Edit: Rewording

Alright, This is one of the first fanfictions I've attempted to write, and it's not very good. I have gone back and edited a few spelling and grammar errors but other than that, this fanfiction has been left untouched.

The original intro to this was fucking stupid so I erased it and i'm putting this in.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters or the story, they belong to the respected author. I only own the idea and plot line.

Clove

I looked around my dark, empty house as i pull the covers closer to my face. I didn't like my victors house, it was too big and empty and full of sounds. Scary sounds. Before I won the games I would have never said that I was scared but after, I broke down in fear.

I shift around trying to find a comfortable space but no use, my soft fluffy bed is to snug.

I freeze immediately when I hear a creaking sound. I know it's just nothing, maybe the wind is blowing at one of the doors in this endless house. With my eyes squeezed shut I carefully turn over slowly so I don't make a sound. I'm facing the door to my room I know what's coming in.

That's it. I hear another creek. My eyes widen as I scramble to grab my knife on my bedside table. I'm holding on to the black handle close to my chest for protection and ready to strike at any moment.

I think of Thresh standing at my doorway waiting to get revenge, but...no Thresh is ...dead right? The capitol took back his body though right?

I take a deep breath and get ready to jump out of bed and dart outside.

I sit up in my bed and carefully put my feet flat on the floor. I move the blankets of my lap and close my eyes for a second or two. On the count of three, I think gripping my knife tighter. One, Two, Three. I jump up and run out my room tearing through my house to get to the front door. I knock over a lamp and a perfectly good coffee table.

Once I reach the door I'm struggling to get the lock untwisted, I glance around nervously and jam the damned thing unlocked.

I threw myself outside and laid on the sidewalk until I knew what I was doing next. I couldn't, no wouldn't go back inside my house I look around at the victors village at all the occupied houses. Our district has the most winners so the village is quickly filling up, I can faintly hear the construction workers building on the village.

My eyes wander at the houses.

There.

I see it.

Why hadn't I thought of it before.

SO I get up brush the small rocks that was left on my stomach and chest and run towards the house.

I'm sure, wait I know that he won't mind he said I could come there anytime, but he probably didn't expect me bursting through his house at...wait what time was it? I glance at my watch. 2:30 am. I sigh as I twist the watch around my arm. Why do I even have this on? I rip off the watch and through it in the street.

Back to running.

I stop to catch my breath when I hear a sound. A sound that stops my think. Stops the world. A sound of a person walking towards me.

I scream and run as fast as I can to the door. I thrust it open as I enter the house. I go up the stairs with my hands on the walls trying to feel for anything since I can't see in this pitch black place. My fingers run across walls, door handles, tables, picture frames.

I stop as i feel the carvings that are etched in the door, marking CATO.

A smile runs across my face as I remember the day we ruined the door by taking a knife and drawing on it. My ear is pressed to the door to make sure that he is asleep. When I hear no sounds but breathing I start to twist the door nob.

The thing that happens next I'm not sure of. Maybe it was just in my head or it was real. But at this point I don't care.

I was halfway into turning the nob and opening the door when I felt something very human like touch my leg.

I let out a shriek and throw open the door. I run across the room and slide under the covers without stopping.

I throw my arms around his stomach and hug him tightly. He turns over to face me.

I take one look into his eyes and then I buried my face into his chest.

Cato

I was laying in my bed shaking of fear from my nightmare. Ever since we won the Hunger Games the memories have been haunting me.

Suddenly dozens on mutts started attacking me and the girl on Fire shot an arrow to my head killing me.

I screamed my self awake waking up panting.

I sat up in my bed and looked around and tore off my shirt and threw it somewhere in my room.

I sighed and fell back on my mattress and turned on my side facing the wall with the window letting in the moonlight.

I heard someone scream outside and closed my eyes.

The screaming was normal. I found when you were awake late enough then you would hear the screams of the past victors waking up or stuck in sleep in their nightmares.

I feel asleep again trying to think of happy things to dream of, or course you can't control you dreams.

I was dreaming about Clove. Dying.

I squeezed my eyes tighter and opened my mouth, about to scream when I hear my door burst open and a pair of arms wrap around my torso.

I turn over and see the girl looking up at me. Those beautiful eyes are unmistakable. Big blueish-violet eyes look up at me with a frightened look. I see her face and suddenly get confused.

"Clove?" I manage to say still half asleep.

In response her face disappears and all I see are tangled locks of dark blond hair.

I try to get a better look at her and I see that she is in a white wrinkled tank top and purple shorts.

I turn over so I'm laying on my back and Clove still has her arms around me so I put my arm around her and held her close.

"What happened?" i asked because clearly I had no idea why she was here.

"Thresh" she whispered.

What? That's not possible thresh was dead. I killed him.

"What?" I asked

"I...he...I saw him...nightmares" she said in a real soft voice.

Oh, she had a nightmare too...well we're all victors.

"I had a nightmare about that night Cato" she whispered in a shaky voice. It sounded like she was about to cry.

"I did too. It still haunts me. Just the thought...of losing you" I said trying to make her feel better. It didn't work. How I know? She started bawling into my chest.

"No, no Clove don't cry" I said stroking her hair.

"So...horrible"she said through her tears.

( 1 year ago )

" CATO! CATO!" I hear a voice cry out. Clove!

I stopped everything I was doing and ran towards the direction her voice can from.

"Clove!" I screamed back.

I pushed back trees and branches that got in my way. I wasn't going to lose her.

I can't win without Clove. WHERE IS SHE? I need to get to her.

"Clove! " I yell out again.

I wait for her answer but I don;t hear anything, that's when I run faster than ever before.

No, no, no. Clove.

I get to the clearing just as Thresh holds up the rock. I look at Clove and I know that she is stuck and helpless. Her eyes are filled with terror.

My eyes widen and I run towards him.

I manage to tackle him just as the rock was about to touch her head.

"Don't you ever..." I struggle to say as we're wrestling. He still has the rock in his hand and he brings it down on my left arm. I scream out in pain.

I manage to get on top of him and pull out my sword.

"...touch her" I finish saying as I bring down the sword on his heart.

I pull out my sword when I hear the cannon blast.

I get off of him and crawl towards Clove who is sitting there watching in horror.

She snaps out of it and hugs me tightly "Cato..." She says.

I look up at her and kiss her. Her eyes widen and she stiffens then she relaxes and gives in, she kisses back. It's the best feeling there is...Oh. Right yeah best feeling out there. I knew somewhere my mentor was watching and probably killing someone in anger. Whatever I'll rub in his face. I kisses Clove harder. We practically melted into each other.

All the remaining tributes watched in disgust. Even the fox girl.

Then all of a sudden a big noise (which was unknown at the moment) sounded and fox girl ran off, so did Everdeen.

Clove pulled back and said, "Come on" while taking my hand and running into the forest.

Present Day

Now I understood why she had nightmare about that so much who can blame her she was so close to getting killed.

I sat up and rested my back on the headboard.

I pulled Clove up to me and held her close to me. She curled up on my stomach and her head on my chest. I put my arm around her and stroked her hair.

"Remember when you asked me what will happen when we win?" I asked. She looked up and nodded.

"And I said that we would live in beautiful, big houses and live next to each other, and we'd be rich. And...and all the guys would want you...but I wouldn't let them, because your mine." I finished.

Clove smiled and nodded. She wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Well, I don't know when the other things are going to happen but I will never let anyone take you away from me. You are mine." I said. "...and I'll kill anyone who tries..." I said under my breath

"What?" she asks.

"Nothing, nothing.." I say.

With that she kisses me and mutters "Goodnight Cato"

We fall into a peaceful sleep.

Finally...i've been working 2 hours on this just to get it right. It might now be but I would appreciate if you have reviews and feedback.
