Cloves's POV
After seeing Cato go and have a little "chat" time with Katniss, I felt something click in my head. I couldn't quite remember much, but stuff started shifting and everything started to become uncovered. I started to remember my family, training, and other things from District Two, like my best friend. Nothing from the games quite yet. I'm thankful for that, I don't want to realize that I have poor, innocent children's blood on my hands.
"Clove, you alright? You seem lost, and by the way, stop scowling at Cato and Katniss..." Peeta said into my ear, making me jump slightly.
"I'm fine, just thinking. I'm starting to remember things, but I want to keep the games covered." I replied.
"Don't be afraid to find out who you are, if it all works out right, you'll be the same person with distant memories."
"I hope so, I couldn't stand finding out I killed so many kids."
"As long as you keep saying you didn't for now, then hold on to that. Unfortunately, you did. I'm sorry to inform you of that."
"I know I did, I can feel that I did, I just don't want to believe it."
"Yeah, I know how you feel."
"Really? Who did you kill?"
"Girl from District Five, picked some Nightlock, and she came across it and ate it."
"That's an accident, the old me did it on purpose."
"Clove, its my fault she found those berries, and it will forever be on my conscious."
"But, it doesn't have to be, I mean, your the nicest person I've meet since my whole 'coming back to life' thing. So, I don't want you to stress over it. I think of you as a friend, considering you helped me, and I want you to feel better over that problem."
"Not the problem I was worried about."
I looked over to see Cato and Katniss having a "session." It made me want to hurl, but the fact that Peeta probably loves her, it must be breaking his heart. I was very short, but still, I threw a arm around him, mostly around his lower torso, I couldn't reach much more then that, so I could let him know, he's not alone. Gave me a warm smile, and I returned it.
Katniss's POV
I felt kind of bad, I mean, I was making out with Cato right in front of Peeta. We could have done this in private, but I guess Cato wanted to show Peeta to back off. When we separated, I was gasping for air. Unlike Peeta, Cato was rough. He liked it passionate, while Peeta liked it gentle.
"Ceasar, are the cameras off?" Cato looked over at Ceasar, who seems to not know what to do.
"Yes, they are. When you decide to leave, you may." Ceasar says with a huge Capitol smile.
"Alright, lets go." Cato takes my arm and we head out.
I hear Clove and Peeta behind us. So I stop and wait for them to catch up.
"That was...graphic big bro." Clove snickers at Cato.
"Hey, its not that bad, you don't even remember what we did together." Cato laughs.
"I'm just going to take a guess and say you guys played with swords!" Peeta looks away not wanting to hear what they had to say, he was trying to keep it appropriate.
"Yeah, yeah, of course." Cato rolls his eyes at me.
"I'm sure it had to do with a sword...Just not the metal kind." I laughed.
"Got that right." Cato wrapped his arm around me.
"Oh, ew." Clove looks at him with horror. "Does that mean...We had..."
"Don't say it!" Peeta laughed.
"I was going to say, We had to watch Cato and someone else from the Career group go at it." Clove rolls her eyes.
"Oh yeah, totally. We did that on screen. No, Clove, I mean in my room before the games." Cato chuckles at her.
"Oh ew, were we playing truth or dare?"
"Totally."
"Was there a camera?"
"Have it in my pocket."
"Ooooh, can I see?"
"Clove! Of course not!"
"Come on dad what's the harm? I'm not a baby, I want to see."
"Why? You pervert."
"Says the boy who took the pictures."
Cato laughed. "I wasn't the one who took them. You did!"
Peeta and I started laughing. Cato had a smirk on his face, and Clove turned bright red, not out of embarrassment, but because Cato actually got a point on her.
"Okay, lets stop talking about these pictures." I gasped out after laughing so hard.
"Yeah, lets do that." Peeta agreed.
"Yeah..." Clove turned away from us.
The silence was long and uncomfortable. I didn't exactly know what to do, I mean, I wasn't the best with words so I assumed someone else would handle it.
"So, who was the lucky girl?" Clove picked at her shirt.
"Who said it was a girl?" Cato shot back.
"Cato! Don't go transgender on me yet!" I giggled.
"Fine, fine, it was a girl. It was Glimmer." I shot him a death stare. "Katniss, it was a dare, and it was Clove's dare too."
"Agh, why is everything my fault!" Clove groaned.
"Stop groaning, memories are returning." Cato held his hand up to his head.
"Cato! Stop!" Peeta and I laughed.
"Fine, fine." He held his hands up in surrender.
I kissed his cheek. "Your nasty, you know that?"
"Hey, your the one kissing me." He kissed my cheek.
"Hey, you two, get a room!" Clove laughed.
Cato groaned. I laughed.
"I'll get the camera!" Clove ran off to her floor. Then came running back. "Wait, where is it?"
"How should I know? Go look in your room!" Cato pointed toward the elevator.
"I'll go with her." Peeta suggested.
"Fine, fine. I don't think you want to see what Katniss and I are going to do."
"I don't. Thanks for the heads up!" Peeta yelled through the elevators closing doors.
"Hmm, maybe I don't want to know either." I closed my eyes.
I felt Cato's arm guide me somewhere, but I kept my eyes close. I don't know what he was thinking, but he put his hand over my eyes. I heard a ding, and suddenly everything was going up. When the doors opened, I felt the air hit my face, I welcomed it. It felt amazing considering with my eyes closed it reminds me of home. The roof. This was the spot where I apologized to Peeta after the interviews. Although I was happy to be with Cato, my heart ached with my loss of Peeta. Why does this have to hurt so badly? It will eventually stop hurting, I hope.
"Can I look now?" I gently place my hands on top of Cato's.
"Sure." He lifts off his hand.
"Its beautiful up here." I smile.
"Its better to just relax, much better then being in that stuffed space." He leans down to kiss me, and I meet him half way.
Click.
"Aha, caught you guys!" Clove laughs.
I look over to see Peeta looking sheepishly at us with his arm in his hair.
"Sorry." Peeta gives a shy smile.
"Not like you were interrupting anything." Cato growls.
I put my hand on his arm to calm him down. "They weren't. They were just lucky they didn't see us get it on." I winked at Clove, who immediately starts to blush.
I see Clove look at the camera scrolling through it, but the next thing surprises me. All of a sudden, she went from calm to confused to shocked. She dropped the camera. I saw it all in slow-motion. The camera fell from her hands, crashing with a shocking crash. The glass flew everywhere, the body of it crumbled apart and chips and pieces landed around. The camera itself bounced twice before landing on its side. Clove looked up at us, tears streaming down her eyes. Her mouth opened and she screeched. Peeta rushed in slow sure steps to her side to try and comfort her. I was stuck in place. Then everything came back to reality, and Cato and I ran to her.
"What was on the camera?" Peeta asked gently.
"Th-they t-took p-p-pictures o-of the g-g-games. A-a-and o-oth-her st-stuff." Clove stuttered. She was close to sobbing again.
"Clove, what exactly was on it?" I looked at her sadly.
She bent down and picked up a microchip and handed it to me.
"I-I k-k-knew i-it w-wo-wouldn't h-have b-been d-d-damaged." She gave us a shaky smile.
"Lets go see what's on it, Peeta bring her to her room to calm her down. Then come meet us. We'll wait for you." Cato said taking my hand.
My hand was in a fist with the microchip.
"Katniss, come on." Cato cooed to me.
I followed him numbly to the elevator and into our floor. We waited sometime for Peeta, and I still was shocked.
"Alright, lets take a look." Peeta got straight to the point when he stepped off the elevator.
We had found another camera, and put the microchip in. It shocked me, what we saw, I couldn't say it shocked the others. They probably saw it coming, but why would anyone take these pictures?
