Stay with me? Forever or Never?(hunger games fourth book)

Chapter 18

i know i said i might update on monday and i was going to but the internet was having troubles and i was going to update yesterday but i had a lot of homework. so im updateding today, heres chapter 18.

I start walking again but faster this time. "PEETA!" I scream. I was about to sprint when someone's hand went over my mouth and another hand grabs my arm.

"shhhh!" I hear Rea whisper. I turn around and face her and she take her hands away. "you don't want them to know were coming because if they do know then Peeta and the other girl will most likely get killed!" she hisses. I nod.

"I'm sorry." I say. 

"it's ok I think were far enough away from the house that they won't here us." She puts her hands on my shoulders and I just realized that I was shaking. "better?" I nod and she takes her hands off my shoulders. I look down at my hands just to make sure I'v stopped shaking. I have. "let's go try the front door."

"It's propberly locked." She shakes her head.

"he's an idiot." She laughs and I laugh too. Rea starts walking and motions for me to follow her. It's too slow walking but I know if we ran then Gale would probably hear us. When we finally reach the door Rea twists the handle and the door opens. "see I was right he's an idiot." she whispers. I smile. As she opens the door more it starts to creak. Rea immediately stops and holds the door still. She let's go of the handle and slips threw the space between the door and the wall. I squeeze threw next. I look around and I can't see much considering it's dark in here.

"I can't see it's too dark." I whisper.

"that's a good thing. they wont see us coming." Rea whispers back. That does make sense. "where do you think they are?" As soon as she says the last word there's a thud and someone who I'm pretty sure is Peeta screams 'no'.

"upstairs!" I whisper yell. We quietly walk up the stairs and follow the sound of voices to the room they are in.

"pssst!" I look over toward the sound and see Rea pointing to a door behind her. I walk over to her and she holds up three fingers. I nod and she lowers one finger, then another. She lowers her last finger and swings the door open. The door wasn't locked, once again Gale is such an idiot. The door bangs on the wall and bounces back a bit. I look around the room and see Peeta tied to a chair, Gale standing next to him, some guy I don't know standing over Delly with a knife, and Delly laying on the ground with blood around her. It doesn't look like she's breathing. They killed her. Gale's lips turn up into a smile.

"well Katniss I'm glad you've decide to come. who's your little friend?" Gale asks. I don't answer him. I look at Peeta and see he is staring at me. Even though he may have cuts all over him, his eyes that I get lost in every time haven't changed. We lock eyes and he gives a slight smile and I see him wince.

"I can speak for myself, I'm Rea." I hear Rea answer. I see Gale move and I imediatly remove my eyes from Peeta. Gale's staring at me and I glare back at him.

"why did you do this?" I ask. Gale and his friend chuckle. "also who is that?" I point toward his friend.

"this is Travis and I did all this because you should be mine and not Peeta's." He answers. "so I'm assuming you read my note I left you?"

"yeah, I did and  if you wanted me to find you then you did a good job of dropping hints." I say.

"that was the point you were suppose to find me." says Gale. 

"so now that she's here what are you going to do?" Rea asks.

"as I said in the note I gave her she has to be my girlfriend." Peeta's eyes widen. Gale turns to Peeta and says "sorry Peeta but if she wants you to live then she has to be mine." Peeta turns to me with sad eyes.

"kill me then" Peeta mumbles. My eyes widen. I rush over to Peeta and block Gale from him.

"no don't!" I shout in Gale's face. Rea comes over to my side and crosses her arms.

"if you want to kill Peeta then you have to go through me and Katniss." Rea says.

"well I'm not going to kill Peeta because I haven't asked Katniss this one question." Gale says.

"what?" I ask.

"Katniss will you be my girlfriend?" It's no longer than a second before I answer.

"no."

"oh, well that's a shame." Gale looks back at Travis and I look at Rea. She winks at me and backs up. She flashes the edge of a pocket knife she has. She stands beside Peeta and starts cutting the ropes. "while Travis is going to take care of Delly let's all have a chat." I turn back and see Travis throw Delly over his shoulder.

"a chat about what?" I ask.

"about you being my girlfriend."

"I said no and no means no."

"why can't we just talk about the pros of our soon to be relationship."

"what about the cons?" I ask. Gale shakes his head.

"there would be nothing wrong with our relationship. it would be perfect." Gale smiles. "unlike your relationship with Peeta which was all cons and no pros." I feel anger rising inside of me.

"my relationship with Peeta is all pros and no cons! if I had a relationship with you it would be all cons and no pros!" I shout at him. Gale starts walking toward me and I see him pull out a knife from his pocket. I start backing up and feel arms wrap around my waist. Gale is still coming toward me when a chair flies across the room.
