Chapter 4
Katniss's POV
How dare he put his hands on me like that? He is lucky that I didn't cut his balls off. His mentor had taken him into what is now our room. Haymitch takes me to the roof to "cool off".
He looks me in the eye and says.
"First of all, nice threat Sweetheart, but you cannot go taking knives after a man's jewels like that. Look Sweetheart. You can be severely punished if you are caught fighting with any other tribute before the games. Plus, it is just so wrong to threaten the man's jewels. Man, you had me scared that you would come after me with that knife."
"Haymitch, I can't just let him talk to me like that let alone let him hit me. I'll be damned that I will ever let that happen!"
"I need to let you know something about what the government want you and the rest of the tributes to do. Don't worry. Peeta already knows what is happening. Effie is telling him now."
"Ok. Spit it out."
"You have to start trying for the kid tonight. Then you will have to have an examination from the medics in the morning to ensure that all female tributes are no longer virgins. They have ways to tell that people have had sex the night before. Then you will be going to the launch room and the hovercraft will then take you to District 12 for the first month of training."
"So I have to lose my virginity tonight, and be examined all in 48 hours! This is so wrong! I don't want to do it! I should get to have a choice of who I want!"
"But you do not have a choice. You cannot threaten anyone any more alright?"
"Fine."
We walk back in the district floor. I walk into the room that I have to share with Cato, and go straight to the window. I sit in a very comfortable chair and look out. He says something to me and I just look at him like I want to kill him. I actually do want to kill him but I know that I can't.
I tell him not to touch me unless we are going to make a baby. He just looks at me and starts talking to me and asking questions about my life and I ask questions too.
Suddenly, my lips are being crushed against his. I have no idea what is happening to me. I try to pull away, but he held my head in place. What in the world is he doing to me? He picks me up and walks into the bathroom. He sets me down on a chair, and starts a bath.
I didn't know what to do. He started to undress me and I start to get a little nervous. He started to undress me. I stand still not know what to say or if I should hit him. I knew that we have to do something tonight. I just didn't know that he would be so gentle.
He strips his clothes off and the night begins.
(Sorry to cut it off there but I have so much more to write for this chapter.)
The Next Morning
I am woken up by Effie. The woman is so annoying. She tells me that I have to see the doctor now. I get up and the first thing I feel is soreness between my legs. I had no idea that I would hurt so bad the next day.
I head to the medic floor and am put in a room. They examine me and verify that I had indeed lost my virginity last night and that intercourse had happened. While they are examining me I think of the night before.
Did that really happen? Did I actually let that brut do those things to me and enjoy it? I still don't like him, but he did show some kindness. I bet you his mentor said something about him hurting me. I know that if he does hurt me again that I will not hesitate to kill him. I don't care that I need him to get home to my family and be able to take care of my future child.
After the examination I was taken back to my floor to eat, shower, and dress for the ride back to my district. We land and are taken deep into the woods, my woods, where there are six cabins and three more buildings standing next to my father's special lake.
At the thought that the Capitol had ruined my special place and memory of my father, I start to feel sad. I guess Cato senses something and gives me a look that tells me that I will have to tell him about it later no questions asked.
We walk into the training center that was build for the tributes. I see that the building was built around some of the woods. I see a wall that has nothing but weapons along the whole side.
We stop at what is call the home tree. I see that a girl is walking along side a man and notice that it is Madge and her father. When they have stopped in front of the tributes, the mayor begins to speak.
"Welcome Tributes! We are happy to have you here. After my daughter and I have given you your instructions, one pair of you will not see us until your victory tour. You will not have any contact with the citizens of District 12 or any other District. The people you will have contact with are those who supply the food and those who have special skills presented here in District 12. In District 12, you will be learning about Medicinal and edible herbs as well as survival skills. These people will receive your respect at all times. The expert on medicinal and edible herbs is Camille Everdeen and her apprentice Primrose Everdeen. The survival expert is District 12's very own victor Haymitch Abernathy and his newly appointed apprentice Gale Hawthorn. The Mellark family will be supplying pastries, bread and other desserts, but the Capitol will be supplying the rest of the food. Please do your best and fair well."
I look over to Peeta with a huge smile on my face. I see he has a smile also. I am so excited that I get to see my little duck again.
I look up at Cato and I already know that he is not going to let me out of his sight. He already watches me with hard eyes. I thought that after last night Cato would have at least lighten up a little. I just know that the look he is giving me at this moment tells me that I will not be getting away with anything.
Well I guess hunting with Gale is out of the question. You know what I don't care. Even though I am in training, I will not let my family starve. I am still going to hunt for food for them. I will just have to be a little sneakier than normal.
We are then shown to our cabins. Cato, Peeta, Clove and I are sharing the cabin closest to the lake. I give a sad sigh.
Cato pulls me into our room and asks:
"What the hell is wrong with you? You act as if you have been in these woods before."
"No Cato. I have never been here before."
We walk into the main room and Peeta gives me a knowing look. He knows that I hunt for food here and that the lake is special to me. He looks at me like he wants to comfort me, but I give him a look that if he says or does anything that I would kill him.
The next thing I know we get a knock on the door. I go and open it and I see the beautiful face of my little duck.
"KATNISS!"
She is in my arms and we are crying. I hold her until we both stop. I look up at the other three tributes in the room and the only one I see gentleness in their eyes is Peeta. He has a soft spot for Prim. Who wouldn't?
Cato walks up and roughly grabs me away from her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing Cato? Let me go!" I yell.
"No. I am not getting in trouble because you cannot follow the rules."
"She is one of the trainers. I can have contact with her."
"No. (Looking at Prim) Get the hell out of here before I snap your neck."
"Over my dead body!"
I swing my fist at him and he hits me in the stomach. Prim runs and presses a spot behind his knee and makes him fall to the floor. When he is immobile from shock, she then presses a spot in his neck area and Cato is unconscious.
"What did you just do Prim?"
"I used the pressure points that you and mom taught me. I don't want you to be in trouble. I just wanted to see you and hug you. Will he hurt me? Am I going to die?"
"I will not let that happen." Says Clove.
Everyone stands there in shock. Clove has never protected anyone that was not of her own district.
"After what I just saw, I will protect your little sister. I have never seen anyone, aside from you 12; take Cato down like that without being so scared of him or being hurt in the process. Plus, she reminds me of my little brother back in 2."
"Thank you Clove."
I walk Prim to the fence and give her a hug. We will see each other tomorrow. I smile while walking back to the cabin.
'Damn, my little duck is really amazing!'
I walk in and Cato has had the pressure points reversed and looks at me with fury in his eyes. He grabs me by the arm and drags me to the room again.
I could tell he was pissed off, but I didn't care. He will not hurt or treat my sister like that again.
"What the hell was that?"
"My little sister kicking your ass."
"Is everyone in your family full of fire?"
"No just my Aunt Hazel, my four cousins, my sister and my mother." I say sarcastically.
"You only told me about your sister. Next time a family member of yours attacks me I will kill them."
"As I said earlier, OVER MY DEAD BODY."
I walk into the bathroom and take a shower. I come out in my nightclothes and go to bed.
Cato tries to have sex with me but I kick him in the balls and roll over. I go to sleep.
The next day we start to train on the medicinal herbs. I will see my Duck and my mother.
I sleep with a smile on my face.
