A/N Hey guys sorry bout the couple day wait, my laptop was taking away (thanks girlonfire99 lol no it wasn't her fault) but I actually had the chapter completely written. Well anyway, here's chapter 10.

Gale's POV

Suddenly out of nowhere, flames start to shoot up from the ground, and fireballs are thrown directly above my head scorching the tip of my hair.

"What the hell," I scream at the messed up game makers. They couldn't have given me at least a couple of hours, considering I just lost a girl who was like my little sister, before screwing with me again. The fireballs are becoming closer and closer until one lands strait in front of my face singeing my cheek. Quickly I run to the other direction, but as I do so, I am trapped by a wall of flames. Why would the game makers do this, I think becoming very irritated by the games twisted ways. I guess they thought why not knock him out while he's still weak. I look up and am surprised to see that the fireballs are getting smaller, and the wall of flames is beginning to descend. What the….. I start to think, but my thoughts are interrupted by soft footsteps coming towards me. God I hate setups, I think before walking over to see who is coming over to kill me.

"Who's there," I practically yell making sure this isn't one bit of fear in my voice. When no one responds, I start to get annoyed. "Seriously show yourself, or else." I say trying to act tough, but ending up sounding like a 5 year old threatening to tattle on a sibling for ripping a piece of paper they were coloring on.

A/N happens to me all the time, anyway…..

I hear the footsteps coming from the bushes, I walk over and grab the branches and start to pull them apart, so I can find out who is hiding inside. But the person inside the bush is prepared. The second I make a little hole between leaves I see the girl from 2 pop up with a wicked grin spread upon her face. Oh no, I think. I want to run, but I know that she most likely would easily outrun me so I grab the knife that she stabbed Prim with and shove it through her chest before she has a chance to make a move herself. "That was for Prim," I whisper in her ear before I hear the cannon sound. I grab her pack and her belt of knives. And walk away not wanting anything to do with her. After walking for at least 15 minutes, I hear a soft whisper in my ear.

"You know she wasn't going to kill you, right." I turn around and see the blonde boy from before.

" Yeah, sure she wasn't," I reply breaking out into a run.

"Relax," the boy says, making me stop and turn to look at him again, 'I'm Cato,"

"Gale," I say.

"But honestly she wasn't going to kill you, she was going to invite you into our alliance, you see we're part of the career pack and even though you're not a career you're pretty tough. The offer is still standing you know."

"I don't know," I say not 100 percent sure that he isn't about to throw a knife at me.

"Come on," Cato replies "You have a better chance of actually surviving with us, you'll die alone. So what do you say, do you want to join the careers, or I guess career." He has a point I think to myself.

"Fine," I respond reluctantly.

"Great," he says excitedly. Something about this doesn't feel right, but I guess it's too late to say anything now... It takes me a minute to really think about what had just happened. Shit i think, I had just became a career!.

Katniss's POV

I can't believe that Gale of all people just became a career. It's really hard to watch your best friend kill a girl for revenge, but worse to see your friend join the careers. They will kill him in his sleep or something like that. I know those people, well kind of know, but they're not 'the all exclusive whoever wants to be a career can' kind of people. I'm really scared that Gale will end up getting hurt by them. I try to look at the situation in Gales POV, I guess it makes sense because the longer they stick together the better chance he has of staying alive, well at least until Cato kills him. I try my hardest to get that thought out of my head.

"Gale won't die, Gale won't die," I whisper to myself. Peeta hears me, and wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"No he won't, he's a fighter." I smile, but it immediately fades, because I hear the head game maker whispering to another game maker,

"Make sure he doesn't come out of the arena alive." He looks over at me to find that I had heard him, when he sees the anger plastered all over my face he just smirks. All I want is to strangle him, but these freaking straps are preventing me from doing so. The game maker that the head game maker had acknowledged moments ago looks up at us and says,

"What do you think is more painful tracker jackers, or a large amount of poisonous snakes?" The head game maker replies tracker jackers, so the game maker virtually makes a tracker jacker hive appear, and hovers right above Gale and Cato (who at the moment are sleeping) and in one fluid motion drops it right in front of the two boys. Making a swarm of angry tracker jackers attack my best friend, and his only chance of survival.
