All the distracts got to be in free choice together.
I grabbed a sword.
The guards went to get the dummies.
Katniss started walking towards me.
The bows were right beside the swords.
"Care to tell me why you're ignoring me?" She whispered as she was deciding on a bow.
"I'll tell you. Just not now. Tonight. Your room. Okay?"
"I leave the door unlocked."
She smiled and walked away.
"Stop staring at her ass, Cato. Put yourself together." Marvel said.
I couldn't even handle my emotions anymore.
Marvel moved two seconds before I sliced the dummy he was resting on into pieces.
"So all we have to do is to make him mad about Katniss and he becomes this beast. Okay." Marvel whispered to Glimmer.
I ran over to Marvel.
"GUARDS WE NEED YOU!" Glimmer screamed.
I had my hands around his neck.
"Cato, stop" Clove said.
Katniss turned around and saw the whole thing.
All the veins in my neck were popping out.
Sweat was falling off of my face like a shower.
His face was turning purple.
I heard several pairs of feet following me.
Katniss wrapped her arms around my waist, trying to pull me back.
It wasn't helping.
Marvel smiled.
He fucking smiled when she came by.
The guards grabbed my arms and pulled them off of Marvel's neck.
He gasped for air.
Then he laughed.
"Shut the hell up, Marvel!" I yelled as the guards were dragging me away.
Katniss was following me and the guards, with another bow and quiver.
"You're going to practice archery right now Cato." One of the guards said.
They walked off in sync.
More than likely they are going to ask the other Careers what happened.
They are going to feed them lies.
Except maybe Clove won't.
Katniss hit my arm again.
"What the hell was that?"
I ignored her and got a bow from the quiver.
I set the bow up and let it go.
It missed the bulls-eye.
"Dammit." I whispered.
Katniss put her arm on my shoulder.
That's when I told her something I never thought I would.
"I can't keep the promise."
She looked at me like a building had just fallen on her.
"What?"
Tears were forming in her eyes.
"I'll explain later okay? I promise."
I reached for her hand.
She pulled away and walked off.
I hate myself now.
