

I walked in to the bathroom and locked the door. Then I striped and got in the shower. I wanted to just stand in there forever, but I couldn't. I quickly washed my hair and my body. I stepped out of the shower and took a few minutes drying myself. I put my hair in a braid and took a look at the dress Prim gave me. It was blue and I'm guessing it was one of my mother's dresses. I pulled it on and walked out of the bathroom.

Cato had been waiting in front of the bathroom, and practically pushed me over on his way in to the bathroom.

"What took you so long?" he muttered as he walked into the bathroom. I rolled my eyes and headed downstairs.

Prim was waiting for me and handed me my shoes. They were some blue flats that matched the dress. She looked at me as to say now what? I just shrugged my shoulders in response. When Cato finally came down he was wearing black dress pants, dress shoes, and a navy blue dress shirt. His hair was slightly spiked up.

"Do you want to head to the square now?" I asked him.

"Yeah, sure I've got nothing better to do, might as well see the town," he said. I lead him out of the victor's village and into town. They had just finished setting up the stage when I arrived. Mayor Undersee spotted me and waved me over.

"Katniss I heard Haymitch is sick who is subbing for-. Oh you must be his replacement. Katniss isn't he the Victor of the 73rd Hunger Game? Isn't he the one that-" I cut him off.

"Yes he is. Cato this is Mayor Undersee." Cato stared at Mayor Undersee; he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Undersee that name sounds familiar, where have I heard that?" He mused. The Mayor's expression shifted to anger as he glared at Cato. Cato couldn't even remember the name of one of the people he killed. That's just horrible; I joined the Mayor and glared at Cato.

He just realized we were glaring at him and looked at us startled. "What's wrong?" he asked. The Mayor shook his head and walked away. Cato looked at me. "What did I do?" he asked.

"Figure it out yourself," I muttered. I headed for the stage with Cato a little behind me. We took our seats on the stage and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally the reaping started.

The Mayor steps up to read the history and yada, yada, yada. Effie came up and introduced herself as if we didn't already know who she was.

"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!" she exclaimed in that high pitched voice of hers. She walked over to the girls bowl and plunged her hand in.

"Minnie Tensworth!" she yelled. A thin, fourteen year old girl came up. She was a townie by the look of her blonde hair and blues eyes. The odds had not been her favor, she wouldn't live long.

Effie headed to the boys bowl now and grabbed one right off the top.
"Gale Hawthorne!"
