So this chapter is really short but ill make up for it in the next one... i hope... but anyways enjoy :)
{Back to Cato's POV}
It was one of those times where I saw nothing in my dream but I knew it was a bad one. I was awoken by the sound of Katniss voice. It was not the usual calm voice but a panicking one. I opened my eyes to see what she was going on about when I saw flames all around the forest. I shot up and tried untying my rope but it did not seem to want to get loose. Katniss was having the same trouble as I was. She gave up and reached into her bag and pulled out a knife and cut the ropes. Although it was a high way up we both jumped. I hit a branch on the way down so it broke my fall but I still got some scratches. Katniss on the other hand was not as lucky and she injured her leg.
I went for the bush that hid my sword. It was on fire but I went to retrieve it still. My hand got burnt a little but it was nothing serious. I ran back to Katniss and helped her onto her feet although she obviously in no need for my help.
We did not know where we were going but we ran (or limped in Katniss case). I waited for her while trying to figure out which way was the best way to go. Suddenly this large fire ball came out of nowhere and I had to jump out of the way to dodge it. Fire balls were going at Katniss too and because I was still on the floor I had to watch as she got hit on her leg. I felt an unbelievable feeling of anger growing in me. More than when I am on a killing spree. Now she had a limp and burns to deal with.
Somehow we got out of that mess. I had no idea where we were but there was water. Katniss made no stop to get into it. I knew she was in excruciating pain although when the fire ball hit her she did not make a sound. I entered after, filling our bottles with the water and drank enough till my heart was content. I looked over to Katniss who was observing the burn in the water. She looked exhausted and wanted to pass out any minute. I went over to her, picked her up and walked her over to the bank. Surprisingly she did not object.
"We should find somewhere to hide before the other careers finds us." She was avoiding my gaze. I knew she thought she was being weak and I was making her feel that way but it is either this or she limped and I rather not see her in anymore pain.
"So where do you want to go? Back up the trees or into the ground?"
"I don't think going up a tree will help anything."
"Good point." I walked with Katniss in my arms for some time until we found a cave.
It was going underground. It was hard to find so it will hide us for some time until her leg heals or until her sponsors sends her something for it. I had a hard time getting into the cave especially while carrying Katniss. Once we were in I set her down on a place that could make a good bed. I sat next to her and threw our bags in a corner. That was when I heard an 'ow'.
"Who's there?" I asked immediately on my feet with my sword in hand. There was a silence so I walked up to the spot where I threw the bags. I could not see anyone but I knew I heard something.
"Cato what are you doing?" She had that same look on her face as before.
"I swore I heard someone in here so don't give me that look."
"…"
"I am not going mad if that is what you are implying."
She let out a giggle and then motioned me over.
I sat down next to her but kept my eyes in that corner.
Some time passed and I sat there in silence. I did not know what to do and Katniss was asleep. I thought I should investigate what that noise was earlier. I went over to the same spot and kicked around a little trying not to wake up Katniss. On a certain spot there was a cushiony feeling. I was going to kick harder when Katniss woke up and asked what I was doing. At that same time a hand grabbed one of my feet. I was going to scream but I was too manly for that so I tried to stifled it but a small sound came out.
"What the fuck!"
Katniss looked surprised and then her opened mouth turned into a smile. "Peeta!"
"Peeta?"
"Peeta is the name, now if you don't mind, get those damn bags off of me."
Peeta gonna butt in to Katniss and Cato lonely time .
... no worries i will save the day *insert evil laugh here*
