Surprises
The platforms rose, the cornucopia came into sight. Katniss's heart was pounding as she stole glimpses of the goodies inside the metal structure. Her heart jumped into her throat as she laid eyes on a bow and arrow her bow and arrow. But behind her was her sanctuary, a woods in which she could be safe. But she needs supplies, she needed something. So when the counter reached 0 she sprinted forward just like everyone else. She reached for an orange bag and turned and ran.
A boy with a huge ax grabbed her leg though and she was pulled to the ground. She looked up in horror before a knife took him down, the female from District 2 Clove. Clove then went to throw a knife at her and Katniss's eyes went wide. The next thing she saw though was the shock of the girl as something came in contact with her back. Katniss watched as she fell and Cato pulled a sword from inside of her.
"Y-you just killed her," Katniss whispered.
"I know," he stepped over her body and pulled Katniss from the ground to stand beside him. "Let's get you your bow," he said grabbing her arm and rushing towards the spot where it was perched. Most of the tributes who weren't dead at the cornucopia were gone but Katniss was able to take a few of the stragglers out.

"There's only three of us left," Katniss whispered to Cato.
"I'm aware of that," Cato said looking down at her.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"You're a pretty girl, fun and sweet but I need to go home. I'm sorry," he kissed the top of her head.
"When will you kill me?" she asked.
"Not until it's just you and me baby," he smirked.
"Thresh will be hard to take down though," she said cuddling into his chest where she had spent the rest of her nights.
"I think we can handle him together," Cato smiled at her.
"I wish we could just go back to that dance, stay there forever," she whispered. "These games are a blessing and a curse, without them I never would have met you. But now they're going to take you away. I'll never get to dance with you, or kiss you. Never have any sort of life."
He looked down at her and stood up after a minute. "What are you doing?" Katniss asked as she allowed him to pull them both up.
"You said you wanted to kiss me, to dance with me," he said. He dipped his head and kissed her lips. "So here we go," he said.
They danced and the game makers even put some music throughout the arena. "Katniss," he whispered into her ear.
"Ya?" she said her eyes lulled closed and her head resting on his shoulder.
"I think I love you," he said and her head shot up.
"I think I love you too, I don't usually do emotions but with you," she smiled. "With you it's like I've been free falling and I suddenly hit the ground."
"One more thing," he said using one of his hands to rub her back.
"Yes?" she whispered letting her head rest on his shoulder again.
"I'm so, so sorry," he said just as she felt cold steel touch her back.

AN: Well that's it. Yup Cato killed her…I tried to make it a happy ending but you all kept saying to keep going and this is the only way I saw it ending.
