Authors Note… Again I am so sorry for the late update, I don't know that you guys review until days later I don't know why but I do. Anyway it's been a pretty crazy week. I have to finish an essay today that do tomorrow in class so depending on when I get finished with that is going to determine if I update 2 chapters tonight to make up for the delay in updating. Another thing I want to address is that I am so thankful for the followers and reviews I love you all and hope that you all enjoy my story. So here ladies and gentlemen is Chapter 7.

Cato POV

As I lie in bed and recount the events that happened to day I can't help but smile. The look on Katniss' face was beyond amazing, the way she smiled, and giggled. I wouldn't mind looking at that for the rest of my life. She is really something special and I will not let her go again, this time I will show her that she is prefect and deserves to be treated like a princess no matter how suborn she is.

When I wake up I get a shower and get dressed but not before texting Katniss.

Good morning beautiful. I send

Any other day I would of called men pussies if they sent their girlfriend that but when I get around Katniss I become a different Cato; a nicer, caring, loving one. This will only be directed towards her, anyone else I could give a fuck about. As long as Katniss is happy then so am I.

I grab an apple and get in my car and drive to the gym, after my usual 3 hour intense work out I check my phone and see that Katniss still hasn't texted me back which is odd because she is normally a fast texter. I call her and it immediately goes to voicemail. I begin to worry but shake it off; maybe she didn't charge her phone last night. I try to shake off the feeling that something is wrong but I just have to make sure.

I leave the gym after a quick shower and drive over to Katniss' house. I knock on her door but don't get an answer. I look and I see that he car in the drive way so I begin to grow confused. Why is she ignoring me? I continue pounding on the door, calling her name begging her to open up. I'm about to turn away to give up when I hear a loud bang come from inside her house, I kick in her door and look around to see everything perfectly fine. But I don't see Katniss; I go upstairs and walk into Katniss' room only to find her in the corner hugging her legs, rocking back in forth. I am at her side in a second.

"Katniss?" I whisper. "Baby, what's wrong?" she doesn't answer, all she does is shake her head back and forth. I go to grab her arm and she flinches a part of me is both hurt that she flinched away from me but also curious on why she is acting like this. Taking a chance I pick her up and set her on her bed, she doesn't look at me she just stares off into space. I keep pleading with her to talk to me, to tell me why she is acting like this but it's no use so I put my arms around her and pull her close, rubbing circles in her back and whispers soothing words in her ear. I don't know how long we stay like this but next thing I know it's dark outside. I keep trying to think of possible ways on why she might be acting like this.

"He's never going to go away." Her voice breaks me out of deep thought. I kiss the top of her head.

"Who baby?" I ask cautiously.

"Marvel." She says barely audible. I almost begin to ask who marvel is but then something clicks in my head and I immediately know who she is talking about.

"He was here… He knows where I live… It's happening all over again." Her voice cracks before she can finish her sentence. I sit up pissed the fuck off that he is still having this effect on her and I want nothing more than to just break every bone in his disgusting body.

"Katniss listen to me." I say trying to keep the harshness out of my voice, she looks up at me and she can tell that I'm about to lose it.

"That motherfucker won't lay a finger on you, I won't let it happen." I take her hands in mine. "I will protect you no matter what" I wipe the tears off of her face. Her phone rings when she says 'hello' I can see the fear in her eyes and I immediately know who the person on the other side of the phone is, I take the phone away from her and walk out into the hallway so she is out of earshot.

"Listen here you son of a bitch, come near Katniss again and I will personally make your life a living hell. If you so much as contact Katniss again I will find you, break all the bones in your body one by one, cut off you're limbs and send each body part to a member of your family. As a matter of fact I might just grind up your body, and make a nice meal for your family. Don't think about Katniss, I don't want you to breathe the same air as her. Because what you did to her I will do 10x worse to you if I ever see you, so fuck off and leave my girl alone. Do I make myself clear?" I growl into the phone. I wait for a response but never get one so I hang up and go back to Katniss.

"Come on." I say to her as I take her hand and lift her up.

"Where are we going?" She questions.

"Well I'm going to go fix your door then I'm going to come up her and help you pack your things because you're moving in with me. If this bastard knows where you live then you're not safe here." I kiss her cheek and walk down stairs.

Nobody messes with my girl.

Authors Note: Soooo what did you think. I was thinking of doing a Katniss POV later on tonight but like I said that counts on if I get my essay done, but I hope you guys like this chapter I know its short but I really need to get started I love you all and hope that you review.!
