Chapter 6
Cato POV (On the Train to D-11)
I have never been so humiliated in my whole life. A scum rat from 12 and her family got the better of me. This would never have happened in District 2. I have always been told that I was the pick of D-2.
I have always had things my way no highway option. This includes when I have sex. The best one I ever had was my go-to girl, Samantha. The main things I liked about her were that she never complained about rough sex, and that she was so tight. Just thinking of her tightness made me so hard.
Katniss is giving me sex tonight. I will have her any way I want her. She will experience the roughest sex she will ever have. She is not the one I want, but she will do until I get back to Sam.
Speaking of Katniss, she walks into the room, and I automatically lock the door. I walk towards her, and I am thinking that I am so glad that I had to door locks changed to where I had the only key.
"What are you doing?
"I am going to fuck you and fuck you hard"
"You can't; I am on my period."
"I don't care. It is happening now, and Katniss, you bled last week. I have been keeping track too. The sooner you get pregnant, the less I have to touch you."
I push her on the bed and ripped her clothes off. I didn't wait for her to get wet enough. I just slammed in her as she screamed out loud. She is just a thing to hold me over until I can get back to Sam again.
I could tell she was bleeding now, and I didn't care. It made me thrust harder and harder knowing that I made her bleed again. I am only fucking her just to make a kid for the capitol.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME YOU SICK BASTARD! OWW!"
"This is punishment for how your family treated me in 12 you fuckin' scum bitch!"
I thrust faster and harder. She is in tears and she is still screaming. It just turns me on even more.
I finally grunt as I cum inside her. She is lying there crying. I told her that if she doesn't stop crying that I would give her a reason to cry. I also tell her that she better hopes that she gets pregnant soon because if she doesn't it will get worse.
"Get up and get dressed. We are arriving in 11 in 5 minutes. We will be transferred into living quarters with Clove, Peeta, Thresh, and that Glimmer Chick. Prepare yourself because you will be getting what you just got every night."
She finally doesn't say anything, and it is music to my ears. I don't want to hear her. She is disgusting to me.
When she starts to move, I hear her whimper.
"Shut the fuck up and clean your mess up! You are not so tough now are you?" I taunt her.
She continues to loudly cry.
"I SAID TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I say as I raise my fist threatening her.
I grab my stuff and go to the train door. It opens and I walk to the living quarters. I walk into our room, and start to put my stuff away.
This is when I notice that Avox's are carrying in Katniss's stuff in, and both Brutus and Haymitch are blocking the way out.
"Sirs please get out of my way. I would like to get something to eat."
"No boy. We need to talk."
Clove POV
I hear a scream and it came from the direction Katniss went. We head to the rooms, and I see Cato leave with his stuff and only his stuff. Peeta already had our stuff ready and said that I didn't have to worry about it. I really like having Peeta around. I would love to do more stuff for myself, but he won't let me.
Seeing Cato leave though made me very nervous. I hate feeling like this. I rushed into the room and look around for Katniss. I don't see her anywhere, but what I do see has me worried.
I see signs of a struggle and blood on the sheets. Normally, I would get excited at the sight of blood, but this time. I look to the floor and see a trail of blood droplets heading to the closet. Following the trail, I think that something very bad has happened. I open the closet door and see Katniss huddled in the very back of the closet naked sitting in a puddle of blood.
I call for Peeta.
"Yes Clovey?" he asks with a smile.
That smile fades as he sees Katniss.
"I need you to help me get her to the bathroom.
"Okay. Right away." He says taking off his shirt and puts it on Katniss's naked body.
He picks her up and takes her into the bathroom. He puts her in the empty bathtub and goes to stand outside the door facing away from us.
"Peeta, can you go get Prim and our mentors?"
"NO! NOT PRIM! Please, she doesn't need to see me like this. Please get the girl from District 5. She was my mother's best student aside from little duck. Please."
"Okay. Peeta go get Foxy, Haymitch, and Brutus. Do not let Prim in here no matter what."
He nods his head and then is off to find the people we asked for.
"What the fuck happened Katniss? Tell me, or I will bring Gale in here."
"Okay. He raped me, and roughly at that. He said it was punishment for how my family treated him in 12. He said that he hoped that I got pregnant soon so he didn't have to touch a scum rat anymore. I told him to get off of me, but he just kept going. It felt like he was ripping me in half. He kept hitting something inside of me and it hurt every fucking time."
Foxy, Marvel, Brutus, and Haymitch arrive with Peeta within the next ten minutes. Everyone looks at me, and the look they gave told me that they heard everything. I tell the guys to wait in the room while Foxy and I go assess Katniss's injuries.
As I walk into the bathroom, I ask Peeta to gather all of Katniss's stuff and have them moved in the living quarters.
When I reach Katniss, Foxy is already starting the examination. First she checks Katniss to see if there are any other injuries, like bruising, cuts, or broken bones, and all we find is bruising and swelling of her vagina.
When Foxy starts the internal exam, Katniss screams. The mentors are in the room right away.
"Well her cervix is very sensitive meaning one of two things. 1) He tore it, or 2) it is inflamed. It is more likely the later of the two. I will examine her in one week and we will know for sure what had happened. I did not feel any tares other than the outer area of her vagina. That is where all of the blood is coming from. She cannot train for at least a week." says Foxy.
"Okay. Thank you Marissa. I think Haymitch and I need to have a little talk then. Clove?" says Brutus.
"Yes Sir?"
"Take care of Katniss. Have Peeta put her in my quarters for now. I do not want Cato around her for at least 2 days. Haymitch lets go."
I do as my mentor says and have Peeta take Katniss to Brutus's quarters and place her on the bed. When he sets her down she gives a slight whimper, and I hear Peeta whisper:
"Shh. It's ok. Clove and I are here. Don't worry. You are okay. You are safe."
I sit next to her and help her with whatever she needs.
I sit there and think about all that Peeta has done and how caring and how gentle he is with me. It is in that moment that I realize that Peeta is the perfect person for me. Where I am rough and tough, he is sweet and gentle.
'Thank you lady luck!' is all I have to say.
Brutus POV
"Brutus, we are going to have to interfere now. There is no reason he should have done that to her."
"I know Haymitch. I have an idea. How about since they are supposed to be a team, he cannot train unless she is by his side."
"Yeah but you are forgetting one thing."
"What's that?"
"HE RAPED HER! SHE DID NOT CONSENT AND SHE SAID NO!"
"What is the punishment in 12?"
"Well the head Peacekeeper would give out 50 lashes with the whip and half way through the punishment he would relinquish the whip half way to the oldest living male relative to deal out the rest of the lashes."
"Ok. Then no training without Katniss and 25 lashes. I will deal out 15 and then Gale will give him the rest. It will be done in 2 hours time. Go prepare Gale and I will go have a talk with my disobedient tribute."
As we part ways to prepare for Cato's punishment, I think to myself:
'This kid is going to be the death of me."
I head to the tribute's quarters for the month. I ask the Avox who carried Katniss's stuff to her quarters to take me there.
I step in the door way blocking Cato's way out.
"Sir, please move out of the way. I would like to get something to eat."
"No boy. We need to talk."
"There is nothing to talk about."
"Yes there is. What did you do to Katniss?"
"I gave her what she deserves."
"No you didn't. What I saw just a few minutes ago, how she looked was horrible. This is even after Clove and the girl from 5 cleaned her up. I told you that if you mistreated her or abused her in anyway, I would personally punish you. Because of how serious her injuries are, you are to receive 25 lashes across the back and you will not train until Katniss is able to train. You will apologize to her in front of everyone on the train."
"I didn't do anything wrong!"
"You RAPED her! That is what you did wrong! This is why you are being punished."
"When is my punishment and how long until Katniss can train?"
"Katniss can train in a week. Your punishment begins as soon as we finish our conversation."
As I say this, a very pissed off Haymitch, Gale, and Prim come to escort Cato to the middle of Tribute Square.
He strips off his shirt; Prim and Gale tie his hands to the posts and move away. I start to deal the lashes and after the 15th lash, I hand over the whip to Gale. He is the oldest male in her family as her father and uncle is dead.
Cato stands and starts to walk to the room he shares with Katniss. I follow to make sure that everything will be okay.
To my surprise, Katniss is there waiting with a medical bucket filled with the herbs and stuff needed to take care of Cato's back.
"Katniss, May I speak to you please?"
"Yes Mentor Brutus?"
"Please call me Brutus. You have earned my respect and only people I respect calls me Brutus."
"Yes Sir."
"Why are you here and not resting?"
"Cato and I are supposed to be a team. I have to go home to my family; I need Cato to do that."
"I have to do some special training with you. Cato is worried that, since he can't train without you, that he will lose the games. I need to train you in all things so that you can protect yourself and it will make up for lost training time. I will start your special training in District 7."
"Thank you Mentor Brutus. I need to get back to Cato."
As the week progresses, I check in on Katniss and Meathead. She is by his side taking care of him. It should be the other way around. He should be caring for her. This surprises everyone.
Cato POV
I don't want her helping me. She got me into trouble. She got me whipped by Brutus. I am not happy with her. I am not happy with her at all.
Brutus comes in with Haymitch, thanks her for caring for his protégé & sends Katniss with Clove to get something to eat.
Brutus "If it's the last thing I do, YOU will HEED to WHAT I SAY you ungrateful shit! YOU need HER to make IT HOME. Even if it means to your whore, Sam. If I had it my way, I would kill you myself for what you did to her & be done with it. Since SHE can't train for a week, YOU CAN'T train for a week. IN ADDITION, I'm giving her special training to PROTECT herself better. Training I might add that YOU should've been doing with HER from the beginning! Since YOU WON'T TRAIN your PARTNER, YOU will stand there & watch as I TRAIN HER FOR YOU! I told you Cato, for every action as an equal reaction. I told you KATNISS will be the difference between life and death for YOU.
NOW HEED MY WORD & OBEY ME as IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES! You are NEVER to MISTREAT her again. YOU will be gentle with her from here on or, I WILL make the pain 50 times worse. YOU will treat her with the respect she has EARNED from ALL the MENTORS for taking care of YOU when YOU SHOULD BE CARING FOR HER for all you have done to HER! Her special training with me starts in District 7. Until then all training that the two if you missed will be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER as A TEAM while in District 6 & in addition starting tomorrow since your lashes should be healed enough, YOU are to wait on KATNISS UNTIL she fully HEALS!
Now heed my word boy & obey me in ALL THINGS from HERE ON OUT or, Cato YOU WILL face MY WRATH.
Mitch, batter up.
A very SOBER & Pissed off Haymitch looks at Cato. If I ever see her the way Brutus & I saw her on the train again or even remotely close to it, I WILL make Brutus's promise to YOU look like CHILD'S PLAY. Cato KATNISS didn't give you the shits or, poison ivy, her MOTHER did because you mistreated her DAUGHTER. In 12 PARENTS ACTUALLY PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN. FROM here on WE (meaning all MENTORS) will be watching YOU. Both turn & leave Cato.
Brutus's POV

All SHIT now I have to get a SOBER Haymitch until this year's games are over. FUCK! That little son of a bitch. Now I can only hope that the team building exercise that I instilled to this team works. Or Katniss won't even make it to the arena because of Cato's lack of self-control. We leave the door cracked as we go tell Katniss who is on the way back with food for Cato.
Katniss agrees on two conditions, 1) that Haymitch & I act as pseudo fathers to Prim & the Hawthorne children so Gale won't be over burdened by the responsibility. 2) Being that Katniss will be pregnant in the arena, I give extra training at the Capitol to Cato to compensate for my possible lack of agility in the arena. In turn Katniss said that she will make sure she'll have his back as much as she can in the arena.
I tell her we (Haymitch & I ) will talk t the rest of this kids on the first request. The second I agree to because I know it will get HER out of the arena alive. I also get her to promise to rest more so she can heal. As I tell Haymitch, she's worth a thousand of him. Haymitch replies Katniss knows if she dies in child birth, Cato will have to raise the baby alone. Also she made that request was in thanks for protecting her after what Cato did.
Cato's POV
Just FUCKIN' GREAT! Now I have to watch MY MENTOR train her. What the... Did I just hear Katniss make a deal with MY mentor & he's AGREEING to it. Brutus is saying that scum IS WORTH A THOUSAND of me. That bitch. Haymitch said if she dies in child birth, (if I could be so lucky) I will have to raise the baby by myself. That would be true, I would raise my kid. Ok if that's what Brutus wants that's what he gets. She just gets what is REQUIRED of me.
Brutus's POV
Has Katniss walks away from the pair, Brutus notices that the door wasn't closed all the way. Shit, the little fucker heard everything. I can only hope that he knows what it NOW takes to bring home a Victor. Even one as worthless has he is.
Cato's POV
Cato looks at Katniss warily. Inside he's pissed & seething. Katniss give him a loaded plate to eat & he notices it's all his favorites including Pineapple. He nods his thanks & starts eating but he's still pissed at her. Katniss looks at the lashes on his back & does the treatment again. He notices that she's still not healed because she hasn't been resting. Well he reasoned if 'she' didn't have his mentor & Gale whip him, she wouldn't have to take care of him. However just in case if they're hanging around; "Brutus is right. You need to rest."
Katniss "I will after this treatment. go ahead, eat. However you're healing nicely. Two more treatments tonight & you should be good to go tomorrow morning." As Katniss finishes.
Cato "Katniss, come here, please." Katniss approaches but leery.
Katniss "Yes, Cato?"
Cato whispers into her ear. "We still have to do this kid thing." Katniss stiffens buts nods. "get use to every night; however it won't be like the last time. Because if we don't get pregnant, we don't make it out of the arena, period."
