I bought the Hunger Games Movie today! Hurray. Now it is mine to watch over and over again. I will never tire of it. Enjoy the next chapter cause it is a long one. Over 4000 words! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, faved, alerted etc. thank you. I have no idea when this will end but not for a while.

Katniss' POV

I stared at him in shock at horror. Snow was forcing him to become a whore. No this cannot be happening. I am Cato's alone and he is mine. Why does that evil bastard have to ruin everything? I pulled Cato over to the couch to sit with me.

"You have to be a…a…."

"Yeah, like Finnick Odair. Snow thinks that I would bring in great profit. During the Hunger Games, I was lusted by many of the Capitol woman who wanted me."

"But what about me Cato?"

"I'm doing this for you"

"You're doing this for me! So you're going to have sex with random Capitol women for me." I jumped off the couch in rage at him. He was using me as an excuse

"No Katniss, I doing it to protect you and your family"

"What does my family have to do with this? Cato stop giving me excuses. Tell me why you are really doing this. Do you want to have pleasurable sex with them?"

"Katniss! Just shut up for a minute. I'm trying to explain but you won't let me. I tried to refuse, but Snow threatened to kill your family" I let it sink in.

"Snow was going to kill my family?"

"Yes unless I agreed to his terms." How could I be so stupid? Cato wasn't doing this because he wanted to. He was doing it for me. To save me and my family. He loved me. Cato grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to sit on his lap.

"Katniss, why would you think I would do this willingly?"

"I don't know. I guess you have all these women fawning over you and now they have to chance to be with you. I got jealous maybe"

"Would you look at that. The Brave Fire Girl Katniss Everdeen is Jealous"

"I said maybe I was jealous. Any girl would be if they boyfriend was to be sleeping with countless women for a sick man's entertainment"

"Wait Katniss, say that again."

"What that I was jealous?"

"No the part about me being your boyfriend?"

"What about it? I thought you were my boyfriend? Cause if you've been playing me this entire time, I going to–"

"Katniss relax. I do love you. It's just that you've never called me that before"

"Oh well I guess I never actually thought about it. I just knew that I loved you and you loved me."

"Well, then I guess I'll have to make it official then." He got up and kneeled before me.

"Cato Stone. What are you doing?"

"Doing what I should have done a long time ago. Katniss Everdeen. Will you be my girlfriend?" I laughed out in relief. Part of me was thinking he was actually asking me to marry me.

"Yes Cato Stone. I would be honoured to be your girlfriend" I pulled him up for a kiss which he returned happily. It didn't matter that Cato was being sold for his body. It didn't matter that everyone thought we were dead. What mattered was here and now. Cato and I. The two of us together. Forever.

"Cato are you ready to see your new home?" We were on the train back to District 12. God it had felt like years since I had been there. I wondered how my family was going to react when they saw me and Cato.

"As ready as I'll ever be. I can't wait to see your family again. It has been ages since I last saw them."

"We should be arriving soon so we should have some lunch and then get ready in the crate."

"Ok let's go" He laced his arm with mine and lead me out of the room. When we arrived in the dining room, we walk over to the table and Cato slid my chair out for me to sit in and then pushed it back in.

"My my such manners Cato. Effie would be proud."

"Well my girlfriend deserve only the best. What shall we have for lunch than Katniss?"

"Whatever the boyfriend recommends" I returned back to him.

"Well he recommends that we have a fruit salad with icing sugar on top."

"Sounds delicious but what is icing sugar?" Cato stared at me in shock

'You've never had icing sugar? Not even in the Capitol" I shake my head at him. "Well you've been missing out. I'll fix that right away" He snaps at a male Avox who comes running up to Cato.

"We shall have fruit salad with icing sugar but make sure it is to the side in a large bowl. We shall sprinkle it on the fruit ourselves." He dismisses the Avox and it runs away to prepare the food.

"You really could be nicer to them you know. Just because they are Avoxs doesn't mean that they don't have feelings." To prove my point I call another Avox over.

"Can I have an Iced Chocolate please? What would you like Cato?"

"I'll have the same please"

"Can we make that two? Thank you" The Avox walks away to get the drinks.

"See there's no need to be mean."

"Yes I get your point but I still don't like them. Especially that one. The way he kept staring at you longing."

"He was not staring at me longing."

"Yes he was." The first Avox walked back over and placed the plate of fruit on the table along with the icing sugar in another bowl. It was white and powdery.

"Thank you" Cato stabbed his fork into a strawberry and drowned it in the white mixture.

"Open up Katniss" I opened my mouth and bit the strawberry off the fork. It was delicious.

"Oh My God!"

"You should try it covered in chocolate sauce" I immediately wanted to it.

"Can we?"

"Of course" He called the Avox back over and asked for some chocolate sauce. Much nicer this time I might add.

"See was that so hard."

"No. Now do you want another piece or not?"

"Yes please" I begged.

Cato was right. Strawberries with chocolate sauce was yummy but even better was banana in chocolate sauce. I couldn't believe Cato got all this stuff back in two every day and here he was giving it to live with me in twelve. We were in the crate waiting to be taken off. Finally we were moved and it wasn't long before we were set down again. Haymitch said that when we were back in my house, he would call out that it is alright. That was a signal that no one except my family was in the room and that we could get out. I could hear my mum and Prim crying.

"Prim, it's okay. It's alright. It is alright" He said that last part louder. I took that as our cue to show that we were alive.

"Ready?"

"Yep" I move the lid off the crate and I hear my mother scream. Me standing up and then Cato doing the same made her scream even more. I moved over to her but she stepped back.

"Mum it's me. Katniss. I'm not dead. Neither is Cato."

"You can't be Katniss. Katniss died in the Hunger Games"

"Ask me any question about myself. Something our family knows." My mother looked at me doubtfully but then she spoke.

"How do we have food on the table at night and where does it come from?"

"I hunt with Gale every Sunday with my bow and arrow that my father made for me. We hunt in the woods to bring home food in a game bag. I sold enough food to make money to buy Lady for Prim. Gale and I trade at the hob. Is this enough information for you Mum. I am the real Katniss and I am alive. Ask Haymitch if you don't believe me."

"Marissa, she's telling the truth. It was Enobaria's and my plan to get both of them out of the arena. I sorry you had to find out this way but at least Katniss has come back alive."

"I did promise I would come back to you and Prim, didn't I?" I looked at Prim who was happily smiling at me.

"Katniss!" she came running up to me and gave me a big hug.

"I knew you would come back and now you're with Cato. I told you he loved you" I hugged her back afraid I was going to lose her even though I had no reason to be afraid. Cato came over to my side.

"How is it that a little girl knew my own feelings before me?" he asked her.

"I have no idea but she was right" Prim let go of me and I pulled him closer to me.

"Yes, she definitely was." Cato leaned down to kiss me. I loved kissing him. It was as if I was complete when he was with me. We broke apart when the door opened wide. There standing at the door was Peeta; his face was of complete confusion but also horror seeing Cato standing with me. He must have come to comfort my family and see me off.

"Katy? What are you doing here? And how is it that you are alive Cato?"

"Peeta, Listen I'm not Katy, it's me Katniss. Katniss Everdeen."

"Katniss killed herself in the Hunger Games"

"Peeta that is my sister Katniss. She isn't dead, she's alive" Prim said

"Haymitch what the hell is going on? Katniss is dead and Cato is supposed to be dead to."

"Boy she's telling the truth. I made this plan with Cato's mentor so that they could both come out alive."

"And you didn't tell me! Haymitch what the hell! You just thought you would help her and not me. I knew you would choose her"

"You didn't need to know! Stupid boy, my plan didn't concern you. You wanted to die anyway. You're just lucky that you came out alive as Victor. But as I remember you made an ass of yourself on nation TV. You left your own interview not even waiting to be crowned so as far I'm concerned, you have no say! Haymitch roared at him. Serves him right I guess. I always said he was an idiot for walking off but I forget about the crowning so I guess he's not even a real victor. I decided to step in at this point.

"Peeta, I didn't know about the plan both until I woke up and Cato was standing in front of me. Cato didn't know either until he woke up. We didn't hide anything from you."

"You didn't know anything until you woke up? Then explain why Haymitch sends you a note and you decide to kill yourself."

"I killed myself because I thought I would be with Cato in death. Not life. Peeta I would choose Cato over my life okay."

"He's not even worth you. He's a cold blooded killer who would have killed you if you were in the last two with him."

"Peeta, he wouldn't have killed me and I know it. Cato knows it. Haymitch knows it. Everyone seems to know it but you."

"You know he can't support you Katniss. I'm a Victor. I can support you. I can help you to take care of Prim and your mother like you wanted me too." I hear Cato snicker next to me.

"You find something funny 2"

"Yeah, you think she can't support herself. She's been supporting her family for most of her life. She puts food on the table for them to eat. She can hunt. She made it to the final two. She would have won if it weren't for you. Now you tell me she can't support herself" Cato says smirking.

"Sure she can support herself with the basic necessities but she can't give herself the fine luxuries that I could. Can you?"

"Yeah I could. I come from District 2. We could move they're if we wanted to"

"She has to agree to it though and I doubt she will."

"What do you say Katniss, would you like to live in district two with me? Your mother and Prim could come live with us too?" I look from Cato to Peeta and I know my decision. To give Prim a better life and to shove it in Peeta's face. He thinks he knows me and says what I will and won't do.

"I would love to. Prim, would you like to live in District two with me and Cato and Mum. I could give you a better life."

"Can I bring Buttercup?"

"Of course you can"

"Then sure, I'd love to live there."

"Mum would you come?" I can see doubt in her eyes.

"I don't know Katniss. I've grown up here. To move to another District. And wouldn't they recognise Prim from the reapings?"

"We can change her looks like Cato and I did. Peeta didn't know it was me when he saw me in the elevator"

"Katniss how do you that we work"

"Marissa, don't worry it'll work. Once we dye her hair, it will be fine. Prim wants to go." Haymitch said to her.

"Oh alright. I we can live better lives there then I guess we can live there."

"Ok Cato I guess we're moving to District Two." I said smiling up at him.

"Katniss, you're making a horrible decision."

"Peeta I think you should leave. In a few days' time, you won't ever see me again." I said to him. He looked at me one last time and left. I turned to Haymitch.

"Haymitch how are we going to get to District Two? We can't pretend that I'm dead or get send back to the Capitol."

"Oh I've already figured that out. Before we left, I spoke with Snow about where you were going to live. I told him District Twelve and he was rather annoyed and said we should live in Two instead but he agreed. He also said if we should change our minds to call him and he will send a train to District Twelve to collect us and send us to Two as new arrivals. It is all planned out. Now if you'll excuse me I have to call him from my house. I'll come back when I'm finished." Haymitch walked out the door and left.

"So Katniss, ready to move to my hometown?"

"Definitely" I looked around and noticed we were the only two in the room. Prim and mum must have left to give us some privacy.

"And you know what the best part is?" he asked me

"What?" I had no idea. I knew that two would be good but what would be the best part about?

"We get to have fruit salad with icing sugar everyday if we want to" I broke out into a huge grin but then I remember something else horrible.

"Cato what about the Hunger Games? Even if we move to a different District our names are still put into the reaping bowl." Cato began laughing at me

"What is so funny about potentially being thrown back into the Games?" He calms down before he talks but he still smiles life a goof.

"You. Katniss. I'm laughing at what you said. We're going to my hometown. District 2. We're not called Careers for nothing. I'll be nineteen by the next Hunger Games so I'll be ineligible and if you were chosen, someone would volunteer for you and you only have two chances before you're ineligible as well. So we are all good Katniss. Don't worry." Cato kisses me on my forehead while I rest my head on his chest. I can't believe I forgot about the volunteers in Two. We stood like this until Haymitch came back inside the house.

"We'll you are all set. Snow was actually happy when I told him that you wished to live in District Two. A Capitol train will be sent tomorrow in the morning. So pack up your belongings and get a good night's rest. I'll see you off in the morning."

"Thank you. Thank you for everything." I said

"You're welcome sweetheart. Have a good life in Two alright"

"I will" Haymitch walked out the door again and we were left alone. Tomorrow we would start our new lives.

"So should we pack then?" Cato asked me. I nodded and we headed upstairs to my room. I didn't have much so I was able to pack everything.

Line Break

We were waiting at the station for the Capitol train to come. Prim was very eager because she was getting on one and it wasn't headed towards her death like most Capitol trains. She badgering me with questions about them. What it was like. The food, the beds, everything. But like a normal child would, she constantly asked if it was coming yet.

"Prim, it'll be here soon. The train has to travel from the Capitol all the way here to Twelve so it isn't going to be here in a flash."

"I know but I want to board it already. Ohh here it comes. Look Katniss!" Prim was right. In the distance I could see the train coming. Soon enough it pulled up aside the station and as soon as the doors opened, Prim raced inside. She was quite excited to be on a train as she had never been on one in her entire life. Mother said a quick goodbye and followed after Prim.

"Goodbye Haymitch" I gave him a hug and boarded the train. Cato shook Haymitch's hand and got on the train as well. Once we well settled, I went to the window overlooking the station and waved at Haymitch one last time before as the train began to move. As the train progressed on, Twelve became nothing more than sky and forest. I went back to the living room where the rest of my family and Cato were waiting.

"Oh Katniss. I love trains. They are so luxurious. Is this what it will be like in Two?"

"Why don't you ask Cato? He's lived there his whole life." Prim turned to him and awaited his answer.

"Well it isn't as luxurious as the Capitol but we do have a nice suitable lifestyle. It's close enough to the Capitol."

"Katniss, you said there was a dining room on this train. Can we try some food please?"

"Yes you can, do you want me to take you on a tour of the train?"

"Yes please and then we can get some food. Is it true they can make you whatever you want?"

"Yes, I believe so within reason. Do you remember those cakes outside the bakery?"

"Yes, I do. Peeta made them. He came over to our house when he came back. He was really upset."

"Yes well, if you ask politely enough, you can have one"

"You mean I could eat pieces of the cake and I wouldn't have to pay for it?" We make our may into the dining room and as per usual there are Avoxs standing post to receive our orders or requests as I call them.

"So Prim what would you like?"

"I don't know what to have."

"Well would you like to try an ice cream? I'm sure you'll like it."

"Ok" She said unsure. I would be too if I was offered something I had never tried. I called an Avox over an asked for two Honeycomb flavoured ice creams. He nodded and walked away. Five minutes later he returned with two glass cups filled with ice cream. I thanked him when he handed mine and Prim did the same. I watched her as she scooped out a small bit of ice cream with the spoon and ate it. Her face lit up when she did.

"Katniss this is delicious." She eagerly took a second bite and then a third.

"Slow down. You'll give yourself a brain-freeze. I said you would like it." I smiled at her and started on my own ice cream.

Cato's POV

While Katniss had taken Prim off to get food, I was left alone with her mother. We sat in silence before she spoke to me.

"Cato. I know that Katniss loves you and you to her but I just don't want her to get hurt. I believe that Katniss with have a great life with you. You've already provided her with a better one by inviting her and us to come live in District Two which I am very grateful for. I haven't seen Prim so happy since Katniss bought lady for her but I want to know she will be safe as well as Katniss."

"I would never hurt Katniss Ms. Everdeen. I love her very much and will protect her with my life. You and Prim will be very safe here. In Two, no one worries about the Hunger Games and being picked because the two tributes are chosen before the reaping so that they will volunteer for whoever is picked. I've explained this to Katniss as well."

"Well I'm glad and I'm glad that Katniss is happy. I want both of my daughters to be happy and grow up to live long lives with someone. If Katniss is happy then I am happy."

"Thank you Ms. Everdeen" After I finished saying this, the compartment door slid open and Katniss and Prim came in eating ice cream. Katniss said down next to me and I put my arm around her waist pulling her closer to me.

"You went to the dining room and you didn't get me an ice cream?" I pouted at her pretending to be upset.

"I thought of that so I got two spoons so you could share with me." she hands me the other spoon and kisses my cheek. I hear Prim giggle from the opposite couch. Once we finish our ice creams Katniss and I head down to our room.

"What District are we at?" She asks me

"Well We've been travelling for about an hour so I think we're passing through District 11." I hear her groan and mutter to herself.

"Even travelling by high speed train, we won't reach Two until morning Katniss."

"Yeah, when we were headed for the Capitol we didn't get there till after lunch the next day."

"I got there later in the afternoon. But right now we have all this time to spend with each other." She smiles up at me and pulls me in closer. I feel her lips and against mine. She breaks apart and looks up at me.

"No matter how many people who have you for one night, you'll still mine. Mine alone." I smile back at her and capture her lips again.

"And your mine." She pulls me over to the bed and we fall asleep in each other's arms until we wake the next morning. I awake first and see she is still slumbering. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. I can't believe how lucky I am to have her. I try to get up without waking her but I do so unsuccessfully because she tightens her grip around me.

"Where are you going?" She asks me sleepily

"To have a shower. I'm sure you can do without me for ten minutes."

"Ok but come back when you done" She releases her hold on me and I get up. She's fully awake now and sits up. I kiss her forehead.

"I wouldn't dare dream of leaving" I walk over to the bathroom and turn on the shower. When I return, I find her gone from the room. Probably gone to breakfast. I change and walk down to the dining room where I find her sitting at the table with Prim. She spots me coming in.

"Good Morning Cato."

"Morning Prim. Did you sleep well?"

"Definitely. The pillow is so fluffy that you head sinks right into it. I fell asleep straight away. Did you sleep well?"

"Very well thank you." I sit next to Katniss and call an Avox over. When my breakfast arrives Katniss' mother walks in and joins us."

"Morning mum." Prim says.

"Good Morning Prim. Katniss. Cato"

"Good Morning Ms. Everdeen" She sits down next to Prim and looks at me.

"Cato please call me Marissa. I know you well enough."

"Ok Ms. Ev- I mean Marissa" She smile gently at me and began talking to Prim.

"So are you ready to see Two. I've talked to the driver and we should arrive in three hours. We're just passing District Five." I tell her.

"I can't wait." She grabs my hand and squeezes it lightly. We finish our breakfast and Katniss take Prim down to have her hair dyed. When they come back an hour later, Prim has ginger looking hair which looks good on her. No will know that she is Prim from Twelve. Katniss and I go back to our room to prepare to leave when we reach the station. While we wait in the lounge room I can see my beloved district come into view. I get up and hold out my hand to her.

"Ready?" she looks up at me and grabs my hand nodding once. I smile at her and we head towards the sliding doors as they open and walk out.
