Cato POV:
The Games are starting take a toll on Peeta. What I'm thinking she can hand herself. She was train by Brutus; our own District Two Champion. She shouldn't have single problem the only thing she has worry about his Caesar and there is no doubt in my mind that will be close battle. Right know Clove is practicing her throwing knives, Marvel is working with spears and no doubt he was still fuming over how Peeta easily defeating him. I swore I heard him say "that fucking slave girl or stupid Snow girl" I'm not really sure, and there is Glimmer who is giving me eye instead working. All I could do is to ignore her. Then doors open everyone stop and stared at who just enter and I wasn't surprise to see Peeta walking in with stoic expression. What did surprise me is that she was walking towards the camouflage station.
I took a break from my station and head towards her station.
"Can I help you, Master?" Peeta ask without missing beat.
"I'm just making sure you're doing okay. You are still part of my property." I stated as I play around with the brushes.
"I'm doing fine." Peeta reply as she did the last few touch ups on her arm. Once she was finish she compare her arm with tree bark. I was stun how it turns out to be.
"I recommend stop starting at me or my ass, because I think one of your admires is giving death glares." Peeta stated with smirk as I turn seeing Glimmer going back to work, but showing more of her true talent.
I bend over the table and whisper into Peeta's ear "I think shouldn't be worry over Glimmer." I can feel the heat that is rushing to Peeta's face. I left her station with that on her mind as I return when I return I notice my knife was missing and I had feeling that District Three boy has it.
I walk over to him and start a small conversation "Listen here, Three that knife that you have is only for the big boys and not you." He gave me confuse look.
"I don't have your knife." Three stated in a confusion tone.
"DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO ME AND GIVE BACK MY DAMN KNIFE!" I shouted as I try reaching towards him couple of the Peacekeepers hold me back. "YOU'RE DEAD ONCE WE GET IN THE AREAN!"
Peeta POV:
"YOU'RE DEAD ONCE WE GET IN THE AREAN!" that threat made me snap back to reality; I race over to Cato.
"I'll take over here boys." I stated as I grab hold of Cato's arm; pulling him to the side.
"Cato, look me in the eyes." I demand as I hold his face in my hands forcing him to look at me. It took him a couple minutes but he did cold down.
"I think we need a break." I said in a whisper tone but enough for him to hear. He just took a quick glance at me and starts head out towards entrance of the training center.
"Nice job Cato almost getting yourself disqualified on the first day of training." Lady Ray stated as she walk behind us.
"He had it coming he stolen what was my mine. I can't forgive him and if it was…never mind." Master stop dead in his sentence making me think.
"What do you mean never mind?" I ask as we made to our floor.
"It's nothing, Peeta. Just drop it we need think about the upcoming Games." Master stated in harsh tone. I was took back he never use the tone voice with me.
"Sorry, Master" I stated as I keep quiet. I follow right behind him in quiet. We step inside to our floor with Brutus was waiting for us.
"How was training?" Brutus asks as he walks to the kitchen table. I keep quiet and wait for Master commends to speak.
"Cato got in fight and took a couple of Peacekeeper and Peeta." Lady Ray stated as she head to her room.
"Is this true, Peeta?" Brutus asks as his eyes lock on to mine. I just nod waiting for his punishment.
"Well Peeta you do know rules. I'll see you the training center bright and early and with empty stomach. If you want simulate what will be like in the area." Brutus said in harsh tone. I just nod and wait for Master saying I'm dismiss.
"Wait, why should Peeta go to bed without eating?" Master asks as he took his seat at kitchen table.
"She knows the rules when her name was entering as apprentice. The rules for apprentice are different to those who are tributes." Brutus stated in stern voice keeping his stoic expression on.
"What are these rules?" Master asks in curious tone.
"For one they need protect their tributes until the very end, and if they both die the apprentice still has chance to win the Games without them. Second they are scored higher than the tributes since they have been training from age five; since Peeta didn't come to apprenticeship until she was eight and since then she been working twice as hard since than most apprentice here. The last reason why I shorten her meals is that when she enters the arena there will be no food or water. So she will be surviving off the nature whatever the Gamemaker decide on and since Seneca Crane is the years Head Gamemaker things will being interesting. That's main rules for the apprentice." Brutus said "Peeta will you be a dear and get your mentor a glass of water."
I nod and went to get glass water for Brutus. "Master, do you wish glass water too?" I ask as head into the kitchen.
"That will be great, Peeta." Master stated.
"Wait, how does Peeta get her weapon early in the games?" Master asks as I hand him glass of water along with Brutus.
"The reason behind that is that they were gifted from the Capitol. The way a child is picking to be apprentice is through tragic state and survives for example Peeta and her near death experience she was supposed to be District Twelve but since you found her, Peeta become District Two apprentice and District Two apprentice became District Twelve apprentice." Brutus explain and to me this all new information.
"Peeta, please meet me in my room now." Master command as he got up from his seat I follow right behind him. Once we got in his room he sat down on the bed while I just stand waiting for his next command.
"Peeta, come over here." Master order I didn't argue with his request. I walk up to him, what surprise me more is that he pulls me down on his lap.
Normal POV:
"Why did you become apprentice, Peeta?" Cato asks as he buries his face in Peeta hair.
"I already told, Master. I want to protect you and make sure you win this year's Games. Even if it means I'll be losing my life." Peeta said with sad tone but with poker face and avoiding Cato cold stare.
"Peeta, look me in the eyes." Cato stated as he forces Peeta to look at him "We will get out this together."
Peeta can feel Cato's hot breath on her face as their blue eyes clashing against one another. Cato lean down press his lips on to hers lips
AN: I hope you like this chapter and I'll being working on Monster soon, and remember to review please it mean a lot me. I'm sorry for this lack of affection that is going on between Peeta and Cato.
