Katniss POV

Prim hugs me for the millionth time- not complaining after what I saw, but I was starting to think the little girl who never left my side when she got scared was gone. It's nice to know she's still there just mostly under control and replaced by a mask of calmness. She tugs my hand.

"Katniss you're just in time for lunch! Let's go!" She says pulling me out of the room. I manage to shout a quick goodbye and thanks to Beetee and Haymitch before I'm whisked away by Prim. On the way to the cafeteria I keep replaying the moments leading up to my little duck's death. All those children. Bet Coin was overjoyed. Who cares that they're innocent children who did absolutely nothing wrong their innocent Capitol children! They did not deserve to die. None of those children will ever grow up or fall in love, or get married, get a job, they'll never grow old and gray with someone. You could say some of the kid's in twelve won't either but that doesn't make it right. No one should die young. And the sad part is it was Gale's bomb! His target was the children. It's partly his fault Prim and all those capitol children die and there's only one child I can save and that's Prim. I find myself livid at Gale. Why should he have the right to say who lives and who dies based on where they live or were born. It's just not right. I'll have to come up with a way to make sure that bomb never reaches the Capitol. But on the bright side Peeta seemed a lot better than the hijacked person who tried to kill me less than a week ago, who I kissed twice on that mission. Then it hits me like a ton of bricks. I have no way of knowing if Peeta survived the mission. He could be dead in that timeline. Gone from the world, just like Prim their blue eyes never to open again. But Prim won't die this time she'll survive and deep down I know Peeta survived in that timeline. I should ask Beetee if there's a way to find out what happens to the us in the future timeline that won't exist. I decide that I'll ask Beetee but it wont matter if he lives or dies because he's not going to die in this timeline.

By now we've reached the cafeteria, me being lost in my thoughts not noticing we had reached the cafeteria until little Posy runs up and wraps her arms around my legs.

"Katniss! I haven't seen you in a million trillion years! The last time I saw you was breakfast, and that was hours ago!" She squeals. I laugh and pick her up.

"So little miss rosy Posy what did you do in the hours since I saw you last?" I ask. She looks thoughtful for second before replying.

"Well, after we ate breakfast Rory went on and on about how much he loves Prim and wants to marry her, then Gale talked to President Coin and when he came back he just talked about how he wishes that Peeta hadn't been rescued, or that Snow had killed him or that he had died in the seventy-fourth Hunger Games which I thought was really mean, then-" she rambles but I'm stuck on what Posy said about Gale.

"Wait hold up Posy, Gale said that he wanted Peeta to die? Why?" I ask pleasantly. She looks up at me with her big grey eyes and says

"He said that it was so that he could be with you forever and ever but Peeta ruined his plans. He stopped talking when he realized that I was listening. Now come on we have to eat!" She says as I let her down, and she grabs my hand along with Prim's and pulls us to the table where the Hawthorne's along with Delly, Finnick, Annie, and Johanna are sitting. She has us sit down on the seats next to her so she is in between me and Prim. Hazelle looks up and seeing me and Prim sitting on either side of Posy without food chides gently

"Posy honey, let Katniss and Prim get their food first." Posy nods and Prim and I get up to get our lunch.

As it turns out "lunch" is grey slop being passed of as turnips and bread. What is it with District 13 and grey. Seriously! Grey uniforms grey walls grey food, what are colors to wasteful. Not a splash of blue or yellow or green. Not even orange or red or purple!

When Prim and I get back to the table Gale tries to start conversations with me-all of which I turn down with one word answers. I'm absolutely livid. For one, he created a bomb that killed not just Prim but hundreds of Capitol children. I know how I'm going to save Prim, but what about all the Capitol children? I'm also livid because of what he said about Peeta. One thing is for certain though. Gale is not the same fourteen year old boy that I met almost six years ago. He's changed- and not for the better.

"Catnip!" He exclaims for the fifth time now annoyed.

"What!" I snap exasperated. I'm trying to find a way to save all of those children.

"I was asking how your reunion with Peeta went." He says smugly. I go rigid stiff as a board. Gale smirks and I know he knows exactly how it went. Finnick and Johanna stop what they're doing and give Gale twin glares. Prim looks at me with a knowing look asking me for permission. At my nod she turns to Gale.

"You know full well how it went Gale." She practically hisses.

Going on as if nothing is wrong Gale continues.

"Well have they found a way to cure him yet?" He asks smirking.

Prim smiles at me and I try to control my anger at Gale, as well as trying to contain my laughter at what I imagine Gale's reaction will be.

"Yes actually they have I would tell you but it's highly classified and I know how you feel about the boy I'm in love with," I say looking at Posy long enough for him to get the message. "Next time you talk about how you wish the boy your best friend is in love with was dead make sure your little sister isn't listening! It'll save you a friendship." I spit glaring at him.

Everyone at the table is in shock. Hazelle takes Rory, Vick and Posy by the hand shoots Gale a disapproving look, and walks briskly out of the cafeteria with Posy, Vick, and Rory in tow. The table now consists of Delly, Finnick, Annie, Johanna, Prim, and I. Prim stares at him her eyes wide with disbelief and betrayal written all over her face, eyes brimming with tears. She stand up and starts talking at a whisper her voice increasing in volume until it's risen to a shout.

"That boy has done so much for you Gale. He stepped back when Katniss thought she might love you, he defended you at the whipping post. He was even willing to give you his whole world, his everything if that's what she wanted and would make her happy-which by the way she doesn't and wouldn't. And if you think he should die, well you know what? Fuck you! I hate you!" With that Prim storms out of the cafeteria to our compartment where I know she will burst into tears as soon as she get's to the room, which rips my heart in two then takes a hammer and crushes it into a million pieces. And one thing everyone in District Twelve knew was if you make my sister cry there's hell to pay from me and Peeta.

As soon as she leaves Finnick, Johanna, and Delly start screaming at him. When they leave with Annie and the promise to visit Gale shoots me a hopeful glance, but I just shake my head and say

"What you did was unforgivable. It would have been one thing if you were just saying you didn't like him, but to wish death upon him, and mock me with him being hijacked when you know I love and need him? That's another thing entirely and something I can never forgive you for. Goodbye Gale." And with that final goodbye I walk out of the stunned cafeteria.


Sorry for the wait. I hope you liked it. I'm sorry to any Gale lovers for this chapter but remember she's going back in time. I do want to say thank you to mjenney21 for all her support. She has a really good Everlark story that you should check out called Star-Crossed Lovers of District Twelve. :)
