-1Chap 1:

I feel asleep soon after Gale told me. I was exhausted both physically and emotionally. The Capitol had gone to far. How many were killed? What about Gale's family? I was sure he would have gotten them to safety first, but…What if? And then there was Ripper and …. Madge. Were they under special protection from the Capitol? Or was there punishment even worse.

Even in my sleep I couldn't ignore theses questions. I dreamt of me and gale in our woods, like we used to on Sunday as bombs fell upon us and Jabber Jays recorded the screams of those I love dear. I woke up with short scream finding myself not alone. No Peeta to help, or calm me. Instead, it was Gale's arms that wrapped around me and held me close.

"It's okay Catnip, were about to land" He spoke again as if I were some wounded animal in a trap. Even though I loved the comfort and safety his arms promised…I couldn't relax. I pulled away slightly. I may have loved Gale, in…some way. But he wasn't Peeta.

Gale frowned and a bit of frustration was clear in his face, which only seemed to anger me more. What did he expect? For me to curl up in arms like a helpless child while my best friend was being tortured for answers he didn't have? Yes, I was angry., and at everyone of them which was why I didn't even bother to acknowledge Haymitch when he came in.

"Were landed. They have a small medical center and all of you will go there immediately. No arguing either. I have to speck with some people and find out exactly how much damage was done. Hopefully, get something to drink." Even though I was mad at him, I could tell he was more grumpy then usually. I watched he left and continued to stare off as Gale said something.

"He's mad because District 13 won't share there hard liquor."

"How selfish. I muttered softly not really caring much.

"Come on…I wheel you out."

"I'm fine, I can walk." I said, but proved myself wrong. As I stood up the world spun around me, and I would have hit the ground if Gale didn't grab me. "I'm Fine," I insisted as the world around me faded to black.

I woke up again to the sounds of arguing not to far from me.

"Were going back for them."

"You can't. Katniss is here, and she and the others need some medical attention, and deserve to know what the hell is going on." Haymitch's voice was clear, but the other voice remained unrecognizable.

"Tell her your self."

"I have no idea what's going on my self"

"Maybe once you sober up you will." Haymitch was silently and I imagined him sneering at him with frustration. "Look" the unknown voice continued. "Pan means a lot to me, and therefore so does Taize. The only reason why I'm here right now is on Taize's orders."

"You can't just leave."

"The hell I can't. I left them out there, so that I could get the supplies from the raid on distract 12."

"What!!" I sat up angrily interrupting there argument. "You raided the District? After it was attacked? For what toys and beer." The man turned to me frustration on his face but he said nothing. "We had nothing to began with. Was our destruction just a chance for you grab what you can and leave?" I stopped there my head spinning.

The man stepped closer looking in his early 20s. His hair was cut short and a teal colored tribal tattoo peaked out from under his short sleeves.

"Are you finished princess?" he said in a sarcastic mocking tone. "Because I have to go take care of something that doesn't involve you."

"What about Peeta?" I asked what was on my mind this whole time.

"Listen. I know he's your friend and you're the whole, Image of the rebellion, but Pan and Taize are out there right now, being punished for your crimes. So, shut up for a minute cause your little boyfriend can't be helped at this moment, and my family can. Besides without Pan and Taize, none of us would be here."
