The Hunger Games Imagines

🗡{Rescue}🗡Cato X Reader

Thank you DarkHorse54 for requesting this! Um, also, because I got no idea on a district, for this one, you'll be in District 12. First thing came there, just trust me on this. Also, we'll be changing some of it up for the end...hope you enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were continuing silently down the damp path of dirt, bow at the ready. It's been a couple days in this wretched arena, and you hated it. People were watching everywhere. It was bothering and disturbing.

You sighed, deciding to take a break after venturing in the forest in hopes of some edible berries to eat.
Taking a quick swing of water, you looked at your surroundings that filled nothing but trees.

You made another sigh escape your lips, then got up and kept on moving. Staying still equals certain death.

You suddenly heard a groan a few feet away from you. You carefully look around a shrub to find a strange sight—Cato, the ruthless boy from District 2, was injured. How you might ask? Well, you noticed a nasty gash on his arm, and a cut on his cheek. Although you had a tiny, ok not tiny, huge crush on the Career, you knew that the odds haven't been in your favour recently and it isn't going to get better. But seeing him there made your heart flutter. After having a mental debate on whether or not you should help him, you ended up dragging him into a small hole in a tree, that you've used to keep you safe.

Tending to his injuries, your mind was screaming at you. Sure, you may have a crush on him, but he could kill you right when you wake up as your thank you! It's too late to turn back now. You could have killed him easily.

You decided to try and make a comfortable place for the muscular boy to sleep, then somehow got some rest as well, outside of the hole.

You woke up right at the break of dawn, making a breakfast with extra food for Cato in case he woke up. After having your quick portion of berries (there were no nightlock berries), meat, and water, you checked up on Cato to see how he was doing.

The Career healed up pretty fast, his wounds were only just slivers of red. His breathing was much calmer, and he finally looked peaceful. You admired him from afar during training, and especially during his interview. But what would him, living in a rich district, and much stronger than you, do to you, a poor, girl from the seam? You didn't notice how long you were staring at him until you noticed his body tense. He was waking up.

Quickly, you scurried as far as you could back, which was not that far, away in case Cato would tend to grab his sword and hurt you. His blue eyes opened, wandering around until they met your (e/c) ones. His eyes widened, jumping up and freaking out.

"Calm down! Your scars will bleed out again, and I'm not in the mood to heal them again..." You exclaimed, muttering the last bit under your breath, which, unfortunately, Cato heard. "You...helped me?" His expression changed from confusion, to surprise, to shock, to happiness, all these weird emotions, sending butterflies to your stomach. You looked at him and you could feel your cheeks heating up. "Yes, yes I did." To this, Cato stared at you for a while and then a small smile came on to his face. "Thank you, (Y/N)." You returned the gesture.

Cato always thought you were beautiful, he noticed you easily out of training. You may have or have not made the boy from 2 develop feelings for you, but he couldn't really tell you them.

You handed him a bit of your breakfast, in which he gladly ate up like a hungry wolf.

"Attention, tributes, attention. Knowing it is sunrise, there will be a feast at the cornucopia, though this will be no ordinary feast..."

This alerted you and Cato as the game makers never done something like this before.

"Each of you will receive a bag. One for each district. They will contain something you need, desperately..."

Bullshit. The Capitol was asking for another bloodbath. You sighed. Cato's wounds still haven't healed fully yet.
"I'll go get both." You got up, and grabbed your bow along with an extra knife. To this, Cato grabbed your arm.
"No! It's not worth it!" He protested. You turned around. "Yes. I am going to grab my bag, and yours. I will not wait any longer. You are still injured. You need that bag!" You would not let Cato get you, he needed the items in the bag, no matter what he said.

"Why do you care about me so much?!" "BECAUSE I LIKE YOU!!" Your voice screamed, silencing Cato. A small blush was showing on both of your faces, and his eyes widened.

"I'm going. You are not stopping me." And with that, you left the area, in search of the two bags that will potentially save your life.

It's not done yet...but I wanna ask y'all something...WHY DOES THE HUNGER GAMES AND HARRY POTTER HAVE SO MANY FREAKING CONNECTIONS?!
If you don't understand...then I'll explain. Effie Trinket And Dolores Umbridge looks so similar. President Snow and Albus Dumbeldore look similar. And last but not least, Glimmer is like Pansy Parkinson trying to get Cato's/Draco Malfoy's attention! Comment if you agree...
Anyway, continue reading! (^.^)

When you got to the feast, your legs were already boosting you to the cornucopia, just like how they did when you grabbed the bow and shot off into the woods. You grabbed the bag for District 2 and 12 and shot off, but before you could reach the tree line...

Glimmer threw a fucking knife near your head, which you luckily dodged. (Didn't see that coming, did ya?)
You quickly plucked an arrow and it went flying to Glimmer's left arm, in which she groaned. Sooner by, you two were wrestling, not only for survival, but to kill. Eventually, knowing that Glimmer was also stronger, pinned you to the ground and a knife was held by your neck.

"Where's lover boy?" She teased, her disgusting voice dripping off her tongue. She then noticed the District 2 bag nearby and scowled. "You're helping District 2? I could hardly believe that. Such a shame you had to go to waste." She sneered. Grabbing another knife, she was about to impale your skull, squeezing your eyes shut, when you felt her weight off you.
This made you open your eyes and see Cato angrily holding Glimmer against the cornucopia.

"You were about to kill her?" He growled. Glimmer was terrified, shaking her head furiously. "N-No!" She squealed.
"I saw you!"
"I-I—"

It was too late for her, her body crashed against the metal structure and cracks were heard. Cato then let her body limp on the ground.

He turned to see you, terrified, gripping onto both bags. His eyes softened and rushed towards you, scooping you into his chest.

"I told you that you shouldn't have come here!" He exclaimed yet again, tightening his grip on you, playing with you
(h/c) locks. You pulled your head out of his chest and placed your lips on his, in which he gladly accepted. It was warm, sweet, and passionate. Pulling away, you placed your forehead on his.

"You didn't let me finish before you left. I was about to say, 'I like you too.'" He said with a smirk playing on his lips.
"Oh, shut up." You replied, kissing him again. Maybe you both had a chance to get out together,

How was the first Imagine? Was it ok? I really hope it was! Let me know how I did, and also, I'm gonna try and send all of you a video of a YouTube video I made, and I honestly think it was funny. Hope you all liked it!
