The boy falls to the ground. I hear the canon shot. Then I spot Rue sitting up in a tree. She shot the blow dart. She jumps down from the tree and says " Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" I reply, the truth is that I had some cut's and bruises and my nose is bloody from when I fell down face first. But nothing too serious.
"Did you hear that" Gale says to Thresh "Another canon"
"I sure hope it's not Rue or Katniss" Thresh says
"We'll find out soon enough" Gale says as he looks up at the sky. Almost on cue the fighting starts. You see Rue and Katniss standing in front of the boys, Rue fleeing from the scene.
"What is Katniss doing? She can't take on 4 boys" Gale thinks out loud. The first bow charges at katniss, she rolls over him and slits his throat. Now it's the second boys turn, she throws an axe and misses. Come on Katniss Gale thinks. She ducks, stands up, gets punched falls to the ground. Her head is ready to be smashed, when she loads an arrow and shoots. She grabs for the bat and hit's the boy on the side, he falls to the ground but is not dead. She stabs him with a knife, right before she gets choked. Gale and Thresh watch as the 2 of them continue to wrestle, until Katniss does her little trick and jumps up. She grabs an and loads it. This is it, Gale thinks. But before Katniss can release the arrow at the boy, he is shot with a blow dart.
"Rue" Thresh says under his breath.
"We have to keep moving if we want to find them " Gale says to his partner
Rue and I continue to walk through the forest. Me in front, Rue behind. Everything is silent until I hear a yelp from behind her. I spins around expecting to see Rue, but instead she just sees bushes and trees.
"Rue" I call out, there's no reply. I slowly walk around in a tight circle with my bow loaded. Everything is dead silent, until a bird screeches from behind me. I quickly pivot and point my arrow at the bird.
"Hey Catnip" A voice says from behind me. I turn around, my arrow pointed straight at Gale's face.
"Would you mind putting that away" Gale says to me
"Sorry" I mutter as I lower the bow "Where's Thresh?"
"I'm right here" Thresh says from behind me. I turn around and see Rue standing in front of him.
"That's wasn't funny" I say "I thought something happened to Rue. Anyways why are you guys here? You want to kill us?"
"Of course not! After seeing what you did to those boys we're more afraid of you then you are of us" Gale says
"You haven't answered my question, what are guys doing here? I ask
"We've been looking for you since day 1" Thresh says
"So you want to be allies?" Rue says
"Sure" Gale says. We continue walking in pairs. We don't talk much, just walk.
"Why are you stopping?" I ask Gale. He doesn't answer he just grabs my hand and looks at me with his beautiful grey eyes "Gale"
"I just wanna..." He doesn't finish, but instead he kisses me. I am caught off gaurd but eventually I kiss back. It feels so nice considering the past few days.
"When you two are done kissing get we start walking again?" Thresh asks smiling.
Gale pulls away and I open my eyes and feel my cheeks blushing. I see Rue and Thresh smiling, Rue is holding back giggles. "Let's go" I say as I pick up my bow.
We trudge along the forest floor until it starts to get dark. We find a den like the one that me and Rue shared. But this one is a little bigger. We unpack our things and make ourselves at home. We roll out the two sleeping bags (Gale and Thresh had one.)
Rue starts a small fire with some leaves and sticks. We eat the remainder of dried fruit and 3 squirrels we caught. It starts to get late so I take off my long sleeved shirt and my boots and crawl into one of the sleeping bags. Rue already went to bed and Gale follows right behind me. He takes off his shirt and boots and crawls in the sleeping bag with me. He pulls me close to him and wraps his arms around me. I feel his steady breathing against my neck, after a while I doze off. When I wake I find that Thresh is already up. I get up trying to be careful not to wake up Gale. I do not succeed.
"Katniss" Gale yawns as he sit up. Me and Gale hunt for 2 days. We catch alot and eat it quickly with our companions, when it starts to get really hot. Gale runs out and screams "FIRE!" Thresh and Rue just sit there staring ahead while I grab a bag stuff some things and run out. By this time Rue and Thresh start to move but they try to pack everything up. We continue running until I hear 2 canon shots, Rue and Thresh have been engulfed by the flames.
