Chapter 6

Katniss POV

"Peeta…what are you doing?" I whisper quietly.

"I…don't …know." He forced out.

If I can get Peeta to take the pill first would that mean that Clove would be under his control? I didn't really want to use him as a tester but I mean, we're all going to die anyways in a few days…right?

I take one of the pills and shove one right into his mouth before he could respond, he swallowed it and he released me. I take another walk swiftly to a smug Clove and shove one into her mouth too and before she could respond she was on the ground.

Obviously Peeta figured out what I did because he uttered a new trigger word for Clove before turning to me and giving me a swift hug. Clove followed Peeta out of the hospital and I can't believe I'm free.

I don't need to take orders from him anymore.

I grab the whole bottle and make my way back to my apartment. Tomorrow was the day of the interview and I really didn't need to be under someone else's control while taking in some new sponsors.

A plan had already formed in my head when I swallowed the first half. It's important to know your enemy right?

I smirked. Payback time.

Cato POV

Training is hard. But it's the only thing a Career would be comfortable in doing. I've been trained since I was very young and I don't really need sleep and body will function normally. No point in sleeping if all I'm going to be dreaming of Firegirl.

That girl gave me the chills. Even if she was doing something that should be embarrassing, her eyes still burned with hate and a bunch of emotions I couldn't understand.

I threw the rest of the knives directly into the heart of each of the surrounding dummies and I decided that it was time to call it a night and see if I could do more training in my room because they would probably catch me training more than other tributes.

Clove left off on her own with Loverboy, but honestly I could care less. She was always fiercely independent and I'm sure she's taking care of herself. But there is no way she isn't up to no good with that boy.

I wonder what Katniss is doing because after all she did have quite an outburst during the obstacle course.

I shake my head. She is not getting in my head but she gave a damn good blowjob. I take the elevator back up into my apartment and before I could walk into the bathroom a bright note on my pillow caught my attention.

Cato,

Meet me on the roof ;).

-12

I was out the door in an instant thanks to my stupid boy hormones. Why can't there be a class on this stuff? Right. Because this wasn't supposed to happen.

When I arrive on the roof I can sense a presence and when I turn to the balcony I can see a small girl wearing only a bra and panties. Fuck. She is standing on the edge of the balcony and the moonlight is shining down on her chocolate brown locks flowing down instead of in a braid. She really was something. Girls back in Two were all fake and obnoxious, but she was so real.

She must of sensed my presence too because she turned around giving me a shy smile.

Katniss POV

I could feel his presence when he arrived and I let him check me out. True, I may have gone overboard on this "sexy" plan, but I needed to do whatever it took to convince him to take his half of the pill.

I could feel the pill resting on my sensitive tongue, but because I already took one half, it would not be able to take effect until it reaches another.

I decided it's now or never. I turn around and give him one of my best innocent smiles.

He must think I'm craving him or something because he instantly puts his mouth to mine. His soft lips kissing against mine, but I'm more nervous and he can feel it and he starts to hold me on his lap. Soon I can feel him moaning and so I part my mouth a little and he takes the opportunity to stick his tongue in my mouth.

Victory. I can taste it and it tastes a lot like Cato.

I'm sure he swallowed the pill because his face instantly drops and his face is changed to one of fury.

I'm quick to give him his trigger word, "child" and he stares back at me as if it just registered what had already happened.

"Aww, did wittle Cato not know what I was doing? You're so cute." I tease and I ruffle his hair.

He says nothing and it looks like he's in fear?

That's not normal…Careers were barely ever scared of anything. Oh, he probably thinks I'm going to ask him to kill himself and walk away without any evidence of his murder. I sneer, I may be a crazy girl who missed a lot of her childhood and was put through the pain of growing years before I was supposed to, but I knew under all those layers, there was still a child there. Hence the trigger word.

Back to business, know your enemy right?

He must have sensed what I wanted and spilled everything.

Cato POV

"I was born into a very wealthy family. My mother just takes care of my brothers and sisters, but my father was-" I didn't really want to continue. This was getting way beyond what was comfortable but I continued. Not that I wanted to, but the drug was already taking effect.

"was President Snow's younger brother."

I hear her gasp and she steps away from me. But I continue because she hasn't told me to stop yet.

"Being Snow's younger brother, he was extremely supportive of the games and sent me in early for training. From a young age of 4 I was told that I would become victor of my own games and bring honour to the family and our district. I worked hard. Losing wasn't really an option because I was trained in ways unimaginable. Sometimes I would be woken up at 4 am to a room full of 12 others all wanting to take me down and if I didn't take all of them down first, I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week."

She still looks at me but her face reveals none of her emotions.

"I kept training until the age of 10 when I suddenly fled the capitol with my parents and my 3 younger brothers and 2 younger sisters. I kept asking my dad why I had to leave everything and go to District Two, but all my dad did was shake his head and send me to the academy at Two."

"When I turned 12, my dad had fallen ill and didn't seem to be recovering so I stayed by his side and talked to him whenever I could. Finally he told me why we left Uncle Snow and the Capitol. My father and my uncle had gotten into a large argument over some petty things which quickly escalated to death threats and my uncle turned to my father and told him that he will die and so will I, and that would be during the games."

I stopped paying attention to Katniss and started to continue on my own. It felt like a huge weight was being taken off my shoulders.

"My father died later that year and I promised him that I would continue my training and become the best District Two has ever seen."

"Training was hard at first because I was only 12 then and I had my death coming very soon, I could feel it coming closer so I only trained harder. The instructors were not very kind and it didn't matter what happened, you were expected to complete every task to perfection. Failure led to consequences that were unbearable, as many would describe. So I continued to train my hardest, every year outdoing many of those who were much older than me. I was finally asked to become tribute at 18 and I accepted knowing that I needed to fulfill my promise to my father. And everything else leads to now. I have not spoken to my Uncle since I was a toddler and I prefer to refer to him as Snow because I don't want to know him."

I finished and looked her expectantly. Well now that she knows my full story, I don't see how this could possibly help her in any way.

She opened her mouth to respond but slow clapping could be heard clearly on the dark balcony before the smell of roses and death hit my nose.

Snow.

Once again, thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed that! I don't know why but I really like to make my endings one worded. It's like suspense but for me it's kind of like flowing into the next chapter so it's not as fast of a cut. Rate and Review please! x
