"Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe"
-Sia "Breathe Me"

Cato leaves hours later and when Clove got back from another heart breaking goodbye at the train station to find a letter; from the capital. It reads "Dear Mrs. Sevina, we all at the capital would love for you to launch your own throwing knife line. Your train leaves at 8:00 tonight. We will have a car pick you up from the train station and drive you to the Victors hotel to spend the night there then a car will pick you up at 9:00 am and take you to the studio.
-President Snow"
"Snow." She whispers to herself, why would Snow of all people send her a letter? Whatever. Cato should be staying at that hotel maybe she could find him there. With the happy thought of seeing her love again she trots upstairs and packs, eats a small meal then walks to the train station. When she gets to the capital she almost vomits but she holds it in "I'll see Cato in 15 minuets." Letting that stay on repeat in her head she hops in the car, small bag in hand the 15 grueling minuets roll by and he arrives to the hotel. Something feels off, she walks up the grand stair case when a man approaches her he says he know where Cato is. The next thing she knows she feels a blow to the back of her head and wakes up in a strange room on a bed with an older man standing over her. He hits her and hits her, eventually taking all her clothes off (but her underwear) he punches her, over and over again till she plays as the weak pray and he's the predator. He got up to take his pants off and she kicks him in the groin, a foul vocabulary and mean things (that she doesn't want to be able to make out) spill out if his mouth. Clove takes this as her opportunity to run. She quickly grabs the sheet and runs up a few flights of stairs. "Cato!" She screamed pounding on some door "Cato!" She screamed with more desperation as she pounded on yet another door. Somewhere a few floors up there he was, he heard her but he thought he was just hearing things. Then there it was again "Cato! Cato! Cato!" He fled the room where the cake faced woman was getting undressed and ran yelling her name back. She was now on the stairs yelling for him still wrapped in the sheet. He heard her screams of misery coming from the stairs and ran down six flights if stairs until he found her. A bloody crying mess. With red marks on her face and wrists. She fell in to him and he sat down on the stairs. Clove just cried and cried into his chest until he stopped her. "Clover? Baby what happened?" He says with the tone someone would use if they were approaching a wounded animal. "C-Cato, I-I think some capital person just raped me." She says very shakily. "Clove, tell me you're joking right now or I'll go rip his fucking head off." He says with his anger increasing. She looks into his eyes with her big innocent ones and shakes her head. "Where is he?" He asks trying to hide is anger. "Cato I-" "No Clove, he needs to pay for what he did. What did he do to you?" He asks, his anger turning to sorrow for her. She closes her eyes and starts to speak "I was walking up to my room because snow sent me here for something... I can't remember what it is now. But then this man approached me and said he knew where you were and I wanted to see you because I'm stupid. And he hit me on the back of my head, knocking me out then I woke up on the bed where he kept trying to take my clothes off but I kept refusing and that's when he threw the first punch then it was one after another all over my body until I stopped moving. Eventually he got everything but my underwear off." Her voice becomes shakier with every word now "and he said 'You know it's hot right? Taking Catos property to play with then once I've had my fill I will give it back to him. The hot part is you're so easy.' Then he started touching me and when he got up to take his pants off I grabbed the sheet and ran for you." The tears start streaming down her face as she finishes and buries her head in Catos chest again and he strokes her messy hair. "Clover, I'm going to need you to tell me were this mans room is." He says as soft as he can. "I can't remember." She says into his chest. "I'm going to need you to try real hard." He responds. "She closes her eyes real tight and pictures herself running from the room. "Room 513b" "Okay, I'm going to need you to stay here for about twenty minuets ok?" She was left shivering in just a sheet on a stair case in a random hotel in the capital. She laughs at her self, how silly this must seem to someone who's only seen her on TV or at elite party's, the strong beautiful Clove Sevina: warped in a sheet all alone, crying. Cato comes back and the look in his eyes tell her not to ask what happened back in that room. He picks her up bridal style and carries her back to his room, on the way there she falls asleep. When he gets to his room he lays her on the bed and holds her waiting for her nightmares to come shrieking in the night. He softly whispers "I love you more than you will ever know."
