A/N: This is from Gale's POV. It is the same thing as the last chapter, only from Gale's perspective.

Gale POV

Posy laughs at something in the other room, Rory's probably telling jokes again. I slightly smile and walk into the kitchen with my Mother. She's cooking something on the stove.

A loud boom comes from outside, and I look up to see the Mayor's daughter falling backwards towards our house. I walk outside quickly, not knowing what's happening.

The next boom is worse. I look as the explosion sets fire to the Justice Building and the Mayor's house. I look at Madge, knowing she sees it too. She runs off towards her house, sprinting towards the fire. I run back inside.

"Mom. We have to leave. Now" I say to her, and run to grab everyone. I pick up Posy, and lead Rory and Vick into the the other room. My Mother wants to know whats happening, and I whisper to her, "District 12 is being bombed. We have to leave". She nods slowly, and Posy starts to cry after something else explodes.

"Whats happening?" She sniffs, and I say "We're leaving for a while, Posy. But we're going to be fine", I tell her, and she looks at me. "Where are we going?"

"Everyone, through the fence!" I yell, and Rory doesn't move. "Where are you going?" "To help out the Everdeens! Now go!" "Can I come?" He grins, and Me and My Mom say at the same time "No!".

He wants to help. He thinks he's old enough... "You have to protect the rest of them" I nod towards my Family, and he stands protectively in front of them. I smile, and head out the door.

I walk with them through the square, to get to the fence. As we're walking, I see something strange. The Mayor's daughter -Madge, is sitting in the middle of the square, sobbing. He Father's body parts are strung not far from her. "Poor girl" My Mom whispers, and I glance at Madge again, and she looks like a mess. Her house collapses behind her. I almost feel bad for her, and then remember shes the Mayor's Daughter. She's never known how the rest of us feel, starving and poor. I glance at her again.

I continue to walk, pulling my Mother along. I make sure they get to the fence, and then stop and run back to the square. "Everyone! To the fence!" I yell, trying to get everyone to safety. A few people start running and I grab a few others. "Come on!" I hollar at them, at they run towards the fence.

"Go underneath it!" I shout, and start walking backwards towards the Everdeen's house. I knock into someone, and turn around. Its Madge. She falls, and I'm shocked at what she looks like.

Her dress is caked with ashes, its torn in some places, and I'm not sure what color it was supposed to be. Her ponytail is falling out, and there is cuts and ashes all over her face. Really, the only reason I knew who she was is her light blonde curly hair and the grim determination in her face. She has cuts and burns all over her, and there are lines in the ashes on her face...from tears? Her eyes are rimmed with red from crying..and she looks sad and a little scared.

She looks like a mess. "What are you doing? Shouldn't you be out of here already?" I look at her, and she's not fazed by my words. I used to -ok, I still do - tease her, about her being stuck up and snobby, and about pretty much anything else. I thought her family would already be safe in the Capitol or something. She opens her mouth, as if she's going to say something, and starts to cough. I'm surprised she hasn't coughed up a lung. She starts to vomit. I just look at her. She has obviously been going and helping other people..or just her parents.

"I..I'm here to help" She says hoarsly. I look at her, a bit surprised, but I cover it up.

She starts to run towards the Everdeen's house, and I remember she was Katniss's friend. I run after her.

I help Katniss's Mother, and Madge grabs Prim. We run out the door, and get to the square. Madge looks even worse than before. I turn to Ms. Everdeen and mouth "Someone help her" and she nods and mouthes "Poor girl". Just like my Mother said. I'm starting to think maybe she's not all stuck up and snobby...

My thoughts are interupted by a high-pitched shriek and Madge turns around. She kind of pushes Prim at me, and I grab her arm. She winces, and I look at the huge cut on her forearm. She looks back, and starts to sprint towards the house. I yell her name, and Prim does the same. She doesn't turn around.

I take the Everdeen's and walk to the fence. I get them through the fence, and Madge hoarsly calls my name, and I turn around and run towards her. She's holding a small dark haired little girl, and is holding the hand of a boy. "What?" I look at her, and my voice sounds much less scratchy than hers.

"Take them. I'll be back" She puts the girl in my arms and the boy walks over to me. I sigh. "Madge, you're going to kill yourself.." I look at her. She's seriously going back to save people? And I thought she was snobby. She shrugs. "Its worth it if someone gets saved" And she runs off. Just like that. "Madge!" I yell after her, and she doesn't turn around. I sigh, and lead the kids through the fence.

I put them with the Everdeens, and Prim jumps up instantly, and runs over to them, playing the nurse roll again. Madge brings a few more people through, and then a man comes back without her. I look at him, a bit worried. "Where's Madge?" I ask him, and he says "Madge?" "The Mayor's Daughter? The blonde girl who brought you here?" "Oh. She's in the square..." He points and I see Madge standing, retching and sobbing.

I sigh. I don't particullarly like her, but she's a friend of Katniss...so..I run back to the square. I grab her wrist, and she turns to me, tears in her eyes.

"Come on!" I yell, a bit harshly, and she can't seem to focuse on me. Her eyes start to glaze over, and I put my hands under her legs, and she collapses. I carry her to the fence, fire still burning homes in District 12.

When I get under the fence, Prim looks worriedly at me and Madge. "Is she ok?" Prim looks up from tending to the little girl Madge saved. I nod slowly, and set her down. I sit down near her, and Katniss's Mother starts cleaning her up.

I can soon see the Mayor's daughter again, and something hits me.

She's beautiful.

A/N: Gale thinks she's beautiful! *insert fangirl squeal here* The story is moving along! Ok, so yeah, I am pretending Madge didn't die in the bombing, obviously, so...yeah. :)
