Gale's POV

I see her in the woods hunting with all her many allies. Katniss Mellark, my ex-best friend, with her stupid weak husband Peeta, their daft son Finn, a random child who they'll just murder from district 4 and... wait who is that beside Finn? "It can't be! Kat's in district 12 isn't she?!" I ask my only ally Jessie. "I mean I never saw help in the Capitol or during the television previews, she can't be here. It must be someone else helping those Mellarks!"

"No Gale, it is Kat, she's been helping Finn ever since she entered the arena 3 weeks ago and Katniss, Peeta, she's been helping them for a week now too." Jessie explains to me, I can't believe my Own Daughter would betray me especially at this point in time considering what's going on. "So, what do we do now?" Jessie asks.

"The only thing we can do at the moment, follow them to their camp, we stock up on supplies tonight, wait till midnight and then perform a total ambush on them I'll show them that they can't mess with my daughter, they don't own me. Some how they think their invincible, I'll show them!" I reply getting louder and louder by the minute till I'm almost shouting. We keep on the Mellarks trail for another 3 hours until they finally decide to give up and go back. They have caught and gathered many supplies in the past few hours and so we have no doubt they would be planning to leave their hideout anytime soon and we can quicken the ambush up. This is going to be the best few days of my life! The Mellarks, here today, gone tomorrow.

Katniss' POV

Hunting has been the most relaxing part of these games so far. Now that people Peeta has recovered from his poisoning, we can at last do some proper hunting and stock up for the next few days. However somehow I have this slight feeling, a feeling in which I've had before when I would hunt with Gale many years ago before my first hunger games. At this point, I keep my eye own every single little movement in the woods regardless of what it is or may be. After a few hours of hunting we don't get an amazing amount of food but now that Peeta is better we can easily go again tomorrow and leave the children at the cave. "Peeta, It's getting late, we should start heading back to the cave now we can easily come back out again tomorrow to do more hunting without the kids." I call over to Peeta.

"Your right Katniss, Finn, Kat, Lucia lets get going now." Peeta calls to the others and we start the long journey back to the cave. Once we get back we split the food evenly between the five of us and then have a bite to eat, just as finish eating the children all drift off to sleep leaving myself and Peeta curled up in the middle of the cave. I leave it a few minutes before asking a question that's been on my mind ever since I got back earlier.

"Peeta, when we were hunting did it feel like we were being followed at any point, to you?" I asked.

"No not really Katniss. Why what's wrong?" Peeta replies getting slightly concerned.

"Wait, wait Peeta, it's okay nothing wrong... I think... I just felt like we were being followed earlier by someone unexpected... Someone who is after us more than ever," I say to him.

"When that doesn't shorten the list anymore does it Katniss, I think most people in this arena now are out for us!" Peeta jokes, "look Katniss, even if there is someone following us they will NEVER get their hands on Finn, Lucia, Kat, you or me. Okay? Anyway just you and me are going out hunting tomorrow so if there was someone following us we can listen out and kill them at the same time."

"Okay Peeta, You should get some sleep now, I'll wake you up in around 4 hours to take over the watch." Peeta nods his head resting against me and falls straight to sleep. Once he's asleep I curl up against him watching the world outside the cave and thinking who could possibly want to kill us so much and why? Mind you who ever it is WILL die soon, allies or not allies.
