A/N: Sorry for the lack of updating!
Chapter 19
"Please, no!" Rory exclaims.
"What do you care?" the boy from 2 asks.
"She's from my District," Rory mumbles.
"So?" the girl from 1 asks. Madge's eyes are filled with fear.
"Please, don't kill me," Madge says.
"I'll do what I want!" the boy from 2 yells and stabs Madge. He twists the knife in her gut. Madge collapses. The Careers laugh and run away. All but Rory.
"I'll catch up!" he yells after them. He sits next to Madge, and takes her in his arms. "You'll be okay. I'll heal you."
"No, Rory. I'll be with Gale. I'll see him. We can be together forever," Madge smiles. "I remember when Gale and I first got together. He was delivering strawberries. Katniss was in the Games. It was just him. He knocked on my door and I smiled. I had always liked him, but he was with Katniss. After seeing Peeta and Katniss in the Games, I realized that I had a chance with Gale. As he turned out the door, he said, 'I really don't hate you. I think that I really like you. Maybe we can be more than acquaintances. Maybe, more than friends.' I was so happy. The following few days, he asked me to be with him. I loved him. He loved me. Then, he went to the Games. Then, he died. With him, my soul died. I wept with his family. I loved him. Now, I will be with him again…Gale…" She smiles and dies.
Rory collapses, crying. I sob into Peeta's shirt, clenching the soft fabric.
"She can't be gone," I repeat.
"She's happy now. Kat, she's happy," Peeta comforts. I know that in my heart, but I can't convince myself.
