Cato was still fast asleep, lying down on his stomach.

Clove returned to her room to see Cato laying there. Good. He hadn't woken up and seen her go. She left him there to go do some training, so he would think she had done that all along. She soon mastered 31 meters and moved onto 32. This was as fast as she'd ever mastered them before. She guessed it was because of all the pressure resting on her to help Cato.

If her name was called.

Cato opened his eyes and noticed Clove wasn't beside him. He frowned slightly.

Clove continued to practice until her arms were sore. She had mastered the ability to slice dummies heads of in one throw by that time. She went and took a seat at the benches.

Cato walked out of the dorms and out into the training area.

Clove saw Cato come in. She didn't know what to do. She felt like if she went close enough he would read her mind or see it in her expression, but she knew if she stayed away he'd be suspicious. She decided to go up to him.

"Cato!" she exclaimed, running up to him.

Cato looked towards Clove, he smiled.

"Where'd you go?"

Clove was speechless for a second, feeling guilty about what she was about to say. She had never wanted to lie to Cato.

"Oh, just down here to train, that's all. I can behead the dummies now!" She said, sounding as convincing as possible.

Cato smiled.

"That's great cutie," he told her and kissed the top of her head. "Gotta head home soon." He frowned.

"Oh, ok." Clove replied. "I'll miss you babe!" She added with a smile.

"I'll miss you too." Cato answered, kissing her lips gently. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok. I love you!" She said, returning the kiss.

"I love you too." He smiled and left the academy.

The rest of the week continued as per usual. Clove threw knives from even further away, Cato improved his sword fighting skills, and they would stop to kiss and chat quite often. Clove hid her secret quite well, and told Cato she had decided not to volunteer. Cato believed her. Now her fate rested solely in the escorts hands as she chose the name of the girl...
