I do not own anything all rights go to Ms. Collins. This is going to start out slow and if i get anything wrong please correct me.

It's been 3 years since the rebellion and still there is a war. Why? Because Snow had a back up plan if he were to fail groups that he organized before he died that would still continue this war. But it's still better than what it was no more games and there's enough food to go around but there's still this war.

I'm a soldier fighting for peace for my people and I have lost a lot along the way. Every war has its price a price that sticks with you for the rest of your life. My name is Gale Hawthorne and I am a soldier and now leader of Squad 451 being the leader I was able to pick my team who consists of Johanna Mason, My brother Rory, Thom, and Enbornia who I don't fully trust but is a great asset on the team.

In District 8

We've been in 8 for the past six months fighting off what's left of Snows groups he formed before he died. 8 never recovered after the bombings and his the main control front for Snows groups. But today we get to go home back to district 2 and see our families then regroup in 2 months to come back to fight. I've always hated going back home and go back to reality and nightmares. Back at home I don't get the same respect I get with my team everyone knows about the bombing with Prim and to this day me and Katniss haven't said or seen each other in the past 3 years.

Suddenly my thoughts are cut short by the sound of Rory voice. "Gale the hovercraft will be here soon." I lift up my backpack and swing it over my shoulders. I hear the hovercraft coming to the landing stripe we set up with flares. "Alright Rory lets gets you home." Side by side me and Rory walk to the hovercraft and as soon as the doors open I almost pass out in shock. "Haymitch what the hell are you doing here!"

We take our seats in the hovercraft and it begins to take off back to district 2. Then Haymitch breaks the silent. "I have new orders for this Squad. President Paylor, has been kidnapped and we need the help of this Squad to find her and get her back." I look around at my team we all share the same expressions from anger to worry of her safety.

Johanna finally speaks up. This ought to be good. "What the how in the hell did she get kidnapped! Were her guards too busy picking their noses to notice she was gone!" I laugh to myself and Haymitch explains more. "They were under attack when it happened the guards were out gunned and out numbered no survivors.

Well that's a way to shut Johanna up. Johanna looks away and sits back down in her chair. I guess its my turn to speak."You said outnumbered? If you haven't notice we are the smallest Squad." Haymitch chuckles. "You will have new recruits brought to this team." Rory face lights up. "New recruits? Like who if I may ask?" Haymitch's eyes find mine I already know I'm not going to like what he has to say. "The new recruits are Me I will not fight I will be your eyes and ears.

Then we have Beetee, Peeta Mellark. Really Peeta sure lets invite my past back to haunt me all you need is one more name. And Finally Katniss Everdeen. You have got to be fucking kidding!

After Haymitch says her name everyone is staring at me and I clench my fists."So when do we take action?" I ask Haymitch and all the attention goes back to him."As soon as we get to District 2 gather your things cause we all are heading to 12 then the Capital." I nod my head in frustration. "Why do we have to go to 12 can't we just fly straight to the Capital?" Rory gives me an angry look all my family is back at 12 and Rory always flies back to 12 to visit them. Then when we are needed back in the field my family come with him to say goodbye.

"The rest of our team is back at 12 Gale and we are staying there until we get the go ahead to fly to the Capital" says Haymitch. I sigh in approval and try to get some sleep when we get to district 2 we all quick grab our things and head our way to 12.

Thats the end of Chapter 1 next Chapter Gale and Katniss Reunion.
