Living on Without You (Hunger Games FanFic)

Chapter 1: Forgetting

Gale sat on the rock looking into the forest that was full of ash and bones. It use to be lush and green and a place where Katniss and Gale liked to hunt. The revolution just ended and Katniss chose Peeta instead of Gale and it was killing him inside knowing that Peeta took her away from him. If she was even his to be taken away at the beginning.

Gale stood and pulled a little vial of yellowish brown liquid. He never thought he would ever use this or even need to. He heard the sounds from above him and he knew it was someone trying to come and get him. Not his friends for he didn’t really have any now. He blamed it on the one stupid bomb that killed Katniss’s sister. He didn’t mean to and never wanted her sister to die for he loved her almost as much as he loved Katniss. With guilt eating him up inside he pulls off the cork on the small glass vial.

“I love you Katniss, I always will even if I don’t know it.” He lifts the vial to his lips and drinks it down. The Tracker Jacker venom was not enough to kill Gale. It was just the right amount to make him forget. Forget Katniss, forget their friendship, his love for her, the heartbreak she had given him. It would make him forget it all because he didn’t want to love her when he knew that it would only cause pain to him and others.

A latter falls down from the sky and Gale grasps it with one hand while throwing the vial behind him. He could feel the effects taking place as his thoughts of Katniss erased his mind slowly and painfully. He took a seat and lets his eyes drift closed and instead of the nightmare he has of Katniss rejecting him to run off with Peeta and living right next door to Gale to taunt him about their love, this time was different, it was fuzzy and very colorful. Everything was a haze and nothing seemed normal for very long, at first it was just him and Katniss hunting in the forest but the animals were strange colors. Then Katniss started talking nonsense about Peeta bread and that she was sick of meet and going vegetarian. Then she was gone and Peeta was placed in front of Gale he was making fun of him because he could not win Katniss’s heart. Just as fast as he had appeared he was gone and Gale was in his home with Prim. When he asked where Katniss was Prim just shook her head saying that there was no Katniss. Everyone was sparkling and was wavy, nothing stayed still and they were all made of unnatural colors. The dream went about with it’s random events but every single one had Katniss in it less and less. By the end she was not talked about at all like she didn’t exist.

Gale woke to someone shaking him awake to see the driver of the helicopter staring down at him.

“Where do you want to go sir? I think you said something about district 2 but I am not sure,” The man says to Gale who shooed him away with his hand.

“2 will be fine, I must have some reason for going there, the reason just escapes me.”

“I thought it was something to do with Katniss.” The pilot say.

“That must of been it.’ Gale says confused. Who is Katniss? The name pulled at his heart a little but he ignored it. Gale fell back asleep and the strange dream came over him but not once was Katniss’s name mentioned.

Gale didn’t know who Katniss was, his plan worked and for that he was pleased but just didn’t know he was or why. When he awoke again he was in the huge place of District 2. People rushed him asking him questions he did not the answer to for most of them had that Katniss person in them. Gale remembered District 2 and the war but not the girl who ended it. He remembered the hunger games and that his own brother was a avox but yet he could not remember who the girl was that was part of it for the last two years. Gale wanted to know who she was but some part in him told him to keep forgetting and not trying to remember. It was not needed and no one wants him too anyways. After pushing through the huge crowd of people saying he was not in the mood to talk, he runs down the streets needing to get out of this place. Gale needed some space so the people let him have some. Gale stuffed his hand into his pocket knowing there would be a key. He didn’t remember much of some things but he does remember buying a house here to get away from a person who guessed was that Katniss girl. He wondered what she was like, was she sweet? rude? Gale didn’t want to think of it so a small part of his brain blocked it out. Katniss was not his problem anymore because he did not remember her. Maybe he will one day but today is not that day.

Gale scans the numbers written on the houses till he came to one that matched the number to the one on his key, 74. He step into the building and reads the second number, 6. He got into an elevator and went to the sixth floor. Finally he read the third number and went to the room that matched it, 75. He put in the key and opened the door and quickly locked it behind himself. Without looking at the room around him, Gale ran to the closest couch and crashed on it. He needed to forget, he wanted to forget, and thank the heavens that he was forgetting.
