Prologue
You may have thought they were dead. Well not anymore. The Capitol leaders of before the rebellion went underground, taking the bodies of the dead tributes with them. Using Capitol technology, they were able to bring the tributes back, only the smartest and strongest were brought back to help regain control of Panem. This isn't the end of the story…
Cato 4: Awake at Last
My old allies jumped; Arrow, though, just smiled at me and said. "Hello Cato, how are you today?"
"Good. You?" I answer.
"Perfect." She smiles and ties her hair back.
Marvel smiles jokingly, "Cato my friend, you need a shower."
I laugh and give him a guy hug.
Glimmer throws herself at me. "Cato, you're alive!"
I laugh, "And so are you."
I back away from them and stare at Clove. "Clove." I nod at her.
"Cato. You grown, but I'm still better with a knife." She smiles and I can't hold myself back anymore, I throw my arms around her, holding her close.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
"Its fine, Cato. I should've been more careful." Clove hugs me back.
"Never leave me again." I whisper.
"I won't, I promise." She whispers into my shirt.
I soon let go of her and turn to Arrow, since she's the smartest.
"What's the plan?" I ask her.
"Well, I guess you know why we're all alive." I nod and she goes on. "We need to train and then follow the Capitol's directions to take down the rebel's government, and then regain control and rule with an iron fist."
"Wow, Arrow, I never thought I'd hear you say that." I say, amazed.
"Well, you never thought we'd both be alive long enough to be in this same situation." Arrow points out.
"True. Who else is alive?"
"Thresh." Clove says.
My grip around the chair in front of me tightens and I break off the cheap wood header of the chair.
"Wow. Cato, you're awake for 5 minutes and you're already breaking chairs. Tsk, tsk." Clove smiles.
She grabs the piece of wood from my hands and breaks it over her leg. She tosses the remains into the trash can and turns back to us. Her dark brown hair is tied back in the same way it was in the arena, out of her face and quick.
"We need some training. We aren't in the best shape." Arrow says.
"Okay." Clove says. "We need to assign duties. I say Arrow should be in charge."
We all nod. "Cato or Marvel should be in charge of military." Arrow says trying to get our attention off her.
"Marvel, sorry Cato, but you might go insane and blow up District 9." Clove says.
"No, I'd blow up twelve." I correct her.
Glimmer smirks, "Too late. It got blown up in the original rebellion."
I snicker. "Poor little coal miners."
Clove laughs. "Let's go train."
I walked out the door to a deserted hall. Then it struck me, I turned to Glimmer, "Where's all the Capitol people?"
"In their meeting rooms and offices one level up. They rarely come down here, I think they're scared of us."
Clove chuckles, "I can't see why." I glare at her and she laughs even harder.
We arrive at the training room and I'm amazed. It's better than the training rooms in the Capitol and District 2 combined. There are weapons, agility courses, anything you could imagine. I walk straight for the swords, but Clove pulls me back.
"Try something new. Maybe a bow and arrow." She smirks and walks towards the spears, picking up one and throwing it at the target hitting her mark easily.
"Take your own advice." I call to her and she smirks at me.
I walk towards hand-to-hand combat, but stop when I see Thresh. He obviously notices me 'cause he turns around.
"I won't hurt you District 2. We're on the same team now." He says turning back to the already torn up dummy.
I walk forward and start beating up a punching bag. After a few minutes, I'm working up a sweat and then I hear laughing and shrill screams. I spin around to see Marvel chasing around Clove and Glimmer with a sword, all of them laughing. Thresh is shaking his head laughing and so is Arrow. I smile at my joking allies, or I guess friends now. I haven't really had real friends, only training buddies. Now I have five friends, that all get along. Marvel corners Glimmer who giggles and hold her hands up in mock surrender. Marvel smirks and Clove jumps on his back laughing. I love my friends. Marvel tries to get Clove off his back to no avail. Glimmer is laughing, taunting Marvel with his own sword. Marvel finally gets Clove off his back and starts chasing them again. I turn back to my training, hearing Clove and Glimmer's shrill laughter in the background. Soon enough Glimmer calls for a dinner break.
We sit around a table in silence choking down our first mean in 40 years. Clove swallows her last bite of food before looking over each of us.
"Who gets Firegirl?" she asks.
"No one. She is being killed by a quick shot to the heart, same with Peeta. Their children are all yours though. Keep the boy alive, the girl… well I don't care about her." Arrow answers.
"Firegirl goes down first. Then the rebel government." Thresh agrees.
Arrow nods. "We need the rebel government down, we don't need to waste our time torturing Katniss."
Clove nods sadly, Marvel glares at his shoes, but Glimmer pipes up, "Can we kill Loverboy first? I wanna see District 12's face when he dies."
Clove nods and Arrow sighs. "That would be fine. Let's all get some sleep, tomorrow the real training begins." Arrow gets up from the table and walks away.
Thresh gets up and walks away without a word.
Clove gets up. "Well, I guess she's right. See you guys tomorrow." She gestures for Marvel to follow her.
Marvel gets up, "Later Cato. Tomorrow, you and me one on one."
I smile at him, "You're so on."
Marvel smiles and follows Clove at of the room threatening to tickle her.
I stand up and look at Glimmer, "Well, you coming? I need someone to show to show me room."
"Sure." Glimmer quickly stands up and leads me through the hallways, until we reach a room with my name and District on it.
Glimmer opens the door. "Clove, me and Arrow are right across the hall, Marvel and Thresh are next door. Try not to break anything."
"You have no faith in me." I laugh.
"True." She closes the door and I hear her walk across the hallway laughing.
I collapse on my bed, being dead really wears you out.
Thanks for reading! I love of you guys, like Rue with music!
