"Cast?" that was the first thought that came to my mind when the weird looking lady in the pink outfit pulled out the name for the girls. I sighed in relief because it wasn't Katniss or Prim. I looked over and saw Katniss looking at me "its ok" I whispered and looked back up to the stage, inside I knew it could be me that got reaped to represent the guys, but quickly pushed that thought away. The lady pulled out a piece of paper "Peeta Mellerk" oh my gosh it's not me. I sighed in relief, man oh man one more year in the wood with catnip. As soon as I could I walked over to see the ecstatic Prim and Katniss hugging; when prim saw me she smiled and Katniss turned around to see me smiling a great big grin. "What am I Chopped liver? Where's my hug, catnip?" I tease and opened my arms to which catnip ran straight into my arms and held me tight. I scooped up Prim and she plopped down on my shoulders and Katniss took her moms hand I waved at her mom and we were off to the Everdeen house. We had a meal at their house and we sat around being happy that neither of us were reaped for a while then it was almost 10 and I promised Poesy id read to her if I stayed from the games. So I sundered home and saw one of my friends from the hob, we stood and talked of things like the rebellion, I told him he was dreaming while awake. I then told my friend I had to get home and walked home, when I got there however the door was open and I saw two large male figures, I knew they were peace keepers, they probably were here to tell me about what would ever happen to my family if I "had the opportunity to be in the games" then I heard a shriek. IT WAS POSEY! I ran to the door to see Vick and Rory on the floor bleeding hazel was on the floor too. I watched as they grabbed Posey; "NO! I yelled and rushed in knocking down one peace keeper, the other one picked up Posey by the neck I threw a kitchen knife and it stuck into the arm not holding Posey. he twisted his arm and I heard the crunch of Poesy's frail little neck "YOU IDIOT PECE KEEPER YOUR KILLING HER!" I yelled knocking him to the ground and Posey onto the floor. I stabbed the peacekeeper I don't know how long, finally I stopped and went over to her, I held the slowly dying Posey as she whispered "Gale?" I fought tears "yes its me Posey" I said then she whimpered "my neck hurts gale" little tears formed in her eyes "I know Posey I'm here now I'm so sorry Posey" I said "gale d-do you love me?" she whispered "ill always love you Posey" I said as a tear fell "gale am I gonna die?" she asked me " no Posey no you you're just gonna take a nap okay?" I said tear in my eyes "tew me a stowy Gale pwease" she whimpered I stood there my heart slowly breaking "o-once upon a time, t-there was a little princess" "a pwincess monkey? Gale?" she interupted I knew she liked monkeys, and climbing trees when I lifted her. "Yes a princess monkey named Posey and she climbed trees all day until her mommy and big gorilla brother called her for her …banana pudding then she went in her house and took naps and lived happily ever after" I finished "I wike dat stowy Gale…..goodnight Gale" she said " goodbye Posey" I said and watched her close her eyes. I cried and laid my head on her warm little body. I watched as a shadow crept up behind me and snuck to the door the peacekeeper ran out the door….. THE PEACE KEEPER RAN OUT THE DOOR! I ran to the door and picked up a big rock and beamed it at him, it popped him right in the head, I think he was dead. There gonna come after me, I reached my hand back inside and grabbed my hunting coat and shut the door behind me not wanting to look again, and I walked to the fence. When I got to the fence I slipped through. I went to my tree where my knife, bow and my arrows were I took all my things and went to the spot where I always met Katniss I was sure she wouldn't be there but it was a good place to sit and think. I pushed through the bushes and saw Katniss pointing an arrow dead center at my heart "GALE!" she gasped I almost died. I almost couldn't talk when I saw Prim, it had happened to them too "there dead" I started crying "THERE DEAD!" I held onto her crying. "She's gone too" she said. We pulled prim into the hug and just then we heard something in the bushes, we all broke apart I nodded at catnip and handed prim my knife, Katniss had her bow and I had mine. I put Prim on my back and we ran deeper into the woods.
