"Prim!" I whipped around to face her "You can't announced it in front of..." I waved my hand to my children who looked very mystified.

"They need to know" Prim countered

"No" I snapped "They don't"

"What?" Rue asked tagging my shirt "What do we need to know"

"Nothing" I answered "Its not important"

"Mommy" Finnick spoke up "We need to know"

"Peeta" I looked at him for support but he was wavering to Prim's side.

"Fine!" I snapped "I will tell them"

Rue and Finnick looked at me waiting for the news.

"Well" I started "It at the day of reaping. Peeta and I was chosen..."

Their eyes were wide in interested.

"So, I continued "We somehow got we started going into...you know"

"The mushy stuffs" Finnick guessed with a sour face

"Yes" I glared at him "But Gale...he wasn't really happy..."

"So he wants revenge?" Rue suggested "On all of us?"

I nodded grimly.

Prim spoke up "What are you going to do?"

Finnick pretended to choke himself.

"No..." I stammered "I ca...n't kill him" I croaked at the word.

My family member looked at me waiting for answer...good answer to get them and me out of the trouble.

Then I got a great idea "Why don't we ask Haymitch"

***********************************************************

"HAYMITCH!" I screamed in the old man's ear waking him up.

"What do you want?" He snapped still drowsly from the nap "You better have a good reason"

"I do" I snapped back "Its Gale"

Haymitch was snoring again and I shook him "He almost killed Finnick!"

"Good for h..." Haymitch started to say "WHAT?!"

"He almost killed Finnick. Oh plus me" I repeated.

"Just report him" Haymitch suggested "Or kill him"

"I can't do that!" I cried "He will be excuted! I owe him too much"

"Then what ARE you going to do?"

"I wish I knew..." I made a joyful face. "Why would I be here if I didn't?"
