The Hunger Games: Burned

Chapter 6

"We could do it you know,"

"Do what?"

"Run away, have kids," The flashback went away. 

"Gale?" I yelled, running to his house, I knocked the door and was greeted by Hazelle. 

"Hello Katniss," She smiled.

"Is Gale here?" She nodded and called him down. His handsome face smiled when he saw me, I could tell he had been crying. He embraced me in a hug and whispered in my ear. 

"We could do it you know, run away, have kids," 

"We'd have to take Prim, and all your sibling," I responded, he nodded.

"Lets pack, we've got a week." I pulled apart from his hug, his hand wrapped around mine, I smiled and he led me  into the room that him and his two brothers slept. Rory was lying stretched out on his bed.

"Hey Katniss," He said coolly, I knew he had a massive crush on Prim, I smirked in return. Gale sat on the bed and pulled out a long stretch of silk. I gasped.

"Where did you get that?" 

"I traded five rabbits for it,"

"That's a lot,"

"I know, but you cost more to me, than all the rabbits and squirrels in the world," I was taken aback by his comment but squeezed his hand.

"You too," 

"Um, I'm still here ya'know." Rory comments.

"Yeah we know," I said, still gazing into his beautiful eyes.

"I'm just gonna leave." Rory sat up and quickly hurried out.

 As soon as he left I looked back at Gale, he caressed my cheek and leans down to kiss me. Just like that time so long ago, before the Third Quarter Quell. I kiss him back passionately and his arms snake around my waist, mine tangle up in his hair. I push harder into the kiss and feel sparks. Gale's tongue lands on my bottom lip, I waste no time and let him in, he explores my mouth greedily and I feel my shoulders relax, I open my mouth slightly for air and so does Gale. Our tongues fight for dominance and he wins. He breaks apart after what felt like an hour of heaven. I look at him with pretend dissapointment after he broke away and he smirks.

"Like that Catnip?" My response is a quick peck on his lips and I help him pack. We pack a few clothes, his bow, arrows, a knife and some food. We then head over to my house and pack the same, this time with some medicine. We decide to meet in the woods with our families the next day when the sun goes down.
