The Next Morning

Normal POV

Cato woke up to find the bed empty. He looked around the room and found a note on the dresser. He picked it up and read it. It said,

"Dear My Dark Angle,

If you found this letter, then that means I left already. Sorry. I promised Haymitch, my mentor, that I would be back before 2:00 so he could train me before the individual session. Also I baked some nice bread for you. Hope you like it. I will see you later.

Love Your Baker,

Peeta"

Cato smiled and put the note down. He had to get ready for the day.

With Peeta

Peeta was currently sitting with Katniss and Haymitch. They were discussing what to do when the game starts.

Haymitch said, "Okay. So when the bell rings, run straight for the forest. The Cornucopia will become a blood bath. You do not want to get caught in that. After that, head to water. Keep yourself hydrated."

Katniss asked, "What if we don't have to. I mean Peeta is in line with the Career tributes. We won't have to worry about being killed."

Peeta said, "Last time I checked, I was the one who asked to join them. You did not because you were to busy try to flirt with other members."

Haymitch said, "Okay. That's enough. I believe that it is time for the individual sessions. Get dressed in five minutes and be down there in ten." With that he left and Peeta went to his room. He did not even bother to stop when Katniss called out his name. He slammed the door in her face.

Down in the training area.

Peeta and Katniss were going to be the last ones to go. While they were waiting, Peeta went up to district 2 and sat with them. They began to talk about random stuff until Cato was called.

Peeta said, "Good luck. Don't forget to show them your sword skills." Cato smiled and went in. A few minutes later he came out and Clove was called in.

Cat bent down and whispered in his hear, "Good luck to you too. Don't forget to show them how strong you are. See you later. Remember come up to floor 2." With that Cato left. After about an hour later, Peeta was called in. When he went in, the Gamekeepers were drunk off their asses.

He sighed and went to the weights. He picked one up and threw it as far as he could. It went about four feet before it crashed into the swords. He continued doing this until his time was over.

As he came out, he told Katniss, "Don't forget to shoot straight." And he left.

With District 2

When Peeta came up, he was jumped with questions, mainly from Clove and Jennifer, who was known as Foxface from District 5. Some of the questions were "How did you do?" "Did Katniss give you any trouble?" "Is it true that you and Cato are together?" Marvel from District 1 said, "Alright people let him be." Cato came through the small crowd and pulled Peeta into his arms.

Cato said, "Yes. Peeta and I are very well together. You will all treat him with respect." Everyone nodded.

Glimmer then spoke up, "Alright people. We came here to discuss our plan of action. So here is what will happen. Peeta, you will tell everyone that you fell in love with Katniss. This will probably give you sponsors. Then when the games begin, we won't go after her right away though, you will run into the forest and we will meet up with you later. You will pretend that we captured you and forced you to help us find Katniss. When we do find her, we will tie her up and torture her in front of you. You will try to stop us but fail, as Cato will hold you down. And please forgive me for saying this but I think it would be best if Cato "rapes" you in front of her to prove that there is no way that your love can help you. We will then have some one here rape her in front of you and you will try and beg for us to stop. We will say no and then kill her."

Everyone was silent for a few minutes before Clove spoke, "That is a good plan. But how about we have Peeta rape Katniss while Cato "rapes" him?"

Jennifer said, "Everyone in favor of this plan raise your hand?" Everyone did including Peeta.

Marvel then asked, "But is both Peeta and Cato okay with this?"

Peeta said, "I am willing. Besides, I kind of like it rough."

Cato said, "I am fine with it."

Glimmer said, "Then it is settled then. See you guys in the arena." With that everyone left.

On Floor 12

Peeta just came up before Katniss said, "Where were you? I was so worried when I did not see you up here."

Peeta said, "I was with District 2. We were just talking about stuff." 'And the way we will kill you' he though to himself.

Katniss said, "Well that's okay. Come on. It is time for us to see our scores."

She then dragged him over to the TV and sat him on the couch. Then the announcer began to tell everyone his or her score. It was no surprise that Cato got a 10. When it came to 12, Peeta was surprised that he got an 8. Katniss on the other hand got an 11. While everyone congratulated her, Peeta was thinking, 'another reason to kill you. You will be the target of every person here.'

Finally it was time for the interviews. Both Katniss and Peeta were dressed up. They went down and got online. This time Peeta would be the last to go. When Cato is called up, he is asked if he likes anyone. He says that there is only one person that truly holds his heart, but he refuses to say whom. Finally it was Katniss's turn. After her came Peeta. He is called up. He shakes Caeser Flickerman's, the reporter, hand and sits down. Then the questions are asked. The finally question was that if there was anyone he liked. He then said that the person he liked was here with him. Of course people got sympathetic with him.

When he returned to the penthouse, Katniss comes up and attacks him, say that he made her look weak. Haymitch said that they should act like this because it could get them sponsors. Little did they know, that everything was going according to plan to kill Katniss. They just didn't realize it yet. Peeta then went to bed and slept through the whole night.
