Dangerous Love

~2

I sat in a chair in front of the desk. His snake eyes watched me and made me uncomfortable. I wish Finnick could have sat with me, least then I might be able to get through this talk. Snow folded his hands upon the desk and straightened up.

"You have created lots of problems since the games ended."

"What kind of problems?"

"Rebellion in the districts, that can not me quenched."

Rebellion. My actions in the games have lead to rebellious districts. I never meant for that to happen, I just couldn't kill Cato.

"The districts don't believe your love story with that boy from Two. They don't believe the suicide pact between to lovers who could not live life without each other." He stood from the desk and walked to look out the window. "I need you and Cato to make your love believable, to end these rebellions. Make me believe your love."

He looked back out the window, which looked over the sea. The only thing I like about this house is the view of the sea. Another thing that kept me calm while being away from Cato.

"I'll try." I said.

"I need a little more then just, I'll try. Disobeying my orders would be a horrible decision. You love Finnick don't you? And Annie? You wouldn't want anything to happen to them, right?" He asked walking back over to the desk.

"Don't you dare touch them!" I said and stood from my chair.

"Remember who you are talking to before you make anymore threats. Just do this one last thing and you can live happily."

"Will I have Cato?"

"You'll have your cat. Now go get dressed, you can't be late for the cameras.

I sat in a chair as my prep team worked on my face and hair. Ace stood in a corner and got my outfit ready. Finnick had left to take Cato to Annie's house. He will be staying their until I get back.

I closed my eyes and tried to dose off, but they kept talking to me. They talked about the games and about our love. The Capitol people seem to believe the love between Cato and I. I wondered why the district didn't.

Do I really want to stop them? Finnick talked of people who were tried of the games and the rule of the Capitol. I was tried of it too. I want through the games and I'm ruined because of it.

Once my hair and face was done, Ace put me into a short thin dark blue dress. The dress fell to the tops of my thighs and had no sleeves. My hair was done up in a bun and I was given a pair of sandals to wear. The sandals were white and stopped at my ankles.

Finnick walked in as the clean up began, to put my necklace around my neck. It was the same necklace I wore for the games, the seashell and the trident. The charms fell against my chest and gave me a sense of calmness.

"Attention! Attention please!" Griff said clapping his hands and walking towards the door. "The presentation will begin soon. Places everyone!"

Finnick wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear. His arms tighten as I tried to move away.

"What did Snow say? Did he threaten you?"

"He said the districts don't believe my love with Cato and that they are rebelling. He wants me to make them believe I love Cato." I took a deep breath, because I didn't want to cry. "He threatened to hurt you and Annie. He said; 'You wouldn't want anything to happen to them, right?'"

"We'll figure this out later. You need to go outside for the cameras."

He kissed my cheek, then let me go. Griff showed me to the door. I plastered a fake smile to my lips and walked out the open door, to the camera waiting at the stairs to my porch.

"You'll have your cat." Snow's words repeated in my head as I began to wave.
