DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES. JUST THE IDEA AND SOME OC'S :)

CHAPTER 4

"Well?" Cato mumbled. He didn't move from the position and Katniss would love to push him off but at the same time she didn't want to. Plus she doubted that her strength would match his.

"…I wasn't…" Katniss whispered back, and averted her gaze from Cato.

"You didn't even try to get back on your feet."

"Let me go…" Katniss ordered quietly. Cato slowly did and Katniss didn't expect him to just instantly do as she says.

Cato pulled Katniss back in and lightly placed his lips on her temple. "Good night." He smirked and jumped onto his balcony.

Katniss watched as he went back in his room and she suddenly felt heat creep up on her cheeks. Katniss could not figure Cato out. She had now decided that making any contact with Cato would be confusing, so her avoiding plan was back on.

Katniss's hand reached up to her temple, her eyes closed remembering Cato's lip touching her skin. That was going to be very hard to forget.

"Who cares about him…" Katniss went back in and closed her balcony doors shut.

::::

Katniss woke up once again, quite late. She picked up her usual attire, to find that they were replaced with a white tank top (with padding), a gray hoodie, and black cotton leggings.

Though confused to why her usual attire is replaced, she put on her new one anyhow. After her normal morning routine she headed downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Oh right, I put your daily clothes in the laundry and gave you some new ones to wear. Actually the hoodie belonged to Cato, I hope it's not too big. The leggings are some things I don't wear often so they're yours. Don't worry I washed them!" Regina told Katniss.

'Maybe I didn't wash the hoodie… but Cato keeps his clothes clean so no matter.' Regina thought but found no need to tell.

Katniss smiled in appreciation, this family is way too kind.

"Kat, Kat! Can we go outside today? Please!? Momma can we go out today?!" Eric popped out of no where and as usual full of excitement.

Regina bit her lip in worry. She wasn't sure if Katniss going out would be such a good idea.

"Eric dear, where do you plan on going with Katniss?"

Eric thought for a moment before answering, "Ah… the park? Anywhere… Oh! Can we go to the Training School place?"

"How about this? I need some groceries so why don't you, Katniss, and Cato go to buy some from the market?" Regina suggested.

"Yay! The market is so cool! It has these weird cool looking machines!" Eric began continuing on and on about the market.

"Are we going somewhere?" Cato walked in. As soon as Katniss saw him, the memories of last night came flooding back to her.

"Eric wants to go outside with Katniss so they're going to market. You're accompanying them." Regina explained. Katniss did not want to be spending more time with Cato, and avoiding didn't seem even possible.

"You sure?" Cato glanced at Katniss.

"As long as nothing goes wrong." Regina nodded. Come to think of it, Katniss didn't see much of District 2. All she saw was this house and maybe the neighbors.

"You will be going as soon as Katniss finishes her breakfast."

::::

Katniss stepped out of the limo. Regina had a chauffeur drive them to the market; she didn't think that walking would be such a great idea.

Katniss wiggled her feet a bit, the soft socks touching her feet and sinking into the fuzzy boots. The boots were from Regina and well technically her whole outfit was from Regina.

"Eric show us the way," Cato motioned Eric and he ran off. Cato grabbed a basket and followed. Katniss looked around in astonishment: she couldn't remember the last time that she ever went in to a market.

So much food and machines, there weren't anyone as cashiers- the machines itself were the cashiers.

"Hey Katniss, don't get lost." Cato grabbed her hand. Katniss looked from his face and their hands.

"I'll be fine," she whispered and snatched her hand away. She turned her head away just in time for Cato to not see her blush.

Cato shrugged, "Suit yourself." Then he walked away. Katniss slowly followed and helped Eric find all the groceries.

:::

"Why is Eric leaving?" Katniss siad as the limo began to drive off.

"Eric has a nap time. His patients runs low and he gets annoying."

"So what are we doing here?" Katniss looked up at him. She swore that he grew taller, maybe he was always this tall.

"You'll see." He began walking. Hmm… where in the world are they going? Katniss was just glad that Regina gave her warm clothes; it was pretty cold here in District 2.

Katniss caught up to Cato and solemnly stayed behind him. Katniss continued walking, her thoughts somewhere else and when she bumped into someone in front of her; she realized Cato wasn't in front of her anymore.

This was absolutely wonderful. Katniss was lost in a place she didn't know around. She stood there, trying to calm herself down. Finding Cato would be hard with this mob of people.

"Like I was saying about getting lost," A very familiar voice said in her ear.

"Sorry?" Katniss meekly responded. A pink blush formed on her cheeks. Cato stuck out his hand and this time Katniss took it with no hesitation.

"How far till we get to your destination?" Katniss asked. She still didn't know where she was going and her hands were getting cold, well only one of her hands. The other one was kept warm by Cato.

"We're here." They stood in front of a huge building. Cato pulled Katniss along into the building as they entered, Katniss noticed a sign saying 'TRAINING ACADEMY.'

"I.D. please." The person behind the reception desk asked. Cato handed him a card and the man did some stuff with his computer, and then returned the card.

"And the lady?"

"She's with me." Cato bluntly replied.

Katniss stepped into the elevator as Cato gently dragged her in. She had just realized they were still holding hands, guess she can get lost in here as well.

"So why are we here?" Katniss finally asked.

"I haven't visit this place for a while and thought you should just come along." Cato plainly put it. The elevator came to a stop and the two stepped out.

Katniss eyes focused onto what she was seeing. Teens were everywhere, each in different sections. Weapons were every direction she looked.

"It's Cato!" Some girl squealed. "No way!" More squealing. Before Katniss knew it she was surrounding by a group of girls.

"Where were you?"

"Where are you going after this?"

"Are you here to train?"

"Can you come over?"

From those questions and much more he only answered one of them, "Who is the girl with you?"

"She's someone special." Katniss furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Special… as in what?

"Is she your girlfriend?" Another one questioned.

"What happened to your trainers." Cato changed the topic. Katniss noticed that his words came out as ice. He was in monotone, his voice harsh

"They're training the little ones."

"You all need to shape up too." As Cato's chat with the giddy girls became longer, Katniss became bored. She was entirely tuned out of it. Her eyes led to a room where a little boy was shooting arrows. The boy kept missing the bulls eye, he was struggling. Katniss slipped away from Cato's hand and pushed pass the girls. She walked into the room and watched the boy shoot.

"Your aim is too low," Katniss softly spoke.

"Huh?" The boy looked at Katniss in surprise, "Umm… Miss, can you help me?" Katniss crouched down to his level.

"Here," Katniss lifted his posture of holding his bow a bit, "You should always keep it parallel and try pulling back harder." Katniss stood up and stood a good distance as she watched.

The boy did as Katniss said and the bow flew, hitting directly the bulls eye.

"Thank you so much Miss!" The boy smiled.

Cato however saw what happened from afar; he brushed the annoying girls away. Told them to go train or something and walked into the room, that Katniss was in.

"So you just decide to leave and come here," Cato said.

"Well I was bored." Katniss couldn't think of a better excuse.

"Oh Mr. Cato you know her?" The boy looked between.

"Yes I do."

"Well she taught me how to shoot right at the middle." The boy explained.

"So she's a good teacher Cress?" Cato questioned.

"Mmm… hmm…" Cress nodded.

Katniss didn't speak; she wasn't sure what to say.

"We have to go," Cato said, "It's pretty late." Katniss looked up at the clock. How is 2PM late?

"Can you two come back soon? I want Miss to teach me more about shooting!" Cress exclaimed.

"Bye Cress." Katniss waved. They left the building after and Katniss realized her day wasn't over yet.

"Where are we going now?" Katniss sighed.

"Lunch."

"Cato… I'm tired…" Katniss admitted.

"I'll carry you then," Cato said so simply.

"No thank you." Katniss immediately answered, "Can we go back?"

"After you answer one thing." Katniss motioned him to continue.

"So how do you know how to use a bow and arrows?" Cato questioned.

"You know what, let's have lunch." Katniss tried dodging the question. Cato turned her around so she was facing him.

"Answer."

"It's part of my past…" Katniss bit her lip, "And it just brings back really horrible memories."

"Well maybe telling them to me will make it better." Cato's voice wasn't ice cold anymore; it actually brought a lot of warmth to her.

Katniss opened her mouth to reply but no words came out, because she saw a very familiar face heading towards her.

"Catnip?"

Ooo... cliffy! Hehe ^.^ I'm sure you all know who that is!
