Katniss picked up her bow, and shot him in the head. Suddenly, with that split second, it had all ended. But here's how it started:
"Prim, I'm going hunting with Gale. Make sure that mom eats." Katniss said while laycing up her new leather boots. Katniss stepped outside to the fresh flowers that had just bloomed after a long, harsh winter. There stood Gale, with his worn-put jeans, his black boots, and his vest that he can't seem to ever get rid of. It seemed like the old days, the days before the reaping. The days that didn't suck as much as they do now. Katniss thought "Maybe today will be different. Maybe today will bring us back to when we could be less private, and we didn't have as many restrictions."
When they got to the forest, Katniss dug into the tree stump that she usually hides her bow and arrow, but it wasn't there. "Gale?" she said "Where's my bow?" Katniss said while turning her head to see Gale with a gun to his head by a peacekeeper. "Katnip, I love you. You need to run." Gale said calmly as if it were the last words he would ever tell her. Katniss began to tear. She sucked it up, heald up her chin and said "Give me my bow." The peacekeeper was holding it in his hands and threatened to snap it. Gale repeated "Katnip, RUN!" Katniss took one last glimpse of Gale and sprinted to the gates.
She ran all the way to Peeta's house. "They took him. They're going to kill him. He's going to be dead in the next 5 seconds, and there's nothing I can do." Katniss said while panting and almost collapsing to the ground. Tears came to her eyes, and she couldn't breathe. "Whoah, whoah, wait, Gale? The peacekeepers have Gale?" Katniss nodded while trying to wipe the years away. "Okay, so maybe they have him in the town square... Let's go find him." Peeta said as reassuringly as he could.
When they got to the town square, they saw the head peacekeeper. He was very well known, but everyone hated him. He was holding a gun to Gale's head. Katniss stepped into the square. "Don't hurt him." Katniss said bravely. "Kill her" the head peacekeeper said while motioning his head towards Katniss. "No!" Peeta shouted. "Okay then, you choose. Who will die? Him or him?" The peacekeeper pointed to Gale and Peeta. "Katniss, I know you love him. I'll die. For you Katniss. Only for you. I couldn't think of any other person I would rather die for." Said Peeta. Katniss cried. She finally said "Me. I choose me. I would rather die." The peacekeeper's eyes open wide, and said "Works for me, he put the gun up to her head, but just in time, Peeta pushed the gun out of his hand. The peacekeeper picked up the gun and shout Peeta in the stomach. "I thought it would be fun to watch you die slowly." The peacekeeper said with a smirk on his face. He walked away.
"Katniss?" Peeta said softly while shaking in pain. Katniss leaned in. "Katniss, I want you to know that I'm happy. I'm happy dying for you." Katniss smiled with tears running donwn her cheek. "Peeta, Haymitch once said that I could live a thousand lifetimes, and I would still never deserve you. He was right." Katniss hugged Peeta and he slowly died.
Katniss got up angrily and picked up her bow that he had left on the ground. Katniss followed the peacekeeper. He made his way to her home. When Katniss got into the house, she found the peacekeeper holding a knife to prim's neck. "No!" Katniss yelled. "Kill me! Kill me!" Katniss shreaked. The peacekeeper took the gun and shot Katniss's mother. BANG! Katniss grabbed Gale, and buried her face into his vest. She began to cry. Then... BANG! Gale is dead too. Katniss heald up her bow. The peacekeeper stabbed Prim in the neck. Katniss fell to her knees and screamed "You monster!" Katniss pulled back her bow, and then.. just like that. It was over.
