So, now you have two different ways to stalk me :)

Anyway, on with the story

2 weeks later

I slowly stumble across the pale green grass, watching my feet brush against blood with every footstep. He saved me. And i had just left him there: to rot away with every other corpse. A wave of shame flows through my body like wildfire.

The District 4 tribute grinned at me, displaying her set of sharp, bloodstained teeth. Her coal coloured eyes seemed to shimmer; she was beautiful. Her blonde hair lied in waves along her shoulders and her long fingernails were caked with the fresh blood of a tribute. Killer. This was the murderer.

She slashed her hand out toward me, her perfect talons scraping away at the skin on my cheek. A slow trickle of blood worked its way down my face, finally dripping onto my shirt, and settling there. The smell of my blood seemed to trigger the monster within her, as she pounced ontop of me, clawing at my neck. I scream out.

Gale gripped onto the back of the Career's shirt and pryed her off of me, Gale settles the girl's feet onto the ground and tenses his hands, pulling each of them into fists. When the girl successfully punches Gale's gaw, he spits blood and hits her right back in her chest. She cringes and holds her chest protectively. I struggle to get to my feet and i sneek up behind the girl; just as she is about to throw another punch, I grab a chunk of her hair and pull her backwards, kicking and screaming.

She spins and faces me, her face now transformed from beauty to devil. She bares her teeth and screeches as she launches towards me. I think: I am ready. I am ready to die. I shut my eyes and wait for impact.

I wipe away a stray tear that runs down my face, and i bend down to pick some berries from a plant in the forest. I then sit down with my back against the bark and eat.

I hear a scream as Gale kicks the girl in the side, and my eyes fly open. The feral look in the Career's eyes scares me, and makes me back away from her. Only then do I realise how big of a mistake I just made.

The Career attacks Gale.

Gale goes down.

The Career scrambles ontop of Gale and leans right up close to his face. He is scared. He is so very scared.

The Career plants a kiss ontop Gale's lips and pulls back.

Gale screeches at me, "Run Katniss! Run! You must get out alive!"

"I'm not leaving you Gale!"

"Go! Please just-" and the Career sinks her teeth into his shoulder, and rips a chunk of his flesh clean off.

I run.

He is gone. Gale is dead because of me. The blood drained out of him faster then he could ever drain a bottle of water on a boiling hot day. The man I love is dead. All because I just stood there and stared.

Hey, so i hope you like this chapter. I didn't want to leave it on a cliffy as i won't be able to update for ages!
