4 years later

Cato had just began his fourth year of training the Academy and it was brutal. They would train all day and only be allowed a few hours of sleep. Having feelings at all was frowned upon,because it apparently mad you look weak. The only thing that willed him to keep going was his best friend Katniss, who just so happened to be the girl of his dreams. He was allowed to visit her every three months so that meant that tomorrow he would be on a train to District 12 to go visit Katniss. The only good thing that came out of training was that Cato got to use the sword,which just so happened to be his favorite weapon.

Cato woke up early the next morning due to the amount of excitment that he could feel rushing through his veins. They arrived at the a very crowded train station at around ten o'clock. They had almost missed their train but they had jumped on to it just as it pulled out of the station.

They arrived in District 12 two days later. He couldn't wait to see Katniss again. He ad missed her so much over the last couple months. He couldn't wait until they were back in the woods and hunting without a care in the world.

The train sudenly began to slow,the horizon became filled with trees and Cato knew that he was just minutes away from Katniss. He tried to think about what the first thing he would say to her, maybe he could open with a knock knock joke. No that was to nerdy. Maybe he could say that she looked amazing...but that might make him seem like a stalker."Now stopping in District 12" a disembodied voice said. Cato could feel himself bouncing up and down in his chair, he almost couldn't cotain his excitment.

He got up and ran to the window. The train station was more crowded than usual but his blue eyes quickly found her grey ones and fire melted ice.

Katniss' P.O.V

I couldn't wait until Cato got here. He was my best friend but I also had a crush on him. sadly I knew that deep down that he would never feel the same way. That isn't important right now. I was on my way to the train station to meet Cato right now and I could feel my excitement coursing through my veins.

By the time that I got to the train station the train was just beginning to pull in. I searched through the train windows until I found his icy blue eyes and the Ice froze the fire.

When he stepped off of the train I gave him the biggest and tightest hug possible. The first thing that I noticed was that he had gained some muscles over the past three months and thefact that he had grown about four inches.

"Cato I missed you so much"I breathed into his slighty sweaty shirt."

" I missed you so much Katniss, The past couple months at the academy have been brutal,but now we get to just have fun and relax"He whispered in my ear.

I grabbed his hand and dragged him through the ever growing crowd towards the fence. WE stopped right in front of it to make sure that it wasn't electrified,which it wasn't. When we entered the woods I grabbed my bow from the inside of a hollowed out log and Cato went to go grab his sword.

I loaded my bow and scanned the area for my first piece of prey. My eyes landed on a slightly overweight groosling. I began to follow it when I heard Cato's alarmed vocie telling me not to move but since I thought that he was joking I took a huge step to the right. I ran into a big furry wall. I felt sharp pains shoot through my back right before I blacked out.
