The Hunger Games AU: Katniss escapes into the woods with her family, Gale and his family, Peeta and Haymitch before the Quarter Quell. Requested by bestunderworldkiss
We ran off into the woods, just as I had proposed.
Gale’s family came along with us, as did Prim and my mother. Peeta came as well, but never spoke of it to his family. He won’t tell us why. Haymitch was reluctant, but he agreed as well. We packed the bare minimum, and simply left one night, just before dawn.
The days are long, but I am never tired of the woods. Gale and I hunt, Peeta cooks, my mother and Prim take care of anyone who becomes ill. Thankfully we brought the plant book along with us.
I often wonder what the arena would have held for me this time, what horrors the game makers would have had in store for me.
We are all fugitives- forever running from the Capitol’s iron grip. There are days I wish we had stayed, days I’m glad we left. But one thing remains constant.
One day, we are either going to be captured and killed, tortured or turned into Avoxes. Or we will just keep running, continuously moving into the vast green of the rest of Panem with no aim in sight. One day, I asked Haymitch if there was anything else out there.
He looks at me tentatively, takes a swig of white liquor that we brought along with us, and sighs.
“There’s always District thirteen.”
Gale is mine. I am his. Anything else is unthinkable.

“He’s good-looking, he’s strong enough to handle the work in the mines, and he can hunt.”

He was brought to the square, forced to plead guilty to his crime, and sentenced to a whipping to be carried out immediately.

Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her goOnly know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
