The Evil Inside Us

Chapter 6
"Ok Katniss," Madge turns around with two dresses in her hand. "What should I wear to the ball on Saturaday? The green gown, or the light blue one?" She asks
"You know green is my favorite color, but you would look better in the blue one. It'll make your eyes stand out," I suggest
She squeals. "Katniss, you are a genius! I'm so lucky to have you," She smiles. She disappears into her closet, putting her gown up. I lay on her bed waiting for her to hurry up. We have to go pick up Prim from Gale's house, since Prim wanted to visit Rory, Gale's brother.
"If you don't mind me asking, what's going on with you and Gale?" Madge asks, while brushing her hair out.
I shake my head. "What's not going on between me and Gale? He has a problem with me hanging out with Peeta a lot. I mean Peeta's one of my best friends, why can't he just get that?" I question
"Katniss, honey, you gotta prove to him that you don't love anyone else but him. He's going to continue thinking you like Peeta, if you don't show him a little action," She smirks
I roll my eyes. "Ok, lets go. We have to get Prim," I remind her while grabbing my purse
"Alright, alright, wait up!"
Madge decided that she wanted to drive, in her new car that she just bought a week ago. She wanted to prove to her dad that she could buy her own items without needing his help. She worked her ass off for this car, and this is one of the nicest cars I've ever seen. We cruise on the road, hurrying to Gale's house. I look outside and see how nice it looks. The sun shines in front of me, so I pull down the handle at the top of the car to block the sun. Just when I can start to see a little clearer, I notice something in front of us.
"Madge! Watch out!" I yell
Madge swerves the car around the person and continues on the road. "Why the hell was that asshole in the middle of the road?!" She asks worriedly
"I don't know! That was unexpected,"
Then we hear three loud beeps from the radio. "This is not a test. I repeat this a not a test. For you're safety, head inside as soon as possible, lock all doors, and stay inside until this gets cleared. A possible outbreak has occurred, proceed with caution. If anyone who seems to be unstable, stay away from them. If someone bites you, get to the hospital immediately. I repeat this is not a test,"
I turn to Madge. "What the hell is going on?" I wonder out loud
She puts her foot on the gas. "I don't know, but I'm not sticking around here to find out. Lets just get to Gale's house and stay there for the night. This seems pretty legit,"
That night, we stayed holed up in Gale's place. We watched the news and it seemed like everything just kept getting worse and worse. I started getting worried about my friends.
I take my phone and call Peeta. He picks up on the first ring.
"Are you ok?" We both ask at the same time. I give a small laugh.
"Where are you?" He asks
"At Gale's house," I tell him. "Have you heard from Annie and Finnick?"
"Yes, they called me as soon as the alert went off. They're fine. I heard on the news that we should head out to a station, in the morning. Apperently, they'll give us some sort of safety,"
"Great, call me and we'll meet up in the morning. All of us will, might as well stick together,"
The traffic was horrible. We weren't moving at all. Madge was in the back freaking out because she couldn't get a hold of her dad. Peeta and Finnick and Annie's car are right next to my car. Gale is driving the RV that me and Prim got so we could go on a trip but it doesn't seem like we'll be taking a trip anytime soon.
"I can't sit in the car any longer," I shriek and get out of the car. Many people are doing the same, just getting out and looking along, wondering when the hell are we ever gonna move.
"You!" Someone yells
I turn around and see a man with long blond hair. "Excuse me?" I ask
"Do you know what the hell is going on right now?"
"Sorry sir, I have no idea whats going on. I didn't expect this much traffic at all,"
"My name's Haymitch. We'll probably be hanging around here for a while, might as well get used to having each other around," He says
"I'm Katniss," I tell him
I turn around and notice Peeta is talking to some girl, with brown hair. She has a stocky build for a girl. Is Peeta into that kind of girls? I walk over towards them.
"Katniss! Hey this is Johanna, we were just talking about what was going on," He tells me
"Yeah, I'm stuck here with my best friends brother, Cato, waiting for her to call me so we can figure out what to do next," Johanna explains. She looks at me and Peeta. "So are you two going out or something. Looks like ya'll have that little love stare going on with each other," She smirks
"Blunt much?" I roll my eyes
She laughs. "I just speak, what I see. Don't worry brainless, I won't go for you're man,"
"We're not even going out," I inform her. "And brainless?"
"I give everyone who I like nicknames," She reaches out her hand to me to shake my hand. I give in and shake hers. She smiles
"I think we're going to be great friends," She whispers in my ear before turning to Peeta.
I hear a loud scream and see many people running around. Peeta and I glance at each other and rush to our cars. "Johanna follow our cars," Peeta yells back at her.
I suddenly remember Haymitch and decided that he can't be left alone out here. "Haymitch! Follow our cars," I tell him before hitting the RV signalling Gale to come on. I get back into the car that I was in and start it up. Peeta's car goes down the side of the road and we go down the dirt road until we reach a road going up. Peeta honks his horn and I know he wants to see what this place is so we all follow him up the road. The road going up takes a while before we actually find a large area.
We all get out of the cars and look around. "Are we on a mountain?" Prim asks
"Looks like it," I say looking around
We all look at each other and soon learn that we're not going to be leaving this place anytime soon.
I hope you enjoy this chapter, I knew I needed to fit this flashback into the story somehow, and I thought this would be the perfect place to put it in. So review telling me what you think about this chapter and I'll probably respond to you through PM. See you guys later :)
