After verbally abusing the new member of our team for an hour Cato was finally far enough away from the others to where I could confront him. Seizing the opportunity I charge over and tackle him to the ground. His back hits the floor with a loud thud.

"What the hell was that about, before?" I slap his cheek. His hand shoots up to grab my arm before I can slap him again, I struggle to slip out of his grip.

Cato is flustered at first, but assesses his surroundings. He looks up into my eyes, giving me a smirk.

"I've been dreaming about this for days Katniss." He winks at me. "Us, all hot and sweaty, wrestling each other…."

I put more force onto his chest, making it harder for him to breath. It doesn't stop him from making sarcastic remarks though.

"Why did you throw my bow in the woods?" I spit at his face. He manages to slip from my hold and rolls on top of me. He cleans his face and wipes the spit on my shirt.

"Katniss, I guess you could call it a… dominance thing? I am always on top, remember that." He caresses my face. "You can't be in charge right now, I wont allow it. You having the bow? It creates an unnecessary danger. I don't need you using that on me." It's true, I probably would use it on him. "Young love, it drives you to do crazy things that maybe you don't mean sometimes." He pauses, leaning down to whisper. "I'll be the bad guy all day if I have to be, I don't have a problem being a jerk in front of the entirety of Panem."

"Just... get off of me!" I huff.

"It was you who started this, but I'm the one who is going to end it."

He pins my arms to my side, making it impossible for me to get up. His sheer weight alone stops me from moving.

"I'm not in the mood for this Cato." He stops me from speaking and covers my mouth with his. It's hard not to give in to temptation, because Cato is an excellent kisser. I am in a battle with my mind, willing my lips not to kiss back.

"Aw come on Katniss! Live a little, ok?"

I yank both wrists out from under his hands and bring his head closer so he can hear me. His smell is almost intoxicating, I have to hold my breath for an extra second before speaking..

"Get off of me or I will castrate you right here." I push the knife I had picked up earlier into his groin. He gets the message, and he's off of me in an instant.

"I'm going to remember this. Don't think I won't, because I will."

I sigh, I'm going to pay for this that's for sure. Cato will get me back when I least expect it.

He takes my arm and pushes me toward the cornucopia.

"Stop trying to pull this shit, you cant fool them by attacking me. They'll eventually figure it out Katniss." He says in a low voice. "Now go help Glitch with whatever the hell he's doing." He raises his voice, pushing me towards Glitch.

"Asshole…" I glance at Glitch. "So… what District are you from again?"

"D-d-district 3." He gets busy with some wires; he had taken apart the land mines from the platforms.

I lean in closer towards him, he's doing something I've never seen before. The way he works, it's interesting and almost an art form in and of itself.

"What is it that you're doing anyway?"

"Well you see if I just put these wires together then i-i-it should cause a c-chain reaction that blows up the entire place! I-I-I mean if anyone steps on it! Don't worry I will teach you how to avoid it. The other tributes that come our way, they may not be so l-lucky."

"That sounds… dangerous." What if I step on it? "Where are you going to put them?"

"Well I'm glad you asked Katniss." Cato appears behind me. "Stutter here is going to put them in a circle around the food, we're going to start building it up in a pile soon. Anyone who tries to go for the food will..." He makes an explosion sound. "It's the perfect trap really, eventually everyone is going to be halfway starved to death, they'll have no choice but to come to us."

"That's got to be one of the most stupid ideas I've ever heard of!" Cato cocks his head. "I mean, what makes you think it will work?"

"How is it stupid? Its genius!"

"Well suppose someone does blow it up, where are we supposed to get food?"

Cato ponders that question for a bit, he paces back and forth around me.

"Well I guess you will have to figure that out yourself. I want you on duty tonight, with me." He glares. "First thing in the morning we go after Peeta."

The first hour of watch wasn't so bad, it was actually quite relaxing, not a noise to be heard. Well, it was relaxing until Cato decided to grace me with his company.

"How are you doing? See anything?" He picks up a piece of my hair and plays with it, I swat his hand away.

"How do you think I am doing? I saw things today that I should have never seen, things that you enjoyed. My family and friends are all watching this blood bath right now, hoping that I can somehow survive." I sigh. "And you know what I-"

An image flashes in the sky, and a voice disrupts the silence of the night.

"Congratulations on surviving the first day of the Hunger Games! A very good show indeed! You are all making your districts proud!"

Images of the fallen tributes light up the sky. One, two, three… eleven in total dead. Peeta is not among the fallen. Thirteen tributes remain in the arena, eight if you don't count the career group. I cant believe so many innocent lives were lost in such a short amount of time.

I wonder if Peeta is ok, he has to be. I'm sure Peeta teamed up with someone and is hunting down others as I think to myself. There has to be some way I can make out with supplies and find him… I glance over to Glimmer. She has the supplies guarded. Cato isn't an idiot either, as much as I'd like to think he is. He manipulates me, he knows how my body reacts to his and just loves to torture me. I know he's trying to set up a connection where I feel obligated to stay, and I still am falling into his trap anyway. It's ridiculous, the whole world is ridiculous.

"Katniss, why don't you just come with me over here." Cato motions over. I follow him around the corner of the cornucopia where a tent is set up. "Found it in the supplies, it's my tent, no one else can use it. Nobody else but you... and me." He winks. I let out a disgusted noise and just walk away. He's quick to grab my elbow and pull me back. "I told Marvel to go on watch duty, come with me and get some sleep. It looks like you're about to fall over. We're going to need all the rest we can get."

He's right, I am exhausted from the day's events, and I don't want to sleep outside like Glitch. Everyone has a tent but that poor boy.

"Yeah that doesn't sound too bad right now…" I yawn and join him in the tent. It's a lot roomier than I had previously expected. "Don't expect anything Cato."

I'm sorry Peeta, I am. I'm sorry Prim, I really am betraying you aren't I? I'm betraying myself too. I truly am sleeping with the enemy.
