Okay guys, here it is, after 12 attempts this is what I came up with! Please read! And please review! It's great appreciated! Thanks! Enjoy, oh-and thanks for following, those who did! J
He told me to go to sleep, he said I wouldn't dream about her…he said it was all okay, he lied! I imagined her running into my arms, holding her and singing to her. Kissing her lips, her neck, her hands. Feeling her breathe in and breathe out, watching her eyes flutter as she dreams. Whispering "I love you." over and over, until she said it back. Katniss took over my mind as soon as I closed my eyes.
There she was screaming as they tortured the hell out of her! There she was crying, shouting out to me. And reaching her arms out hoping to find me. But I never came, I was not there to protect her from evil hands. I opened my tear soaked eyes, and screamed out into the darkness. Suddenly, Gale sat up on the bed, he was laying next to me. "Are you in pain?" he asked seriously. I nodded, "My heart is…" I muttered, and his eyes went sad. He nodded now. "What are you doing sleeping next to me?" I then asked, freaked out if anything. He scrunched up, "Um…I thought I'd just sit down." he mumbled, guilty very guilty.
He was supposed to be protecting me, keeping watch! Look at him, after five days he'd be used to it. I scoffed, "you sleep, I'll keep watch." he shook he head. "I insist, besides, every time I close my eyes I see-her." I squeezed out of my mouth, and then the tears rushed in. I choked on a cough I tried to hold back. He nodded and fell back to sleep. He wasn't actually sleeping, he just wanted to give me alone time. I knew he cared, and that's what I counted.
I sighed, it had been five days since I found out Katniss was captured, and it had been seven days since she was taken. We were in district 9, slowly making out way to the capitol. We wanted to go undercover and save Katniss the secret, planning, most dangerous, and risky way. Some contact of Effie's found her location, and for a load of cash he'd meet us and show us. Did we trust him? No! but the real question was, is it a trick to lour me in? I didn't know, and I didn't care. All I cared about was finding and saving my wife and child!
And to think of how long that could take, made my heart hurt. Just like everything else did…
