DISCLAIMER: I am not a copier and a lot of Hunger Games Clato fics are the same. It is hard to make one completely different when there are soo many out there. Disclaimer to Collins, I don`t own the characters names or the Hunger Games plot, only their back stories personalities and behind the scenes ideas.

IMPORTANT READ!: I have another account called Clovenizer, I think I have it as my favorites. I actually reviewed on the story I wrote lol I was trying to be funny check it out! The story is called Bedtime Storries.

Cato`s POV

I smile at Thresh as I punch him in the face. "Though you could kill her and get away with it?" I ask, wiping away the blood that pours out of Thresh`s mouth with my jacket. Thresh lets me punch him for a while before he throws me off him. He lands on me and starts punching me too. I reach for my sword but Thresh stops me; he knows that once I have my sword there is no hope for him. I definitely don`t show mercy, especially when he killed her. I reach up to punch him but he grabs my wrist and snaps it. I sure that my arm would throb in pain that tears might threaten to spill I am too far away from sanity to even real that it is broken. The only thing about my wrist that I notice that it is my bad arm and I am happy about that, I don`t think I could support holding a sword feeling in my wrist or not.

The fight goes on for what must be a day, I can`t tell because the rain still pours down and the sky stays dark. We punch each other and throw rocks. I eventually get fed up and I lunge for my sword. I grab it with my good hand and swing it around in front of me. I look up to see Thresh running. I snarl and take off after him, running as fast as my run down legs can carry me. I run and run on after him, I run for what seems like hours before Thresh finally stop and fall to the ground. I look past his shoulder to see Mia standing in front of Thresh. There is a bright red knife in her hand. I am briefly sad that I didn't kill him when I hear faint moans coming from Thresh's body. I smile and glance around at the under growth. I spot a rock not far off and I lean over and pick it up. It is about the size of my hand, the size of the one that killed my beloved Clove. I lift the rock above Thresh`s head and with only two words let it go. "For Clove" I yell and the next thing I know Thresh`s cannon has sounded.

I reach down and grab the two bags off of Thresh`s limp body. The delicately hold the one that says 2 on it I fling the other bag over my shoulder, it is as if this little bag with the 2 hold a piece of Clove in it. I turn and look at Mia who is eyeing me cautiously while slowly backing away. "I won't kill you' I surprise myself by saying "I want to be dead anyway, might as well insure that Lover Boy and Fire Girl win". Mia nods slowly "We can both plan our deaths; I will die before you by Night lock berries that death is always quick". I nod slowly and side by side Mia and I make our way to the woods.

We walk a while not really going anywhere. I eventually stop and look over at Mia who walks with her head straight down. "We need to split up, we can die on our own in our own way" I say. She just nods, breaks into a run and disappears into the woods. I still can`t believe that I am going to help district 12 win but I guess my need to be with Clove is stronger than my need to kill them and win.

The next day's cannon announces Mia`s death. By then I am sitting on the ground just starring at the bags in front of me, them both not opened. After the cannon I find myself wondering about Mia. Did Mia die by berries or at Katniss`s hands? Either way it doesn't matter so I don`t need to worry over it. I decide then that I am going to open the bags and collect whatever is in them. I find some kind of hard armor that looks like skin. I almost scream when I see the one that must be for Clove, I stuff it back in the bag. In Thresh`s bag there is a container full of food and a sword. I sheath the sword and eat all the food, I don`t even stop when my stomach hurts from fullness. I turn my eyes to my ruined wrist, How am I ever going to make do with this before I die? Just on cue a silver parachute lands at my feet. I grab it and peel it open. Inside there is a needle with a note.

Don't give up yet –C

I fake a knowing smile towards the sky so that the audience thinks I lied to Mia so that she would kill herself. I slowly stand up; the game makers will probably make me eventually move on anyways. I decide to hunt for district 12, if I find them I won't do anything and if I do the thing I will be doing is killing myself.

I wander around for the rest of the day, not stopping to take rest or drink water. The only thing that is on my mind is Clove. I think of her smile, laugh, eyes and personality I realize now that I took having someone as wonderful as her for granted, she was my other half. I hope and I pray that Clove died peacefully, I hope that she forgave me for all my faults. I hope that she knows that I love her where ever she is and I hope that she knows that I would never ever have the will to hurt her.

I freeze when I hear rustling in the branches beside me. I turn around just in time to see a wolf like creature burst out of the trees. The wolf has long fur and emerald green eyes, her collar says 1 on it, and it can only be Glimmer. I don`t stop to think about the mutts resemblance to the tributes, what I do is turn around and run. I cannot die like this, the one thing I will do for Clove is die at least fake trying. I run and run, the rain has finally stopped and the sun started to go down. I guess the game makers just want to end this.

I run for miles, the sweat pouring down my face and my lunges burning with exertion.

Cloves POV

The next vision is not really a vision but it is like I am back in the Hunger Games, the Hunger Game is still going on and I am just here to observe. I watch as Cato runs away from a pack of wolves that strangely look like all the dead tributes. Fear shoots through me every time one almost gets Cato, I actually scream on time when Cato begins to slow down a bit.

I watch as Cato comes barrelling onto the field where the cornucopia stands. Fire Bitch and Traitor are standing together. I slap myself mentally KATNISS is her name. I watch as Katniss shoots at Cato but the arrow just bounces off him, he must be wearing some kind of armor. I gap at him, he is drenched in sweat and blood, his wrist is obviously broken and he has a wild look in his eyes that can only mean he has gone insane, I have never seen someone's eyes look that way before. His eyes are dark blue, they are shinny and bright but dull at the same time, they are vicious but kind and it looks like he is distant like he is in another world.

I run beside as he dashes for the cornucopia. I climb to the top just after Cato. At the top I run into him but he doesn't notice I am not here to him. I watch silently as Katniss and Peeta climb the cornucopia, Katniss eventually realizes the significance of the mutts and Cato eventually catches his breath. I scream when Peeta and Cato fight, I scream when I see that Cato is not fighting his hardest. Eventually Cato has Peeta in a headlock while Katniss points an arrow at his head. I frown as I watch the situation play on, Cato has apparently committed suicide or he is just having a brain fart, there is absolutely no way he can win this. Cato then starts to speak, his voice raspy and dull, not the wonderful voice that I would long to listen to everyday. "Shoot me and he goes down with me" Cato says with a fake laugh I am sure I am the only one that is able to detect its fake, only I have heard the real one. I watch as Peeta's lips start to turn blue while Katniss ponders her brain for a way out. What happens next makes scream, one second Peeta is drawing a bloody X on Cato`s hand and now Cato is plunging down into the mutts teeth.

"Please Clove" Cato says to me with a scoff "I would never be so stupid to let myself die, to put myself in a fatal position". Another promise never kept. "Sweetheart you know that we would never go into the same Games". I guess I can`t blame Cato for that one, how was he to predict that we would be in the same games, and finally. "I promise I will win for you" those are the promises that Cato made and never kept. Again I don`t blame Cato for these broken promises, I blame the stupid capitol.

Epilogue: Cato pulls Clove in a hug then Kiss, twirling her in the air admiring her beauty. The fact that he is with her is over whelming, the joy he feels makes him full and sane again. I guess all Cato needed was to be with Clove and for Clove to be with Cato. They are two halves of a puzzle, they will never be separated, and together they stay through the adventures to come.

Here it is the end of not just you. But don`t worry this is not the end though, look for my new Clato fanfic Bedtime Storries and look for the Sequel, yup a SEQUEL called Rebels I wasn't going to make a sequel but I have decided I am going to. With one last request before the next one, I was wondering if you could get this story to 80 reviews? I know that is a lot to ask for and a stretch but I would really appreciate it!
