The word shock is an understatement.

First of all, I thought it was just a Capitol soldier coming to finish me off. I certainly was not expecting Gale and my reunion to end up like this.

The business-y man I met is called Preston. After he called a rescue team, he came in the cupboard with me and Delly. He did not mention Gale at all. He could have given me a warning. He probably knows about our relationship.

I realize that I have been staring at him for a while now. He probably thinks I'm nuts. I probably am nuts. I don't think Gale saw Preston yet, he's sleeping in the corner next to the door so he must have been out of eyesight.

"Hey Catnip" he mutters

I am still in shock. I don't want him here. I want to die.

There's so much I want to tell and ask him but I only manage by saying his name.

"Gale"

I stare into his eyes which are the exact same shade of grey as mine and he stares into mine. Delly and Preston still haven't woken up and I don't blame them, they must be exhausted. Gale looks more attractive, if that is even possible. A boy, who doesn't look older than 18 comes by and helps me get up. Gale rouses Delly and Preston up, they seem momentarily confused, but they don't ask any questions. Delly's head has swollen a bit because she refused to get in the cupboard, but they still shoved her in here and kicked her head. We get out of the train and a medic team greets us. After they applied some type of gel to Delly's head, we head to the hovercraft. The people in there open the door and hold out a ramp. We head in with me in the front and Delly in the back. Just as we are about to enter, I hear an ear piercing shriek.

It's Delly.

I look over my shoulder and I she has been shot with a poison arrow. Gale immediately sees the shooter and with a gun, shoots him right in the head. This reminds me of when I hit Marvel with my bow and arrows when he threw a spear at Rue. I still can't wrap my head to what has happened but my feet brings me to her side. I hold her hand as life escapes her. She's dead. Because of me. Sweet innocent Delly. Just living her childhood dream of travelling between Districts. She had the unfortunate luck of being in the same train as me. She survived the war, but not a train ride. Because of me. I start sobbing. Crying. Screaming. I have entered the world of hysteria. Gale and the other boy tries to get me off Delly but I just elbow them out of the way. My whole life is an arena in the Hunger Games. This is my final straw. I can't do this anymore. I see the knife on Gale's belt and I reach to grab it. I manage to take and just as I'm about to puncture it on my heart, someone grabs my knife and throws it away.

A/N Another short but action filled chapter :) I have been so bad at updating, I'm sorry. I can't believe I got 450+ views! Thank you all for reviews/favs/follows as it encourages me to write more :) (If you haven't noticed, I love ending chapters with cliffhangers so expect more of that!)
