A/N: Hello again to those of you who have read my stories before! And an extra special hello to those of you who have never read my stories before! I have three other stories on Fan Fiction but this is my first of many Hunger Games stories (so please don't be too hard on me) I plan to write! I just finished the book a few weeks ago and thought it was amazing! Now I'm in the middle of Catching Fire and I love it! This story will start in the midst of The Hunger Games and Spiral into Catching Fire and maybe a little bit of Mockingjay. You'll get snippets of Gale's POV at first but you'll have more of it as we get to the part where CF starts! I like Gale even if I'm totally Team Peeta! Sorry that was long but I just thought you needed to know that! Enjoy the story! :)
Disclaimer: All rights to The Hunger Games belong to Suzanne Collins. Even if I wish Peeta was mine! LOL! :)
KPOV: Seneca Crane's voice blared over the speakers in the arena. "Attention remaining tributes! There has been a slight change in the ruling of the Games. Two victors will now be allowed to claim the crown as long as they both come from the same district! Good luck, remaining tributes and may the odds be ever in your favor." And then the arena went completely silent as news sunk in to the six remaining minds in the arena.
After I, myself had processed this new rule, one thought passed through my mind. Peeta. I needed to find him, and fast at that. If Cato had cut him really bad I had to find him as quickly as possible for fear that he might not survive if I didn't. I suddenly found myself screaming "PEETA!" out into the arena. What was wrong with me? How stupid could I possibly be? The unrequited scream I had just let slip past my lips could have just triggered my own eminent death.
I'm praying that Cato and Clove hadn't heard me. But did Peeta? In the middle of pondering that thought, I heard Cato and Clove's voices coming through the trees. I quickly ducked behind one, more interested in preserving my own life than I was in eavesdropping on what they were saying. But I heard them anyway.
"So you cut Lover Boy up pretty bad, huh?" I heard Clove ask. I immediately started awake, listening more intently. I knew 'Lover Boy' was Peeta. How bad is he? I thought. My question was answered as soon as Cato responded, "Yeah. Left him lying just on the north end of the river. Hope he bleeds out soon. Now let's focus on the big guy from Eleven. We'll worry about Lover Boy's girlfriend later.
As soon as they were far enough away I came out from behind the tree I had hidden behind. The only thoughts that were going through my mind were racing through it quickly. And those thoughts consisted of, Peeta. Leg. Cut. Bad. North. River.
I didn't know why but as soon as I thought Peeta's name I felt a strange warm and fuzzy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I wondered what it was but I childishly dismissed it as lack of food. It was stupid of me, really considering that I never really ate that much. But I would have more time to assess the feelings later. For now I began hiking north to the river so I could find Peeta (ugh, there's that weird fuzzy feeling again!).
PPOV: As I layed camouflaged in the riverbank, thriving in the intense pain in the upper part of my left leg, I prayed that nobody would find me except the one person I wanted to find me. Katniss. Nothing I said at the interview with Ceaser was a lie. I truly have and had been in love with her for what seemed like forever. And now that they were allowing two victors from the same district, I might get my shot with her. Psh, wishful thinking. I thought. She's got her friend Gale who's more handsome than you, older than you and her, and who understands her and knows her better than you do. But hey, a guy can dream, can't he? Oh, Katniss, I thought desperately. Please come for me.
A/N: Hope you guys liked it! Next chapter will be longer, I promise! But that is… only of you want the next chapter! I need five reviews to continue at least! So please review with feedback and wether or not you want me to continue!
Thanks for Reading,
