My Revenge
A Katniss Story
Chapter 7
Hover craft hanger-Capitol-Trust me
In a hanger on their wedding night Cato was going to get a lot of news & information that was going to be hard to take. Katniss looked at Brutus & said "Tell him the truth. He has the right to know. Nobody else can be hurt anymore Brutus except for Cato." Katniss looks at Cato: "It's a good thing Cato. It probably saved your life.'
Cato: Brutus? What is Katniss talking about?
Brutus: You know you were the exception in age to enter the academy at 7. 19 years ago, I was engaged to your mother until I did something very stupid which broke our engagement. Her parents arranged for Cain Stone to marry her, fast because of you. When your family died, your Uncle had came to me stating that his 'real' father should raise his son so I sponsored you into the academy on your 7th birthday as your mentor.
Cato (looking at his wife): Now how in the hell did you figure this out?
Katniss: 1) Your blood type Cato. It's rare you'll need a blood relative. Your parents didn't have your blood type. Put two & two together with the only other person closest to you with the same blood type, that was Brutus.
Cato: How did it save my life?
Katniss: Snow doesn't know, if he did he could have used Brutus against you & vice versa to do his bidding.
Cato: That explains 'son & boy'.
Brutus: Yes & why I pushed you not to make the same mistakes that I did. To become a better man than I was at your age.
Katniss: Cato? Talk to me.
Cato: You (looking at Katniss) amaze me. Katniss what's that white string there for?
Katniss: My take on (whisper in his ear page 75 as his eyes got big). We have to change and leave everything that we wore today here. The rest I'm telling you on the way. Haymitch we (looking at Cato) need a break from both sides. He has the right to know everything now.
Haymitch: Okay I can run interference for a few days but you guys need to go & fast. So go change the clothes are in the bags. Then the scans before you go. Meet at the lodge in 2 days.
Both Cato & Katniss just nod then go & get changed. However, they had went in the same room & when Cato pulled that string he growled "oh my god", while making a mental note on getting Brutus notes on pain for Snow for wrecking this night. The reason he wanted to get Snow now because his wife had the perfect interpretation of his favorite fantasy of all time. Yet they hurried and changed into the clothes provided, came out & got the scans done so they wouldn't be traced by Snow's forces. On Katniss they found four. All which occurred while in the med center when she was in her coma. This pissed off Cato. They could have endangered our baby he thought. What were these assholes thinking. However on Cato the mother lode of over 27 including some that were planted onto his bones.
Katniss: "Hon, you're walking talking tack device." However looking at it show a coordinating injury from his childhood prior to going with Brutus. This chinches it for Katniss while they get busy removing all the devices on him. Katniss looks at Cato: Each injury happened while you were with your Uncle didn't it? Cato just nodded.
Katniss looked at Brutus: "Until you got him away from his Uncle, Brutus Cato was abused by him. Because he knew that you were the father.
Brutus: He loved Cato's mother too & when I blew it, she chose Cain so he took his anger out on Cato because he wanted her still. As god as my witness, I will make him feel every bit of pain that he put Cato through and make it worse.
Cato is using every bit of self control not to scream out in pain & lay still as Haymitch & Camille removes each & every one of the bugs. One by one. Katniss looks at him "I'm here. Baby I'm not going anywhere. Sweat breaks out on his upper lip, his breathing becomes labored to keep in control as he grips her hand tighter.
The reason why they implanted these in you Cato was you were meant to quell the rebellion by finding someone. You found them in the arena. The reason why the train happened was because Snow thinks you completed your mission in the arena. This is why I want payback. Snow tried to kill you & our child. That I won't allow."
Katniss looks at her mother, "How many more Mom. He can't take much more?" as she holds his hand.
M. Everdeen: "After this one, just the one in his ear is left. Brutus please do me a favor. When you go after the "Uncle" let me give you something to make the pain worse for him." Soon all of them were removed & Cato looked at a very concerned wife and said "Never felt better." Mrs. Everdeen looked at Cato said: "Sit up slowly. Ok how do you feel?" Cato noticing for the first time in 5 years there's no buzzing in his left ear. "Pretty Good Mrs. Everdeen. Thanks"
M. Everdeen: " Okay then you're done get on that Hover Craft & go. Be Careful. Both of you."
As soon as the couple left, Camille looked at Brutus, "He had over 27 of those devices in him Brutus why?" Brutus replied "Probably because they're only good for a short time. Until this last time before he went into the arena. The one that they put in his ear to replace the first one. That was one they fed Cato that crap that got Katniss raped in the cave. For that Camille, I am so sorry. Katniss didn't deserve that." Camille replied "They're going to be fine Brutus. Both of them are now the face of the rebellion. They are the power couple that Snow should be afraid of. Especially since Katniss is pissed."
In route to the Lodge: Blind-sided
In the Cockpit of the hovercraft, Katniss starts explaining what as been going on for years.
The reason why you were chosen was because of your Uncle. He used you to get into the games to find the Mocking Jay. You did sort of. After putting the plane on auto pilot, Cato looked at his wife & listened.
Rue was set to be the Mocking Jay for the rebellion. But when Clove got her, I became the Mocking Jay. Because of what Snow did to us tonight, we became the voice of the rebellion. Snow thought that Rue was the only Mocking Jay. He never thought that there would be a back up or, somebody there to make sure to get them home. In this case, Thresh & Rue.
I was suppose to get them home. That's why the thing with the train. Cato, I know this is hard to take but once you found the Mocking Jay & the Mocking Jay died, you were supposed to be killed off by Clove. Cain's brother has been using you to get Brutus for years. I won't call him Uncle. He's not Cato.
This blew the doors open on everything.
Cato: When Rue died you became the Mocking Jay? You were the back up?
Katniss: Yes. However when I got injured in the fight with Clove (damn hormones), I didn't know that Brutus nor Haymitch would send you to find me. I had to hide & protect the baby at that point but I had passed out before I could get to my kits. When I saw you there, did the best I could to go into fight mode until Haymitch talked on the com-link to say it was a sedative for the stitches I was going to need. Up to that point I thought you were there to hurt the baby & I.
Cato understood why though it still hurt, he knew that I least I was fighting to protect the baby then even, if it was from it's father.
Cato: Why would he want me killed if I was the one to stop the rebellion by finding the Mocking Jay?
Katniss: Because you were the constant reminder that your mother chose his brother Cain over him. You were the son of his chief rivals. Both his rivals. Babe let's get this thing off of auto pilot. We're almost there.
As the hovercraft lands in a cave to be covered by a curtain made of vines, this looks familiar to Cato. Has the couple do a small hike through a tunnel he hears a water from a raging river. Then he sees it. A small cabin under the willows. Cato could see the firelight from the window waiting for their arrival. So the couple arrives to find the cabin fully stocked with a note from the mentors:
Dear newly weds:
Have fun waiting for us to get to you. Remember the first one gotta finish cooking before starting on the second one in the oven.-See you in two to three days H&B
The couple look at each other "it's actually just us." look. At that point 2.5 Victors were a tad tired however Katniss had to ask "Do you want to watch the rest of Snow or, wait until morning?"
They looked at the dvd player then at each other said:"morning". As both dropped their packs off their shoulders, Katniss was still concerned about how her husband will take the extent that his 'uncle' & President Snow played him.
Old lodge-outside of Panem:-anger
Has soon as the door closed the only thought that went through both their minds was 'perfect.' Cato locks the door, Katniss went to go change in the other room. But curiosity got the better of Cato, so while waiting for is bride to come out, he turned on the dvd. He got an eye & earful. All interviews of Mr. Stone (because from here on his uncle is less than nothing to him) with the president showed that he was to be used & discarded like trash. It didn't surprise him what Mr. Stone did, what got him was how he did it.
It then showed how Clove was brought into the mix. She was agent the whole time for the capitol. Clove had show the ear piece that was implanted when he fell the last time visiting the family & supposedly punctured his ear. Telling the two men how this will last longer after implant & how she uses a trigger word to get him to do her bidding. This part hurt him the most because all this time he had her back, she used & betrayed him. It showed Glimmer, Peeta & Clove planning Katniss's rape where Clove bragged her talents on how she could get Cato to do it.
Then it televised Clove using the trigger word & him being in a somewhat cationic state being used by Clove to tie Katniss up in the cave. He didn't remember being this cruel to Katniss. My god he thought she survived that sadistic side of him. He could've killed her & not even realized it. He also realized that this was televised for the world to see. It may have not shown the actual act being performed but it showed Katniss screaming every time. With him rubbing it in how her body betrayed her again & again. That for her pleasure equals pain. Each time he heard that it was like a lash against his heart. Then Clove telling him to hurry up, it's getting late as he just went ahead & basically screwed her without any care that she was a virgin, left her there to die like she was less than nothing.
Cato realized what he had to do to make it right for Katniss. Just then a hand was on his shoulder. Cato stopped the DVD looked up to see Katniss in a black boy short number. Katniss walked over to the door where there was a button near the door frame. Katniss pressed it & the shield was formed on the outside of the cabin.
Katniss stood in front of Cato who is on both of his knees looking up at her his eyes tearing up. It reminded her of another time in the arena but when he spoke his voice trembled.
Cato: " I will never hurt you again like that ever. My God Katniss, I could've killed you & the baby without even knowing it. Baby I will never & I mean never let that happen to you again. Ever."
Katniss: "I told I confronted who I needed to, Peeta because he was the one I couldn't get at & you got to 5 before I could, you mean thing. You needed to see this for a reason, Cato as she cradled his face in her hands. You need to find away to make it right for you. With the exception of Mr. Stone & Snow all others involved are dead back in the arena. What you do Cato is up to you. Now do you want to finish the DVD or, come with me & show me what you meant by "only you."."
Cato gets up from the floor but as he rises up off his knees, he picks her up starts kissing Katniss & carries her into the bedroom. "That's my Cato."
Mean while back in the Capitol:-payback #1
Brutus, Haymitch along with Camille, went to Cid Stone's. Cid was in a foul mood cause is wife finally had enough & left him taking the children with her. Her parting words "I'm not Amanda nor will I ever be her. Quit chasing ghost Cid. Amanda loved Cain not you. Enough is enough you can contact me through my Lawyers now. The children will not be bugged like you did Cato, we're out of here."
Cid heard a knock on the door, as he opens it two punches fly through knocking him to the other end of the hall. Brutus making good on his promise for Cato's suffering had drop by for a chat. When Brutus was finished with him, Cid gladly signed papers changing Cato's name to Malone as it should've been 11 years ago when Brutus got custody of him. Brutus is now Cato's father in every way as it should be. Just before Haymitch took over, Camille walks down to Cid opens his mouth shoves sleep syrup with an 'additive' down his throat. However this additive is one she decides to explain.
Camille: "Good evening Mr. Stone what you have going down your throat is sleep syrup with a bonus so to speak. One that you can't use the cure for without my permission. Because I invented the cure asshole. It's a mixture of Bella Donna, Tambourine Red Vine, love berry juice & just a touch of night lock for a twist. It's designed to amplify pain & done right make you bat shit crazy for the rest of your life. I want to give you a taste of what you allowed to happen to my baby in the arena because of your bugs that you put into Cato. Letting her rape be aired on national television like that. Oh just to let you know the reason & it just business, here's a present for you (as she drops all 33 bugs that were in Cato since the age of 6 onto Cid). These are all Cato's bugs that I removed from him. You will never get near him again. For if you do, I will make sure you'll never see a sunrise, sane ever again." Camille looks over to the two men who's jaws have hit the deck; "Gentlemen I do believe it's your turn now since Lola Lou juice has kicked in. See that's how it's done & I didn't have to break a nail or a sweat. Haymitch isn't it your turn?"
Haymitch:" Why yes it is.(smiles)"
Camille: "Well there you are, we don't have all night." She turns to Brutus: "I only gave him a light dose. Should last about a couple of weeks give or take. Now remember Cato, don't forget to make the pain worse, Haymitch please take me to the car." Haymitch stops turns it over to Brutus saying "we'll be in the car Bru."
Haymitch: "Camille"
Camille: "Yes?"
Haymitch: "Remind never to piss you off. I thought Katniss was bad, hell she can still take notes from you."
Camille: "Who the hell do you think taught her Haymitch?" as she smiles.
For about an 30 minutes Brutus took his revenge on Cid for what he did to Cato. Brutus's parting words to Cid stay away from what is mine. As they drive away Cid Stone starts screaming in pain from the drugs in his system. Brutus looks at Camille Everdeen said "Thank you for Cato." Camille replies "You are very welcome".
The group drive onto the hovercraft area where Effie is waiting there with Primrose. Their bags are already on board when the group arrives so, all they have to do is board & go. Yet something is a miss so while doing their preflight check they remove all the trackers & cameras on board along with disabling the black flight boxes. Then they take off dropping all the trackers and the rest out the window just outside the capitol. They fly off to district 2 for a few toys before going onward outside of Panem.
Cabin-outside Panem-Sugar
After a very long day the newly weds are having their alone time, finally. Cato found out as few things during a make out session with his bride;
1) She has a lot of self control.
2) Has a few hair triggers especially in combinations which are major turn ons.
3) Bluntly honest of turn ons & turn offs. Warning if she saids uh, uh (major turn off for her).
4) She gives it as good as she gets.
Cato wanted this night for Katniss. He wanted her to feel cherished, loved & give her a night that she would never forget. Ever, even when they're old & grey.
Later both were laying on their sides facing each other when Katniss smiled at Cato. As he reached out and pulled her closer to him, starting to gently kiss her & stroke her back as the kiss got passionate. His hands roamed her body and were soon stroking the side of her breasts before they touched the her nipples, which resulted in a gasp from deep inside Katniss's throat. He gently pushed Katniss onto her back, breaking their kiss. Cato moves silently while kissing downward until his lips are worshiping her breast. While allowing a hand to stroke downward Cato's hand went lower again. Katniss adjusted to allow his hand more access for him to explore. She moaned while threading her fingers through his hair while living in this moment. "Oh God don't stop!" Katniss cried out as Cato found a very sweet spot. "I want to make love to you, Katniss," Cato whispered into her ear. Katniss only could nod. Cato guides himself into her & starts a slow pace. She meets him while wrapping her legs around his waist. Soon both need each other more. She said as she knew she was getting close. "Oh God! Don't hold back Cato it's no fun without you." Katniss cried out while arching up. He felt her clamp down on him hard deep inside her as they came together.
Afterwards they both fell asleep knowing that days & night like these are going to be numbered.
Many of the Victors from past games are converging to a meeting place where a event will take place. For the Dark Days are returning & unlike the capitol we have learned from the past to make a better future.
****This wasn't an easy chapter to write. Love scenes are harder to write that I thought. Also I wanted to give Katniss mother a little more backbone. I wanted to make her mother more reason to be feared by the capitol in a nice but subtle way.****
