Afghanistan

by wolfsarecoolerthanvamps

Gale, Katniss's brother, is stationed in Afghanistan. When he gets sent on a mission he meets Peeta Mellark, Finnick Odair, and more guys that just wanna get home. What will happen when one of Gale and Peeta return home for leave and Katniss falls in love with Peeta but he goes back to Afghanistan in two weeks? Summary sucks, there's a better one inside.

1. Chapter 1

Gales POV

My names Gale Hawthorne and I'm a Private First Class in the United States of America's Army. I'm currently in hell.

Katniss POV

"Mom!?" "Yeah Kat?" "Gales on the phone and he want's to talk to you! It sounds important!" My mom runs over and grabs the phone, tears of joy streaming down her face. My brother, Gale, has been stationed in Arizona for 6 months as a Private First Class in the United States Army.

Days after 911, Gale wen't to the nearest recruiting station to enlist. It's been my mom, Gale, me, and our younger sister Prim for as long as we can remember so when Gale wen't to enlist, it broke us all. I've never seen my older brother look more determined though then he did signing those papers.

A month after he signed, they sent him to Boot Camp for 9 weeks. This was the first time Gale would be away from us, but we knew that it would only get harder. After 9 weeks of Boot Camp Gale came back looking like a rock. He's always had muscles from working on the farm, but when he came back from PT his muscles looked more defined. More like rock.

Gale got stationed in Arizona about a month after he came back from PT and has been stationed there ever since.

While Prim and I are playing tag outside, I notice mom drop to the floor. I run inside and see her crying on her hands and knees, the phone hung up beside her. I get on the floor with her and gather her in my arms. "Mom?! What's wrong?!" "Gale." she says. "He's getting sent to Iraq."

I swear my heart stopped. I pull her off the floor and look in her eyes. "Mom, Gale can do this. He'll be okay. He's strong, fast, and brave. He'll come home." Mom closes her eyes and goes to rest on the couch.

Gale called again 3 days later and said that he'd be leaving next week with a couple of other troops to form a special team to do special operations. They may have gotten a lead on someone important and someone had to go investigate it. That someone had to be my brother and their team.

Authors Note

So this is kind of like a longed summary. What do you guys think? Would it be cool to write a story like this. This story came from when I was watching something on the history channel yesterday about Vietnam. The idea automatically came to me and I wanted to do a story like this. I have a ton of ideas, and all your favorite characters from the trilogy will be in it. :) I'm excited. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW.

*Also if you a fan of Divergent, check out my new story called Life In Dauntless. It's about Tris being in the most notorious street gang in Chicago. But what happens she she meets a guy that happens to be in the Prodigy's? Her enemy gang? Only time will tell.
