Jealousy

Katniss's POV

#

I sighed as I laid in bed with Peeta. We'd been silent since last night and I knew neither of us had slept at all. His breathing had never evened out as to show that he was sleeping. "Peeta," I whispered.

"Yes?" he whispered back.

"We don't have to fight about this," I rubbed his arm lightly and he turned to face me.

"So, we just leave it alone?"

"Ya we have years to worry about it. Just forget about it Peeta, we'll worry about it later ok?"

He sighed and stroked my hair pulling me into his arms. "Good I don't like arguing with you," he said kissing my jaw line.

"What are you doing today?"

"I was thinking of asking Cato to go into thirteen again last time we just kind of got there and looked around, except for the sewing kit I grabbed for Rue we didn't bring much."

"Oh doll Cato and I are hunting today, maybe Clove can go with you?"

"Nah I'll wait until tomorrow, Rue and I can hang out, maybe I'll go with her and Thresh for grains and stuff."

"Ok just don't be out late and make me worry," I said kissing his lips before standing up.

"I won't," he said before pulling the blanket over his head again to sleep. I smiled and grabbed my weapons before heading over to Cato's and Clove's.

"Cato," I said knocking on the house, "let's go we gotta get hunting partner."

"You sound scary," Cato said appearing while fastening his electric whip at his side.

"Why?" I asked as I headed towards the woods.

"I don't know the sentence just didn't suit you, move on. What are we hunting for today?"

"What do we hunt for everyday?"

"Whatever we see," he repeated.

"Good plan," I said scaling a tree to get a better view. "I see something over by the river," I yelled down to Cato.

"You wanna go check it out?" he asked.

"Ya," I said exiting the tree and walking beside him.

"Where by the river?" he asked.

"By the place where you all tried to kill me."

"I guess we never really apologized for that," Cato said. "Sorry for trying to kill you."

"Sorry for also trying to kill you," I said as we reached the river. "Ok," I said turning around "that's a naked girl."

"Glimmer to be exact," Cato said going into the water and fishing her out.

"How are you not crept out?" I squeaked.

"Ok one you are way to uncomfortable with nudity. Two I've seen Glimmer naked before. And three haven't you seen Peeta?"

"Why have you seen Glimmer naked before?"

"During the games, she was a fun easy distraction."

I shook my head "Cato she died," I said as if suddenly remembering.

His eyebrows knitted together as he held his ear to her bare chest to confirm a heartbeat. "I, I don't know," he said looking back up. "Her heart's beating and she's breathing now."

"I killed her," I whispered. "This doesn't make sense the girl died. I pried my bow and arrows from her body."

"I don't understand it either," he said laying her in the grass.

"Then what do we do?" I asked looking to him, confused with how to proceed.

He shrugged looking down at the naked girl. "We can't just leave her here."

"What if she's some sort of spy or something? What if she's not even the real Glimmer?"

"You have way too many conspiracy theories Katniss," he hoisted her onto his shoulders. "Let's get her back home," he started walking then paused "I guess Clove was right that little cluster of houses is home."

I smiled making a mental note to tell Clove about that and followed after him. "Here," I said removing my jacket and handing it over "to cover her."

He laid her down again and zipped the jacket up over her body. "She wouldn't really care though," he said changing to holding her bridal style. "She did wear that see through dress for her interview remember?"

"Oh ya I felt nasty just watching her talk."

"Well she had sexy going for her, why not flaunt it?"

"Because it's disgusting," I wrinkled my nose. Cato just shrugged as we reached the houses.

"Why do you have a naked girl?" Peeta asked who was getting ready beside Thresh and Rue.

"Because I attacked her and made her my mate," Cato said sarcastically.

"What?" Clove's voice rang throughout the camp.

"Bad joking subject with your girlfriend around," I teased elbowing his side.

Cato just glared at me, everyone knew how much Cato adored Clove, except maybe Clove. Clove in all of her tiny furry stomped from inside the house gripping a knife by the hilt and wore a glare that sent Rue to Thresh's shoulders.

"It's Glimmer," I stepped in. "We found her out by the river and we just brought her back to make sure she was ok."

"Why aren't you carrying her, friend?" Clove snarled looking at me.

I raked my brain for a moment "I'm too weak," I said taking the blow to the pride for Cato and my sake.

"You've carried Rue!"

"Have you seen Rue, Rue weights less than air," I defended.

"Fine," Clove glared.

Before anyone else had a change to but in Glimmer stirred in Cato's arms. Her eyes flashed open and her hand instantly clung to his shirt, "what's going on?" she asked her eyes darting around.

"We were gonna ask you that," Cato said looking down at her.

"I was with Marvel last thing I remember," she said squirming in Cato's grasp.

"I bet she can stand now," Clove huffed.

"Right sorry," Cato released her to her own two feet. To Glimmer's credit she didn't faze at all as the jacket continually hiked up. I noticed Clove watching Cato's eyes to make sure they didn't slip. I glanced at Peeta myself but as always he was as innocent as a newborn deer and his eyes rested easily on her face.

"Glimmer can you tell us about how you're alive?" Peeta asked gently, she gave him a glare and I took an arrow from my sheath.

"It's ok," Cato whispered to me putting a hand on the arrow to keep me from drawing it.

"Well I remember waking up in a lab. People were talking about how the games had been a disaster. They said Seneca Crane had been killed and the President was in a frenzy of what to do. They said that taking once dead tributes and passing them off as the living ones would be hard.

"Marvel and I woke up from these containers and we were identical to Katniss and Peeta."

Peeta and I looked at each other with confused faces. "You look nothing like me," I said.

"Not now but for a while I lived in District 12 as you and no one even questioned it. Anyways Marvel and I were hating it in 12 and we didn't want to be there. The Capital had sent us orders almost every day and we had no idea why. We decided to run away and so we did, we ran for a long time until we reached the grain field and then almost collapsed in despair. We figured that we'd be trapped once we reentered the arena. We were able to walk and then a hovercraft found us. It hauled us up and was getting ready to kill us when I jumped from a window. I don't remember anything after that."

"That sounds like something we need to find ourselves in the know about very quickly," Cato said looking at me.

"I agree I don't like that Snow is having people running around my family pretending to be me," I said gripping my bow tightly.

"Come on Glimmer you can stay with us," Cato said wrapping an arm around her.

"She cannot," Clove said standing in front of the doorway.

"Clove don't be ridiculous," Cato said not stopping his path towards her. Oh God why did he have to push her? Just say yes send Glimmer on down to 8s house and move on. This was going to explode into something not fun.

"No she can't!" Clove's voice became squeaky and high.

Cato laughed, don't laugh at her! My head screamed.

Cato shoved Clove out of the way and got as far as the doorway before Clove dropped the time stopping bomb. "Cato I'm pregnant!"

AN: Big thanks to What If 12 for pointing out my sleep deprived mistake. I've fixed it now and tweaked that part just a tad (not large or important at all)
