Hey guys! It's half-term for me now, so I should be updating quite regularly. I've actually almost finished and I know where I'm going with this story now, so I'm probably going to start working on a new one, possibly one that doesn't move quite so fast. Lemme know if you have any ideas. Enjoy! xx

Katniss

We've been in this fucking house for about 9 hours now, and it's finally time for the first eviction. I didn't bother unpacking, certain the public would vote me out first. I had a long in-depth conversation with Clove about what they had been doing while we were on the victory tour. It was so exciting for me to hear all about it, especially her new relationship with Thresh. They seem like the most unlikely couple but Clove is so happy, more than either Cato or I have ever seen her. In fact, all the Careers are like completely different people, like they've forgotten their whole lives. But anyway, it's time for me to go, and see my beautiful babies again.

I'm still in the house. I didn't get voted out, like Haymitch promised, and now I have to wait two other days to leave. Marvel was first, which means Foxface will be second as she's nothing without him. That means another day goes by where I don't get to see my kids. I love them and Cato and I both miss them so much. When Marvel left, I cried for over 2 hours, both being comforted and comforting Cato as we miss them. We sleep in the same bed and hold each other. Peeta lies next to Rue until she falls asleep and then gets drunk with Foxface, who is bored without Marvel. Clove and Thresh go to bed earlier than any of us; after making out on the couch for over an hour, we sent them away.

Cato

Katniss is not coping, holed up in this house. She's never liked being trapped and even going for a swim couldn't calm her down for long. We did have fun though, splitting into teams and playing a game of water polo. Rue, Kat and I were on one team; Foxface, Clove and Peeta on the other, with Thresh refereeing, because he can't swim. We won, scoring the winning point when I got Rue on my shoulders and she smacked the ball down hard on the surface. Then we boys raced each other, while Thresh watched and the girls gossiped and tried to get a tan. They talked about Peeta's new girlfriend, Glimmer and how Rue had celebrated her 13th birthday, something Katniss was devastated to have missed. Rue jumped back in the pool and I played with her and Peeta and Marvel finally got Thresh in the water and tried to teach him to swim, while Clove and Foxface helped Kat with one of her ideas. At 5, we finally went inside, to have a party. We all dressed up, Clove in green, Foxface in blue and Katniss wearing a short white dress with silver heels. When the boys saw her, they were practically drooling, especially me. As soon as I saw her, I kissed her passionately but our love was interrupted as we gave Rue, dressed as a beautiful little fairy, a second party. At about 7 it was time for the second eviction…

It was Foxface, as we all knew it was, even Foxy. Katniss looked disappointed but managed to keep a mask on in front of Rue, who hugs Foxface and then goes to sit by Katniss. We all wave goodbye and just as she is about to leave, Kat calls out to her. "Say hi to our babies for us!" We sit awkwardly for a moment, not sure what to do with ourselves until Katniss suggests that she and Peeta go cook something for dinner while the rest of us 'chill'. When the meal is finally ready, it is stupendous, and very homely, making everyone feel better – spaghetti bolognaise, and then Peeta has made brownies for everyone. After that, we don't have anything else to do, so we go to bed. I tuck Rue in tonight and Kat sings her to sleep. I almost doze off myself, and Thresh and Clove are suddenly sleepy too. Peeta sleeps on the couch, ready for whatever throws itself at us next.

Katniss

Ok, it should be my turn next. At least that's what Cato and I tell each other as we lie awake for hours. He's got his arms around me and I'm curled into his chest. His t-shirt is wet with my tears and my hair is soaked with his. I feel like I'm being crushed by a massive weight and I know Cato hates seeing me sad. People always say that you never know true love until you have kids and I understand what they mean, but our love is different to any other anyone else has. We finally fall asleep at about 2 in the morning. What will tomorrow bring?

Ok, this house is getting ridiculous. Today, it was raining so we stayed indoors (like we had a choice) and played board games. Most of them were really old, like Harry Potter old, and Monopoly was by far the best. Cato, being the clever boy he is, taught us how to play and we played in teams. Peeta and Rue were out first of course. He's never had to save money like I have and Rue just wanted to buy the 'pretty' ones. Clove and Thresh were out next, so we won! Clove is very competitive so it was a fight to the bitter end but we had a hotel on one lot that cost $2000, which pushed her over the edge into bankruptcy. Then we made pizzas for dinner and settled down to hear who was going to be evicted. To absolutely everyone's surprise, it was Rue. She gave me a hug and whispered, "I'll find a way for you to see your babies." Then she was gone and everyone was crying. Gone was our reason to at least pretend to be happy, there was nothing to pretend for now. We sat like that for about 10 minutes until there was an announcement. "House guests, we have received a video for each of you, from your loved ones. Only two of you can see your videos. Who gets to is up to you! Good luck." I looked around horrified. We sat in silence for a moment, taking in the news before Thresh spoke. His deep voice shocked me as he said, "Well, I think Katniss and Clove. But it's up to you lot. Choices?" Cato nodded and agreed instantly, "Right. But Peeta, it's your choice? If you want, you can have one of the spots." Peeta shook his head, "No. Now Rue's gone, I'm probably next. I can live one more day, so Katniss and Clove can see theirs." Clove stood up and made her way over to Cato and me, taking our hands. "Thanks everyone, but guys, what if they only show one of your kids on each video? I don't desperately need to see my family, but I heard you two crying until 2 last night. Show your videos. Ok?" The others nodded and Cato kissed Clove on the cheek, whispering, "Thanks so much. All of you. We just wanna see our babies." Then a massive screen lowered and Cato came to sit by me, pulling me onto his lap and cradling me close as we watched. Mine came first and it was a video of Prim, holding Peeta and telling us about how everyone was reacting to the house. Then came Cato's video and we saw Steph, sitting there, without Clove. We both stood up. "Fuck. Where is she?" Steph began to talk, explaining that our baby girl was desperately ill, on the verge of death and suddenly there was a high pitched keening sound. It wasn't until Clove hugged me that I realised the sound was me. I was screaming and I couldn't stop.
