All right thanks you guys SO much for all the reviews!:D A few of you people said you wanted Clato. So, in the last chapter I said that I didn't want to do romance with them! BUT, I am willing and going to write more brotherly sisterly stuff between them. I know that's not what you wanted, but there might be some more hints of closer romance with them later.

Of course I have to reply to my many(ish) reviewers:

HelloKitty2000-me too, thank you for reviewing FizzyCash man-I' so glad someone agrees with me, you and I must think alike because Kato is one of my most favorite pairings goldie031-Yes, I know I need more interaction, but I'm not sure how to get them all together. I mean who should meet up with who, do they all separately meet up with Katniss and rue and those people, or on the way with someone else. If you give me some ideas, that would really help since I'm stumped, but still thanks for pointing that out, no-one else has PrettyCuteLove (Guest)-I'm a little confused about your review, but still thanks for taking the time to review most people just pass by without reviewing Slappinthabass-first, interesting name and I'm glad you like it Clato 27-Thanks. You said you wanted Clato, but the thing is, I don't know how to write Clato type of stories, I have my one story that's called 'How It Started' but that one isn't very romancy. If you gave me some ideas, or pointers or scenes (basically anything) I might be more willing to write Clato

Alright so far those are all the reviews for chapter 8 and now for chapter 9... (oh, p.s. I expect lots of reviews considering the amount from the last chapter)

-Still the same day, roughly 7:15 a.m. (back in time about an hour or two)-

Katniss POV

Me and Gale were the first ones to get up, since we wake up at around 5 a.m. every morning. We didn't really talk that much as we sat around the fire pit, that currently was put out due to all the rainfall. The clothes I was wearing were all wet-I sometimes thrash around in my sleep and I rolled out of the tent- and my rug-sack was a bit damp in some places, but all the belongings were dry and protected.

"I think we should stay here for one more day, who knows how long it will be before we find another water source and such a...protected area to set up a camp" Gale says, as Charlie, Thresh and Rue sit down near the fire pit

"Shouldn't we start a fire?" Rue asks. I just noticed how petite Rue is. She's rather small for her age, just like Primrose. My sister takes her height from my mother, whereas I am in between my mom and father. Mother's 5ft 4" and Prim is just about to break the 5 foot mark. Father reached to about 6ft 1" or so, when he had died, I barely reached up to his chest. Dad was very tall, just like Gale, and built too. If you think about it, most Seam men are, they have to be strong fearless to provide for they're families. I think Gale would have been a great husband, one that most women would want. He's determined, loyal and would risk anything for his family, not to mention his good looks. Sometimes I feel sorry for Gale, he could had a great-ish life back at 12, well besides the Hunger Games of course.

I am taller than my mom, although not many people are. In twelve the men were the strong tall ones(like I had already explained), but the women were the small, weak, worthless, cowardly people who stayed at home and took care of the children. Many of the men in 12 disrespect the females-apparently we're only good for cooking and child bearing-and there is a lot of spousal abuse. Mainly in the Seam though, you rarely hear about stories like that coming from the rich part of town.

But not all men were like that, I know my father wasn't. He loved my mother and she loved him. They were the type of couple who would never have an argument and thought alike. They were relationship others were jealous of. I can also tell Gale would never abuse his wife or children. He was the most gently and caring person I had ever met, well besides Prim. I will admit, Gale does have a few anger problems and will sometimes will go on a rampage about how the world is a stupid, heartless place and how someone should assassinate President Snow or worthless crap like that. But everyone needs to let off a little steam once in a while. Gale just lets it off... more frequently.

But it's easy to calm him down. I sometimes just rub my thumb across his knuckles and whisper his name quietly. If that doesn't works, I force him to look at me and tell him that it's okay to be angry of frustrated, but yelling and going on about it, won't do anything. Then he'd usually pull me in towards his chest and he'd apologize and we'd sit in peaceful silence for a while.

I'm guessing that it's around 9:30 or so and all the adults, Gale, Thresh, Adriana and me are all sitting around the fire and talking, while all the kids are jumping on the rocks in the stream and giggling. They're all totally oblivious to the situation, all the young ones think that we're just going away for a bit and going home after we're done. The older ones like Rue, Rory and Leo understand a bit more, they get how how what we're doing is dangerous and there's many consequences, but they don't get how big this thing really is. And honestly I'm glad, they don't need to have the responsibility and have all this pressure on them.

Just as I'm thinking that, I hear shouting coming from somewhere near in the woods, along with the whirring of a helicopter. Me and Gale look at each other and immediately jump into action, I grab my bow and arrows and we usher the kids away from the stream. Thresh picks up his sharp rock and picks up Maggie and sits her on his shoulders. The mothers are all freaking out and hyperventilating, and the kids are all running around screaming like they're chickens with their heads cut off.

"Rory, shut up" Gale says and grabs Rory by his hair and throws him to the side "Grab the bags and Vick stop screaming, god kid"

I would have chuckled at Gale and his brotherly love, but quite frankly this was not the time. Most of the important stuff was packed just as we were leaving, but due to all the screaming the peacekeepers have found us rather quickly. They all come charging in from one side with guns raised and shouting gibberish. There's probably two dozen I'm guessing, but I don't have time to count. Everyone except for Thresh, Gale and Rue and myself have fled and running for their life. None of the Peacekeepers went after them, since our families left before the peacekeepers got here.

I yell at Rue to run, but before she can even turn a Peacekeeper shoots her in the leg. She drops to the ground just as an arrow land in the peacekeepers neck. He drops his gun and falls forward choking on his own blood. Then everything turns to a blur. Thresh charges at one and Gale shoots as many as they can before they contact any back-up. One lets a bullet blow towards me, but I anticipated it and ducked and shot him in the shoulder. Then I shoulder rolled forward and shot two more in the heart and then it was all over, just like that. None got away.

I feel exhausted now, and strangely I don't feel any different even though I just killed 4 people. It doesn't feel any different then when I shoot a rabbit or squirrel, in fact I even feel a bit proud. I know that's wrong, but they were risking our lives and deserved to die, they even injured Rue. At that thought I get woken u from my little day dream and let a piercing scream

"Rue!"

Finnick POV

I tumble to the ground and land on something bony, and hear a faint crack.

"Finnick you idiot" I realize soon that I had actually landed on Henna "Why are you so fat, get off of me! Ow, my ankle hurts.."

I stand up and pick up my bag off the ground and see my Dad helping mom up.

"Is everyone okay?" Dad asks

"Yeah, just a little bruised from falling on a turd" I say, even though I know this is not the time for teasing

"No, I think I twisted my ankle" It's hard to see since it's the middle of the night, but the lights from the helicopters and the dim one from the full moon helps a tad.

"Oh, god! My dear daughter" Mom exclaims rushing to her aid. Guess who's the favorite.

"Leif, you have to carry our daughter!" Mom screeches

"Alright Laurel, just calm down"Dad throws Henna over his shoulder "Lets go"

We've been on the move for well over 5 hours and Mom's been getting slower and slower. I think it's sort of ironic, my mom can't continue to carry her 110 lb, but my dad can carry his 230 lb and Henna's 150 lb(okay maybe I'm exaggerating.) I have to admit that my I am beginning to get tired, but I am too much of a man to admit it. And even if we did stop for a break, I wouldn't be able to get one wink of sleep, I'd be too afraid that someone would find us.

Dad stumbles on a root and falls forward.

"Aagh"Henna yells as dad takes her down with her "God, why do the men in this family always fall?" She scoffs

"Hey dad, if Henna's weighing you down we could always leave her here for the wolves"I joke, but a tad serious

"Wait, there's wolves here?" Henna's voice quivers as she asks, her eyes big

"Oh, yes. And bears and panthers, not to mention all those mutations they left in the forest after the war" I say using my jazz hands for emphasis

"I want to go home" She whines

"Well, I don't think we can go home sweetie" Dad says soothingly

"Why not?" She asks

"Because if we go back we could be killed" He says

"Wait, we're never going back?"

"Never"

Okay so that's the end of that chapter. I know the part with Finnick wasn't very long, but I had no clue for what to do. Maybe in the next chapter I'll start off with them and maybe switch to Lexi or vice versa. Please review. Aren't you all wondering what's going to happen to Rue? Do you want her to die or not? I already know what I'll do with her, but still I'd like to hear your opinions. goldie031 pointed out in her review that people need to get together like as in Cato and Lexi meeting up or something like that.

And again if you have any other characters from THg, Harry Potter or Percy Jackson and the Olypians that you want to add, then please tell me. I will most likely put them in. So far Peeta is one of the most asked people.

PLEASE REVIEW, I SHALL LOVE ALL OF YOU
