"I'm going on an adventure!" (Bilbo Baggins v.)
"What? Why?" Katniss asked, alarmed.
Gale sighed.
"President Snow banned those years ago, but my parents taught us in secret. We learned to pray, to
fast, and to go without. They taught us that serving God is better than serving Snow."
"Who is God?" Katniss asked.
"He created everything. He created us, the sky, the woods-"
"He created Snow then. Where is He?"
"He's everywhere Katniss."
"Do you really believe that?" Katniss asked, incredulously.
Gale avoided her eyes. How could she understand hiding a part of who he was in plain sight? He also
knew that she held a bomb in her hands. It was only a matter of time before she was exposed. He had
to hide to the cross around his neck so much, he was wondering if he should wear it anymore.
"Katniss hide that or give it back."
"No."
"Why not? Why are you being so stubborn?"
Katniss shrugged.
"We're in this together. If you die, I die."
