Hey guy's sorry it took me a little bit to write this, I've been busy lately but I just want to say that this chapter is going to start not being like the book, I wasn't sure how I was going to do this, because I don't want to get rid of Katniss's alliance with Rue, but I couldn't have her drop the Tracker Jackers because she knows that plan that they have were Cato and Peeta take out the careers, so bare with me, It will get better once we get out of the arena! Oh and I did get a request for a real Lemon so brace yourself's because it's going to be coming soon! (: Keep reviewing and Enjoy!
Katniss
Once I got into the woods I just ran and I didn't stop running, no matter how much my legs were threatening to give out on me, I just kept running.
Finally I sat on a rock and decided to look through my bag, I had some rope, matches, a empty canteen, a black sleeping bag, some crackers and a few dried beef strips, some iodine, a small coil of wire, and a pair of glasses. So all together I didn't get off that bad, and I took a few seconds to check out the knife Clove threw at me, it was a decent size and it was nice and sharp, I started to feel a little safer.
I started walking again but it was getting dark so I found a nice tree and climbed up it and secured myself on it with the rope, I had stayed up to see what tributes died earlier, when I started to smell smoke and I frantically looked around and saw a small fire a few feet away from my tree, I cursed the tribute in my head, Cato and the others would defiantly be hunting tonight. That's when I heard the pleas's and screaming coming from the fire then I heard them coming this way Cato, Clove, Peeta and the two tributes from district 1 they all were jumping up and down and mocking the poor girl.
But a thought ran across my mind, Cato wasn't lying he was actually going through with the plan! I was going to get one of the boys out!
While thinking of different tactics to save them I finally dozed off.
Cato
When everyone got up the following day we started to head out and look for Katniss, I was eager only because I needed to see her, I needed to know everything was going to be okay, I haven't seen her face in the sky, but I'm still always on my toes.
We were walking through the woods when Marvel yelled "There she is!" and everyone ran off towards her, in my mind I was hoping she'd get up in a tree before anyone reached her.
We finally reached the tree she was in a I let out a silent sigh. I started to climb the tree and 'accidentally' fell down, Glimmer tried to shot a few arrows at her but she's hopeless with that bow.
Finally loverboy suggested we make camp underneath the tree and we do. Everybody silently falls asleep and me and loverboy get ready to do the horrible deed we were about to commit. I started with Marvel, and Peeta took Glimmer, But he let that stupid bitch scream and Clove woke up and got up and quickly saw what was happening, I lunged for her but she was to fast so we just let her go.
"Dammit loverboy!"
"Oh shut up you are the one that told me to get the girls!"
"God Dammit both of you shut up!" Katniss yelled as she hoped down from the tree.
I heard rustling coming from the bushes behind us and Katniss stepped forward.
"Rue?" Katniss hesitantly asked as the little girl stepped out but once she saw me she almost took off before Katniss told her it was okay. I didn't mind taking on Rue as an ally she was quiet and she knew a lot about the plants.
Finally after what seemed like hours, Katniss finally come to give me a hug, or well I thought she was going to hug me but instead she hugged loverboy. I was furious until I saw her beautiful grey eyes which said that the hug didn't mean anything but of corse she can't hug me because that would screw up the stupid star crossed lovers thing they have going on. I'm sure all of Panem is sitting on the edge's of their seat's begging for an explanation to why I turned on my alliance, too bad they won't get one.
I couldn't help but admire the way Katniss would act with Rue, almost like she was Rue's big sister, a swear that girl just keeps getting more perfect. But it was really late so finally we all just laid down and of corse Katniss snuggled up with Peeta but she was facing me, I looked into her eyes and I could see she desperately wanted to be in my arms and not his.
She mouthed a sentence that brought real tears to my eyes,
"I love you Cato."
I mouthed "I love you too." back to her she smiled and closed her eyes. I quickly followed her lead and closed my eyes that night I had no nightmares only images of Katniss filled my dreams.
I loved the girl on fire, and she loved me back.
