I know! I said the 5th! I am in Hawaii till the 4th, but was able to use the hotel computer to publish this short Part 2. Enjoy! And thanks for all the reviews! Also: Please DO NOT feel bad to criticize! Quite contrary, PLEASE criticize! It helps me write more efficiently. I would alos like a Beta reader; PM me if you want the job. This will be marked as chapter 7, b/c if I put 6, everything will be more messed up.

KATNISS POV
I duck instinctively as I see the knife whizz by. It lands with a thud on the spear dummy. Shock turns to anger as I sit back up to see Cato tackling Clove.
"What the hell?" I say to no one in particular. Marvel answers. "Clove threw a knife at you, and then Cato jumped her." I walk towards the two of them on
the floor and say "Get up you two!" Cato immediately releases his grip on Clove's neck. Yikes. He stands up brushing his pants off and walks towards
Marvel and I. "are you ok?" he asks nervously. I'm shocked. Since when did Cato, king of careers, care about my well-being? "Fine." I respond and walk
past him to Clove. "What the heck was that about? You could have killed me!" I shout furious at her. She stands up and looks embarrassed. "I was aiming
at Cato." She said quietly. "sorry". It takes a moment for that information to sink in. Marvel is the first one to voice it. "You missed!" He shouts loudly.
"Omigod! OMigod! I thought I'd never live to see you miss." He continues on happy at her failure. I look to see Clove's eyes downcast. "Hey, everyone
misses once in a while." I say trying to play peacemaker. She nods and sits down next to me on the padded floor. Cato clears his throat and takes charge.
"Alright, Glimmer obviously isn't coming so let's start." He says pulling a sheet of paper out of his pocket. He walks to a table near the fire-starting station.
We all follow him, and sit down around the table. Cato spreads the paper on the table. It's just a blank piece of paper. "Okay, so we know the cornucopia
will be in the center," he says drawing with a pen on the paper a circle. "This" he says gesturing with his finger to the circle. "Is where we need to go. No
questions asked." I glance around to see Clove and Marvel nodding. "Anyone know what the arena's gonna be?" Marvel asks.
"Nope." Cato says
Clove shakes her head. A thought hits me. "Guys," I say pause, choosing me words carefully. "Since the Quell is going to be next year, won't this arena be more basic? I mean they have been working for 3 years on the Quell arena, I doubt they have much time for this one." Marvel and Clove ponder it
thoughtfully. Cato answers first. "So, what you're saying is it will be a forest?" He asks uncertainty. "Yeah." I reply. "That does make sense." Cato admits.
"Okay so let's assume it's a forest." I say taking the pen out of Cato's hand. "After taking the cornucopia, we need to find water, and familiarize ourselves
with the forest." I draw a little forest and hand Cato the pen back. "Sounds good to me." Cato says with authority and picks up the paper. He walks away
and opens the training doors. "Get some sleep guys. "Tomorrow is the private sessions. Oh, 8 and up. Or you're out." He says with a smirk and closes the
door. Marvel says something about Glimmer and leaves. Clove and I talk a little and I admit to her that I wish Peeta could be in the Pack. "I mean, he
saved my life. I know he won't win, but at least he should have a little hope before he dies." I say with a sad look. Clove nods. "I'll take to Cato about it. No
promises though." She says with a smile and leaves. I head back to the 12th floor and head to my room. I open my door. "Where have you been Katniss?" a
male voice says.
