Chapter 10

**Cata's POV**

"Now repeat what I just said," Cato said pointing at Marvel.

"Even though I really care for Cata Valentine, I will not kiss her in front of my best friend, her brother and for that sole reason I am still alive," Marvel said holding an ice pack we found in a first aid kit to his jaw.

After the announcement Marvel kissed me of course my brother punch him and since then they've been having a little chat and of course I've been laughing the whole time.

"Ok I'm going to bed night guys," I said getting up and going into the Cornucopia, where we would be sleeping now.

Peeta was sound asleep, I chuckled he was adorable when he slept. I laid down a few feet away and felt myself drifting off.

"Cata wake up," I heard someone say as they shook me awake.

I groaned rolling over trying to get away from whoever was trying to be an asshole. I heard movement and thought I had won. I felt a body brush against mine and an arm wrap around my hip.

"Wake up my lion," Marvel whispered kissing my forehead.

I remember learning about lions in school. They were fierce killers when provoked from what I remember. I cracked my eyes open and looked at Marvel's smiling face.

"A lion?" I asked looking at him.

"You're cool and calm, but you're fierce when you have to be. That and they fight their mate when mating," he said. I shook my head and flicked his forehead making him laugh. "Come on were going back to the little girl we tied up."

Ohh yeah I forgot about that. I groaned and rolled out Marvel's hold. I'm tired of these games, I want out and I want to go home. I pulled my coat back on and put on my sword. When I was up and ready Marvel grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back to him.

"When we get out of here, I'm going to show you how a princess is supost to feel," he whispered, before kissing my lips.

He pulled away and grabbed my hand leading me out of the Cornucopia. Cato was lying in grass taking a nap; he must have had watch again. I could see Peeta by the lake, I assume getting water. I waved letting him know we were leaving and he waved back. I grabbed one of the spears we salvaged and shoved a knife in my belt. After we were ready we back tracked our steps to where we left the small girl.

"KATNISS, KATNISS," we could hear her screaming.

"Rue!" I smirked, so fire girl found her.

I put my finger to my lips telling Marvel to quiet down. We crept our way to them, I could hear them talking, so Katniss had cut her free.

"Let's go," I whispered to Marvel as he nodded.

We jumped out and Marvel threw his spear. I could see everything playing out in front of me. The little girl jumped in front of fire girl as she was shooting an arrow at Marvel. I stopped and jumped shoving Marvel out of the way. I pulled out my knife ready to fight her. She had tears running down her face; the little girl was dead in her arms. I looked over at Marvel he was holding his neck, which was bleeding. I sighed and put my knife away. I got up and went over helping Marvel up. His arm was wrapped around my shoulders as I helped support him.

"Next time 12," I said before turning and helping Marvel back to camp.

"Cata I'm really light headed," Marvel said when we were close to camp.

"We're almost there, then I'll doctor you up and you can make as many remarks as you'd like," I said.

"No Cata, I really think something's wrong," he said in a serious voice.

I looked at him; he was pale and looked sick. I needed to get him back and soon. I heard a cannon go off and looked at Marvel wide eyed, but he was still breathing it must have been the girl, but it scared me. I broke through the tree line and started yelling for Cato and Peeta. Cato came running, Peeta not far behind. Cato took Marvel from me and I could hear Peeta say he could fix it.

"Cat go get water, you don't need to be here right now," Cato said I nodded looking over his shoulder as Peeta prepped him.

I started walking to the lake, I hurt it's weird. I've never felt this before. do I feel something for Marvel. I shook my head; I can't feel anything for him he's a silly boy. I know what love is, but I've only ever felt love for my brother. Is this what that creeping aching feeling in my heart is? I'm not sure, for once I don't know and I'm scared. I looked at my hands they were covered in blood, in Marvel's blood. I reached done and tried washing as much off of my hands as I could. I heard Marvel scream in pain and I stood running back to the Cornucopia. When I got back I saw my brother holding Marvel down, while Peeta sewed the cut. I watched as the cut was sown closed. Marvel passed out, before Peeta cleaned and dressed the wound.

"We have a few bandages left," Peeta said as they moved away.

I sat by his side and looked at him. He was still really pale, not his usual bright self. The cut was at the crook of this neck, I didn't get him out of the way in time. I lifted my two fingers to his cheek.

"You love him," was all Cato said behind.

"My heart hurts Cato."

"I know I feel it, he'll pull through I know he will. Then all four of us are going to walk out of here," Cato said sitting beside me, he looked at Marvel and sighed. "We're going to have to move camp though. With him in this condition in the open, we're all targets."

After Cato said that we got up and started packing our remaining things into our backpacks. We didn't have much since the explosion. I grabbed the four backpacks, while Peeta and Cato easily moved Marvel. We moved to the woods that border the lake that way we had everything that we needed. We had one sleeping bag that we easily maneuvered Marvel into. The sky was started to fade to night.

"Cat get some sleep," Cato said.

"No I'm fine, you two can go," I said.

"Here take these at least, that way you can see," Cato said handing one of the pair of night vision goggles.

I nodded, before I pushed my fingers to his cheek. He smiled at me returning the gesture.

It had been a few hours; I was running my hand through Marvel's hair. Keeping aware to my surroundings.

"I'm going to kill her," I whispered.

There was a small ding coming from above. I put the goggles on and saw a parachute. I got up and went over to grab it. I pulled off the parachute and opened the capsule. Inside was a small container and a card.

Apply directly to his cut. You all are almost out ~G

It was from Gloss; I looked up at the sky and nodded my thanks. I slowly pulled off some of the bandages seeing the cut was really red. I open the container and applied in to the cut. I redid the bandages and sighed; I hope this works.
