BookwormBunny12: Yes I did. And I was miserable afterwards.
crazyandproud14: I couldn't let them date just yet, but they will. And Thresh and Arrow... That'll all be explained in this chapter.
numbah435spiritsong: Yeah. Cato is pretty oblivious to everything.
Turtlezz4eva: I love Clato, as well! Thanks for your help!
So without further ado... Chapter 11!
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 11: Stakeout
We sit at the breakfast table, silently eating. Vincentia walks over to us.
"Today, you will be going on a stakeout mission." She announces. "Everyone will be going except, you Clove, sorry. Finish up your breakfast." She starts walking away but Clove gets up throwing her napkin down.
"But why can't I go?" she asks.
"The coordinators find you unpredictable. They believe you would attack anyone you saw." Vincentia looks sadly down at Clove. "Sorry."
Clove stands there glaring at her shoes as Vincentia walks away.
"Good luck. I hate stakeouts anyways." She stomps away to probably tear up some dummies.
"If the find Clove unpredictable, I wonder what they find Cato." I hear Glimmer whisper to Marvel.
I know what they mean, ever since the games my temper has been flaring up a lot. Like when I pinned down Clove for touching me with her knife and this morning when I attacked Glimmer. I really need to be more careful with that. I walk out of the dining room to find Clove.
"Enjoy your mission." She sneers pushing past me, walking towards the training room.
I feel bad for her, not being able to go on a mission, but what she did was stupid and it's kinda smart not to let her go on this mission. I walk to the planning room and wait for Marvel and Glimmer. According to Vincentia, we're going alone and are to report our findings when we get back. We depart at around 12 and arrive at the super secret Rebels base at 1, okay so it's not exactly a Rebels base, since they control Panem now, but whatever.
"I see a convoy. It's coming through the gates." Glimmer says looking through the binoculars. "Ugh. I hate beige."
I lean towards Marvel and whisper, "Why'd we give her the binoculars?"
Marvel shrugs and goes back to squinting at the warehouse about 100 meters in front of us.
"Omigod!" Glimmer cries. "It's Arrow and Thresh! And they're talking to Katniss. It seems like she didn't expect them, I think they're, well more like Arrow is telling her about us." She lowers the binoculars.
"They probably ran away to help Katniss, since they didn't want to help the Capitol. They were buying their time with us, planning a secret escape in battle where they pretend they're dead, and join Katniss. But of course, the Capitol's interference caused them to bump up their plans." Marvel explains.
"We better not tell the Capitol people about this." Glimmer says handing the binoculars to me. I can see Arrow talking to Katniss and Thresh staying silent. "They'll flip and probably kill Thresh and Arrow. Do we really want that?"
"No. I don't wanna be responsible for anymore deaths." Marvels answers.
I nod not really paying attention. I'm thinking about what I'm gonna do to get Clove to trust me.
"C'mon. Let's get back to the hideout." Marvel says and we quickly slip out of our hiding spot and start back to the airship. I really want to get through all the Capitol reports then go and see Clove.
So did you like it? Again a short chapter, but c'mon I'm tired, I haven't had a really good sleep in days, half cause I stay up till 11 on FanFiction. Whatever. I'll try to update tomorrow.
