Okay, lame fillers. I know. I didn't mean to make them fillers, but while on vacation, I wrote each chapter in an email on my iPod, so they might be short. But don't worry. It is all goood.

You'll survive. You have so far, havn't you?

enjoy...


Once I enter our bedroom, the only light on is the sharp yellow bathroom one. It tunes the whole master bedroom into a faint glow. Gale is already in bed, staring up into the ceiling in deep thought.

I walk into the closet and change into my pajamas. Once I come out, I walk over and wash my face and brush my teeth. Nobody has spoken.

"Rissa," Gale sighs.

"Yes?" I reply, brushing out my blonde hair.

There is a long pause until he finally speaks up. "Rissa, I think I have an idea of what happened."

"What do you mean?" I section off my hair and begin a braid over my shoulder.

"Rissa, I have a hunch on who bombed Town Square."

"You do?"

"Yes," He sighs again, as if it is painful to realize.

"Gale..."

"Rissa, I can't believe it. I really hope that it isn't true."

I tie off my braid, turn out the light, and walk over to the bed.

"Well, who do you think did it?" I toss aside the covers and climb in.

Gale props himself on his elbow and lays on his side, facing me. "I think it is the Capitol."

My eyes widen, "What? No, it can't be. What are you talking about?" I look him in the eyes. Even in the darkness, his frigid gray eyes seem to glow with distress and worry.

He finds my hand and holds tight, "Rissa, I have been thinking that after the war, some of the people next in line to President Snow ran off. They must have taken weapons and escaped into the forest."

"It can't be like that."

He ignores my comment and keeps dwelling on his theory. "They must have reformed somewhere. There was talk at the Apothecary shop that the survivors are plotting to over through the Panem government so the original Capitol can have full reign again."

He pauses to let the words sink in.

"Gale, that is not true. That couldn't have happened...The Panem Government has only been established for about 6 or 7 years..." his expression makes me loose all confidence in what I was saying. "You're serious, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"No, Gale it can't be happening." I sit up.

He sits up along with me and pulls me into a tight embrace.

"I know Rissa; I hope my theory is wrong. But if it isn't..."

I take a deep breath. And wrap my arms around his torso, carefully avoiding the burns and medical bandage.

His words hang in the air; lifeless and dry.

THE CAPITOL CANT BE REFORMING. IT JUST CAN'T...

"Gale," I breathe in.

"Yes?" he mumbles, face buried in my hair.

"What are we going to do?"

He pauses to think, then takes a deep breath. "I don't know, Rissa, I don't know."


Aw. He is so cute. xD

What do you think should happen? BTW tomorrow leads to an INSANE twist...o.O
