CHAPTER ONE: JUST A LITTLE BLOOD
Cato sat in a lab in a science testing room. He sat on a doctors table ready to get some blood drawn for some tests. They told him a nurse would be with him a moment but it had been forever. Cato had no patience.
The last thing he remembered from his home was the feeling of six different muttations tearing him limb from limb, then Katniss shooting an arrow into.... his head? Then Cato blacked out. He assumed he died because when he woke up in this testing lab he was sore.
The nurse came in with the blood drawer and wiped a cold cotton ball on Cato's bicep. "This might sting." She said looking at Cato.
"It wont." Cato said as she stuck the needle into his arm. He didnt flinch. The nurse took the blood.
"We'll have the results in an hour." She said giving Cato a bandaid.
"Great more waiting." Cato said. "What exactly is this test for?" He asked.
"We want to make sure your healthy and human." The lady said.
"Human? Why wouldn't I be human?" He asked after the lady was gone. Cato shook his head silently and walked out of the little room. The place was like a cozy hospital in a small town. It was hard to believe this was New York. Then again, the whole place was underground.
Cato sighed and took a seat in the hallway outside. He let out a large breath and leaned back letting his eyes slowly close. A minute later Cato was in a deep sleep. He dreamed he was back in the arena fighting off the muttations. Knives thudded into the beasts' backs. They fell to the ground dead. Cato looked up and saw Clove with her long dark hair and muddy face. Seeing her made him smile.
"Clove?" He asked. "Clove, what are we doing here?" He asked lowering his eyebrows.
Clove's expression changed from a friendly smile to a frightened look. Cato turned to see what she was looking at but before he knew it a bolder fell and hit Clove once again in the head.
"Clove!" He yelled falling to his knees to help her. Clove's skull was dented in and bleeding. He looked away with teary eyes. Then he looked up to see Peeta standing over him. Muttations came from everywhere and began to pull on Cato's body, completely ignoring Peeta as if he wasn't there.
Cato jerked away as he hears his shoulder dislocate. He sits up. He was safe. Safe in the hospital.
"Mr. Cato, we have you test results." A nurse said. Cato looked up and walked over to the nurse.
"So what is it?" He asked.
"Youre healthy and human. You may go to your dorm now." She said. "Or go explore New York."
Cato thanked her and went on his way.
