As soon as Gale figured out that the Capitol's going to try to wipe out Twelve, he could only think of Madge. He instructed Rory to take as many people as he could to the meadow. He then turned to Hazelle and told her to pack everything of emotional importance, namely a few pictures of her husband. Then, he's flying. He went to Thom's first, only to find him already out on his porch because of the mysterious and abrupt power cut.
The power cut was not unusual. What was unusual was the fact that it had happened during the Games. Thom looked at Gale approaching form and came down the porch to meet at the sidewalk. Gale only told Thom to trust him and to get as many people as he could to the meadow. As he made to run again, Thom grips his wrist and asks him the reason with an air of stubbornness . Knowing better than to resist, Gale only said 6 words, "The Capitol's gonna wipe out Twelve".
Understanding flashes in Thom's face immediately and he nods before letting go of Gale's wrist and running inside. Knowing that Thom would get his own family out first, Gale starts running again. He sprints to the Mayor's Mansion along the small road out back and finds her out in the back garden, her dress poofing around her knees as she lay down, just looking at the sky. She still hadn't noticed Gale running towards her and if times had been better, he would have just stopped there for a minute to take in her beauty and innocence.
However, there was a crisis at hand and Gale sped up even more when she came into view. Madge sat up and turned to look at him when she heard his approach. She had one look at his face and she stood up quickly. She rushed towards him to meet him at the fence. Her query was just forming on her lips when Gale raised his hand to stop her.
"Madge" he wheezed out "Get your family and go to the meadow".
AN: I'm sorry that this chapter is so short but something of the utmost importance came up. Don't worry (if you're worrying at all), I'll probably update within the week. So, follow and review. Thanks!
