Cato POV:
After the bombing we left the shelter. I was immediately called to the Communication Room to talk about the rescue of Clove and the others. When I walk in, I see the President, Finnick, Brutus, Haymitch, Enobaria, Plutarch, Ky and others.
"We are here to talk about the rescue of Clove and the others," the President announces, bringing the meeting to an opening.
"Well as I said before, we need to rescue them," I say fiercely.
"And as I said, Cato, it's too dangerous," President Coin says with just the same amount of venom in her voice.
"I agree with Cato, again," Finnick adds in.
"Agrees with what?" Ky asks everyone.
"The idea to rescue Clove and the others," I spit at him. He just glares at me.
"I personally volunteer to join the squad to help rescue Clove," he says.
"No," I growl at him, "he can't go," I look towards Brutus, Enobaria, Haymitch and Plutarch.
"Why not Cato?" Plutarch asks calmly.
"Because he proposed to Clove then after she said no, smashed a tv over her head," I say, still glaring at Ky.
"Cato, we need as many men as we can get on our rescue team," President Coin says. I look to Brutus, but he only agrees.
"The President is right, not many people will volunteer, so we can get as many as we can get." I glance at Ky who has a smirk plastered on his face.
"Well I'm going too, when are we going?" I ask Coin.
"Now," she says, leading us towards the Command Room. I walk in and I see a tall man standing at the table. He was wearing camouflage shirt and pants.
"General Wood," President Coin addresses him. He nods and sits down. We all proceeded to our seats and we discussed the rescue mission. Sitting in the room was Finnick, Brutus, Enobaria, Ky and I. I was surprised that Brutus and Enobaria would volunteer, but they insisted, saying that Clove was special to them and that they would do that for her.
"This is a small group, but better for attacks. We will launch a mission and traveling to the Capital, but plane, and rescuing them all," Wood says.
"And when we're inside?" I ask.
"We will then have 2 people go towards Clove, Annie and whoever else is there, and the other 4 will scout the area, preparing to help the other 2 if there are problems," he says seriously.
"Now we will supply you with guns and other equipment needed for this mission," Coin says. They then led us to a room connected to the room we were just in. Inside it was grey with weapons lining the walls. We got dressed with all the District 13 technology. We each got a bullet proof vest, a walkie talkie, two pistols that strapped to our pants, 100 rounds of bullets, and a weapon of our choice. Of course I chose a deadly looking sword that now hung to my belt. Finnick got a trident, Brutus got a spear, Enobaria got a spear, and Ky got an awl. We were all equipped and the hovercraft came.
"Good luck!" Haymitch said as we were propelled into the air. Throughout the hour it took to get there, all I did was imagine meeting Clove. When we were about to be near the Capital, everyone got up and got prepared. When we were close enough, we all jumped out of the plane and landed in a space near the prison like place. We snuck inside, only killing two officers in the process. Then we split up. It was decided that me and Finnick would rescue the others, while the rest of them hid in the facility. Me and Finnick took off, running towards the place that our holograms directed us. Once we were there we were confronted with a door. I easily took out a District 13 key and inserted into the lock. It opened almost instantly and I barged inside, looking around for Clove. When I entered, I saw the grey walls and the beds, but I also saw blood smears on the floor.
"Finnick!" I hear a voice yell, and a woman ran into his arms, hugging him and kissing him.
"Annie!" he exclaimed excitedly, pulling her in closer. We pulled away for a second, searching her for scars, but there were no external ones. "I'm so glad that you're okay!" I look around. "Clove?" I called.
"Cato?" a familiar voice asked. I looked to see Johanna holding a small blanket that she cradled.
"Johanna? Where's Clove?" I ask immediately.
"Oh Cato, they took her," Johanna said sadly.
"Took her?" I repeated.
"Yes, they take her every morning and beat her, trying to get answers about where the District 13 rebels are," just then an agonizing scream rung through the room, it sounded far away, I saw Johanna shiver and Annie bury her face in Finnick's chest, crying, "is that her?" I ask weakly. She just nods.
"Cato we need to go," Finnick said.
"One sec," I said.
"We need to go, now," Finnick said. I knew he was right. All of a sudden I hear beeping and I pull out my walkie talkie. "Everyone evacuate the building!" I reluctantly leave, but not before the bundle that Johanna was holding was pushed into my hands.
"Cato, Clove gave birth yesterday, this is your son, Stephan," Johanna says. I slowly take the baby from her arms. "Clove would want you to take him," she finishes. I cradle the baby in my arms, "tell Clove I'm coming back for her, and that I love her," I tell Johanna, she nods and I start to run to the exit. When we finally get out and onto the hovercraft, I separate myself from the group and look at my child.
"Stephan Ludwig," I say, looking down at the baby. He looks just like me, but with Clove's lips, nose and freckles. I reach my hand out and he grabs my finger, laughing. "It's okay, I'm your daddy. And I love you so much, and your mommy loves you so much," I say to the baby. The baby laughs and I smile down at him. But then I think sadly, Clove had to go through labor without someone there that she truly loved. I wish that I was there, comforting her and being there for the first birth of my child. But I'm happy that Clove was strong enough to do that by herself. I look down at the child in my arms, the child who's mother is not here.
I threw some Odesta in, what do you think?
