Guys this is going to be a bit of a filler chapter and I'm sorry about that but there are things coming don't worry, they may take a little while but they're coming. Carry on.
I wake up feeling, weird, drugged even. My pillow felt hard and for some reason I didn't want to get up, maybe it was because it was warm.
I remember waking up every day in my little cage feeling at least a little bit cold but today was different, I felt warm and fuzzy and didn't want to get up.
So I buried deeper into the warmth and let sleep take me away again.
When I wake up for a second time I assume it's a couple of hours later and the thing that I notice first is the warmth, or lack thereof.
The warmth that enveloped me was now gone and I felt cold and hurt. My throat hurt, my head hurt, most of my body hurt and I have the sinking feeling that Alma was the one who did it.
My memory isn't at its best right now, all I remember is telling Cato she'd hurt me and him denying it. Guess that didn't last long from the way I'm feeling right now.
I look over to see if Cato's here but weirdly enough, he's not, which had me thinking where he could be seeing that he is my babysitter.
I don't get much time to myself because through the door enters Walker looking just like the guard he was.
"Oh, you're awake."
"Yeah, I'm awake. Where's Cato?"
"Nowhere you need to know."
"Gee thanks I'd never think of that on my own." I remark dryly.
What is up with me today? Oh, I know, maybe it's the fact that I have no idea what Alma did to me and also that I can't remember the better part of yesterday.
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with. Now, where's Cato?"
"Probably in a meeting with Snow or simply resting seeing that he spends all his time with you."
"By the way, Girl on Fire, today I'm going to be your babysitter so don't give me much trouble."
"When is he coming back?"
"Later. Drop it."
"Fine. What is it, afternoon by now?"
"Yes. Don't you want food or something?"
"Not hungry."
"Seriously now, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, where to start?" I said rolling my eyes.
"I'm serious. You're usually not this-"
"This what?"
"Bitchy."
"Oh, please. You haven't seen bitchy."
"You know what I'm not going to argue with you, that's Cato's job, not mine so please, behave."
I want to answer him but I just feel sore and want to go back to sleep, when Cato gets here I'll ask him what happens. At least I think he'll be truthful with me but one can only hope, this is Division.
I bury myself under the covers and wait for sleep to take me away but as usual it doesn't last long. I wake up two hours later to see Cato and Walker conversing quietly and they don't notice when I wake up so I take advantage of that and keep my eyes closed to listen in on them.
"Did she give you any trouble?"
I nearly scoff hearing that coming from Cato. I'm not troubling.
"Not really she just woke up, asked about you and went back to sleep. Though there was something wrong with her. What the hell happened yesterday that I now have to do your job while you're doing God knows what."
"What happened and what I've been doing is none of your business, you did your job you're free to go."
I only hear footsteps and a door slamming so I decide it's a good a time as any to 'wake up'.
"Hey Cato. You're back. Where were you all day?"
"Just had some things to do, nothing much. Don't worry about it."
"Fine but I have something to ask you."
As I say this Cato starts walking to the chair on the corner of the room and drags it so that he can sit in front of me nearly touching the glass.
"Ask away Fire Girl."
He says rubbing a hand over his face, his elbows on his knees.
"Please be truthful with me."
"Just ask."
"What happened yesterday?"
At that he looked up so quickly I swear I heard something snap and then we are looking into each other's eyes, mine filled with confusion and questions while Cato's are indecipherable.
"Look, I can't really-"
"Just leave it. I actually thought you'd be truthful but I guess I'll have to find out by Alma."
"Katniss don't start with me-"
"Screw you! You don't get to say that to me! I am sore all over, have no memory of what happened yesterday and I felt drugged when I woke up this morning after you having said that she wouldn't hurt me!"
My little tirade ended with me standing, nearly screaming at him while he avoids eye contact and stays quiet. I can't deal with this anymore but I can't really leave and I'm done with talking to Cato so I just turn away and crawl into bed again.
Tomorrow I'll have another session with Alma and then I'll get some answers. I just hoped Cato would man-up and tell me the truth.
I'm already tucked under the covers when I heard him sigh and footsteps, then I hear Cato's bed groaning under his weight.
