3 : Feelings
Cato's POV
My trainer visits me in the Justice Building. Then my mother with my little sister. I wish my father was still alive to wish me good luck.. But Clove.. I will miss them very much. Especially my little sister. After our visits, they send us to the train that will take us to the Capitol. Faye puts me and Clove in a room and tells us to wait for our mentors.
"Why'd you do that?" asks Clove, looking very confused.
"Because I want to protect you. I want to make sure that you go home. You can't die Clove. You just can't."
"Who said I was going to die?" she snaps at me, "You know I'm the best at knife throwing."
"I just want to make sure. There are twenty four of us and only one comes out alive. I can protect you and make sure that you'll win. I'm a-mazing with a sword."
"You don't believe I'm going to win don't you?"
"It's not that.. It's because.."
"What? What is it Cato?"
"I don't want you to die! I can't live without you! I don't want to lose you. I'd rather die than live without you. I just can't lose you." Damn it. I look down to her and see a surprised look on her face.
Clove's POV
He doesn't want to lose me? What does he mean? There's an awkward silence between us then he says, calming down, "You are my best friend Clove. I don't ever want to lose you." Oh, best friends.. I stare at the wooden table as millions of things go through my mind. Best friend. Cato. Dying. Games. Love. Wait what? I absolutely cannot love Cato. It'd be very wrong.
Our mentors, Brutus and Enobaria go through the door. We get to know each other, our skills and how to get sponsors. "Do you both have someone special back home?" Brutus asks. "Well I don't," I say looking at Cato. He looks back at me and I look away then he says, "I don't either." "That's good. You have to let go of any deep emotional feelings so you can survive the games," Enobaria says. What'd life be like if Cato died and I win the games?
Brutus and Enobaria gets up and tells to gets some rest. We're gonna need it for tomorrow. An avox walks me to my room. I wave at her to signify that she could go and she does. I walk in, change into a blue silk dress and get to sleep.
Cato's POV
"Aaah! Stop! Don't kill me! Please I beg you don't!"
Why the hell is it so noisy? It's like 1 am and someone is screaming at the top of their lungs. I listen more and realize that the screams I've been hearing comes from Clove's room. I get up rapidly and pull some pants on. I was already in front of her door when I forgot to put on a shirt. I knock once and I heard a scream. I open the door and see that she's having a bad dream.
I shake her, "Clove! Wake up Clove!" she lets out a big scream then wakes up and sits up. She looks at me for a short time then hugs me. Mmm. I like this feeling. Hugging the girl I.. I.. I feel comfortable with. I can feel her fast heartbeat slow down as she unlocks her arms around my neck. "Are you okay?" I ask her while patting her back, trying to make her calm down. I notice her eyes. They look scared but they look beautiful. A special purple color. Then I see beads of sweat on her neck and collarbone. "You, Y-You killed me Cato. You were the one who killed me," she says with a shaky voice. "What? You know I won't, Clove. I'd never do that. I'd even protect you." She looks up into my eyes and she says, "Stay here with me, okay Cato?" Of course. I would always stay with you wherever you are. "Yes. Okay, Clover." She lies down on my chest and I wrap my arms around her until she falls asleep and eventually, I do too.
