Cato

We had such an amazing night last night. I mean, I've had sex before but never with someone who matters like Kat does. She was a virgin and I'm glad that I was her first time; it just makes it so much more special for both of us. She is beautiful and I have never felt like this before. Oh, when this is all over, I will make her my wife. However, we had to get up early to discuss tactics for the Games. They start in 6 hours and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. For her. Not for me. I've been training for this my whole life. I'm ready.

I'm scared. We're talking tactics and it's all becoming so real. "Right, so when the klaxon goes off?" Haymitch asks, running through the plan with Cato who already seems to know what's happening. Cato continues, "I run towards the Cornucopia, kill as many as is necessary in the bloodbath, and grab as many supplies as I can." I intervene, "I can help with that." Haymitch, Cato and Brutus all turn to face me, shouting, "NO." Cato takes my hands and explains, "Princess, it's just too dangerous for you. With Clove and Peeta both out to get you now, the best you can do is hide in the forest until I come find you, ok?" I shake my head, asking, "What if you don't make it?" Brutus and Cato roar with laughter and he just says, "Baby, I've been training for this for years. I will survive, ok?" He kisses me and I feel so reassured I collapse on his chest. Haymitch rolls his eyes and taps me on the shoulder, saying, "Ok, sweetheart, say goodbye to your lover, it's time to get ready now." I nod and turn back to Cato, kissing him. He kisses my neck and then pulls away to look me in the eyes, asking, "Princess. Kat, promise me you'll stick to the plan. If you don't, we're gonna die, and I can't lose you." I nod, tears rolling down my cheeks. I hardly ever cry back home, I think, but around Cato, I must have cried at least ten times. I just can't help myself. I kiss Cato passionately one more time and then allow myself to be led away by Haymitch, towards Cinna's open arms, where he is waiting to prepare me.

Sorry this chapter was so short guys! I'll post chapter 5 later today x
