Chapter 10
"What the fuck?" Cato growled at lover boy.
When we swam out of the lake we saw lover boy warning Katniss. And now Cato was pissed. He had gotten stung on the cheek and it didn't seem like it was affecting him. Me on the other hand not so lucky. I mean Marvel is holding me up right now, because I feel like I could fall over right now.
"You're little girlfriend did this and now she's gone and Glimmer's dead," Cato growled.
I know he's not really upset with Glimmer dying, I mean one less person to kill in the end. It's the fact that Cato needs someone to blame for losing Katniss and I don't care lover boy can take all of Cato's rage.
"I didn't know she was going to do that. Plus she did it to me too," lover boy argued back, wrong move.
Cato gritted his teeth before swinging his sword. Lover boy tried to dodge it, but cut on the leg bad.
"Let's see how long you last now? Let's go back to base," Cato said turning to the rest of us.
He walked ahead steaming, so the rest of us stood back to let him cool down. I was wobbling so bad that Marvel picked me up and started carrying me. I don't mind though, it's less I have to walk. By nightfall we made it to the camp. Bomb boy was there wiring a bunch of wires. Marvel sat me on a log, before going to start a fire. A parachute dropped down landing in my lap. I struggled opening it, so Marvel opened it for me. I took out the note and squinted trying to read it.
Star,
Apply this to your sting and give some to your buddy.
Conner
Marvel opened it for me, since I'm basically useless right now. I rubbed the ointment on the sting instantly feeling better. I wasn't wobbly or sick it was amazing.
"Cato come here," I said.
He looked up at me; he was feeling the effects too. He didn't want to show it, since he had to be the strongest. He walked over to me and sat down. I rubbed the ointment on his face. He moved his head more into my touch and smiled up at me.
"Feel better?" I asked.
"I do," he said standing again.
After we felt better we started unpacking some of the supplies we had. We put up three tents and found some sleeping bags. I smiled; I was not going to freeze tonight.
I laid my head on Cato's shoulder and stared into the fire. I was trying to figure who was left: Cato, Marvel, Clove and I. Then there was bomb boy, lover boy, Katniss, Scott, Rue, Thresh, District 5 girl and District 10 boy. That was all of us, half were already dead.
"I'm going to sleep. Marvel you're sharing with bomb boy," Clove smirked going in one of the tents while Marvel's mouth dropped.
"Ready for bed?" Cato asked I nodded as he kissed my head.
"Have fun Marvel," I laughed as Cato and I took another tent.
"Screw you Star."
I laughed as I took my jacket off. Finally sleeping bags and warmth. Cato crawled into the sleeping bag and I followed. I was warm and I could actually feel my toes tonight. I looked up into Cato's blue eyes feeling safe. Everyone says he's cold, but I think I changed him a little bit…at least towards me. He leaned down pushing his lips to mine. I kissed back, before Cato's mouth trailed down to my neck. He kissed, bit and sucked on the same spot. I didn't care what he did honestly; he means so much to me.
"And now everyone will know you're my girl," he said smiling at me. He probably left his mark.
"And you're my guy," I smiled.

The next day I woke up early as always, but laid in Cato's arms until he woke up. After we were both awake we walked out of our tent to see that bomb boy was already up working on the bombs. Clove and Marvel joined us after a little while. Parachutes started dropping from the sky. Most of them were Cato's, the others were Marvel's and Clove's. I found one that was mine though. I opened the sliver container and in it was a heavier coat, yay. I pulled the note out that was from Conner.
Ice Princess,
You have some explaining to do. Tell the Ice Prince I said hello.
Conner.
My eyes widened, they were calling us the Ice Prince and Princess…oh shit.
"Cato, did you see what they're calling us?" I asked.
"Yeah, the Ice Prince and Princess catchy though," he chuckled wrapping his arms around my waist.
After we ate we devised a plan for the day. Clove and Marvel were going to stay here, while Cato and I went hunting for tributes. I put on my thicker coat and smiled I would be very warm.
"At least someone noticed that you were freezing. I'm happy though, now you freezing to death is not a possibility," Cato chuckled as I nodded.
We were listening for any trace of footsteps. With 12 tributes left something had to be done. I heard the distinct crackle of a fire and smirked. I tugged on Cato's sleeve and motioned with my head where I hear the noise. He nodded as we creep towards the crackling. We stayed hidden and looked as we found our fire. I could just feel Cato smirking; it was the guy from District 10.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Cato asked walking into the clearing, I followed after him.
The guy's eyes grew as Cato smirked. It wasn't long before a cannon sounded. 13 tributes down 11 of us left. After Cato killed the guy we went back to camp.
"He got it finished," Clove said when we were back.
"Let's pile everything up and bury them all around it," Cato said.
So we spent the rest of the day piling all of our supplies up and burying the mines around it. After we had everything set we started a fire and sat around it. I finally wasn't cold thanks to my new coat. Cato pulled me over on to his lap and wrapped his arms around me.
"You're not shivering," he chuckled kissing the back of my neck.
"I know, I'm warm," I said snuggling back into him.
"Why are you two only nice to each other?" Marvel asked.
"Because we are deal with it," Cato said smirking.
Great answer.
