A/N: I'm sorry if I didn't answer your Review, I have had a very busy past couple days and I have been very sick and looking at a computer screen was not an option.
"What the fuck is your problem Glimmer?" Clove snaps.
"Cato is supposed to be with me! I'm the beautiful one here, not her!" Glimmer jabs a finger in my direction and Cato scoffs at her.
"Glimmer Katniss is more beautiful than you on the inside and the outside." I blush slightly but move towards Glimmer slowly.
"It's a good thing your aim with knifes is shit Glimmer, I don't think you would still be standing if your knife had made contact with me."
She rolls her eyes and glares at me. "Why not? If I kill you Cato is mine for the taking."
"Because if you kill her I will kill you." Clove growls at her.
"Jeez, we have quite the little thing going here don't we? Peeta wants you, but you want me, Glimmer wants me but I want you. This is getting ridicules."
"All we need is someone to announce they are related to one of us and we can have our own little soap opera." I smile at Marvels joke but don't take my eyes off of Glimmer.
"Glimmer you realize of course if you and Katniss get into it right now I'm placing my bets on Katniss. What about you boys?"
"My bets on Katniss." Marvel shrugs.
"She won't have any problems kicking your ass." Cato smirks at Glimmer who lets out a frustrated shriek and pulls back her arm to throw another knife. I knock an arrow before she has time to throw and I shoot an arrow threw her jacket sleeve; pinning her arm against the tree behind her.
"Glimmer do you really want to do this right now?" I sigh as I lower my bow.
She reaches up and rips the arrow from her sleeve, after snapping it in half she throws it to the side and throws another knife at me. I lean sideways quickly and the knife just grazes my cheek. I frown at her.
"That was a perfectly good arrow Glimmer; did you really need to snap it?"
"You won't need it when I'm done with you." She lunges at me and knocks me to the ground. We struggle for control, Glimmer claws at me; raking her nails across my face and yanks at my hair.
"You fight like a bitch Glimmer." I gasp as she yanks a chunk of my hair out. I swing blindly as she claws at my eyes and I land a punch to the side of her head. Glimmer howls in pain and rolls off of me. I scramble to my feet and Cato grabs me, holding me back as I kick and wiggle trying to get out of his grasp and pummel Glimmer. Marvel is holding back Glimmer; preventing her from attacking me again.
"Are you calm?" Cato asks, I feel his lips against my ear and his breath tickles my skin.
"If I say yes are you going to let me go?" I reply with a slight shutter.
"Yes."
"In that case no, I'm not calm; I wanna rip the bitch's eyes out." I feel Cato smile against my ear and whisper 'too bad' before slowly letting me go, watching to see if I would attack her again. I frown at the loss of contact and he chuckles at me before turning to Glimmer, the smile slides off his face and a scowl replaces it. Marvel holds her still as she struggles; trying her hardest to get away from Cato.
"I do remember telling you that if you touch her I would break every bone in your body." I can't see his face, but I watch his hand grab Glimmers arm and yank it out from Marvels hold. I hear a pop and Glimmer lets out a cry of pain as her shoulder is dislocated. "If you think that hurt your gonna hate what I do next."
Cato grabs her index finger and bends it back slowly, farther and farther. I look away as a sickening crack sounds and Glimmer shrieks. Another crack, another shriek, crack, shriek, crack, shriek. Four of five of Glimmers fingers are broken when Cato turns and walks back to me.
"I'll leave you one good finger Glimmer, for the one time I will let you live for touching my girl." Cato wraps an arm around me and leads me towards the mouth of the cornucopia. I'm a little annoyed that he broke up the fight but the stinging in my face distracts me from getting mad at him.
"How bad is it?" I mumble, knowing Glimmer probably ripped all the skin from my face; at least that's how I feel.
Cato frowns. "It's not that bad."
"Don't lie to me Cato."
"Really, it's not that bad; a lot or red marks, but only a few real scratches." He pulls out some kind of ointment and slowly massages it onto my face. After a slight stinging from the contact I relax into his touch. I can hear Glimmer crying off in the distance but I turn her out, instead paying attention to Cato's large hand on my cheek.
"Why didn't you just let me kill her?"
"Because than you would live with the guilt, you aren't a killer Katniss and ill do everything to make sure your kill count doesn't go up any higher than it already is." I flinch slightly when he mentions the previous kids I murdered.
"Hey, don't blame yourself for what happened in the blood bath. They were going to die anyways, whether it was by your arrow, Cloves knife or my sword." He pulls me to him and I cuddle into his chest.
"Oh get a room." Marvel quips as he rummages through the food pile.
"Wanna build us one?"
"Please, if I could build a shelter I would so I wouldn't be sleeping under the same roof as glimmer and her whining. She won't shut up about it! 'It's so unfair, I'm the one who Cato was suppose to fall for!" Marvel tries to mimic Glimmer but doesn't succeed. At all.
Gale POV
I sit in the Everdeen's living room with little Prim sitting in my lap, Rory and Vick sit on the floor in front of us, our mothers sit on a couch to the right of us. The six of us watch the television intently; praying we don't see Katniss murdered.
I watch as Cato breaks apart the fight between Katniss and Glimmer and sigh in relief. Katniss can't handle all the guilt that comes with taking a life; she will be plagued with the ghost's of the children from day one.
"He is good for her." Prim states. It's not a question, she knows Cato is willing to protect her sister and that is all that matters to her.
"He is." I hate knowing only one of them can come out of this when she so obviously cares for the boy. I was shocked when he kissed her; I thought she would have gone back to Peeta after the blood bath, though I'm glad she didn't. Peeta hurt her in a way I will never be able to fix, but maybe Cato can.
Caesars face comes on screen as Cato breaks several of blondies fingers and I smile at the pain shown on her face. "Well, Cato certainly is protective isn't he?" He laughs. "If I was Glimmer I would be sticking clean of those two for quite a while!"
Claudius adds. "It may be time for Glimmer to leave the alliance and risk the wilderness. It may just save her life!" Both laugh and the picture cuts in half, showing the games on the right at the announcers on the left. They cut to a shot of the river and the rocks lining the river bank.
"Now if you look very carefully you will see a tribute in this screen." Claudius says while smiling. "Can anyone see him?" I search the screen but see nothing but rocks and water. A small red circle appears in the corner.
"That ladies and gentlemen is Peeta Mellark." Caesar laughs and I see a slight movement as Peeta's hand... or foot moves. "Now that is amazing. He has taken the rocks and moss from around him and made him invisible to anyone looking in the area. Of course the only reason he is hiding is that wound to his leg."
"Ah yes, the stab wound from Cato's sword. I have to say, I'm quite shocked that he didn't kill Peeta right there." Claudius shakes his head in disappointment. I'm disgusted with him.
"Yes but we all know why Mister Evans didn't kill him; for Katniss. He knows the two of them are close, or used to be. There seems to be some tension between the two district 12 tributes!" The two laugh and take wild guesses as to what happened between my best friend and the boy who broke her heart.
They move onto the other tributes, the girls from 4 and 5 are picking berry's; the district 11 tributes have joined together and are hiding in the grass fields; the grass reaching well above the boys head. Clove sits by the lake sharpening her knifes and threatening to gut Glimmer like a fish if she doesn't stop complaining. Marvel is starting a fire to cook dinner; Cato is off to the side by the trees swinging his sword around. Katniss has her bow and arrows with her as she makes her way through the trees, looking for something to shoot for dinner.
Everything seems to be going well, a simple quiet evening for them all too just whined down after a few drama filled days; until the cannon goes off to signal someone death and Cato is taking off to find Katniss.
