CHAPTER 2

Katniss took a seat at the table. Her plate was stacked with 2 omelets, several pancakes, and strips of bacon. Regina poured a glass of milk for her and for the other 2 boys as well. Katniss ate slowly, just taking a small bite of everything. She looked up from eating, across from her was Eric. He was around 3ft. and several inches tall. His eyes were round and big, being the color of dark blue. His hair was a rusty blonde and combed neatly. He was slim and had light tan skin. Eric looked like a typical five- year old to Katniss.

Katniss turned slightly and Cato sat there eating about three plates of food. Cato seemed to be nearly 6ft. tall with a lot of muscle. His buttoned up light blue collared shirt was clinging to his chest. His biceps were practically visible through his shirt. Cato's eyes were a bright blue, they seemed like ice to Katniss. His hair was a bit tousled and the color was a light blonde. Katniss thought Cato could past for a 25 year old. His face showed no emotion and it seemed as if a lot of weight was on his shoulders. Cato looked up, their eyes met and Katniss looked away.

When Katniss turned away she found Regina in the kitchen. Regina seemed kind, there were an only a few wrinkles shown and the creases on her forehead were barely seen. Regina's eyes were a light green color so probably her two sons got their eye colors from the father. Her hair being light brown was probably not passed to her sons. Though the shape of her eyes and mouth matched them. Regina had a skin from between tan and porcelain.

Katniss was shook back to reality when she felt a tap on her thigh.

"Kat…" Eric began to say her name but it seemed he had forgotten, "I'm going to call you Kat from now on!" He claimed. Katniss smiled in response, he was quite energetic.

"Did you know Kat, Big Brotha is the strongest person in the whole world!" Eric's eyes were bright, "Big Brotha can carry me all the way upstairs!" Katniss looked at Cato, he was currently helping Regina with the dishes and was probably listening to their conversation.

"And! And! Big Brotha knows how to use a sword! Big Brotha knows how to stab someone in the heart." Eric said happily. Did Cato teach Eric these things? Eric doesn't seem to know what stab means.

"Eric, don't talk about those things. It's bad." Regina called from the kitchen in a warning tone.

"Sowwi…" Eric looked down to the floor and apologized. It seems Eric looks up to Cato a lot. Katniss gently ruffled Eric's hair and smiled.

"Can you tawlk?" Eric asked. Katniss shook her head no; when she did she felt Cato's ice cold eyes on her.

"Aww… that's too bad…" Eric frowned, "Can you fight Kat?" he questioned. Katniss didn't know how to respond, she knew how to shoot people with arrows and that was pretty much it.

"Eric, time to go to school." Cato broke into their conversation.

"Aww… but I'm talking to Kat!" Eric whined.

"You can talk to her when we get back home, let's go before you're late." Cato said.

"Fine…" Eric answered a bit happier. He walked beside Cato and went out the door. Katniss could hear the click of the closing door.

"Katniss why don't I show you the house." Regina suggested and Katniss nodded in response, "I usually stay home and design new clothes, but it's nice to have girl company." Katniss was first led to living room. It included two black velvet couches, a plasma T.V., a marble desk, and two shelves filled with things. The walls were a magenta color with flower designs and a soft white carpet was placed onto the floor.

"This is the living room, pretty much our family room you could say." Regina said, "There's the kitchen and dining room that you saw. A bathroom and guest room is a bit farther from the living room. There's also Eric's play room. A music room and there is also a study. There's also a pool and a garden outside. Then the second floor is all of the bedrooms." Regina and Katniss walked to the second floor, where Regina showed where all the rooms are.

Katniss's room is at the end of the right side. Once you reached the second floor you find yourself with some flower painting and then you decide whether going to the right or left. The first door on the right is Katniss's room, next to her room is none other than Cato's room. Katniss inhaled sharply, that isn't exactly good. The bathroom is next to Cato's and the other side of the wall consisted Cato's office. On the left side is Regina's room, Eric's room, also another bathroom, a computer room, and Eric's toy room. Katniss and Cato's room has a balcony and all the bathrooms are grand with a Jacuzzi.

The two went down to the basement, "There's a game room, a bar with a kitchen, laundry room, and a training room." Regina said. Training? Why a training room?

"The training room is only used by Cato, most of the time though he just goes to the Academy and train. The training room is used about once every month." Regina pretty much answered her question.

::::

Katniss got a good nap after the tour of the house. She slept for around 6 hours, not long but Katniss enjoyed it. Once she got up she began cleaning.

Katniss did cleaning pretty much for the rest of the day. She mopped all the floors, cleaned the windows, and made sure everything was spic and span. When Cato and Eric came back she tried to avoid Cato as much as possible. Katniss knew that she had to talk to Cato and figure out what he was going to do with her secret, but she didn't want to this moment. How was she going to ask?

"Kat! Come with me…" Eric tugged her arm. Katniss gave a questioning look to the little boy.

"Eric dear, Katniss is working. Why don't you show her later?" Regina helped Katniss out.

"But Momma, Big Brotha is training now. He doesn't do it every day." Eric whined.

"You bring her, only if Katniss wants to go." Regina warned.

"Can you come Kat?" Eric questioned. His eyes were so excited that Katniss nodded yes. Eric jumped up and down, his way of victory.

Eric led Katniss to the training room, she heard a loud slashes.

"Shh…" Eric said quietly and put his index finger to his lips. Eric looked through the big window that showed the whole training room. It was sort of like a whole showcase thing, just live. When Regina was showing her around the whole house she didn't actually go in the training room. Katniss spotted a bow and a sack of arrows. She hadn't used them from so long; she was itching to use it.

"Big Brotha is so good at fighting!" Eric said, his eyes shining. Cato was using a sword and hitting each dummy exactly at the heart.

Katniss was impressed, but she found it disgusting. Cato just seemed brutal to her.

The slashing stopped; Cato finally noticed that he had an audience. Eric went in the training room gushing about how good Cato is. Cato responded happily to Eric, he was smiling too. Katniss stood by the door and watched them talk. If Cato smiled all the time, he might not seem so cold to Katniss.

"Eric! Come up for a moment," Regina called from upstairs. Eric was upset that his conversation was cut short with his big brother, but he went up anyhow. Katniss made move to follow as she was about to go out the door, but the door was snap shut and Katniss backed away in surprise.

"You're an Avox that can talk right?" Cato bluntly asked. Katniss turned the knob but it was locked from the outside and figures Cato had the key. Katniss shook her head no in response to his question.

"Don't lie to me," Cato stepped closer to her.

"So what if I'm a liar? My life is already a lie, so what difference does it make." Katniss bitterly talked. Cato officially now knows that Katniss can talk.

"The difference is that an Avox cannot talk, but you are an Avox that can talk." Cato responded in the same tone cold tone.

"I think I already know that." Katniss said.

"But nobody else knows." Cato stated.

"You do now." Katniss retorted, "And Snow does too…" she added in a low whisper.

"So care to explain?" Cato asked in a softer tone.

"I'm a special case… Snow didn't cut my tongue… I have to keep it a secret that I can talk, so basically I'm just an Avox that can talk." Katniss explain.

"And what happens if President Snow finds out that I know your secret," Cato questioned.

"I bet he already knows." Katniss answered bitterly, "Nothing, as long you don't tell anybody and you don't use it against Snow."

"Would you care if I do those things?" Cato raised an eyebrow.

Katniss immediately responded, "Yes I would! If you die, it's my entire fault!" she exclaimed. Cato's large hand covered her mouth.

"Man you're loud," He smirked, "You want Mum and Eric to find out?" Katniss struggled to pull apart Cato's large hand away, he is strong.

"Yes sort of… but it probably won't happen." Katniss answered.

"Since you're an Avox, which district are you from." Cato asked. Katniss hugged herself, this is not a good subject to talk about. It hurt too much to even to talk about. She could feel sudden tears fall from her eyes. All the images came flooding back, the images her family, home, and friends. Prim burning away, that memory caused even more tears to come out. Katniss couldn't control it, usual she held it in but this time she couldn't.

Cato lifted her chin and brushed the tears away, "Sorry, I think I hit a rough spot." He said gently. Katniss's tear slowed down by the sudden shock of the kindness of Cato.

"It's nothing…" Katniss sniffed. She found herself liking the touch of Cato. Cato on the other hand went to lifting Katniss's chin to caressing her cheek. Everything felt right at that moment. They may not have not even known each other for 24 hours but it didn't matter.

"Cato…" Katniss found herself blushing at the sudden contact, "I think I have to go…"

"Yeah…" Cato's hand fell to his side.

"Please don't do anything that will make me guilty," Katniss whispered. She found suddenly that she really didn't want Cato die, because if her.

"Like what." Cato sneered, he was back to himself. He unlocked the door and Katniss ran upstairs.

"Shit, what the hell have I got myself to?" Cato sighed.

::::

The next day Katniss cleaned up the bathrooms, gross but it didn't matter. By the time she finished cleaning all the bathrooms Cato and Eric came back home. Regina didn't work out she did it at the house. Regina's work office was on the second floor, so she does all her designing in there.

"Katniss would you mind help me tidy up my office." Regina asked, usually she gets ordered to do things, there isn't a choice.

Katniss went inside Regina's office, to find it a complete mess. She organized the papers, she put the sewing and making things for the clothes separately. Once Katniss was finished with that she moved to the closet. It was filled with dresses and outfits, she put them on their own hangers. Katniss found most of the outfits outrageous and hideous.

"I can't imagine myself with any of these on…" Katniss mumbled quietly to herself.

"I can." A voice said surprising Katniss, which made her drop the dress she was holding.

"You scared me, it's just you Cato." Katniss glared at him.

"You shouldn't talk out loud." Cato smirked.

"Don't tell me what to do." Katniss continued glaring.

::::

[6th day since Katniss began serving the Smith's]- night

Katniss stared out at the sky. She stood on the balcony in her room. She found that living here and serving the Smiths aren't so bad. Regina is extremely nice to her and asks her for anything. Eric is a sweet little kid and Katniss liked the small talks that she had with Cato every day.

"Why are you out here?" Cato asked, Katniss turned to find him at his balcony.

"Why can't I be?" Katniss replied. Cato shrugged.

"Cato why do you talk to me? I'm nothing but an Avox, I'm suppose to serve you. Why do you put up with me?"

How was this chapter? Good? I need help! Should the rest of the family know about Katniss's secret?

Tell me what you think?
