Thank you for reading my story! If you could a few more reviews would be nice :) Katniss is a little more bold in this story and Peeta is more of an abuser/bully. based his character on an old boyfriend of mine so bear with me please :) I do not own the Hunger Game all rights belong to Suzanne Collins and The Studio that made the movie.

Enjoy :)

Katniss POV

Once I finish my favor to Cato I go back to my floor. I creep into my room and lay down on the soft bed and I fall asleep dreaming of Cato.

I wake up the next morning with a smile on my face. I walk into the dining room and sit down at the table. Effie, Peeta, and Haymitch are sitting at the dining room table eating breakfast quietly.

I decide to break the silence " Hello Effie, how are you on this fine morning" I ask in a cheery voice.

" Well, I'm thrilled that you have learned some manners" Effie beams.

I take a orange from the fruit bowl on the table and eat it. I then decide to go into my room and change into my training clothes.

I hear a rustle just as I finish putting on my shirt. Peeta emerges and I start to yell at him " What the hell are you doing in here" I yell at him.

" I didn't know that you were changing" he says looking down at the floor. " Yeah, Well get out" I tell him in a flat tone.

" Katniss, Where were you last night" he asks me. I hesitate before deciding to tell him the truth " I was with Cato" I tell him. " Why" he asks. " Because I like him we have already been over this" I tell him annoyed. " Well what did you guys do" he asks me. God it's like I'm being interrogated. " That is none of your business" I say walking out the door and back into the dining room.

" Effie were going to go ahead and go down to the training center" I say walking towards the elevator.

When I get down to the training center Cato and the careers are walking toward me. Cato leans down and kisses me. I smile into the kiss and then break it looking nervously at the careers. " Katniss we saw you shoot the bow and we want you in our alliance" says Clove.

I look at them skeptically before Clove starts talking " Don't worry Cato assured us that you are worth it" she finishes.

I smile at her then at Cato and say " Then I'm in" I hear a scoff behind me and I don't even have to guess who it is. " What do you want 12" Clove sneers at my district partner. " Wow she can realllly flip her emotions" I whisper to Cato who looks at me and snickers.

" Well isn't it sweet the whore and her boyfriend are now in an alliance" Peeta sneers. " You do know that you will have to kill each other in the Arena right" he spats at us. I see the tributes from 1 tense and I see Clove tense as well. Cato I feel tense beside me and he goes to take a step forward. I put my arm on his and give him a look telling him not to move. I walk up to Peeta and look at him with a glare before speaking " You know for someone who " likes" me you sure have a funny way of showing it" I sneer. " I know that you like me to" Peeta says in defiance. " Right, that's why I was screaming your name last night right" I ask with a sarcastic smirk.

Before I know it I feel a fist connecting with my face. I double over in pain and that's when I realize two things, Cato is not longer beside me and Peeta is pinned to the wall. " If you touch something that is mine I get very protective so let me tell you one thing"Cato seethes " Katniss or I will be the one to kill you in the arena and If it's me I will make sure you have a slow painful death" he finishes with a death glare.

For the first time since the train I see fear in Peeta's eyes. Cato punches him one time and then I come up beside him. I look at Cato with a smirk as he holds him still and I punch Peeta once in the face. I turn to walk away as Cato lets him go but he cries out " Katniss" I look at him with a sad look before answering his plea" You dug your own grave Peeta"

Cato wraps his arm around me as we walk to the sword station. He takes me face in his hand and inspects the bruise that is forming around my eye and cheek. " That sun of a bitch should never have hit you " he says a look of pure fury. " Cato it's fine" I tell him slipping my hand over his. " Really though" he says looking at me. " I can't believe that you told him that you screamed my name" he says with a smirk. My Cato is defineatly back. I blush before responding " I do believe you said my name quite loudly last night as well. " " Touche" he answers smirking before handing me a sword.

Cato Pov

I am going to kill that fucking kid. He fucking hit her. It took all of my will to walk away with just one punch.

I lead Katniss over to the sword station because I think that training will help me get the anger out. I can't believe that I let her take that punch.

I've been trained I should have seen that punch coming.

Peeta Pov

I hate seeing them over there talking, laughing, and kissing. It's what I should be doing with Katniss. I love her and that career scum is just using her it's pathetic.

I think of how she punched me and I think that I deserve it. I shouldn't have hit her but when she said what she did about his name I knew what she was doing with him and it just made me so angry.

I do know one thing I am not done fighting for her.
