Hey Guys! Sorry that I haven't been on in a while been very busy. Please Review and thank you so much for reading my story! I decided to change the dress to black but I kept the flames hope that is okay. I do not own the Hunger Games. All rights go to Suzanne Collins!

Cato POV

I watched as the girl from 12 walked up on the stage and looked at the crowd. She didn't look weak like most of the tributes that came from District 12. I would never admit this to Clove or my mentors but I find her extremely attractive.

I think about how she volunteered for her sister and I think about my brother and how I am going in so he won't have to.

I think of how strong she seems even though on the inside she is scared shitless.

I think of how her steel grey eyes pierce the crowd. I think of how she is determined to get home to her sister.

I think about how I see her attractive and how I shouldn't.

I walk into the dining room and sit next to Clove. She is sitting beside me twirling the steak knife.

" Clove were not in the Games yet no need to kill the wall or you know any of us" I say with a smirk.

" Shut up Cato" she says back to me then smiles.

I have known that Clove has liked me for a while so I really don't want it to slip that I like Katniss because then that would give Clove and the careers yet another reason to go after her. I think about her and I realize that I am getting this grin on my face.

" What are you so happy bout Cato" Clove asks with her mouth full. " Just thinking about how you and I are going to kill this competition" I reply with a grin. She points her knife at me and says" That we are,." I finish the meal and think about the opening ceremony tomorrow. I

walk up to the roof and sit there thinking about the last couple of days and how I never thought that I would find someone from 12 so attractive much less in the Hunger games.

I sit there looking at all the lights of the capitol thinking that because of Katniss this may be the last time I see anything like this again.

I take in the Twinkling of the sky and think of how much I am going to miss it.

Katniss POV

I look out the window as we arrive in the capitol.

It is so much bigger then it looks on TV.

I think that If it wasn't where I was going for the sick twisted peoples entertainment I might actually find it pretty.

I think that I can win this thing for Prim. If it wasn't for Prim then I wouldn't want to win because that would mean I would be a puppet and I would just be sending more kids into that arena.

If I came back then I would be a mentor and I would do the thing that I hate the most and that would be obeying the capitol.

I see Effie waving us over and telling us this man is going to get me ready for the opening ceremonies.

" Hello my name is Cinna and I am going to be your designer for the rest of the time that you are here" he said with a small smile. " It's nice to meet you my name is Katniss" I said with a small smile of my own.

He dressed me in a black dress that had flames shooting out of the back. I got on the chariot with Peeta and we started moving.

I started waving to the crowd as Effie had suggested I do.

People were screaming my name and the more I waved the more they ate it up.

I thought this was ridiculous because in a few days I was being sent to my death but hey whatever to get the help of these people right?

Cato's POV

" I can't believe that the little slut is stealing all our sponsors" Clove seethed. I clutched the chariot that I was in before answering her" Clove we have plenty of people that will sponsor us let them think that they are going to get sponsors"

I told her not revealing my real feeling about her comment. " Fine" she huffed. As soon as we ended are discussion President Snow started his speech.

During the speech I sneak a look at Katniss and notice that she has the same hard expression that she had when she was first volunteered. I look back at Snow because I would not want him to think that I was disrespectful.

I decided that I was going to talk to her after the end of the ceremony.

The Ceremonial speech seemed to drag on and when it was finally over I waited a few minutes before going over to talk to Katniss. I

started walking towards her and I smiled when I thought about talking to her.

Katniss POV

He was walking over towards me. I didn't know why he was coming over here but I knew that I really wanted him to.

As I saw him getting closer I began to get more nervous. " Hey 12" he yelled as he got closer to me. " What do you want 2 " I answered back with a smirk.

" I just wanted to introduce myself to you because I mean I saw you staring at me during the ceremony" he says cockily smirking at me.

" Wow Cocky and conceited" I smirked as I walked away. " Hey Katniss" he asked. " Yeah" I asked him turning around surprised that he took the time to learn my name.

" I'll be seeing you" he said with a smirk of his own. " Whatever" I answered turning back to walk away. I walked over to where Peeta was " What the hell was that about" he asked angrily. "

None of your business" I answered back annoyed. " It is my business because you are my partner" he said. " Yeah Peeta your district partner not anything else" I said looking him in the eye.

" Well Katniss I like you" he said. " Peeta can we not do this now please okay" I said walking Towards Haymitch.

Between Cato talking to me and Peeta telling me that he liked me I needed to go to my room and be alone and sleep.

" Oh this is going to be a long week" I thought to myself
