Peeta Pov:

I couldn't believe what I was told from that Gale guy! My Katniss had ran away??!! Even though it was momentarily I knew that the Capitol could still want revenge for her smart maneuvering and for outsmarting them. She might not be safe-not even for a couple days.

Plus-the ceremony to honor us was soon approaching, it was in only half an hour or so! What was I supposed to do about that? I knew I should have never given her the demand about picking me or Gale… I still felt guilty about that, my sweet Katniss, worrying over who she should be with-the obiously perfect choice of me or the ragged dude Gale-who of course all girls seemed to like. The thought of all the girls, including Katniss running after him like a bald baby had shot arrows in their bottoms made me angry.

"What are we going to do about Katniss?"

His voice came out of nowhere, startling me.

"What was that?"

I asked annoyed, the guy was just plain annoying after all, I couldn't help it. He gave a long sigh before beginning again,

"What-are-we-going-to-do-about-Katniss? You know the star struck lover who ran away from both our affections?"

His voice dripped in pain, and that very pain made me happy, but those very words dug their own blade into my heart, she indeed had ran from the pair of us.

"I don't know, why can't you come up with an idea smart one?" Okay, okay, okay, maybe that was too much sarcasm, he was defiantly not smart…at all.

Gale Pov:

Hmm…smart one, maybe he was actually being the honest one now. Because I had to face it, I was of course very smart…not to mention incredibly handsome because all the girls, except Katniss, loved me…it was kind of annoying actually though.

"Hey-I'm smart but aren't you the one with the 'survivor' skills-after all you did win the Hunger Games…or at least stand by while Katniss did all of the hard work."

His face contorted up into a wild scowl, and he snarled under his breath.

"Hey-I didn't just 'stand by!' If you were really watching I did in fact kill at least one person-more actually-the girl who ate the berries-well I gathered those berries."

"Sure, sure you did-one scrawny little girl who Prim could kill, and of course you were incompetent enough to find the wrong berries that you were going to eat."

"Well, Mr. I'm-all-talk-and-no-show, I'm sure you would of managed a lot, as in you probably would have managed to kill yourself before the games started!"

I wondered briefly if he was delusional? How could I kill myself before the games started? I knew how to eat without choking-choking! I remembered how I thought Katniss was choking in the woods, and then remembered Katniss herself.

"Pine! Stop! We have to go find Katniss, let's try to be civilized for an hour or two and find her already!"

He looked annoyed when I said Pine instead of Peeta, but with the word Katniss he realized I of course was right and settled in to his chair.

"Fine-fine, you're…you're-"

"right?" I asked, amused.

"Yes. Ok, you are right. Oh and it's Peeta, not pine. Now what's the last thing she said to you?"

I closed my eyes and willed myself to remember. After all it was for Katniss.

"She, she said she was going to-his house. That he would help her. That's all."

Peeta looked blank for a minute then gasped and said in relief, "She's gone to Haymitch's!"

"Here-what are we waiting for, let's go! Now!"

We both ran-trying to beat each other as if it were a race-to the door and yanked it open. Then we---ran into a heavy wall?

No-I realized it wasn't a wall it was a heavy armor suit, and the man behind it looked lethal.

"I'm sorry boys, you won't be going anywhere-but your friend Katniss will be. And remember don't tell anybody you saw me-otherwise the girl dies."

He held up a medium sized squirming bag. A hysterical voice was coming from in it that sounded muffled.

I gasped in realization. My poor Katniss. I would save her-and then she would love me! But I didn't know how or who the man was. He stalked away from my porch leaving me and Peeta crying and hopeless.

Ha, ha! A cliffhanger. Review and u will see if Katniss will survive. Don't worry it's not just a random person who decided to kidnap her either. It has to do with the book!
