Tyme here (again). sorry bout how long it took for me to post this,
ZambletheZombie: thanks for messaging us. Sorry it took me over five days to write this.
I don't own the hunger games... YET!
I wake up in the middle of the night and find Marvel standing over me, " Night Duty calls," he says smirking.
I moan, close my eyes, and try to roll over but a body stops me. Opening my eyes I see Clove, her dark hair blending into the darkness. I can feel her squirm next to me. I haul myself up and pull on my jacket. As I get out of the tent Marvel makes a move towards the tent joking, before moving the other way.
" Don't worry I'm going trying to seduce your girlfriend." Marvel says with a wink.
" That's gross" I say the smile playing on my lips.
" But…" He says smirking big and all I can think is Oh..no.
" You admit she's your girlfriend." He says smirking.
I smile and push past him without saying anything. I grab my spear and sword and sit down on a log near the fire. I pull on a pair of night vision goggles. I stand up and pace around. After ten minutes or so Clove get's out of the tent. She walks up and I can't help but smile. She smiles back.
" I see you couldn't sleep ."
"Not without you." she says, blushing slightly. She kicks at the ground with her foot.
" Aww Knives," I say pulling her tightly into a hug.
"What about the cameras?" Clove says pulling back slightly.
"They won't be filming us at this hour, besides Mom told me they believe that we've been friends since the beginning. Which is true." I say pulling her closer again,then using my hand to press her face into my chest.
"Hmm…" she says closing her eyes sleepily.
…
Two hours or so later I wake Clove up.
" Go to the tent I'll be there in a second." I say pushing her slightly.
"Mhmmm.." she says rubbing her eye's. Eventually she staggers back to the tent.
I walk off to get Thalia from her tent with Glimmer. I open the flap and crouch down inside. I wake Thalia up and she walks out of the tent. Closing the flap behind her.
I barely get to think, Rude, before something jumps on me pushing me down to the ground. I wouldn't have been pushed down if I hadn't been so surprised. My first thought is Mutt, but then something lies down on top of me. A woman's...chest area appears in front of my eyes, then I see Glimmer's face, She smiles down at me. She roughly presses her lips to mine . I pushed her off of me and ran out of the tent. I stopped and start spitting all over as if I had something revolting.
I run into the tent where Clove was. I jump in there and lie down next to Clove and try to forget what just happened.
…
Clove wakes me up before her shift, I sit out in the cold with her till the sun starts to rise. After everyone is up we start handing at food.
I eat my share before saying, " Today we're going to find our main source of water, for those of you who aren't smart enough to figure out why." I pause and look directly at Marvel. " We actually do need water to survive."
Marvel playfully gasps and Glimmer rolls her eyes before going back to hanging on my arm and batting her eyelashes at me every few seconds. I try my best smile at her but it comes out more of a smirk.
" I'll take Marvel out north and Clove and Glimmer, you go south." I say giving a high five to Marvel, as the girls stared at me in astonishment.
Clove was the first to speak, " What!? You want me to go out and look for water with little miss I can't fight, because I might break a nail!"
I try to look stern but it comes out a really big smirk again. Marvel turns to me and gives me another high five.
" Oh, yeah ,Thalia you stay here with lover boy.," I say looking at the girl slightly hidden in the shadow.
She sighs before nodding, " Okay folk, lets hop to it." I say adding far too much enthusiasm to the words.
Clove and Glimmer glare at me before heading forwards with Thalia already bickering about something.
Marvel and I head towards the woods on the north. As We walked marvel picked a conversation that I wish we wouldn't have had at all.
" So…. Cato, have you ever been to district one? You know cause of Gloss being your father and all."
" Umm No, you see I was told Brutus was my father, but then my mother admitted it to me before the interviews and it kinda just slipped." I answer rubbing the back of my neck with my head held up. We continued farther into the woods. Mockingjays sang overhead in the trees.
After thirty more minutes we came to a stream. " By the looks of it this, empties out into a bigger lake." I say to Marvel who then nods. We follow the stream as best as possible due to the trees along the bank.
" Cato, if you really never met your father till the games, then how do you act so much like him?" Marvel asks me.
" Umm, I don't understand what you mean." I answer him.
" You rub the back of your neck all the time, you do kinda look like him. You said, Lets hop to it, And he said the same words his games, with the same situation."
" Like father, like son?" I say shrugging. Luckily before he can say anything else,we find the lake. Its deep into the ground, so its hard to see. Luckily its only about a quarter mile from our camp. Which you can almost see. We fill our flasks, then head back toward the camp.
By the time we get there, the girls are already back. Glimmer has a small scratch from a tree branch, (Most likely one one Clove's knives) and she keeps whimpering like she's bleeding to death.
I ignore her as best as possible as I say, " Okay, the rest of you see the way we came from? Go straight from here to there, and there's a lake."
As Clove, Glimmer, Thalia, and Lover Boy walk off, I start to set up a middle day small snack.
…
I sat waiting for everyone to wake up so we could go hunting. After a final ten minutes I walked behind the tents to a small group of trees where I saw Clove and was pushed up against the tree with Marvel pinning her hands above her head. I quickly hid behind a large tree. I strained to hear them.
" Come, on Clove you really think he isn't in love with her. I bet the moment he saw her he gave up on you and is just keeping you around till he can get the fun out of her." Marvel argues releasing Clove hands.
" Wow, I guess I never thought of it that way. In fact it almost makes sense. But Cato isn't like that. He's too loyal." Clove says, and already I feel hurt.
I don't know who kissed who or if Marvel just has Clove pressed against the tree so she can't do anything. If only I could see her eyes I think.
I step out from the tree and make it look like I just got there.
" Mar…" I start. Their heads snap toward me. I allow the hurt to enter my eyes.
" Oh, umm, I'll a … leave you to your own business." I say.
" Cato wait!" Clove calls to me, her voice full of despair.
I keep walking. Ignore her. Keep walking. I think. The night continues with me walking around, me trying my best to not get caught with Clove alone ( which is much harder than I thought.)
I climb into a tent, and then into a sleeping bag. I turn my face away from the entrance where Clove is bound to appear. Is how Brutus felt, when he found out about my parents? As I thought this Clove appears in the tent. Luckily she thinks I'm asleep. She climbs in with me. Putting her face into my chest, and wrapping her arms around my neck.
I struggle between wanting to get up and run out, wrap my arms around her and forgive her, and just ignore her. The last one wins. I let the distant nothingness of sleep take over me.
