Disclaimer: I don't own anything about The Hunger Games that is all the wonderful Suzanne Collins…just love the story and I am writing purely for pleasure. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for the reviews! The reviews have been incredible! Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoy Finnick. I love his character and his ability to be funny no matter what and I wanted to put some of that into my story. I also wanted to make it funny how Peeta describes him at times. I hope you are still enjoying it! Here is the next chapter!

Chapter 35 – Gale's Point of View

I couldn't sleep. I was angry with Finnick for making fun of me. Why the hell would I want to snuggle with a guy who was married, but continue to have his paws all over Katniss? What was wrong with Peeta that he didn't care? He was too busy worrying about me touching her. He has no right to be angry with me. Katniss and I have been close much longer than they have been.

I rolled over on my side and pretended to sleep so they would leave me alone. I heard a small whimper in the middle of the night and I saw Katniss must have been having a nightmare. She only uttered that one sound. I was awake so I heard it. Everyone else was still gone to the world. I saw her sit up, but I pretended to still be asleep in my bed. It was so dark there is no way she could have seen my eyes studying her.

I watch as she carefully gets out of bed before pulling the covers up around Peeta and kissing his cheek. Gag me. I never thought she would be that way with him. She was supposed to be with me. She walked out of the room and after a moment I followed her. She was talking to Boggs. She seemed to trust him. Who knows why? Then the radio in his hand came to life and the voice was frantic.

"The medical hovercraft has been shot down four miles from the camp. I repeat. The hovercraft has been shot down four miles from the camp." I recognize the voice of Plutarch Heavensbee. While I am busy processing this, I see that Katniss has already figured it out. I listen to her conversation with Boggs from a short distance away hidden behind some boxes.

"Was Prim on that hovercraft? Is she part of the medical team?" Her voice is hysterical and she is already crying. She used to be able to hold tears in before the Capitol tortured her. I could handle her tears, but it was just different. She was different somehow, but no less appealing to me.

"I don't know, Katniss. I will find out." Boggs asks Plutarch over the radio if Prim was on the hovercraft. He pats Katniss's hand reassuringly and I immediately hate him. Why in God's name does everyone have their paws all over her? I should have made her mine before she went to the games. I should have told her how I felt then…how I feel now.

It takes Plutarch a long time to come back across the radio. "She was on the initial list. They are not 100% sure, but she is not answering any of the pages so they think so." I can see this is Katniss's undoing. Even after all she has gone through I know her thoughts. She is going after that hovercraft. She is going after Prim and I am going with her. She is screaming now and Boggs is trying to comfort her. Haymitch comes over to them and she pushes him away.

"You have to go to them. Snow will get her. You have to go now!"

Haymitch answers while Boggs is busy finding the exact coordinates. "Patience sweetheart, we will."

She pushes him back and takes off. I see her run in the direction she heard Boggs say. I need to hurry if I am going to catch her. She stops in the weapons room and I see her emerge a few minutes later with a backpack, her bow, and arrows. She is now dressed in full gear and boots. I run back to get dressed. I am going to follow her. I am going to help her save Prim and make her see how much I love her. I will make her see how much she actually loves me…she will finally admit it to herself.

The alarm starts to sound, but I don't stop I stride back to my bed. I see Peeta and his frantic expression as he stands with Finnick and Johanna. For once, I have the upper hand on Peeta. For once.

"Where is she?" He fires at me.

I am prepared to lie to him. "I don't know where she is. I woke up and saw that she was not here and I went to search for her."

He isn't buying it. I know he isn't. "Why didn't you wake me?"

For some reason his comment ticks me off. "Why? Are you the only one who can find her?" You won't find her this time. I will. I am going to save her this time.

Finnick breaks into our little conversation. "Let's just find her, all right? And find out what the blazes that alert was for. Calm yourselves gentlemen." Finnick is so damn cocky and arrogant. Now he is taking charge and Peeta just lets him. Weak….he is weak. He doesn't know how to hunt…he doesn't know how to fight…he doesn't know what it takes to survive. I do.

He may have survived so far so he is obviously resourceful, but he doesn't stand a chance at this stage in the games. Johanna starts giving orders but I tune her out and I take off quietly after grabbing my things. They are so caught up in their little plan to search for Katniss that they don't even notice I am leaving.
I make my way over to the weapons room and pull out another bow and sheaf of arrows. I pull out another backpack and prepare it for my journey. I also grab a couple knives. I am sure they will come in handy.

I make my way through the woods following Katniss's tracks. She has not tried to be discreet at all. She is terrified for her little sister. I promised I would protect Prim and I will. I will not let anything happen to either of them…never again. I trudge through the woods and I know she won't stop. She will not stop until she gets to where the hovercraft lays.

I am running and I feel sweat trickle down my back. I stop for a moment and pull out a bottle of water to drink it. I drink it in less than a minute and then I am running again. I smell something burning and I know I am close.

I see peacekeepers surrounding the hovercraft. I look around for Katniss and that is when I see her run out from the cover of the trees and into the small clearing. I look for why she blew her cover and that is when I see Prim in the clutches of the peacekeepers with a knife at her throat.

What do you think? How do you feel about my story so far? The next chapter will be from Katniss's POV. I promise to have more of Peeta's POV as well soon. Remember that different people may die and that some of the characters that died in Mockingjay may not die, but others definitely will. Review, review, review. This is my second chapter today because I got so many reviews!
