Katniss's P.O.V.
Pain. Scorching pain fills me up, as I breathe and as I move. The wind pressed against my cheeks as I run through the town with so many questions filling me. Why is the main one. Why is he working for the enemy. Why is he changed. Why is he so different. I know that he's not the best friend I had when I was a child. That wasn't the same person who came and said,"Hey Catnip". I ran so far I ended up in the exact spot the meadow used to be in. Now it's a cemetery from all the victims who died in the rebellion I started. I walked through the cemetery farther and farther until I found the rock Gale and I used to share and talk on. I looked at the time and saw that it was 7:50 p.m. Peeta has to be worried sick. So I ran home and opened the door to find Peeta pacing the floor."Where were you?" Peeta asked with more fear than I thought he would have. I told him everything. I told him about Gale and how I heard his conversation with him boss or whoever that was. Peeta grew more mad throughout our entire conversation about Gale. I could tell that by the end of the conversation he had had it with Gale Hawthrone. He wanted to rip his head to bits."If we're endanger by this savage of a man, I will kill him, and you're not going to stop me. I love you more than anything and the kids too," Peeta said with much seriousness in his voice. "I love you too Peeta, and if we are endanger I would kill him too. I just have this gut feeling that they did something to him, and that he's not the same Gale Hawthrone that I knew 20 years ago," I said with much awareness and fear in my voice, but Peeta was not buying it. He just shook his head, and then there was a ring at the door bell. And there he was, the red faced, gray eyed man with his black hair that swayed in moonlight. He just wasn't the same Gale I knew. "Hey there neighbors, I just dropped by to ask you guys over for dinner tomorrow. Before Peeta could say anything, I accepted. Gale looked happy and then walked away, Peeta on the other hand was not. "Why did you say yes, you now he wants to hurt us, and if we go over there then we are putting ourselves, and our kids in jeopardy,"Peeta said with as much fear possible ever to be in a voice. "Peeta, we just have to find out more about him. I'm not just going to let them ruin him, Peeta. Something's going on and I know it. This is not the same Gale Hawthrone that used to be my friend," I said with as much seriousness as possible. Finally Peeta understood, kissed me, and then said,"Only because it would make you happy." See, that's the thing about Peeta. He knows that I'm right, and that I what I think has a purpose. That's one of the reasons I love him. I think I really needed someone like that. Then I thought of Prim. She always thought that about me too.
The next night came, and we had Greasy Sae babysit our kids. They think of her as another grandma.
When we got to Gale's house, all the lights were on and he was at the front door waiting for us. "Thank you so much for coming," Gale said with much suspicion in his voice. Peeta and I walked in and sat down with Gale nowhere to be seen. "I told you something is up. Come on, let's go,"Peeta said with a little anger in his voice. Before he could get up I pulled his hand down.
A few minutes later, the lights went out and you probably could hear my heart pounding. Gale walked in and you could only see him in the moonlight, with fangs and long claws, with green skin. Like a monster. A beast. A mutt.
