CLOVE POV
I know it's short but the next chapters will really start to get longer! Reviews are love!
I needed some fresh air so I walked outside the tent. I had been standing there for a few minutes when I heard Cato coming outside the tent and walking towards me.
"The scariest part was, I thought It was real. Like my biggest fear had become a reality." I said still looking out over the edge of the mountain.
"What's you biggest fear?" he asked. I already knew that he knew the answer to that question.
"Losing you. that's what happened. I lost you, Cato. It was like everything you said the other night was a lie." I said turning to face him. Cato was standing with this back to a giant boulder. He was looking at the ground but looked up as I turned around. I walked over to him, putting my hands on his chest.
"Cato, say something please." next thing I knew Cato's lips were on mine. His arms around my waist, mine around his neck. Cato Wood was kissing me! I had been dreaming of this for years. Cato broke the kiss by placing his forehead on mine.
"Clove, I do love you. I never would have told you that if I didn't mean it. I am not going to let anyone or thing hurt you. I will protect you with everything I am."
later that night…
I was lying on Cato's arm snuggled in our tent.
"Cato?"
"Yes Princess?" he said.
"When did you realize you loved me?" I asked looking up into his blue eyes.
"I've had feelings for you for a while. I realized I really loved you the other morning when I woke up from a nightmare like yours.
"Oh. What happened?" I asked rubbing his arm lovingly.
"I was coming to you after the blood bath." he stopped.
"Cato, its okay I'm pretty sure I know what happens next." I told him laying my head on his chest.
We laid there for a while in silence before I realized Cato had fallen asleep. I just laid there, thinking about what's going to happen when we go back home. What would our parents an community say? Love wasn't a very common thing in District 2. We are trained to kill that's it. Things will definitely get crazy. I needed to get some sleep. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow. We are heading home a day early because of the weather.
