Chapter 2

"The Valentine twins Cato and Cata how I didn't miss you," Dark our mentor said.

He won the games last year and was one year ahead of us in the academy. He hated us because we were younger and had better marks in everything. So he could potentially be our down fall in these games. I mean really they couldn't have given us Brutus or someone not Dark.

Cato and I looked at him unimpressed, he hadn't changed. His same black hair swept across his forehead. The same angry blue eyes, well they were angry around us. The same lanky muscular body, but he had no muscle compared to my brother. And the same 'I have a stick shoved up my ass' attitude. I hated this kid, but he got the same treatment as the others.

"Dark," we muttered.

"How did I know you two were going to be here? Of course the pride and joys of District 2," he growled.

"Shut the fuck up before I shove my foot up your ass," Cato muttered.

"I wouldn't if I were you; I'm your only way to survive in the games."

Cato clicked his neck, before jumping up grabbing Dark's collar. He held him off the ground; I chuckled as Dark's eyes grew wide. Cato smirked looking at Dark's scared face.

"Now you listen to me, I can make it without your help. But you see here's the bad part your life depends on you helping us understood," Cato growled shaking Dark.

Dark slowly nodded as Cato dropped him to the ground. Cato took the seat next to mine again. Dark recovered and left the room to 'freshen up' before we get to the Capitol. He just doesn't want to be in the same room as us.

An hour later Dark came back out. We had to be close to the Capitol.

"You two are going to have to lose the cold act so you get sponsors. I know how you two are, but being cold won't help you here," Dark said.

I looked at him un-amused, but he was right. To get sponsors I was going to have to let my walls thaw…for a little while anyway. Our train pulled into port and we walked off. People were watching us cheering as I smiled and waved slightly. I wasn't going to be a bimbo about this. I was here to fight to death. We were escorted into tribute tower. Unlike most of the other tributes we didn't have to get a makeover since we took care of ourselves.

"You two might want to go meet the Careers from 1, so you can work something out," Dark said once we walked in the building.

We nodded as we all walked into the elevator. Dark pushed the button for 1. It went up one floor and the doors opened. There were 5 people sitting the living room area.

"Dark it's been forever," a blonde girl said running over and hugging Dark.

"Cashmere it was just last year not that long," Dark chuckled obviously checking out the blonde bimbo.

The blonde boy and Cashmere actually looked similar must be brother and sister. There was another blonde girl, she was beautiful, but looking at her expression that's all she had going for her. The boy beside her had soft light brown hair. He didn't look amused by the other girl. In fact he rolled his eyes. The other person was obviously from the Capitol.

"These must be the tributes of District 2. I'm Cashmere and this is my brother Gloss. And the tributes are Glimmer and Marvel," Cashmere said I really just wanted to kill her myself this is so annoying.

"These two are the Valentine twin's Cato and Cata," Dark said.

Cato and I stood emotionless staring at them all. Cashmere jumped off of Dark and came over looking us over.

"You two aren't going to get sponsors acting like brick walls. Now come on show some emotion," she said, how did she kill anyone.

I took a deep breath letting my walls melt. I smiled at Cashmere.

"Is this any better?" I asked my words dripping with sarcasm.

"Yes, but the sarcasm isn't appreciated. Dark what are your ideas with these two?"

"Yeah Dark, what idea do you have for Cato and I?" I asked smirking.

"Cato's obviously the cool killer or charmer, you I was thinking sexy killer," Dark smirked.

That smirk pissed Cato off. He grabbed Dark again and held him off the ground for the second time that night.

"Do I really have to warn you about the way you talk to my sister? I thought you would remember all the kids I beat to a pulp for looking at her the wrong way," Cato growled.

"Now let's calm down let him go," Gloss said standing in.

Cato glared before dropping Dark again. I sighed Cato had beat up a lot of kids for looking at me the wrong way. Cato is very protective of me; I'm glad I was second best fighter after him or our whole school would have been dead.

**Marvel's POV**

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I'm stuck with two girls that are so stupid it's not even funny. I'm surprised that they can actually spell their names. We were about to start watching the reaping's when the elevator dinged and three people walked in. There was a lanky guy, an extremely muscular guy and an extremely beautiful girl. I couldn't believe just how gorgeous the girl was. I wanted this girl she's make everyone in District 1 jealous and envious, too bad we have to kill each other in a few days. Cashmere ran over hugging the lanky guy calling him Dark. I rolled my eyes she is suck a ditz.

"These must be the tributes of District 2. I'm Cashmere and this is my brother Gloss. And the tributes are Glimmer and Marvel," Cashmere said introducing all of us.

The two behind Dark didn't look like they really cared. Now that I look at them they look a lot alike, even down to the blank emotionless expressions.

"These are the Valentine Twin's Cato and Cata," Dark said.

That's why, they're twins well that explains a lot. Cata and Cato like most twins named almost exactly the same. Her icy blue eyes looked around the room taking everything in.

"You two aren't going to get sponsors acting like brick walls. Now come on show some emotion," Cashmere said sometimes she just didn't know when to stop.

Cata closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, I noticed they were warmer and looking welcoming, completely different than how icy her eyes just looked.

"Is this any better?" she asked smirking at Cashmere, she's got guts.

"Yes, but the sarcasm isn't appreciated. Dark what are your ideas with these two?" Cashmere huffed, ha-ha bitch.

"Yeah Dark, what idea do you have for Cato and I?" Cata asked smirking. She's cocky and I like that, it makes her look very sexy.

"Cato obviously the cool killer or charmer, you I was thinking sexy killer," Dark smirked his eyes moving up and down Cata's body.

I focused my glare on Dark. I would make Cata my girl and this motherfucker wasn't going to change that. Even though we have to kill each other I want to have fun for maybe my last few days or have the experience of a lifetime. I looked at Cato seeing his eyes darken he was pissed. He grabbed Dark and held him off the ground.

"Do I really have to warn you about the way you talk to my sister? I thought you would remember all the kids I beat to a pulp for looking at her the wrong way," Cato growled.

"Now let's calm down let him go," Gloss said standing in.

Cato glared before dropping Dark to the ground. Now Cato would be a problem in trying to make Cata mine, but how scary can he really be?
