I know that you guys probably hate me! I'm so sorry. My laptop hates me, so I couldn't turn it on for, like, a week. I hope that you guys don't hate me all too much. I have a lot going on in my life though. My Grandfather recently passed away, my family is packing up our old house, and my family is kinda messed up right now. School is also really taxing, because I have a bunch of tests coming up, so I need to study, study, study. Enjoy the chapter.

Eragon's POV:

So, Katniss and, get this Pita, might just join us. I don't see why Arya slapped me, just because I laughed at Pita's name. Then she said that it's spelled Peeta not Pita. I still wanted to laugh though. Poor Peeta, he's named after a bread.

The biggest shock was when Katniss and Peeta (snicker) came down the stairs. Katniss had said "We've decided to join you." Nobody had expected her to trust us, especially considering that I said any of us could kill her. Not the smartest move on my part.

But still, when Katniss came down, everyone was stock-still. Not going to move. And we wouldn't have if she refused to help us. Hopefully she was actually good with that bow that she had.

I don't see why we couldn't just try and recruit her friends though; they would be able to convince her to go without us having to threaten her. Oh well. What's done is done, and we just recruited her, so why should I be complaining? I shouldn't.

I was really glad that Katniss was coming with us, considering that she hates someone too. Hopefully she'll get a chance to kill that person, just how I would love a chance to kill Galbatorix. That's mainly the only reason that all of us are on this expedition; to kill the ones we hate the most.

Or at least brutally injure them.

Leo's POV:

Oh. My. God.

I know that I've never been good with people, but I never thought that I would almost get killed by it.

When I said 'Like the bread?' that Katniss girl nearly killed me! I guess she didn't want her boyfriend Peeta to get killed by one of us. So I thought that when she came down those stairs, followed by shortie, she was going to shoo us out of her house. She seems like one of those people that really knows how to hold a grudge, and a killer one at that.

I had kinda been hoping that she would say that she didn't want to go; it was too risky, too dangerous. But no, she was coming, crazy shooting skills and all. I was dreading it, but hey, we need all the people we can get.

I just hope that I'll survive through it all.

Jason's POV:

I was excited to recruit yet another five people or so. It was getting just a tad boring having to see the same people all the time, day after day. It was nice to see some new faces. Hopefully they would be friendly soon.

When Katniss had said that she and Peeta would join our band of allies, I was overjoyed. Katniss could probably get some other people to join us too, or that's what I hoped.

Don't get ahead or yourself, Jason, I thought. Maybe everyone here is afraid of tyrants. I should probably start the strategy meeting. Let Katniss know who everyone is.

"Okay, everyone!" I shouted.Once I had everyone's attention except Katniss's, I spoke in an 'inside voice,' like my teachers always taught me too, despite my want to yell. "We need to plan upon how to proceed from here. I was thinking that-"

"Who are all of you? And why did you say the door was unlocked? I know that I locked it," Peeta stated. Katniss looked appalled.

"Did you lie to me?" she spat at Eragon. "I you did, I swear-" Just then, a freakish smelling man walked in.

"Calm your ass, Sweetheart. You should probably know that that one," he pointed at Harry, "Pulled a neat little trick. See, he unlocked the door with a wand, and a flash of light. It was all quite cool, really." When he finished, he went over to the couch and plopped down on it. "What you gonna do about it?" he asked her.

Katniss walked over to Harry. "You," she seethed.

"Yes, I'm me," Harry replied.

"What did you do, huh?" Katniss asked.

"I got into your house." Harry put his face closer to hers. "What are you gonna do about it?"

She recoiled. He just moved closer. "Get away from you. That's what I'm gonna do."

"I'm not gonna let that happen, though." He leaned in quickly and kissed Katniss. A fist slammed into Harry's cheek. It wasn't Katniss's though.

Sorry for the cliffhanger! When you guys review, feel free to guess who punched the Chosen One! Please review! They make me smile whenever I read them! Have a nice day!
