I feel ashamed. 3 days? I've only done that when I've had vacation! :o Sorry for the wait!

What do you think of my other story so far? (:

Now, I also want to keep this a bit realistic to what can and can't happen. 'Kay? I want to make this fanfiction pretty realistic in sorts ;D

I love all of you! Have fun reading this short chapter. At least we have 5 reviews, right? C: I love it when you guys get soo into this!

Enjoy!

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck.

Some nights, I call it a draw.

Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle.

Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off.

Fun, "Some Nights."

Cato POV

I lay in bed, thinking about tomorrow. And the day after that. And after that. And after that. Mostly tomorrow crosses my mind. Katniss' warm back is pressed against my chest, her soft breathing keeping me calm. Her hair is splayed around her head like a halo, some resting on my arm around her shoulder.

But the tight feeling I have doesn't go away. I've been feeling it for a while today, thinking of what might happen when we arrive at Twelve. It might be a silent war of broken lives and broken homes; it could be violence thrashed out at me and my monstrous behavior. A monster, a murderer, falling for one of their own, dirtying their pure soul. That's how I imagine it would be.

Turning on my back, I watch the ceiling as if it held the questions to the future. It possibly could, if I believed hard enough. Everything seemed so bleak without the girl next to me. How have I lived this long without her?

A movement turns in my arms, sighing, and I immediately know Katniss woke up.

"What are you doing?" she asks sleepily. Her brown curls are messed up and horribly cute. I turn my head to look into her eyes that are reflecting in the moonlight. "It's late."

I give her a small smile, rubbing her cheek with my thumb. "Can't sleep." Her face pales as the realization hits her, hits her hard.

"Cato, you'll be fine." I scoff inwardly.

"How do you know?"

She shakes her head and replies, "I just do." What unnerves me about this situation is that even her words don't untie the knot. It just settles in my stomach uncomfortably, a heavy weight placed on my shoulders.

"But I killed... I killed so many, Katniss. They wouldn't want you with... with... me."

Katniss' face grows serious and I know I've hit a button. "The only people I want a good opinion from is my family and Gale. So far, that's going great, at least for Prim. The rest who don't agree can go fuck themselves." I laugh and hold her closer. Her breathing on my chest gives me shivers, sending them up and down my spine. The effect she has on me is huge, something that I haven't witnessed personally. Is this how it feels? To want someone so close physically and mentally? Maybe so, but I've never discussed the topic of love to anyone.

Katniss' features change to a worried expression. In a tiny whisper and a look around the room, she speaks in my ear.

"Can you feel it too? Something... gah, I don't know.. not natural? I've felt weird and really clammy throughout the rest of the tour."

She feels it. The uneasiness in the air, the possibility that everything might get worse? It's all coming to both of us at a fast rate. Nodding, I rest my forehead against hers.

"Yeah, I do."

"I don't like it. My dad told me to trust my instincts, and so far, they're not giving me a good feeling." She pauses. "Something's not right."

Holding her tight, I lean down to kiss right underneath her ear lobe. Instead of the response of humming and the closing of her eyes, Katniss looks to the other wall, sighing. I can tell this must be really bothering her. Removing my lips, I kiss her nose and turn her, so her back is against my chest again.

"Go to sleep. We'll figure out in the morning."

I rub my hand up and down her arm until she falls asleep, the steady breathing coming to life again. Following in her footsteps, I close my eyes and let my mind wander.

My last thoughts consist of three words, and three words only: what's going on?

The darkness overcomes me once more.

What do you think for a small chapter? (: It was okay. I tried to add more details and more intimacy, because over time, their relationship grows more and more... intimate, you know?

Anyway, Review! I finished homework in time to finish this chappie (: Thank me (Lol!) !

Bye!
