He is sleeping good that should give us the opportunity we desparately need. I signal for the others to wait while I sneak over the ledge towards the very edge of the volcano, knife in hand, ready to slit Gale's neck. I was right beside him when the unthinkable happened, the cannon sounded 3 times displaying the faces of Jennifer, Mollie and Taylor. This startled Gale causing him to leap up but soon realising his fortune. He start to laugh, shaking his head as the rest of my alliance run to my side. "You know Katniss, I always thought I was better than you and well here you are failing yet again. Your pathetic, you can never make a kill and as for your son you can't ever protect him, as I said Pathetic." I can feel the anger building up inside me as I grip the knife tighter building up the urge to strike an attack at him. But it was all too late. Ross, Chloe and Precious lurch forward towards Gale, knifes, axes and swords in hands but it was exactly what Gale had expected. He gripped each by the neck, and with a short sharp snap, broke their necks one by one and tossed them into the bubbling magma and the volcano without a care. I gasp slowly edging towards Gale but not too close to cause a reaction. "Yeah keep your distance why don't you, or you'll get a first class ticket to the pit of lava too." Gale threatened.
"Where's Kat?!" I shout at him, I needed to know she was safethat she was not in danger.
"Oh, she's fine..." He replies backing away towards a tightly made rope and pulling it away from the edge. That was when my heart skipped a beat. There was little Kat curled up in a ball within a cage that had been hanging several metres from the bubbling magma.
"You vile, repulsive, murderer!" Peeta shouts hurtling towards Gale. However again he was ready. He ties the rope and grabs hold of Peeta this time without snapping his neck but restricting his breathing.
"You don't learn do you?" He says shaking his head at Peeta. "Right then you will do as I say or Peeta gets it. You will climb into the cage with Kat and let myself and Peeta have a little... chat let's say." I hesitate I can't leave Peeta up here alone but I have no choice if I am to keep him alive. I climb in first, beside Kat it is already incredibly unstable but I had to help Johanna in too. She started to come near the edge, when I heard a sigh from Gale followed by a scream from Johanna. She had slipped, well pushed by Gale I reckon. I grasp her hand just in time but I'm too weak however much I try I can't hold on.
"Katniss, let go. I was never going to last anyway. You need to go home with Peeta. Your one of the only friends I have ever had Katniss. Goodbye MockingJay." She says and lets go of my grip and falls into the magma. The cannon sounds signalling her death. I lean back into the cage next to Kat as Gale slams the door and lowers the cage slightly, leaving the gap just big enough for me to see and hear Gale and Peeta conversation. I hope he doesn't hurt him, he can't hurt him. I lean up against the cage and desparately wait for them to say something, hopefully it will all be over soon Gale will be gone and Peeta, Kat and I can go home.
