CATO POV

It's her, it's really her; the girl I fell in love with a year ago. I know what you must be thinking how you fall in love with someone you barely know, I thought the same thing but one look in her eyes and I knew I didn't stand a chance. Yeah I know what else you might be thinking, Cato the hardcore trainer, never shows emotion and will beat any guy to a pulp that challenges him, but that all seems to go away when I look at her I just want to hold her and protect her and I will be damned if I let any asshole touch her again. I wanted to ring that motherfuckers head off that abused her all those years ago.

How can someone take advantage of her the way he did, no women deserves to be treated like that. The one thing my mom always told me was to never lay a harmful hand on a woman, no matter what.

I feel her stir next to me, I feel stupid that I just now realized that she fell asleep even though I swear I've been staring at her this whole time. I get up slowly; not wanting to wake her and I carry her in a bridal style down the hill and start to walk to my house. When I get do my house I easily open the door with one hand, I kick the door shut and I take her upstairs and lay her down. I kiss her forehead and grab a blanket to lay over her, on my way out the door I take one more look at her and it instantly brings back memories.

"Fuck." I curse. I'm late, I'm so fucking late. The match started 20 min ago, if it wasn't for this traffic and them calling me at the last min to fill in because the one dude passed out at the sight of blood. What kind of MMA trainer can't stand the sight of blood?

I come to a stop light and I look at the traffic in front of me and I decided I might as well taken the long way but the way the traffic looks, I'll get there much faster going this way. I drive down a road and start speeding, something out of the corner of my eye catches my attention as I pass a house, and I stop and back up and realize that it's a person.

A Women.

I get out of my car, knowing that there's no way that I'm going to pretend that I didn't see her, I pick her up and put her in the backseat of my car. I make a U-turn to go to my house and as I'm driving I think that I should just take her to the hospital, but what am I going to say… 'Oh hey, I found this chick in a yard unconscious, beaten up, so here you go'. I take a look at her threw my re-view mirror and I realize that she is beautiful, even with the scars. I decided not to go to the hospital because the police around here won't do shit if she tells them what happens after she gets released out of the hospital, the police think that no one in Panmen is ever capable of doing something bad. Bullshit. I turn into my drive way and pick her out of backseat being extremely careful, when I get inside and lay her down on the couch I see that she is starting to wake up.

"Miss? Miss, can you hear me?" I say in whisper not wanting to startle her.

She takes one look of me and her eyes widen, looks around frantically trying to figure out where she is, I put a hand on her arm and she recoils and I immediately remove my hand.

"Don't worry; I'm not going to hurt you." She stares at me for a while; I can see her in eyes that she is trying to find the quickest way out of here.

"You're free to leave whenever but you have some cuts that I think I can help with." Before I can even finish my sentence, she passes out again. She looks like she hasn't eaten in days, she's probably dehydrated. I pick her up deciding that the best bet was to give her a shower. I slowly undress her, not wanting to cause her more pain I wash down her body, she is absolutely beautiful. But this is not the time to think about that, this girl has obviously been through hell and doesn't need to think that I'm trying to do something inappropriate with her, I would never take advantage of women that way. After I'm done I dry her off and put her in some of my sweats and lay her down on my bed with some covers over her.

I go downstairs to fix her something to eat. I look at my phone and see 10 missed calls. Shit I forgot all about the match, I call back the manager and tell him that something came up and that I'm not going to be able to make it. I hang up and get started on fixing her something to eat I go with one of my favor things as a child to eat, grilled cheese with tomato soup. I head back upstairs and I see that she is already awake. I put the food down next to her and see that she took off the covers, obviously she got hot so I get a my favorite blue blanket that always made me feel safe, I put it around her. I'm surprised that she isn't thrashing around trying to get away.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I swear"

She looks at me and I see that it's hard for her to talk, and that's when I notice the marks on her neck probably from being strangled I clench my fist, trying to stay calm, not wanting to scare her so I get a bottled water out of the mini fridge in my room, open it for her and hand it to her. She takes it gladly and starts eating; after she is done I pick up the stuff to take it downstairs and she drifts off to sleep, I smile because she just looks so peaceful and gorgeous. I walk out of the room and go downstairs and wash the dishes, after I am done I punch the wall as hard as I can.

How can someone do that to a woman, I know that she's been through hell just by looking at her. Not wanting to punch more holes in the wall and end up waking her and scaring her to death, I lie down on the couch and stare at the ceiling thinking about the beautiful girl upstairs and how someone has to be really fucked up in the head to treat a girl like this. I eventually fall asleep and my dreams are filled with the mystery girl.

"Sweet dreams Katniss." And with that I walk out the room knowing that she's safe and will protect her no matter what it takes.

Authors Note: I know it's on the short side but I really wanted you guys to get Cato's POV on how he met Katniss and a lil bit of his back story. I would also love to do another Cato POV but only if you guys want that, so review and tell me what you think and also review and tell me if you want to see Cato POV more often.
