Chapter 4 (KPOV)

I wake up in the morning to find Marvel still spooning me. I like the feeling of his arms around me. It feels like home. He is still snoring slightly so I take the time to reminisce last night. I try to think about what he said.

"I promise I will never hurt you. I promise I will always protect you. I care for you Katniss." He whispers.

I think that he thought I was already asleep. I was on the verge but willed myself to hear what he was saying. He cares for me. He must. He wouldn't have said it while he thought I was asleep if he didn't mean it.

Marvel starts to stir and I look back to him. He slowly opens his eyes and a look of confusion crosses his face when he sees me. Then he must of remembered because he puts on a smile and gets up from the bed. He takes my hand and we walk out of my room.

Haymitch invites Marvel for breakfast and he sends us down to the training room. Marvel lets go of my hand as we enter through the doors.

"Do you want to know how to throw a spear?" Marvel asks. When I see a bow I smile but I nod to Marvel anyways. It can be handy to know how to use more than one weapon. We descends the stairs and all of the tributes watch us. I look down to my feet and let Marvel guide me to the spears. We pass and angry Glimmer and a snarling Cato.

"Marvel. What are you doing with this District Twelve scum?" Cato says. This flares my temper and I slap him. The sound echo's across the room and out of the corner of my eyes I see a very shocked and worried Marvel and a surprised Glimmer. I laugh.

"I'm not scum. Wait till the arena. I have a few plans and you don't stand a chance." I claw at his face and Marvel holds me back. Cato has a black eye and a couple cuts on his face. He growls at me and throws the sword at me. Marvel tackles us both to the ground and gets up after the knife has passes.

"What is wrong with you?!" Marvel yells angrily. Atla steps up and speaks.

"Now. Now, kids. You have plenty time for that in the arena." She tells us then walks off to the Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane. Apparently they both have the hots for each other. Glimmer is back on Cato, claiming she just wants to make it feel better by assaulting his face with her fake lips.

"I'll get you in the arena, Twelve." Cato threatens. I throw my hands up in the air and feign terror.

"Oh my god! I'm shaking in my boots!" I exclaim and I hear a few people laugh as I actually squirm in my boots. Cato takes in a large amount of air and puffs it all out.

"You better watch your back." He tells me with a glare almost as icy as mine. I smirk and glare back. Marvel pats my back.

"That was very bold Katniss. We need to watch out in the arena." He tells me. I smile when he says, we.

"Don't worry. I know how to fight." I wink at him and I run off to the knot tying station, Marvel close behind.

Marvel and I have planned to stay together. In the arena, Marvel will be apart of the careers. But only the first night. He is going to get his spears and my bow. Then we will meet up. But the problem is, we don't know what the arena will be like this year.

So Marvel and I have come up with our own little signal. It's a four note song and we will both whistle it. When we hear the whistle, we follow the noise. We also made a whistle for when we are in trouble. It's a eight note whistle and it sounds like one a pianist would play if a shark was coming towards you.

We are tying knots, me going threw them like a fish would go through water, and Marvel is completing them like a fish out of water. So I end up having to help him on his skills. Haymitch has told us to stay away from the stuff we are good at. So we didn't get to throw spears earlier. So we are just going to cover the basics.

"Your really good at this." Marvel comments when we get to the plant section of the course. I smile at him.

"Thank you." I tell him and not to soon after, the bell rings for lunch. Marvel tells me that he has to get in good with the careers. So I suggested that we quit seeing each other in public and we can meet up on the roof every night. I really don't like this plan, neither does Marvel, but it's for the better. I have grown attached to Marvel. Marvel even fought against the idea of us being separated. And I know one of us will have to die for the other to live but I can't help it. Marvel is too.. Likeable? I'm not sure if that's really the word to describe Marvel but anyone around him would like him.

And that's what worries me. What if any other girls like Marvel and he ends up spending more time with them. I know it's silly I am thinking this way. I only just met the guy. He managed to break down every wall I ever had with just one look. Years and years of practice, shoving people away from me, and here, Marvel, has managed to destroy all of that.

I am brought back to reality when I hear the loud boasting of the careers. They are cheering and passing around the food. Not really passing. They are throwing the food at each other, while Marvel tries to act happy and bubbly about this. He's doing really good but only I notice it. And it's because I knew what to look for.

"What about this Katniss chick? District Twelve scum. Why where you hanging out with her Marvel?" I hear Glimmer ask flirtatiously, looking at both Cato and Marvel and

batting her fake eyelashes. I scoff at her, even though I know she doesn't see or hear me. Marvel clears his throat.

"She's not scum. And she's way more beautiful than you will ever be." He snarls. On the inside, my heart flutters. On the outside, I try to keep my cold exterior up. But I can't help the feeling tugging on my lips. I go and sit down with Rue, while secretly listening to the rest of the careers conversation.

"Beautiful? Look at her!" Glimmer exclaims and I can feel the stares of everyone. I look up to Rue and Thresh and Rue gives me a friendly smile. She ducks her head and whispers,

"You really are beautiful." She tells me I smile at her and touch her soft black hair.

"Not as beautiful as you." I remember back to Prim when I almost say, 'Little Duck.' My eyes tear up a little but I make sure no one notices. Then I zone back in to the careers conversation.

"And?" I hear Marvel and Cato scoffs.

"Don't worry Glimmer, Marvel just wants some but he doesn't want a challenge. Am I right?" Cato asks and my temper flares again. I shift in my chair enough to see Marvel and his reaction. Marvel's face is red and he is clenching the table.

"No Cato. I don't want, 'some', and I think we are all to young for that. But obviously we're not young enough to be whores like Glimmer." He snarls at them. Venom oozes out in every word. Glimmer gasps and turns to Cato.

"Cato you got to do something about this! Kick him out of the group!" She suggests excitedly and under the table you can see her hands drift to an area that they shouldn't be in. Cato tilts his head back and lets out a sigh.

"Marvel. You are no longer apart of the careers. Get lost." Cato gives in and kisses Glimmer. I grimace and Marvel smiles. Not at the kiss but that he is kicked out. Well we can throw the new plan out the window. But I'm glad he is out of the group too.

Marvel basically sprints to my side and lets out a sigh. I smile at him and give him a hug. Marvel is surprised at first but soon hugs me back. I revel in his warmth and we pull apart to soon for my liking.

"Thank you for standing up for me Marvel." I tell him. Marvel smiles down at me.

"Anytime." He tells me. I smile and look at Thresh and Rue.

"Marvel this is Thresh. This is Rue." I introduce them. Rue smiles at us mischievously.

"So you guys love each other?" Rue questions and I look over to see Thresh with a big grin. I stutter as I feel my cheeks pool with red. I look up to Marvel to see his are a similar shade and he scratches the back of his head.

"I don't know." We both answer. I don't hate him. I like him and I don't know what love feels like. But I'm scared to fall in love. I know I have these weird feelings, but I can't quite classify them just yet. If they are what I think they are then, maybe. Maybe I am in love with Marvel. I turn to Thresh.

"What's it like to be in love, Thresh?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. His grin fades and he opens his mouth.

"Love is when you can't imagine your life without that person. Where you miss someone so bad, it physically and mentally hurts you to be away." He tells me. He looks like he wants to add something else to his small speech but settles with these next words.

"And it looks like that's what you two are. In love." He grins and crosses his arms. I blush even more and shyly look to Marvel. Can I imagine what would have happened if I didn't meet Marvel? Only a little bit. I can see myself. Sitting on the train and in my room all alone. Just sitting there. Worrying of what might become of the next day. But other than that, I can't imagine anything. If only I knew Marvel when we were younger. If only we didn't live in this cruel world. If only there was no Hunger Games.

"Marvel?" I ask him. He looks down to me, beet red cheeks and his eyes hold care and worry. I can't imagine what must be going through his head right now.

"I think I do." I whisper. It didn't take to long for me to. Maybe Marvel loves me back.

"I…"
