Disclaimer; I was thinking, please give some feed back, to give Cato his own little "opinion" for some of the things that happen. I'm very used to swapping between characters, for some things, but this one seems like it should have it or I'll end up writing it toward the end. If you're wondering, I mean Cato's point of view on the whole book from major points.


When the three crazy looking people took me to a room to be "prepped", I was worried I wouldn't look like me when they were through. What will I look like? Pretty of course. What will I be wearing? Probably something District Two worthy, meaning short, tight, and showy. Will I like it? No choice but to Prim! I was lost in thought, when I realized they were talking to me.

"Primrose, is it? Dear, we need you to take off your clothes." Purple stated again, more like a demand. I was hesitant, but figured it would be better not to argue. So, I did what I was told, and stripped of all clothes.

I stood bare naked in the middle of the room, the three of them were making me fidget, they locked their burning gaze on my bare body. I wasn't developed quite yet, but my back was curved in a way that would show off what I would have. My blonde hair hung limply at my shoulders. Once upon a time, it was shining with the sun caught light bouncing off it. My eyes had a similar effect, they were one of those forget-me-not blues. The gray hinted at the edges of my eyes, bouncing off making my eyes seem bright and dull at the same time. Last year at this time, my eyes were like a deer's wide and curious, but now they were hard and narrowed. I wasn't afraid to use my tongue, I wasn't afraid anymore. I had nothing to lose, but my life. Finally after staring at me for so long, they laid me down on a table. Scrubbing me several times, probably taking off a few layers of skin, they pampered me. My hair, was washed at least five times. My nails done to perfection, each was curved in a roundish circle, they had been shined so they gleamed from the light. My skin was removed of any impurities, that included hair, blemishes, and skin. After what must have been four hours, they let me up. My entire body was numb, I couldn't feel anything but cold.

"Primrose, dear, this is the outfit Mr. Cato has chosen for you." Blue grinned, handing me a bag. I took it in my arms, so this was what Cato had been doing? Well what did you think? He was out flirting? Well yeah...Prim, stop being so self conscious! I can't help it! I had a mini battle going on inside of me, but what was worse was that I had a scowl on my face. The prep team was confused, but I ensured them that I was only scowling because I was deep in thought.

Green helped me to put on the dress, she had faced me away from the mirror so I could not see. On top of that. she made me close my eyes to not see what the outfit looked like. I didn't even know what I looked like yet! As much as I wanted to turn to see what Cato had picked out for me, I refrained myself. Green, Purple, and Blue just kept tweaking everything. My dress, my hair, my make-up, all with my eyes closed! Finally, I felt someone turn me around.

"Open your eyes, Primrose." Purple squealed. I did as told, and gasped.

The dress matched my eyes perfectly. Although, I was right. It was on my mid-thigh, in which I considered it showy. The top was very tight against me, along with the fact it was strapless. The dress was gorgeous, it was a light gray on the skirt, and baby blue on the top. There was a belt that was a nice shade of purple. They just had to put the purple in there, didn't they! Although, I loved it. I looked at my face, it didn't look like me! My hair was bouncing with light, my straight hair had been curled into waves. They cascaded down my back so beautifully. My eyes had a bit of gray on the top, bringing out the blue a bit more, and my lips had been glossed a nice shade of light pink. My cheeks had a minimal amount of blush added, and everything about this look made me feel beautiful.

I'm so ready for District Two. Although, they probably all looked like this. Prim! Stop, you're ruining the moment! Fine, fine.

"I look gorgeous! Thank you, so much!" I gave them all a hug, I was a weak spot still for being kind. All the ladies smiled real big at me. Just then, I heard the door open. A small intake of breath, as I turned to face the visitor. I saw Cato, and I smiled.

"What do you think?" I twirled in a small circle for him.

"I think you need these." He held out a pair of kitten heels, they were blue and gray. I smiled as I took them from his hands. I leaned down to slip them on, they matched me so well. As I put them on, I felt a bit wobbly. I'd never worn heels before, so I tried to walk with them. It wasn't so bad, I didn't trip once. They weren't that tall either, I've seen the ones on the Hunger Games, those are tall! I saw one pair once, that the girl looked about a foot taller than her District partner.

"What about now? What do you think, now?" I looked over to see Cato staring at me intensely. I walked over and waved my hand in front of his face, which I had to stand on the tips of my feet to reach.

"You look beautiful." It came out as a whisper, but I blushed anyway. Just then I realized we were alone, the prep team had left.

"So, when are we leaving?" I stepped down to my normal high, with heels added this time.

"In a few hours." He grabbed my hand, and led me out of the room. Taking me over to the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really."

"I am, if I make a sandwich. What did you like on your's?"

"I've never had a sandwich."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so I'll have whatever you do."

"Whatever you say. Although, I'm not sure you'd like it."

"I eat berries and game, do you think I'm complaining?"

"Well, no."

"Well, then just go make the sandwiches."

"Who's complaining now?"

"Me."

"Well, at least you're honest."

"I don't lie, unless I have to."

"When would that be?"

"When I have to pretend to be your lover."

"How is that a bad thing?"

"Well, for one your three years older. For two, you're the new Victor and I'm from District Twelve. For three, you can't really love a person after just meeting them."

"I could." He whispered, I knew something was up.

"How would you know that?" I was genuinely curious, I'd never felt love for someone besides my family and of course Gale's.

"I've felt it before, I know what it's like." He had a sad smile. It was saddening to know he probably lost that person.

"Was it Clove?" I flinched when it came out.

"No." He laughed.

"Then who?"

"None of your concern."

"Well, alright Mr. Keep-to-himself."

"I will."

"Are the sandwiches done?"

"...You've never seen a sandwich been made?"

"No."

"I haven't even started, give me a few minutes."

In a few minutes, I had a sandwich that was probably too much for me. It was about the size of my head, I couldn't eat it all.

"Cato, could I cut this into...Fourths?" I looked at the sandwich, wondering how Cato ate so much.

"Yeah, here." He handed me a knife.

I cut it precisely into fourths, taking only one to eat. I ate it slowly, it was really good tasting. I looked over at Cato, and he was staring at me intently, he was done! I swallowed, then nodded toward the other three pieces of my sandwich. He looked at the sandwiches then back at me.

"Take them, I can barely finish this part." I laughed, shoved the the rest of the food toward him.

"You should eat more, Primrose." He started to eat the rest of the food.

I nibbled on the rest of my part.


Cato took my hand and led me onto the train. It was beautiful, quite like the Victor Village house. I saw Cato's mentors, and instantly became afraid. I didn't know what was going to happen, so I looked down at the floor.

"Cato, who is this?" The lady asked. I believed her name to be Enobaria. The man was Brutus. They both had a strong-build and looked slightly annoyed.

"Katniss's little sister." Cato stated.

"And why is she here?" Enobaria looked me up and down in disgust.

"Why don't you ask the girl in flesh." Cato replied.

She turned toward me, and I gulped. Then I hid it by looking at her with an even face.

"Well, why are you here?" She smirked.

"Well, I believe the reasoning was that I am to become his little 'toy'. Doesn't that sound divine." I rolled my eyes, lying easily.

"Cato, you're going to abuse to this little girl? That is unacceptable, nice touch." Brutus grinned, then turned to me "You have a smart tongue, girl."

"My name, is Primrose. Defying the Capitol is something I do daily." I took a curtsy.

"I like her, she's got fire." Enobaria grinned, showing off wolf canines.

"Enobaria, may I ask, how and why did you get wolf canines? They look absolutely terrifying on you." I pointed to her golden tipped teeth.

"And you didn't even flinch? At least someone didn't. The reason, I killed the last tribute by biting out his throat. To why? To symbolize my victory." She tapped her teeth.

"She's just like her sister." Brutus whispered to Enobaria.

"Cato, what do you do on this train?" I looked up at him, only to see him staring at me.

"I'll show you, follow me." He grinned, grabbing my hand.
