The Evil Inside Us

By Elizthewiz

Warning: Character death in this chapter. Guess who's going to be the first one dead and tell me who you guessed it was by reviewing.

Chapter 4

Well once upon a time there was a sweetheart
A pretty girl with lips of red
She took a walk down by the graveyard
And out of nowhere something
Grabbed her head!

"What's the big plan you're coming up with Peeta?" I ask

"Well, I found a couple of houses outside the city, near the coast, but their are a bunch of walkers. I just need to clear the area from walkers and build a barrier. The only thing we would have to worry about is food, which we would look for every week. You are right, this mountain is not going to last so we need to work quickly with this," Peeta explains

"I think you should take a team to clear the houses. We can build the barriers once we move in there, but we need to get the houses cleared and cleaned so we're not sleeping in dirt," I tell him

He nods. "You want to come? We could go now," He suggests

"Yeah, you go organize a team and I'll go load up the cars,"

"Meet you at the cars in 20 minutes," He leans down and kisses my cheek.

"Alright, alright go," I wave him off

Peeta got Finnick, Cato, and Johanna to come with us. They are all gathered around the cars ready to go.

"Everyone put their silencers on their pistols, we're not using the big guns yet unless it's necessary," I inform them

"Cato and Finnick, ride together in that car. I'll take the ladies with me," Peeta tells them

They nod and we all get into the cars. I sit up front next to Peeta and Johanna sits in the back.

"So this is probably a future place for us?" Johanna asks

"Yeah, it's on the coast. The walkers can't swim, we should be safe. And we'll build our barrier around so the walkers can't get to us," Peeta looks back at Johanna and then grabs the map.

"I'm telling you right now, I'm living with you and Peeta. I can not live with that Madge girl, she complains about everything. How were you friends with her Katniss?"

I shrug. "I don't know, she was pretty cool but she's always hated dirty things. So, now that she has to live in nature, she's probably going crazy,"

"I can't stand the girl. She needs to appreciate this group and start working more. Atleast me and you aren't afraid to get our ass dirty,"

I laugh at Johanna. "I admit, she needed a little attitude check last night,"

An hour later, we pull up towards a little abandoned area not far from the city. I hop out of the car and grab all of the weapons I need. Peeta soon signals up to start moving towards the houses. Cato and Finnick go into the first house. Peeta and I take the second house and Johanna's going to warn us if a herd is approaching.

Me and Peeta start looking through each room, looking for any signs of walkers. The house was not as dirty as I thought it would be, it has few spots of walker blood. The worst place is the kitchen, it smells like hell in here. A few walkers are already dead in here. Peeta drags their bodies out of the house. I walk up the stairs looking at the bedrooms. Everything seems to be fine in here. I walk into the bathroom, and out of curiosity, I turn the handle to the bathtub. Water pours out of the faucet. I smile, knowing we have some water here meaning we can take a bath and wash our hair.

I open the closet to the bathroom and instantly get jump back. Inside is a little girl, her eyes staring at me while she's griping a knife. She looks terrified right now.

"I'm not going to hurt you," I tell her bending down

"Why are you here?" She questions me

Ignoring her question, I ask her one. "Have you been living on your own?" I ask

She nods. "Not for long, my mom and dad died a few days ago. The walkers got them while they were hunting and they made me shoot them in the kitchen," She explains

I gasp, feeling sorry for this girl. "I'm so sorry. What's your name?" I reach for her hand to help her up

"My name? My name is Rue,"

"Nice to meet you Rue. My group wants to move our camp around here and we were clearing the houses of walkers. Come back to our camp with us. We'll take care of you,"

She seems hesitant but she nods. She follows me as we leave the room together.

Annie and Prim went down to catch fish so they surprised us by cooking them for us. We're going to eat together with each other and our new member, Rue. Prim immediately welcomed her and took her to the RV.

Now night fall has occurred and we're all eating with each other having a good time. I sit as close to Peeta as possible and he slips his arm over my shoulder to pull me closer to him. Johanna rolls her eyes at us, and proceeds to dig her face into her fish.

"Katniss, I didn't know you and Peeta were so.. close?" Madge mentions

"Yeah, we've been friends for awhile Madge, you know this," I shake my head

"I guess but really if I would think you two were together or something," She suggests

"Do you wanna know the truth Madge? Yes, Peeta and I are together. Are you happy that you know this? Are you going to run back to Gale and tell him the news? Are you going to seduce him again since we're not together anymore?" I keep questioning her

"Oh Katniss, you and Gale were clearly not going to work. I was only helping him through his dry spell," She smirks

"You know Madge I don't care. If you're looking for a reaction, you're not getting it from me,"

She scoffs. "Whatever, I'm going to the bathroom," She gets up and walks away from the group.

"What was that about? I wanted to slap her so badly just now Katniss," Johanna groans

I smile. "Who cares? She's not worth it at all," I shrug

Peeta smiles. "Aww look at you growing up," He teases

"Oh shut up," I push him back

Then it happens. I see a walker, then two, then 10. Peeta gets everybody up and away.

I take out my pistol and start shooting at every walker that comes near our camp. Peeta joins in and Johanna starts swinging her axe towards anything. I have no idea where they are all coming from. How did they even get up here?

I turn around and see Prim running away from one. "Prim!" I yell shooting at the walker talking him down.

The door to my RV swings open and out comes Madge. She doesn't realize what's going on and she walks into a walker. She lets out a huge scream trying to get away. I shoot towards them but it's too late. Madge had been bitten, on her neck. There is no chance for her. I rush over to her. She's already dead when I get there.

The noise in the background fades soon. I drop down on my knees and bend over Madge's now dead body. Soon everyone surrounds us, gasping and even Prim starts crying.

Madge was one of my best friends, turned enemy and now she's dead. I can't help the tear that slips down my face. I close her eyelids, since she died with her eyes wide open. I put my gun on her forehead and pull the trigger.

Another chapter two days in a row? This is surprising even for me. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter and tell me how you feel about Madge's death? Did you expect it so soon? I'm going to start responding to people's review's so be on the lookout for a message from me. See you guys next week! :)
