Katniss. Gale pretended to be telepathic and read her mind. He actually just knew what Katniss would pick, because she ALWAYS picked dare.
"I dare you... To get Cato and Clove to kiss."
"Easy!" Katniss smiled. "Hey, Cato!"
"Please don't hurt me!"
"You see your little crush over there?" she asked, pointing to Clove, who was passed out from knife withdrawal in the corner.
"Yeah. She's beautiful isn't she? Katniss, she's prettier than you!" Cato smiled like a lost, lovesick puppy.
"Okay, so Cato, you two are in a play of Sleeping Beauty. She's Aurora and you're the Prince. Right now you're rehearsing the scene where you wake her up with a kiss."
"Yeah, I love that story!" Cato nodded enthusiastically.
"But in this play, there's a twist. You have to give her a knife so that she can help you slay the evil witch fairy magic thingy"
"You mean Maleficent? I love Maleficent! Who's Maleficent?"
"Um... President Snow. But he wants to change the story, so he's hidden all the knives. You have to go and get a bread knife from Peeta's house three doors down."
"Okay!" Cato agreed eagerly.
Cato snuck through Peeta's house. There is was! A huge, serrated bread knife next to a freshly baked cheese loaf. It was big and silver, and had a tiny bit of cheese on the blade. He washed and dried it three times to make sure it was good enough for his sweetheart.
Ten minutes later, he was kneeling over the 'sleeping beauty' wearing a Medieval costume from a lost world, a country called England. He gently placed the knife in her hands, and pressed his lips against hers.
She had woken at the knife's touch, not Cato's. She lifted the smooth, cold metal blade between her lips and his. It sliced his right off, but she couldn't care less. She had a knife.
Ignoring this, Katniss spun the bottle and it landed on...
Okay, so first, I'm really sorry about the delay. Writer's block sucks! Plus it's a fairly short chapter, but lots of homework+a heavy metal fan sister+a neighbor who loves Justin Bieber and One Direction=brain turns to mush.
As usual, please review, it really makes it worth writing it!
