The tributes have come back from training. Finn and mine have gone to bed. We head down to the training facility. Cato went down earlier to give his brother dinner and spar him. The capital tends to forget to feed the peacekeepers as the hunger games facility. So, us victor's feed them. It helps to do that and as a trade off they let us pretty much anything we want. They stay out of our way. Thresh pops out.
"Ready to go?" he asks.
"You look like you've been sparing." I say with a smile.
"Yeah, learned some peacekeeper moves and how to counter them from Cato's brother," he says Finn and I head over to the pool.
We teach him to hold his breath underwater. We just have contests to see who can hold their breath underwater. Cato even gets in on a few rounds. He gets the hang of it, and we call is quits for the night. Enobaria comes down and he starts to close in again.
"Enobaria is here to teach you how to handle a know and how to throw them." I say.
"She really wants to help me?" he asks cautiously.
"Yes, I do. Anything I can do to help the tributes," she says.
"Alright, I'm willing to try them," he says.
We lead him over to the targets. She hands him a knife and positions it in his hands and shows him how she holds it.
"This is how you get a good throw and accurate," she says.
"You must have thrown a lot of knives," he says.
"I help teach it at the academy with Cato's sister. She is better them I am." She tells Thresh. "You don't need a ton of power just follow through."
He throws the knife, and it sticks to the target on the edge.
"Did that go well?" he asks.
"Yeah, you have the technique down all you need to do is practice. Once you get used to the weight of the blade you will start hitting the target where you want."
He throws it again and gets closer. I walk away to do the plant game. Cato comes over to me. He wraps his arms around my waist. He starts giving a few answers that he knows.
"Hey," I say looking up at him. He kisses my lips then my neck.
"You know this backwards and forwards." He says.
"Thresh is starting to get knife throwing," I tell him changing the topic.
"I can hear the cheers," he says.
"That's true. Finn and Enobaria are very encouraging that's for sure," I say. Cato and I laugh. "I can picture them with pompoms."
"I can definitely agree with that," he says with a smile.
We both decide to pack it in tonight. We say goodnight to everyone and head to the second floor. We decide to sleep in his bed. We will swap between his and my bed while here.
"What are you doing here on our floor?" Two's female tribute asks me in a snarky voice.
"Well, Cato's bed is on this floor and I'm his wife. I'm also a victor, so I'm allowed wherever I want," I say. "I guess someone left their respect for victors in two."
"I only respect victors worthy of their win." She comes back with.
"Aquamarine is the youngest victor to ever win," Cato says firmly.
"She only won because her brother won for her," she tells him.
"Really? Then you clearly learned nothing from her games," Cato says getting pissed off.
"What's going on here?" Brutus comes in demanding.
"She doesn't think Aqua is a true victor." Cato says with a huff.
"Is that true?" Brutus asks the girl seeing if she will lie.
"Her brother did all the work," she yells.
"Well then you didn't watch her games close enough. She pulled her own moves, and she made the plan that helped them win the games." Brutus says. "I guess instead of sleeping in on your day off we are watching Finnick, and Aquamarines games and you will watch it as many times as it takes to see Aquamarine's moves in the games. You are a career. You miss something and that will kill you."
"Got to bed," Cato orders.
"Where's Enobaria?" She asks.
"Wherever she wants to be. Now go to bed," Cato repeats.
"Listen to him. Now!" Enobaria orders as soon as she steps on the floor backing Cato up. The girl runs to her room. "What happened?"
"She just decided to disrespect Aqua and is now spending her free day watching Aqua's and Finn's games," Brutus explains.
"She disrespected a victor?" Enobaria asks shocked.
"Yes," Cato says.
"Why would she do that?" She asks.
"Because she doesn't think Aqua us a proper victor. She thinks Aqua only won because Finn did all the work," Brutus explains.
"But Aqua did some big game moves behind the scenes," she says.
"Well, your tribute doesn't think so," Cato says.
He takes my hand and pulls me into his room. He pushes me onto the bed after closing and locking his door. He climbs on top of me and kisses me.
"I will never let a cocky kid disrespect you like that. She will regret it." He threatens her to me.
"I know you will make her regret is. You are an amazing training," I say wrapping my arms around his neck.
I pull him down so he will kiss me again. I bite down on his bottom lip. He growls and presses harder into me. Grinding against me. He pulls my top off breaking the kiss to get it over my head. I pull his top off. He sits up and pulls me back to his lips. He gently pinches my nipples causing me to moan. He quickly gets up and stands at the edge on the of the bed stripping his pants. He pulls mine with my panties. He runs his finger down my slit feeling how wet I am.
"You're dripping beautiful," he whispers looking at me. He climbs back on top of me.
"Please, Cato," I moan.
"Please what?" He asks teasing me. He pushes two fingers inside of me them pulls them out.
"Please, fuck me, Cato, please." I beg.
"You're so pretty when you beg," he says then lines himself up.
He pushes in slowly. He moans quietly in my ear. I moan out feeling him fill me up. I love this feeling. He starts pounding me, pushing me into the bed. I thrust up to meet him. What seems like only minutes later, I start to feel that coil in my stomach. He runs his fingers over my clit knowing I'm close. I feel the dame burst and I scream his name. He slows down a little when my orgasm starts to taper. He speeds up then spurts inside of me with a breathy moan. He collapses beside me pulling me on top of him. He pulls out of me and pulls a blanket over us. He gives me a few more sleepy kisses. I put my head on his chest and fall asleep.
I feel Cato move from underneath me what feels like seconds later.
"Where are you going?" I ask him in a sleepy voice.
"Tow decided to disrespect you. So, I'm going to do her punishment. She wants to act like a child she will do drills. I need to go wake her up. You go back to sleep." He tells me.
"This I want to see." I say. We both slip into the shower for a quick rinse off and I slip on a robe. He changes into a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. "After you wake her then, I'll go back to sleep."
"Good," he says.
I know he doesn't like it when I watch him act like a drill Sargent. He doesn't have to with the little kids. He gets to be fun Cato for them. He always feels guilty when I watch him order the older tributes around. He says it's because he's different with me. So, I respect is most of the time. But in this case watching him wake her up extremely early, it's one AM. She will have to be awake all day as well. That's payback at its finest form.
Cato can be very devious when he wants to be. We walk into her room. He leaves the door open knowing as soon as she screams Brutus and Enobaria will come running. Probably thinking he's killing her or something. He really isn't that bad anymore. He dumps ice cold water on her. She bolts up and screams.
"You're spatial awareness and reactions need work," Cato says calmly as Brutus and Enobaria coming running in.
"Cato what did you do?" Brutus asks carefully. He's probably thinking Cato needs a dose of his stronger meds.
"She needed to wake up. So, I tested her reaction and spatial awareness. It was horrible. She didn't know I was in the room till I dumped water on her and Aqua and I stood and watched her for five minutes. I also wasn't quiet about entering or walking over to her either." He explains.
"You mean I wasn't quiet?" I question with a laugh.
"Now, that she's up she can do drills till training." He says then turns to her. "That's what you get for disrespecting my wife." She looks petrified. Good! Maybe she will learn from this.
"You're not a victor yet. So don't expect to be treated like one," Brutus tells her walking out when she gives him a pleading look.
"Your wife. Your punishment. Aqua you gonna watch?" Enobaria asks.
"No, I'm going back to bed to sleep for a little while longer," I reply with a yawn.
"Smart girl. Guess I have to be the one that stays up," Enobaria says walking out of the room.
"Well, get up and get ready to train you have five minutes." Cato tells her.
We both leave the room. He picks me up bridal style and carries me back to bed. I giggle loving every minute of it. I love when he gets to be a sap like this. He tucks me in giving me a kiss.
"See you at breakfast." He tells me then leaves the room.
I close my eyes again. It seems like I blinked, and the sunlight is now waking me up. I slip into one of Cato's t-shirts and a pair of my sweats that I have here. I walk out and head to the breakfast table. I see Finn and Peeta there as well. Tributes must be at training because they aren't there. I head over to Cato and give him a kiss. I sit beside him.
"Someone slept in," Finn teases.
"You would to if you were up at one AM." I say with a smile.
"You okay?" Finn asks now worried about me.
"I am. But I don't think the female from two is." I reply with a chuckle.
"Why do you say that?" Peeta asks confused.
"Drill Sargent Cato Hadley made an appearance," Brutus says.
"Victors are highly respected in two. If you disrespect one you get punished. Well, she decided to disrespect Aqua last night. She got punished with a very early morning of drills. Cato can be very cruel when pushed to do so," Enobaria explains.
"In twelve victors are just people." Peeta tells us.
"Same with four," Finn pitches in.
"Two is different because everyone is trained to kill. The victors are the survivors. So, there is respect. Peeta and Katniss are seen as lesser victors. Same with Finn and Aqua. Now Finn and Aqua have a bit more respect then Peeta and Katniss because they were twelve and fourteen respectively and they are siblings. You see in two only sixteen and up can volunteer and no siblings can volunteer together. For district one and two there is only one victor allowed. But they have respect for Finn and Aqua because two has rules to prevent what happened to them from happening to tributes in two. But with Peeta and Katniss they have very little respect because they were older and not related. Sure, Peeta loved her, but it was very obvious that she didn't love Peeta back." Brutus explains to all to us. Cato nods agreeing.
"Two is built on respect," Enobaria inputs. "So, you will never want to travel with out another victor there, Peeta."
"I will make sure to remember that thanks," Peeta says taking a deep breath.
We all get up and decide to go to the lounge.
"How did Thresh do last night?" I ask Enobaria.
"He did really well. He can definitely defend himself now and skin an animal. Today you're going to work on traps?" She asks me.
"Yeah, I was thinking so. He can make them to catch animals and people." I say. "Seeder did you give him our tips?"
"Yes, I did. He really does appreciate all the help." She says to us while sitting on the couch. She is watching the tributes with Gloss, Cashmere, Johanna, and Marvel.
"I can finally see what's got you guys saying Thresh is going to win." Marvel says.
"Finally," Cashmere says throwing her hands up in the air in frustration.
Beetee makes his way into the lounge.
"Hey Beetee. It's been a few days. What have you been up to?" Cashmere asks.
"Getting sponsors. Finn can usually do it in one day. Finn can usually do it in one day. Me not so much," he says looking defeated. He always gets so upset that he can't do more for his tributes. We try to help out when we can by dropping hints when we think we have enough sponsors.
"You will have a tribute that blows you away some day. You will get easy sponsors," I try to give him hope.
"When do people go find sponsors?" Peeta asks.
"Well Finn goes second day. Generally, all day. He might go for a few more hours another day. Brutus, Enobaria, Gloss, and Cashmere have their sponsors come to them, so they head out after training on the first day. Seeder goes for a few hours each day. Johanna doesn't go. Blight goes for them. I don't go out either, Finn likes to go. Haymitch did everyday while you guys were out training. Beetee goes everyday except the first say," I explain.
"Wow, why do some go out longer?" Peeta asks.
"Takes longer to find sponsors. Careers have it easy. Seeder has it pretty easy this year as well," Beetee says.
"How is that fair?" he asks.
"It's not but we all have our own systems that work for us." Gloss tells him.
"Why isn't Marvel a mentor?" he asks.
"Because Marvel would be a horrible mentor and I like mentoring with Gloss." Cashmere responds.
"I guess that makes sense," he says.
"So, mentors choose to choose to mentor?"
"If there are more then one male or female, yes. I'm the youngest female winner so I relieved Mags. Well, the youngest sane one. Finn supports me being my brother. He wants to be near me." I say. "Also gives us a chance to spend a week or two together."
"Obstacle course is today." Brutus announces.
"That's right. I forget about that," I say.
"That's why I chose today for the punishment." Cato says.
"Obstacle course?" Peeta asks.
"Yes, it's where the mentors can see strengths and weaknesses in physical nature." Brutus explains.
"Alright," Peeta says.
