"Glimmer. Glimmer." Cato shook Glimmer awake as nicely as he could.

It was three in the morning and Cato didn't expect Glimmer to be fired up and ready to go. She groaned in dissatisfaction and rolled away from his touch. Cato tried again and this time Glimmer pushed his face away. He couldn't help but laugh and then hoisted Glimmer over his shoulder.

"Cato." She whined.

"Shh." Cato patted her ass lightly as he walked down the stairs.

"Where are we going?"

"I'm taking you somewhere safe."

Now Glimmer was squirming and getting her feet. "What?"

"I know my dad said it was stupid, but I'm taking you to the forest and we're going to be safe."

"Cato that's dangerous. For us and the baby."

"We can do it, trust me."

"I won't take chances with my baby's life."

"But you're taking a chance staying here."

"Yeah, but-."

"No buts, we're going." Cato picked up all the bags except one he gave to Glimmer and then led her out to the woods, never releasing her hand.

Glimmer had argued with Cato the whole way to the forest, but he always asked what she wanted to do, and she had no answer. She knew she wanted to be with him, wanted to have him to take care of her. He had found a little crater in the side of a rock wall. There were bushes blocking the entrance and no one would ever look for them here. They weren't next to water and there weren't many places for animals to live or plants for them to eat.

Cato had a tent and other camping items from when he would go camping with his father. Glimmer clutched her jacket together to keep the cold wind out and the warmth of her body heat in. By the time Cato had the tent up Glimmer was almost frozen to the bone. He went over to her and held her close to him as he brought her into the shelter.

They had layed three blankets down on the floor. One was for them to lie down on so they didn't have to sleep on the cold, hard ground under the thin tent fabric. The others, which were both a little lighter than the bottom one was for them to cuddle underneath. Some nights were warm, but others were too cold to stand. Cato played it safe and brought as many blankets he could. They were already at risk by just being in the wilderness, might as well try to make it as safe as he could.

Glimmer immediately curled up in a ball under the covers. Cato crawled under with her and pulled her flush against her body, letting his heat mix with hers. Glimmer sighed when he held her, but stayed stiff the whole night.

In the morning Cato had, without waking her, bundled Glimmer up in all the blankets before he went out to hunt for some food. They had brought food, but it was for Glimmer and her cravings. Besides Cato liked the taste a fresh meet, and he remembered how meat from deer and other animals in the woods gave people more energy than the processed food. It's what made all the predators the strength, size, and energy to kill. If Cato wanted to survive with Glimmer and their baby, he'd have to be strong.

When he came back through the forest, with two dead rabbits and a squirrel, he saw Glimmer had a fire going. He set the dead animals down in the sticks and leaves as he approached her from behind. Cato hugged her as soon as she stood up and kissed the back of her neck. He breathed in the scent of her hair all frizzy and soft. She had showered last night before they left and he could still smell the vanilla honey shampoo in her golden locks.

"So, did you get anything good?"

"Yeah, but we have delicious, rich food for you." Cato smiled and went to one of the packs to gather some food.

"What if I said I was craving one of those fat rabbits you just killed?"

"I would say you could have a little, but for the most part you should eat healthy, clean food." Cato smiled, bringing her a few of her favorites and started to get a rabbit ready to cook.

Glimmer watched him with a smile on her face. The fire grew until Cato has speared the meat and was roasting in the flames. Glimmer watched the flames of fire flicker and move around the meat. She thought about how this was her home and all the homes she knew. For a while it was District 1, then the training center at school and in the Capitol, then the arena for the games, back to District 1, and before District 2, and now it was the woods. She wondered if there would ever be one place to call her home.

"What are you thinking about?" Cato turned to her.

"About my home, about my family."

"I see."

"You know my birthday is coming up in two months." Glimmer smiled.

"What do you want?" Cato checked on the meat.

"I want a French Silk Pie." Glimmer grinned.

Cato had heard about that pie. No one had ever been able to afford it, but it was real popular in the Capitol so a lot of times District 1 and 2 had bakers that made them and stores that sold them. That's because when Capitol people came to visit they would make lots of money. Cato had always wanted to taste it, but it didn't seem worth the price.

"Anything else?" Cato asked, in case he couldn't get the pie he could buy her something else.

"Nope, I only want that pie."

"Why?"

"I had tried a bite the first day I got on the train. I had eaten at least one every day. I thought putting on some pounds would be good, but I mostly did it because it was too good to resist. Remember how after your little stunt in in the forest I got a gift?"

"Yeah?"

"It was a French Silk Pie."

"Right, I was in too much pain and couldn't stand the sight of the rich food. I let you eat it all."

"Yeah, I had been craving that the most of anything."

"Well, I guess you know what you want." Cato smirked and handed her the stick with her rabbit on it. "But what if I can't get it? They're pretty expensive."

"Then surprise me." Glimmer shrugged and took her stick of food.
