A/N: I am so very sorry about the long chapter wait. I lost all my confidence when I read this other fan fiction. I did get all your reveiws though and I tried to put most of them in this chapter as I had this awesome idea for the next chapter. So pretty please Reveiw!
Snows POV
I smile to myself as I leave Clove and Cato to live a horrible life. I walk silently and unnoticed back to my office and begin to watch the games again. "Oh how I love you Savannah" I say and let out the evilest laugh I could.
It's now been two hours since I left Cato and Clove and the doctor walks in. I glance up at him slightly. "What do you want Doctor? I am busy" I say and spin my chair so my back is towards him. "I came to report to you about the procedure." I sigh rest my head in my heads. "I trust it was a success and that they knew nothing of it." I say harshly to him, and then I hear his feet shuffle. "Not exactly President. I did not do it to them. I could not, they were very happy and I could not ruin it for them"
I listen to him carefully, its sound rehearsed and I feel my anger flame. Who doesn't do something that could cost them their life? I question myself. "That was not the mission and task Doctor" I slowly spin my chair towards him. "I have another idea" I lie and glare at him. He Is going to live in fear.
Since I heard of the doctor's mistake, I have decided not to execute him as he is helpful in my next plan.
Make everyone believe Cato is not father. I smile to myself at the ingenious plan but the only problem is that they haven't left their apartment in three days. I can't get in there, no one can, they have it blocked up pretty well. I am also beginning to wonder how they are going to keep their tributes alive, and how they are even still sending the many parachutes they are getting.
They are up to something
CLOVES POV
I look at Cato's shocked face. "Cato, he has hurt us to many times to be killed by a randomly selected person." I stand up and walked over to the elevator. "I'm going back to help them." I push the button and the doors open instantly revealing a peacekeeper.
"CLOVE!" I hear Cato shout and he starts running for me. I am in too much shock to move and I feel Cato tackle me to the ground and I land square on my stomach. I freeze where I am and roll onto my back. Oh no! I say to myself and tear up. Through my tears I see Cato fighting the peacekeepers whilst still watching me out of the corner of his eyes.
I can't help it the tears spill out of my eyes and I drag myself so I can lean against the wall. Cato is at my side instantly, well as soon as he shoved the bodies back into the elevator. "Clove, honey, it will be fine." Just as he finished speaking I broke into a sob into his shoulder. "It's gone. I landed on my stomach and squished it to death. I'm a murderer of innocent infants!" I lean into Cato's body and he squeezes my body to his.
"It might not be dead yet." He offered helplessly but the word dead makes me sob harder. "Cato, the amount of pressure I put on it, would have been it was gone before I even realised it" I say in between sobs and sniffles. "Be confident that it is still alive or have you already given up?" He asked pulling my head to face him. I shrug and rest my forehead against his. "I love you" we whisper at the same time, causing each other to smile.
"Come on, we should probably watch the games for a little bit" He says and stands up, picking me up in the bridal way causing me to laugh and temporarily forgetting about losing the baby. He sat on the lounge with me still on his lap and turned on the TV, just in time for the dead tributes faces to be shown.
I watched as over 10 faces appeared and then Savannah's face. I stopped breathing and stared at the screen. She is gone. I look up at Cato and see him studying my face. "Are you ok?" he asked carefully. I smiled and nodded leaning my head on his chest. "I'm glad she is gone, I didn't like her after she told my secret" I sighed and looked up at him. "I'm glad she said it, or I wouldn't have known" Cato kept looking straight ahead as he spoke to me.
We stayed like that for at least five more minutes with me drawing little circles on Cato's chest. "I've missed these moments" He sighed and twirled my hair around his finger. "Where it's just you and me and no one is bothering us" I smiled at him continued drawing shapes on his chest. "Do you remember when we first got married?" I asked looking up at him slightly and he nodded. "And how we never let each other out of our sights?" He chuckles and nods. "I loved that. You were always around and looking at me." My eyes fill with tears again.
"I loved it when we walked around just in towels for a while, I had every free rein to check you out" He confessed blushing, making me laugh and a few tears slipping. He wiped my tears and kissed my nose. I smiled and continued my point, "I want this to be exactly like that. Even if we are locked in this apartment I want to make the most of it." I sniffled and smiled at him. He nodded and kissed me lightly and looked in my eyes. "I would love that heaps" he whispered and smiled evilly at her.
"Cato what are you thinking?" I asked, carefully and slowly getting off his lap but I was too slow. He pulled me on his lap and began to tickle me. I squirmed and flung my legs in an attempt to get free "Cato! Stop" I said in between laughs "It's hurting my stomach muscles!"
That was a big mistake. He started to tickle me more and laughing more himself. I managed after five minutes to get him back. I pinned him down and sat on his stomach. "You, sir, don't play fair." I say and stick my tongue out at him then laugh. "Come on Clove, let me up now." He half wines to me. "No way, you're under my power now!" I say and let out an evil laugh followed by a fit of giggles when he groaned.
"Come on, Clove, we have a job to be doing." He said seriously. I fell for it and got of him, to a standing position. "Cato, who is sending them parachutes? It's not me and it's-"- I was cut off by him pulling me to the couch and attack me again from tickling me.
Only this time I got out of it easier. I screamed at the top of my lungs, causing him to jump back with a horrified look on his face. "Don't do that again" he said. I glared at him and he got the point, I wasn't happy. Ever so slowly he moved towards me, and carefully putting his arm around my waist. "Cato, I want to go home, as much as this is fun I want to be at home." I said leaning on his shoulder "How about, we take the next train out of here?" He suggest. "But what about Scar? We still need to keep him alive and Savannahs replacement" I say looking up at him. "Clove. They do not deserve to win. They are a bunch of ratty teenagers." He says in a very demanding voice which scared me. "Encase you have forgotten, we are only nineteen and seventeen." I point out angrily. "I am younger them most of the tributes out there!" I say and sit up straight. "But you are more mature then them Clove." He retorts.
I narrow my eyes at him and stand up. "They still deserve to live a normal life like we do. No matter how messed up we are!" I scream at him and break down in tears. "It's all right Clove, the games will be over in about ten minutes, we have three hovercrafts loaded up, they are each going to pick the remaining tributes up and take them to safety." I take a deep breath and look at him "Really? What about us? Aren't we taking the next train home?" I ask confused. He was the one suggesting we take the next train home and now telling me that the games are going to end in less than ten minutes.
"No, I was just saying that because I am not allowed to tell you these things. The new president thinks you are going to blab them about." I looked at him shocked.
They already had a new president! They still have to take down the current one. I pointed out to myself. "We better watch the games then, I guess" I say and sit back down next to him and turned the TV on. "I'm sorry for my anger snap" I whisper to him and get a squeeze around her waist in return. "It's not your fault" he says and the games finally come one. I can't help and sit there and smile about how lucky I am.
It was exactly how they had planned it, according to Cato and a soon Haymitch who came bursting into our apartment to come and get us. He was blubbering on about how they got all of the tributes out and that all he needed to do was get us. He seemed over the moon, which scared me.
We were herded into the elevator by him and I was clutching to Cato like he was the only thing keeping me alive. He must have realised because he managed to give me a kiss when we got in which settled my nerves. AS the elevator opened up I realised I wasn't on the bottom floor but on the roof. I smiled to myself despite Cato pushing me onto the hanging ladder. This was the place of my first kiss, my first relationship.
I was on the ladder and when I got up I searched for Scar amongst the tributes. He wasn't there, I searched everywhere for him. I turned around as Cato got in the hovercraft "Where is Scar?" I ask him in a panic. He searched all the tributes as well and couldn't find him either. We turn to each other and have the same expression across out face, worry.
Cato decided to take the leader and stands on a chair. "Okay tributes, I am aware that you have no idea what is going but please trust us, we will get you to safety before you know it." He looks at me and I give him a nod to continue "I would also like to know if any of you have seen Scar? From district two? If so please tell me now" We barely waited a second when a little girl's voice spoke up. "He locked himself in the bathroom." She muttered and stuttered out. I give her a smile as a thank you and walk as calmly as I can to the bathroom with Cato in toe. "Scar, its Clove can you open the door?" I ask with a slight knock on the door. We don't hear anything and the door doesn't open so I look at Cato. "Come on Scar, open up, we have to talk to you." Cato tries but still nothing. We look at each other and then I take a step back.
I smile as I see Cato kick the door down. When he moves away I see that Scar is staring at the wall, not even moving. I push Cato back and crouch down in front of him, making his eyes lock onto mine. "You are safe now alright. You will never have to go through that again, I promise" I say in my most comforting voice, considering I didn't do it very often. I was about to get up when he moved but in the wrong way.
He was kissing me! I tried to push him away but he had his hands on the back of my head. I didn't even close my eyes, or kiss him back; I just looked at Cato for help. He was standing in the door way with his eyes steaming. I was only just able to process him walking towards Scar with his fists clenched.
This is going to get bad before it gets better. I say to myself just as Scar is put in a throat hold against the wall. I stand up my eyes fill with tears. "Don't do that again!" Cato screams at him. "I have already warned you once and you are lucky I am not going to kill you right here." I could see his chest growing and shrinking so I slide out of the enclosed space and sat on the floor. I buried my head in my hands and felt the tears flowing down my cheeks.
I hear Cato walk up to me and sit next to me, pulling em into a bone crushing hug. "It's alright Clove, he won't do it again." I smile to myself and lean onto him still crying. "I didn't kiss him back Cato, I swear" I say worried of the outcomes would be if I didn't say it. I feel loads better when I hear him chuckle and squeeze my tight to him. "I know, you wouldn't do that to me and I wouldn't let you do" he said and I couldn't help but smile.
He knew me so well.
