Hi everyone! I felt inspired today so I made a Hunger Games story! Gale's POV if I haven't made this clear in the title. See if you can tell it's Gale from the story. Please critique or say yay! That means R&R! I know I'm making this out of Gale's point of view, but I'm a Peeta fan!
"We could do it you know," I say to Katniss.
"What?" she inquires.
"Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I we could make it."
Katniss looked at me as if I were crazy.
"If we didn't have to many kids!" I add quickly.
Nothing has been romantic between Katniss and I. She won't have any trouble finding a husband. I can hardly remember the times that we weren't friends. I'm probably going to the Games. So many entries.
"See you at the square," she says.
"Wear something pretty," I say flatly.
We walk out of the forest and go home.
The reaping...
I see Katniss. I wave. She waves back. She mouthes, good luck.
The first name is drawn for the female tribute.
Please don't be Katniss, please don't be Katniss, please don't be Katniss! I chant in my head.
"Primrose Everdeen!" Effie reads smiling.
It's not Katniss, but Prim? She's too young! She can't go! She can't die at this age!
"NO! PRIM!" Katniss screams.
Prim walks up towards the stage. Katniss must be heartbroken.
"I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER!" Katniss screams.
Katniss, no! I yell in my head.
"NO! NO! KATNISS! NO!" Prim screams. She latches on to Katniss. I pull her off and carry her back into the crowd.
All I'm thinking now is 'please don't draw me.'
"Wow! Interesting turn of events! Now, I bet that you are her sister!" Effie says, probably glad that something has happened in this district.
"Yes," Katniss says miserablely.
"Now for our male tribute. And he is... Peeta Mellark!" Effie reads happily.
Who's that? Wait, he's the baker's son! Well, we've never been friends.
"Give it up for the tributes of district 12!" she declared clapping.
We all didn't clap. We gave the 3 fingered salute.
After the reaping...
I open up my arms and she runs into them.
"It's okay! You know how to kill!" I attempt to reassure her.
"Not people!" she protests.
"You'll learn how to!" I tell her.
I deeply believe she will come back. She will. She might not, but know she will.
On the train...
"Gale!" Katniss acknowledged me.
"Katniss. Okay, you need a bow and arrow! Make one, steal one, but just get one! Don't worry about your family, I got them covered!" I instruct her.
A Peacekeeper comes in.
"Katniss, remember I-" the door shuts out my last words. I wish she could remember that I love her.
