Katniss stirred as someone shook her shoulders. She rolled over and cracked her eyes open expecting to meet the soft blue eyes of her sister's, but was met by equally soft doe eyes. Katniss shook the sleep out of her head, as she looked into Rue's eyes and immediately noticed the panic in them.

"What's wrong?" Katniss asked quietly, looking around the sun was just starting to rise.

"I think there is something in Cato's pants" Rue said quietly pointing down at the other tributes. Katniss nearly fell out of her hammock when Rue said this and had to grab onto a thick branch to steady herself.

"What?" Katniss hissed, getting out of the hammock and grabbing onto her bow and arrows.

"There's something in Cato's pants, it's big and pointy and it's shaking" Rue said quietly, "I don't know why he hasn't woken up yet". Katniss looked down at Cato and again nearly fell. She looked up at Rue and gave her a reassuring smile. "Go back to sleep I'll take care of him" Katniss said, with an evil smirk. Rue nodded and settled back down into her hammock. Katniss waited until she was snoring lightly before she began scaling down the tree. She passed Gill, who was meant to be on watch and saw that he was snoring away happily.

"Prick" Katniss mumbled as she passed him. She jumped the last 5 feet and landed with a light thud. She stalked over to Cato and ignored how his pants were pitched like a tent and pushed him out of his hammock. Cato jumped to his feet quickly and spun around looking for his attacker. He stopped when he saw Katniss staring at him angrily. She kept her lips in a tight line as she reached up and grabbed the top of his spiky hair roughly and dragged him away from the camp.

"What the hell?" Cato said taking her hand away from his hair.

"Don't act all innocent with me" Katniss said prodding his chest roughly ignoring how solid and muscled it felt, "You're just lucky Rue didn't realize what was really happening to you".

"Huh?"

"That raging boner" Katniss hissed poking him in between the legs with her bow, causing him to jump back slightly, "Seriously there is a 12 year old girl here, you could at least attempt to control your hormones". Cato burst out laughing at the disgusted look on Katniss' innocence.

"The look on your face, oh, that's priceless" He sniggered.

"It's not funny, Rue woke me up saying that something had crawled into your trousers, the poor thing is probably scarred for life, you eejit" Katniss nearly yelled. Cato burst out laughing again.

"Oh she is so innocent, it's cute".

"Asshole, just fix yourself, before the others wake up". Katniss turned to go but a hand caught her wrist and before she knew it, she had her back against a tree and Cato trapping her head with a hand either side of her head, a cocky smirk on his face.

"Care to help me?" Cato purred cocking his head and swooping down slightly so their lips were only a few short centimeters apart. Katniss suddenly had an idea.

"I thought you'd never ask" She whispered slightly dropping her eyelids in a seductive manner. She placed her hands on his muscled shoulder and leaned up pressing her lips to the edge of his mouth. She heard him gulp.

"I knew you wanted me" Cato said as he leaned down slowly towards her lips. But before their lips could connect, Katniss swung her leg up in between his legs, her knee connecting with his still raging boner. Cato gasped in shock and fell to his knees, holding his balls and moaning in pain.

"Pervert" Katniss hissed before running off back to the home tree, leaving Cato in the fetal position on the ground.

Katniss burst through the bushes and wasn't surprised to see all the other tributes still asleep. She shook her head and decided to get breakfast ready and pack a few things. She quickly set to work packing all the preserved venison into a bag, along with a small amount of the leftover meat from the night before leaving the majority out for breakfast along with the berries. Katniss quickly started a fire and threw some water and mint leaves into a pot and put it to boil over the fire. She looked through a few of the bags the others brought and found a loaf of bread, which she cut up and placed on a plate. She looked up at the sky, saw the sun up reasonably high in the sky and decided that it was time for the others to get up.

Katniss walked up to the base of the tree and slipped 2 fingers into her mouth and let rip and ear splitting whistle that made everyone startle awake. Marvel yelped as he fell out of his hammock and landed at Katniss' feet. Katniss laughed at the look of shock on his face and jumped back as Gill landed on top of him.

"Breakfast" Katniss said cheerfully and walked over to the fire, pouring out the tea. Everyone rushed over to grab something to eat and drink. Katniss looked over and saw that Thresh had made no move towards the fire. Katniss managed to grab a cup and some of the food and quickly brought it over to him.

"Here" Katniss said handing him the sustenance.

"Thank you". He took a bite of the meat on the warm bread.

"You're not going to join the others".

"No I prefer being by myself, the only exception I make is my niece" He said solemnly taking a gulp of his tea.

"Niece?" Katniss questioned her eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes, my niece, Rue". Katniss felt her jaw drop open.

"Rue is your niece".

"Yes I have a sister who is fifteen years older than me, I've been helping to take care of Rue since she could walk".

"That's why you're so protective of her". He nodded and was about to start talking again when Cato came stomping through the bushes, anger radiating off of him like a violent cloud.

"Look big foot has decided to join us" Marvel smirked and received a high five from Peeta. Clove rolled her eyes and scooted over slightly as Cato plopped down onto the ground and began eating glaring at Katniss every so often.

"Cato, are you okay? Did you get that thing out of your pants?" Rue asked gently from across the fire. Everyone at the time had been taking a drink of tea and they all spat it out.

"What?" Agua choked out coughing slightly. Cato looked at the little girl and laughed slightly.

"Yeah, we took care of it" Cato said smugly.

"We?" Peeta said cautiously.

"Yeah" Rue spoke up, "Him and Katniss". Katniss nearly fainted when she said that and felt her face turn red as everyone stared at her. Thresh held her shoulders as she swayed slightly.

"How could you?" Peeta choked out in shocked whisper. Katniss looked at Cato with a murderous glare.

"I doubt she would have done anything" Thresh said from behind Katniss. "If anything I'd say she probably walked away".

"Exactly, when he didn't let me go I kicked him" Katniss said hastily. "Why do you think it took so long before he got…" Cato had walked up to Katniss and slapped his hand over her mouth.

"Are you trying to embarrass me?" Cato hissed in her ear. Katniss growled and bit down hard on his hand drawing blood. Cato yelped and pulled his hand back.

"What the hell do you do to your teeth? Sharpen them? Who are you Enobaria?" Cato yelled wrapping a cloth around his hand. Katniss smiled smugly and she felt Thresh clap her on the back.

"Nice" Thresh mumbled in her ear before walking over and sitting down next to Rue and Joena.

"Bitch"

"Bastard" Katniss spat. Cato growled and stomped back to the fire, sitting next to Clove and Agua whose faces were red from trying to hold in their laughter. Marvel and Gill on the other hand we're laughing their heads off.

"What was wrong with Cato, Thresh?" Rue said sweetly, looking up at her uncle. Thresh visibly paled under his rustic skin. He tugged uncomfortably at the collar of his shirt.

"Yes Thresh" Cato said innocently, "What was wrong with me?" Cato smiled evilly as he placed his hand on his fist, while resting his elbow on his knee. Thresh looked at him angrily.

"Well Rue" Thresh began shifting uncomfortably, "Katniss felt that Cato was misbehaving because he was being rude to her so she kicked him very hard in his area". Thresh sighed as he finished. Rue's head was cocked to the side and she had a quizzical look on her face. Then it disappeared and you could see a light bulb light up over her head.

"Oh you mean Katniss kicked him in the balls" Rue said. Thresh went bright red and everyone else, minus Katniss, burst out laughing. All the careers were rolling on the ground, Clove and Glimmer beating it with their fists.

"Rue, where on earth did you hear that language?" Thresh mumbled looking at the little girl.

"In school I heard a bunch of the older kids talking like that" Rue explained, "Which reminds me, what's a blowjob?" Thresh went ruby red and the careers and Peeta went into another round of strong laughter.

"OKAY" Katniss yelled above the laughter, having had enough of the discussion, "We are leaving in 20 minutes if you don't have your stuff packed by then we're leaving you here". Katniss scampered up the tree as she said this and began to put her hammock away.

"Where are we going?" Gill yelled. Katniss looked down stuffing the cloth part of the hammock her bag.

"We're going to try to find some form of civilization" Katniss said simply. Everyone immediately began packing up and less than 15 minutes later they were hiking through the woods again.

Thresh ran up to Katniss.

"Thank you" He whispered in her ear before disappearing back next to Rue. Katniss smiled at the 2. Then felt something grab her hand she looked over and saw Cato holding her hand. She was about to give out to him when he gave her a sharp tug and she went under a branch that was about to hit her head.

"Thanks" Katniss mumbled after he released her hand.

"Anytime" Cato whispered. When Katniss turned away he quickly swooped down and kissed her cheek, before running over to Gill and Glimmer. Katniss brought her fingers up to brush her cheek as she felt tingles from where his lips touched her skin.

"You okay?" Peeta asked from behind her.

"Yeah" Katniss said, looking at Cato from the corner of her eye, "I'm fine".
