Chapter 7
KPoV
It was a long ride home. Most of the trip I spent sitting alone in my room. I didn't talk much, nor did I tell anyone what had happened between me and Cato. It shouldn't hurt this much, but I never felt that way for anyone, not even Peeta. I wasn't in love with Peeta, but I cared about him a lot, and I thought he cared about me too. Cato, he was different, he was able to but a genuine smile on my face, something I haven't done much since my father passed. He made me happy. I don't know why I am so upset over the fact that he had a girlfriend, it wasn't like we were together, let alone had feelings for each other. Maybe I had feelings for him, but I'm not sure anymore. I never was.
"Katniss!" I hear a young girl say from behind the crowd of paparazzi trying to get pictures.
"Prim, I'm so glad to see you!" I say shoving the flashing cameras out of my way. I wrap her and my mother up in a huge hug. Over Prims shoulder I see an unhappy Gale. I make a mental note to talk to him about it later, for now I just want to be happy.
We head off to our new house, which, in my opinion, is way too much. White columns surround the front; my closet alone is bigger than our house back in the seam is. It doesn't feel like home to me.
"Katniss, you have a visitor," My mother says in a happy tone of voice that is not hers. President Snow entered the room within seconds, leading me into the office.
"Hello President Snow what an honor," I say putting on the best smile I can manage.
"Katniss, please let's cut to the chase." Snow says looking me in the eye, "I know that the baby was a lie. I also know about the little kiss between you and Mr. Mayvil. Word travels fast in the capital. Now, because of the little stunt you pulled there is talk of a rebellion. Here is how we will put an end to it; you and Cato will be married. Now we do not expect this to happen tomorrow, but it will happen within the next two years. From now on you and Cato will be living together, spending six months in District Two, then the next six months here in Twelve. A year from now I want news of engagement, then a wedding a year after that. Also, a baby will come out of this, and this time, you will not be lying. While you are in District Two, your mother and Prim will be staying here. For the half of the year that you spend here, your family will be relocated to a different house in the victors village, so that you and Cato can have your alone time, same will go for his family. In four days you will be leaving for District Two. And when you arrive, you and Cato shall begin your relationship. Do we have an understanding Miss. Everdeen?"
I nod my head, unable to get anything to come out of my mouth. We say goodbye and he leaves.
