Chapter 5

Primrose POV

As I was walking away from the fence, I run into Madge and Gale. I didn't know how to tell them about what that District 2 guy did to me and Katniss.

They were asking me so many questions, and I didn't know how to answer them. I didn't even want to talk about it, but I know I will have to. Mom will wonder how she is holding up being paired with the brutal tribute from District 2.

All I know is that I was worried about my sister and my future niece or nephew. If he acts like that for her giving me affection, what will he do when she does that for their child?

If they won the games, how would they survive this mean person? I knew my sister was strong, and I also know that she would do anything to protect and take care of the family.

I just hope he doesn't kill the caring, loving, and protective sister I know and love. I am just so worried about her. My cousin notices.

"What's wrong Primmy?" asks Gale.

"Nothing that I want to talk about out here. Can we go home first? Please."

"Yeah sure. Madge is staying the night. She is going to stay in the room with you and Posy. Okay?"

"Alright."

Since my dad and uncle died in the mine explosion, my mother had gone into a semi-absent state of mind, so my Aunt Hazel (my mother's sister and 8 months pregnant at the time with little Posy) and my three cousins (Gale, Rory, and Vick) moved in to help Katniss take care of me and mom.

We get home and Gale sits me down. Our mothers come in and sit down as well expecting news of Katniss.

"Okay Primrose Roselynn Everdeen. Spill it. What's going on?"

"I am so sorry I went against you mom. I just had to see her. I went into the woods and followed Peeta and his new tribute partner after he had taken her for a walk. I knew that when Peeta said that they had to get back that because Katniss would kill the other one if left alone too long. They walked in the door and I waited for a few minutes. I went up to the door and knocked. I was so happy that Katniss answered. We latched onto each other and cried. Then the boy from two came and ripped us apart. He threatened to snap my neck because I had made contact with her outside of training. Katniss went to hit him, but instead he punched her in the stomach. I couldn't let him hurt her because of me, so I went after him pressing the pressure points mom and Katniss taught me. I thought he was going to hurt me. Then the District 2 girl, I think I heard Peeta call her Clove, said that she would protect me because she has never seen Cato, District 2 boy tribute, taken down so quickly. Then Katniss walked me to the fence. Oh Gale! Katniss's cabin is the closest cabin to the lake."

"Oh the lake Uncle Mac taught us all how to swim in? I am going to kill that guy if he continues to hurt my family!"

"Yeah that lake. You can't hurt him because you are a survival trainer." I say.

"But my dearest daughter, you have to remember you and I love are the only medics for District 12. We can hurt him and say it is for training." says my mother.

Madge stands up and begins to speak.

"Hey guys! You can still get in trouble for that. My father taught me to kill him with kindness."

I nod my head in agreement with Madge. I really don't like violence and fighting. Someone always gets hurt. Katniss got hurt, and it made me sad. I won't do anything that will cause her to get hurt.

This is the promise I made myself. I go up to the room and start to write in the journal Katniss traded game to get me for my birthday this year.

Gale comes in and sits on the bed next to me. He doesn't say anything and just holds me the way my father held me when I was younger. He starts top hum and I slowly drift off to sleep. The last thing I hear before I fall asleep is-

"He will get his one day Primmy. I promise."

That night I dream of my sister with the love and fire in her eyes, and a smile of joy on her face.

Camille POV

How dare that bastard treat my daughters like that! I should go straight to my husband's best friend and District 12's only victor, Haymitch, and tell him what has happened.

As a matter of fact, I should go to Bran Mellark (who owns the town bakery) and have him make a special loaf of bread for the District 2 male tribute. Tell him that the Capitol had sent word to me that he was constipated and asked if I could help him along.

I will give Bran the little packet of grounded up Cascara Sagrada Bark (which is a natural laxative. We have an abundance of supply because a lot of babies get constipated from drinking milk all of the time) to bake into the bread. I wrote a short note to Katniss to warn the other two tributes to not touch or eat it.

With my mind made up, I walk up to Bran and tell him what I needed done. I feel really bad not going into details about why this needs to make it to Cato. I justify it with the thought that this is for my girls even though it isn't much, but this is somehow the first step in making things right with my daughters.

After I put in my special order, I walk over to Haymitch's house. I knock on his door and wait. It is only a few minute until the doors open.

"Yes Camille?" he asks.

"May I speak with you and the District 2 male tribute's mentor please?" I sweetly ask.

"Of course, Brutus get your ass down here. We have company." He says.

He lets me into his house and leads me to his kitchen. He offers me a drink and I kindly decline. The mentor Haymitch called Brutus enters the room and sits across the table from me.

"How can I help you ma'am?" asks Brutus.

"Please call me Camille." I say.

"Okay Camille. How may we help you?" he asks.

I repeat all that my youngest daughter had told us and what she did and what I had set in motion.

"WOW! Haymitch, remind me to never mess with or piss off an Everdeen. They are evil if you hurt one of their own. I do not envy Cato right now, nor do I want to be in his shoes." Says Brutus.

"You bet your happy ass we are!" I say. "No Cato, that's his name right, was correct that prim should not have been there, but that is no reason for him to threaten to kill her not does that give him reason to hit Katniss like that at all. He will know, after Katniss tells him (while he is shitting his brains out) that every action has a reaction."

"Camille, I have taught him that already." Says Brutus.

"Well he obviously didn't listen or catch on." I yell.

"Camille calm down please." Says Haymitch after I shoot him a warning.

I say goodbye to the men and start to walk home. I am met at the door by my sister.

"Did you put extra for me?" she asks.

"Yes" is all I say as I walk upstairs to bed.

"Mrs. Everdeen" asks Madge before I walk into my room.

"Yes Madge? And Call me Aunt Camille you will soon be my niece-in-law." I say.

"When you see Katniss, can you tell her I am sorry?" she asks.

"Yes, I will." I tell her.

"Thank you and good night Aunt Camille."

"You're welcome and sweet dreams my future niece-in-law."

Gale POV

It is the next morning, and I am at the cabin. I give a whistle and see my cousin in the window right away.

She is quickly by my side. I look at her and hand her Uncle Mac's bow. She smiles one of her rare smile. I hate knowing that she in the situation she is in. I hate that she had to be paired with that violent brutal son-of-a-bitch.

We start to hunt. It is like she never left. We see another 10 point buck, or maybe it was the same one from the other day.

She noc the arrow on the bow. She is about to release it when we hear someone or something fart. The buck hears it too and runs away.

She looks at me like I was the one to scare it away again. I give her the look that says that it wasn't me this time.

We start to walk towards the sounds of farting. Someone is taking a shit in the woods. That is when we see him. District 2 sitting on a hollowed tree stump with his pants around his ankles, shitting his ass off. Katniss walks up to him and punches him square in his face making his nose bleed.

"What was that for?" he asks.

"You scared off my family's meal and income for the next three weeks." she yells.

"Can you leave me alone so I can finish what I was doing!" he yells.

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because we are going back to the cabin."

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because you are not going to sneak away with your little boyfriend again." He looks at me and says "Sorry dude. I took her and fucked her until she screamed. I made her bleed and she liked it."

This time I fucking hit him. I hit him so hard that he fell backwards and shit all over himself.

As I walked away, I yelled back saying-

"Catnip, I will tell AUNT Camille and Primmy that you will see them in a few hours. Oh District 2, you hurt my little cousin again and I will sick Prim on you after I kick your ass."

"I would like to see you try." Says Cato.

I watch him stand up and grab some poison ivy and wipes his ass.

"I wouldn't do that." I say.

"I have to wipe my ass." He says.

"Yeah that is true, but you just wiped your ass with poison ivy. I see they didn't teach you that in your fancy academy. Did they? Catnip, we gonna have to take him to Aunt Camille. He is gonna need treatment." I say.

We walk back to the cabin and I go get Primmy and Aunt Camille. We return to the cabin, and they treat him.

"I hope you are not constipated anymore Cato?" asks Aunt Camille.

"I was never constipated." He says.

"Don't mess with or hit any of my girls again or it will be more than just the shits. Don't forget I have an abundance of knowledge with herbal medicine and I taught my girls well." She says as she treats Cato's poison ivy rash on his ass and hands.

It is now time for training to begin. They learn how to treat poison ivy and how to help treat every illness a pregnant woman can get with herbal remedies.

Brutus POV

That little shit. I cannot believe he didn't listen to what I said to him in the Capitol. Well he really is in for it now. He has pissed of the one person that can make him miserable even after the games.

Camille Everdeen, Katniss's mother, is very clever in dealing out punishment. I cannot wait to see what happens.

We walk into the cabin that houses Katniss and the other three. And notice that Camille is treating Cato for something. She says something to him that makes his face turns white.

"Clove, what happened?" I ask.

"Cato ate bread that was made just for him, Katniss went hunting and he tried to follow, scared off her pray by farting so loud while taking a shit in the woods, wiped his ass with poison ivy, and now dealing with embarrassment and threats from future baby-momma's momma!" she says laughing.

I couldn't hold it in any more. I busted out laughing, and I get death glares from Cato. I warned him that his actions your have bad consequences. He just didn't get the memo.

I walk over to Katniss.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yes." She says holding back laughter.

"Sorry he made your pray run away. I will make sure they have the money for the rest of training to survive. I have talked to the president and both apprentices are traveling with us for the rest of the training. Prim will learn how every district heals their people and bring that knowledge back to your mother when the games start. Gale will be with us because he is Haymitch's apprentice." I tell her.

"Thank you Brutus. But what about Gale's fiance?" she asks.

"We will figure that out." I say.

They all go off to the raining.

When the month is over, we board the train and head to District 11.
