Chapter 4

"Calm down would you, you're going to kill him with how bad your bloodlust is right now," Brutus said flinging Cato to the other side of the room. "Go drink some blood and then you can have your lover boy."

I blushed at the name. Cato glared and hissed, before walking down the hall way.

"Sorry about that, I didn't want him to kill you. I'm his mentor and teacher at the academy, Brutus. He told me that you were his mate last night, so not only do I have to keep Clove and Cato alive, but you also," he chuckled.

"Hey Peeta," Clove said smiling coming over to me.

"Didn't you hate me earlier?" I asked.

"Yes, but that was before I found out you were Cato's mate. I don't hate you now." She smiled taking a seat beside of me.

"So Peeta, what are your skills?" Brutus asked.

"I-I don't know if I should tell you," I said looking down.

"Everything's going to be ok Peeta; we're on your side. You and Cato being mates gives you our help also. I'm Enobaria," a woman said coming out.

I felt weird this is a lot of vampires. I felt funny being around a bunch of werewolves also. I guess it's because I'd be dead in no time, if they really wanted me dead.

"Give him space, he's scared," I heard Cato say.

He walked back into the room his eyes a lot brighter. Luckily there was no sign of blood anywhere on his face. He sat on my other side and easily moved me on to his lap. He pulled me back, so I was lying against his chest.

"He's scared of a lot of creatures in a small space. And Brutus he's strong for a human and is great with camouflage. I'm teaching him how to use swords," Cato explained.

"Hmm not that many people are great with camouflage. Peeta that could be a great strength for you. Even though you are human, any skill is great," Brutus said smiling at Cato and I.

"I'm going to protect him, so it's not like he has to worry, but so much," Cato said as he kissed my cheek.

I could feel my cheeks burning; I wasn't used to this kind of attention ever in my life. Brutus and Enobaria were going over strategy with us for the next day. Mine and Cato's job was to look menacing at the sword station, scare all of the other tributes. We nodded, before Cato showed me his room. I was allowed to stay here as long as I wanted. At this rate, I wasn't going anywhere near the 12th floor. I blushed as Cato started changing in front of me. He chuckled and went to the dresser.

"Eventually we'll have to get you some clothes. Maybe your stylist can do something," Cato said pulling out a shirt and a pair of shorts.

I quickly changed, not wanting Cato to look at me. His clothes were huge on me and he smirked. He pulled me with him to the bed. He laid down and pulled me down with him. I was lying on his chest and I felt tired.

"Just sleep Peeta, we have more training tomorrow," Cato muttered kissing my head.

That's all it took, before I was knocked out.

The few days we had to train flew by and now we were waiting for our private sessions. Cato's been training me the past few days with different weapons. I'm excellent at swords, according to him. I was sitting next him as everyone waited. I looked up and around, Katniss was glaring at me. I gulped Cato and his excellent hearing heard me. He looked down at me and over to where I was looking. He smirked at Katniss, that smirk of his means he's up to something. He turned to me and pushed his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. Cato's extremely possessive of me and makes sure everyone knows that I belong to him. He pulled away and pulled me to his side.

"That'll piss her off for a while," Cato chuckled.

Soon they started calling people inside starting with Glimmer. Time went by quickly and soon it was Cato's turn. He kissed the top of my head, before going in. I was alone now, so I kept to myself, I didn't want any trouble. Soon it was only Katniss and I. Katniss walked by me to enter the training center.

"Shoot straight," I said sarcastically, she glared at me.

I waited a few minutes, before I was called in. I walked in and saw that they were all actually paying attention to me. I nodded and went to the spears; I was going to use swords last.

"Peeta Mellark, District 12, human," I said hearing a few gasps.

I threw the spear sending it through the dummy. I got a few impressed gasps; considering I'm human I must be good. I went over to the camouflage station and started working on my arm. I focused my attention to the detail. When I was finished, I put my arm against the tree and it blended in perfectly. Then I ran to the sword station. I picked up the pure silver sword that Cato's been training me with. I started slashing away at the dummies getting instant kills.

"Thank you Peeta Mellark," Seneca Crane said nodding at me.

I nodded back, before walking out. I went to the elevator pushing the up button. The elevator doors opened and there was Cato leaning against the back wall.

"How'd it go?" he asked.

"Ok I guess, what are you doing?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Waiting on you," he said pulling me in the elevator.

He pushed the 2 button and held me in his arms.

"Do you think we're moving too fast?" I asked.

"We'll move however fast you want to."

"Can we move just a little slower, please?" I asked turning to look at him.

"Alright, but I have something's that need to be agreed on. I still get to hold you and kiss you," he said looking me in the eye.

I nodded letting him hold me closer to him. When the doors opened to the 2nd floor we walked out. We watched TV, until dinner was served. I've grown used to seeing them drink blood. Cato hates when I make him go brush his teeth though. After dinner we were all sitting around the TV waiting on our scores. Clove was practically jumping in her seat. It's cute; she's so young and acts it, when she's around people she likes. Otherwise she's going to kick your ass. Marvel and Glimmer joined us, along with their mentors Gloss and Cashmere. Cashmere was exactly like Glimmer, which annoyed me greatly. Gloss was the complete opposite, he was quiet and relaxed I liked him. Caesar came on the TV starting off with District 1. First it showed Marvel and gave him a 9. Glimmer was next with an 8. They quickly changed to Cato who had a 10. Clove was next with a 10 to match. Said girl was still jumping in her seat. We all watched the others come across the TV. The District 4 tributes weren't very good and I knew they would be killed quickly. The other scores were the same. District 11's Thresh got a 10, he was a shape shifter and you had to be careful with them. After the little girl got a 7 my picture was on the screen.

"District 12's Peeta Mellark with a score of 10" Caesar said making my eyes widen.

Cato hugged me to him; I knew that he was happy. All of his training got me an amazing score. I smiled and kissed him, I felt like he deserved it.

"District 12's Katniss Everdeen with a score of 11," Caesar shouted making us pull away.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Cato yelled making me cringe.

That bitch would get an 11.
