*Gale's POV*
"Fine." I nod my head and move to sit between this strange kid and Katniss. She shoots me a nasty look and whispers
"I can take care of myself!"
I put my arm around her anyway.
The guy takes something from the bottom of the machine and says,
"Do you like apple juice?"
Katniss attempts a laugh but it comes out like a shaky sigh.
"I've never had it." She says.
The guy gawks at her.
"Never had it?"
"Yea, "I say.
"We mostly live off of squirrels. Deer if we're lucky."I add.
The guy standing beside him drags the kid with Apple juice away.
"What was that about?" I ask Katniss.
She shakes her head and laughs.
"People here are weird."
"Agreed."I say.
I look around and see a group of people loitering by a store. There are five of them.
The smallest of them all comes over to us.
"What now?"Katniss mutters.
"Hello." The little girl says.
"My name is Lucy Pevensie."She continues. "I was wondering if you know where we are?"She asks.
"Um.."Katniss starts.
"You see- we don't exactly know where we are either. Some type of mall..?" I say.
Lucy nods her head as if to say okay.
"Thank you."And she walks away.

*Katniss's POV*

I see more people come around the corner. There are four of them. The girl looks like she's showing the others around, she's been here before...
I notice the others. One has an odd scar on his forehead, it looks kinda like a lightning bolt.
The tallest of them is picking on what looks to be his brother- they both have ginger hair and freckles, unlike the rest of the group.
"George, stop!" The girl says.
The tallest, George, laughs.
"I'm not doing anything!" He protests but stops picking on his brother.
Their voices sound funny.

The group passes us and I notice they have bags in their hands. What are those for?
I look at Gale, but see he's looking past me. At the group that little girl, Lucy, came from. He's looking at the other girl, her sister I'm assuming.
"Gale."I nudge him.
"Hmm?"He asks.
"Are you okay?"I laugh.
"Yea. Sorry."He laughs back.
The girl from the group approaches us. This time, everyone follows.
"Excuse me,"She starts.
"My name is Susan Pevensie."She continues. "My sister, Lucy, has informed me you two don't seem to know our exact location either."
"Yes."Gale says.
"Well that helps a lot." One of the kids say.
"Listen here you little-"I start but Gale cuts me off.
"We came through.. a portal?-" Gale looks at me and I nod my head. "-and then we got here.."
They smile at us- they being Susan and Lucy.
"We got here through the same portal!"Lucy says.
"We're at some type of mall."Gale says.
"The Blue Ridge Mall."I add.
"This certainly isn't Narnia."I hear another guy whisper to someone.
"Thank you for your help."Another tall, light brown-haired guy says.
"I'm Peter by the way..."He adds.
"No problem."I chuckle.
"Would you like to walk around with us..? See where we are I mean..?"Lucy asks.
"No thanks." I say as Gale says, "Yes."
The group stands there, confused.
"No."I say as politely as possible.
Lucy's expression noticeably drops.
"We'll be on our way then."The dark brown haired boy says.
"Wait Edmund.."The guy beside him whispers.
"For what Eustace?" Edmund asks.
"Oh never mind."Eustace whispers back.
And with that, the group turns and walks away.
"What was with all that yes and no stuff?"Gale asks me.
I shrug.
"I just didn't want to walk around with them. Why, did you?" I ask.
Gale shrugs.
"Just thought it might help, they might find someone who does know where we're at." He says.
"It would help walking around with a whole bunch of other people who don't know where we are either? Just as equally confused?" I ask.
Gale sighs again.
"I'm sorry..."
