HELLO! What's up? THANKS A LOT FOR 18 FAVORITE STORIES, 14 STORY ALETRS AND 13 REVIEWS! IT TRULLY MEANS A LOT TO ME! I LOVE YOU ALL! LOL… WELL WITH NO MORE TO SAY, HERE, I HAVE… CHAPTER 7!
"We are going hunting?" asks Cato exited. I nod. He grins. We are quiet during Five hours, or so. But we already have a good catch.
Six squirrels, five rabbits, and seven wild turkeys, with a bag filled with greens.
"What do you think about the Rebellion thing?" he asks. "I do not want to go, but I need to. I am the face of the rebellion, after all." I say.
"What? I didn't know you were the face of the rebellion. I know you were an important rebel, but not with such a status." He says
"Oh. What else don't you know?" I ask "Well, I didn't know what the Quarter Quell was; also, what happened on the victory tour, how you became a rebel, what happened after I died, and why most of the Victors are dead."He says.
"Oh, um… I think that, um… well, maybe… or you can…" I mumble "Katniss, are you okay?" He asks me, a little worried "Yes, I'm sorry, the thing is, that… um, during that time, a lot of things happened, but… I, um... remembering them, am… hurts a lot." I mumble, starting to remember everything.
"Katniss…" he says and hugs me tight. "I am sorry" he says kissing the top of my head. "Don't worry; I have an idea, though. I have made diaries during that time. They are three, you can read them if you want. I can give them to you when we get to the house." I tell him.
"For sure, Kat." He tells me. "Can we get going Katniss? We already shot a lot." He says. And he is right. "Sure, lets go" I say and start going to the fence. We start walking, his hand in my waist, me carrying the weapons and he the game.
When we get into the town, we give away the game, saving for us, for Haymitch and for Delly.
Maybe I don't like Peeta, but I have a great relationship with Delly. She is a great friend, and gets along perfectly with Cato.
We pass the bakery and I see Delly there. "Cato, can you go ahead to the house? I am going to talk to Delly!" I tell him "For sure, babe" he says, kisses me and leaves. I get Into the bakery and put my hands over Delly`s eyes.
"Guess who!" I say "Katniss!" she exclaims, turning around and giving me a hug "How did you know?" I say, laughing "I recognize your voice!" she says.
We both laugh, "How are you doing, Katniss?" she asks "Great! How are you?" I say "Great thanks! How is Cato? I haven't seen him in a lot of time!" she says
"He is doing great! Hey, are you going to the Capitol for the rebellion thing?" I ask "Oh, yes! We are leaving in a hovercraft tomorrow morning!" she says "I guess we are going together! Cato, Haymitch and I, we are all going together in a hovercraft, too!" I say, and then I see Peeta coming over here from the kitchen, and I decide to leave before I stab him with Cato`s spear.
"I need to leave, I am sorry, Cato might be worried. I will see you tomorrow!" I say. And start going to the door. "Bye Katniss! I will see you tomorrow!" she says and I leave.
I start running to my house, and when I get there I go and take Cato's hand. "Hello to you too!" he says I roll my eyes and start running upstairs. "Where are we going?" he asks "Shut up and follow me!" I say, smiling.
For some reason, I smile a lot when I am with Cato. He is one of the only people that can really make me smile and laugh like this. The other ones are Prim, and Johanna.
It is weird that Johanna can make me laugh, but she is like the big sister I never had. And she is one of my best friends.
We get to the "work out" room, which is the complete last floor of my house, so it is pretty big. I stop in front of the crystal door and open it. It is very dark, so I open all of the curtains.
"Wow!" I hear Cato say "Do you like it?" I ask "Yes! When did you made this!" he asks "A few months after the rebellion. I came here most of the time. The past two months no, though. Because I have been with you; so I decided to show it to you so I can come back." I say.
The place is totally made out of crystal, except for the roof and the wall of that is in front of the porch.
It has a little corridor in front of it in which is the door, and it has a beautiful look of the woods, it has a balcony, and the windows can be opened. But it also has air conditioning, though.
It has all types of work out machines and weapons. From knives to guns. I just have them all here because I wanted to improve my skills with them. And for emergencies.
The only bad thing is that it has a great view of Peeta and Delly`s roof, in which they are most of their free time.
Cato quickly runs to one of the machines and start working out. "I need to give Delly and Haymitch their part of the game; I will probably be back in forty minutes." I tell him he nods.
I go down and take their game, leaving us with one wild turkey, one squirrel, two rabbits and some greens. I go and knock on Delly´s door and she answers. I give her the game and leave.
Then, I go to Haymitch`s house, open the door, preparing myself for the odor, and find it completely clean. I find Haymitch on his couch drinking a glass of… Water?
"Okay, who are you, and where is the real Haymitch?" I ask, leaving the game on his kitchen table, which I find clean, too.
"Relax, sweetheart. Effie is forcing me to do this. She is paying someone to clean my house and take care of me. To make sure I don't take any liquor." He says I laugh.
We keep talking during some time until I realize I have been here for one hour. "Oh, Crap! I need to leave! Cato is going to kill me!" with that storm out of Haymitch`s house and into mine.
I go up and change into workout clothes and rush upstairs. When I open the door, Cato is doing some weights, he is sweating like crazy and his shirt is on the floor.
He gets up when he hears me get in and I can clearly see his abs. "Do you like what you see, Kat?" he says, grinning. I roll my eyes and stat training. We keep like this until six or something like that, and we are both sweating like crazy.
For some odd reason, I also asked for them to make a swimming pool, but in the backyard. And you can go down from some stairs in the balcony.
When I see Peeta coming back from the bakery, I glare at him. "What are you looking at?" Cato asks coming to hug me in a sweaty embrace. When he sees him he also glares at him and kisses me.
I start laughing at Cato and he laughs at me. "Let's go and take a bath. We are both sweaty!" I say he automatically picks me up in bridal style and carries me downstairs.
"I can walk, you know? You should stop carrying me everywhere!" I tell him "NEVER!" he says and laughs. He takes me to the shower and ushers me in, he turns on the cold water and closes the door before leaving. I take off all of my clothes and start showering.
When I get out of the shower, I put on some pajamas and go downstairs. I make some stew with the rabbit and, while it is in the stove, I go to the living room to watch some T.V. After five or so minutes, Cato comes down, and sits by my side.
When I get up, he grabs my hand "Did I did something wrong?" he asks. "No, nothing" I laugh "I am just going to take the stew off the stove." I say and kiss him in the lips.
I go and turn off the stove and pour some stew in two plates. I go back and give Cato a plate before sitting by his side and putting my head on his shoulder.
We eat in silence, until Cato speaks. "What about your diaries?" he asks "Oh! Right!" I say and get up. I put my stew on the coffee table before heading upstairs to my room.
I grab the three diaries from my drawer and rush downstairs. And I give them to Cato.
"You named them?" he asks "Yes, so I can identify them. The first one is the one named The Hunger Games. The second is Catching Fire, and the last is Mockingjay." I say. "Okay" he says.
He grabs the first one and start reading. I just watch T.V. during the rest of the evening.
I start watching a movie, which is about some weird pirates trying to find a Fountain of Youth. It is pretty funny.
I start watching another one, about wizards and witches, and the crazy stuff they do during the year in their first year in a school for wizards.
Then I watch another one, but this one is a parody of some horror movie named "Scream" or something like that.
When it is over, I realize it is 1.30am, and we have to be up and ready tomorrow at 8.30am sharp. "Cato, I think we should go to sleep now, it is too late, and we have to be up at 7.00am tomorrow morning." I say.
"Okay, wait a second; let me finish chapter number 16." He says, while reading. I sigh. "Okay, but hurry up." I tell him. I wait during other five minutes, and I feel that I am falling asleep.
"Done!" say Cato. "Great. Lets go upstairs, I am falling asleep." I say "For sure." He says, and carries me upstairs. At the time my head touches the pillow, I fall asleep, but I manage to catch something Cato says. "I love you" he whispers "I love you, too" I say, and fall asleep on his arms.
I am running through the snow. I can hear her screaming for help. "Prim!" I say "Prim!" I scream that is when I see her "Katniss! Hello!" she says "Prim! No, Prim! Run!" I shout, but it is too late. The bombs already exploded. "PRIM!" I shout she is burning in flames. "No!" I start shouting and screaming, then the whole scene changes.
I am back in the arena; I am being chased by mutts, the mutts of my family, friends and loved ones. I see the mutt with blonde fur and ice blue eyes.
"Cato" I whisper. Then, he gets closer to me; I can feel his breathing in my face. "It is all your fault. My family is dead because of you.
My little brother and sister. My mom and my dad. You killed them. All of it, because you were the face of the rebellion.
You destroyed everything. My friends. My family. My life. You don't deserve to be loved by anybody. Now I see why Peeta left you.
You are selfish. You deserve to suffer." He says.
He is not actually speaking, he is thinking, but I can hear his thoughts.
"Cato…" I say "No." he says and suddenly all of the mutts are over me. I start screaming and crying, begging them to stop.
"Katniss! Hey, it is only a dream, it is alright, you are safe, and you are okay! Don't worry!" Cato says, hugging me, while I cry on his chest. He whispers calming words to me.
After five minutes, I stop sobbing and crying. "Kat, are you okay? You had a nightmare, you were screaming and crying and trashing around." "Yeah, I am okay. Thanks" I say "Want to talk about it?" he asks, stroking my hair.
"No, I am okay, really." I say. "Okay." he says, and kisses me. I give back the kiss, and we stay kissing until my mobile starts to ring. "Damn it! I am kissing my boyfriend at 6.50 am! Who is calling?" I say Cato starts laughing and I pick up the phone.
"What?" I say "Wake up! We are going to have a Big Big day!" says Delly. Right. I forgot I asked Delly to call me ten minutes before seven. "Oh, it is you. I am sorry, I though it was another person. Tanks, Delly. I will see you outside at 8.25, so we can get Haymitch". I say. "Sure! Until then!" she says and hangs up.
"Who was it?" says Cato. "It was Delly, I asked her to wake me up ten minutes before seven. Now, go, pack for three days, and get a shower." I tell Cato, kissing him one more time. "For sure." He says and leaves.
I take a suitcase and put in there three pairs of jeans, some random t-shirts, sweaters, boots, gloves, and underwear. I also put my hairbrush and toothbrush.
Also I pack my work out clothes, because we are staying on the training center, so we can have time to workout. They changed the training area to a gym, but it still has weapons.
I then get a shower and dress up in some jeans and a yellow button-up shirt. I put on little makeup a sweater and yellow tennis. I braid my hair and head downstairs.
Cato is already downstairs, with a little suitcase by his side. I see the clock. 7.59 am. We took too long for getting ready, I realize. We also packed too, though.
Cato turns on the T.V and sits down on the couch. I go and take some apples and fit down on Cato's lap. I give him one apple and he eats it. We stay like this until we finish our apples.
Then Cato turns off the T.V. and lifts me up. He goes out and I almost automatically hug him hard. "I am cold" I say, because I just got out of the shower, so I am wet, and, it isn't snowing, but I guess we are -1 or -2 Cº.
He sits down on the porch couch and sits me down on his lap. He keeps hugging me and I see Delly and Peeta going out from their house with a suitcase each.
"Are you two lovebirds ready?" asks Delly I smile at her, so does Cato "Hello to you two, Delly!" Says Cato the three of us laugh. Peeta just glares at Cato.
"Come on Bread boy, it was you who dropped her! There is nothing to be jealous of!" says Cato. Delly, Cato and I laugh again.
"He is right, Peeta. You were the one who married another person, not her!" says Delly. "We should go get Haymitch." Says Peeta.
"Don't worry, I will get him!" I say, standing up and getting into the house for our things and go out. Then I give them to Cato and I go to Haymitch`s hose and get in.
"Haymitch! Let's go!" I yell "Coming!" he yells back. Two minutes later he comes down with a suitcase. Just in time. I can hear the hovercraft getting closer.
"Lets go, sweetheart." He says opening the door. I follow him out of the house and into the hovercraft. I see Cato is in front of Peeta, who is glaring at him again.
"What? Are you jealous Mellark?" I ask and sit by Cato`s side. He leans down and kisses me. I give him back the kiss, until Effie comes. "Hello, people!" She exclaims.
I rest my head in Cato`s shoulder and he starts reading. "You brought them?" I ask. "Yes, before I finish them, better." He says. I nod. I see he is almost at the end of chapter 17.
I can see he is holding back tears when he finishes it. He finally lets them flow when he is at the half of the 18th chapter.
"What's up, District 2? Are you crying because you realized Katniss will never love you for real?" Asks Peeta. "I can cut you the other leg if you want loverboy" says Cato wiping his tears. That shuts him up.
I don't get why he is crying, until I take the diary and see what is going on. Then I regret it.
At the end of chapter 17, it is the part when Rue dies. When I couldn't save her. Then when I killed Marvel, the boy from District one. I start crying, too. Because I feel guilty.
I cry in Cato`s shoulder. "You are crying, too?" asks Peeta roughly. "Shut the fuck up, Bread boy" I say. And keep sobbing on Cato`s shoulder. He hugs me and strokes my hair. When I stop sobbing he keeps reading.
Suddenly, we stop. "We are going to stop at district seven, we are picking Johanna Mason." Says Effie. And just after that, Johanna gets in. I get up and hug her.
"Hello, Brainless!" says Johanna, hugging me back. "Shit, I missed you a lot" she whispers in my ear. I laugh. "Me too" I say.
She says hello to Peeta and he introduces Delly. She looks at me and I roll my eyes."Gosh, I thought it was you who got married at him and didn't invite me to the wedding!" she says. I laugh. "Well, I will never forget to invite you, brainless." I say.
She sits beside me and I introduce Cato to her. "I thought you were dead" says Johanna when she sees him. "So did I" says Peeta, angrily. "You are just jealous because I stayed with the girl" says Cato, hugging me.
Johanna laughs, and we talk during some time, until we stop again.
"We are now stopping at District four, to pick up the Odair family" says Effie, and Annie gets in with a little boy in her arms and a handsome man by her side.
No. it is not any random guy, it is… Finnick?
FINNICK? Hahahahaha! Finnick is alive! He is alive! What do you think? Long chapter! 3,119 words0.otoo much huh? I am already working on the 8th chapter. Yes, Katniss` diaries are the Hunger Games trilogy. Obviously, the epilogue doesn't exist. Well, tell me what you think? R&R, or PM! It helps me to write faster and more! I love you all!
