Katniss pov
Gale whisperd into my ear "what are we gonna do once it gets cold?" He asks. I worry a little at this. "I... I don't know. We could have a campfire like we do when we get stuck in here when the fence is on." I say. But my stomach it twisting in knots. What are we going to do? Gale must have sensed my feeling. No surprise there. He always does. As we stand up to go help set up camp, I hug him. Tight. He doesn't hesitate for a second to hug me back. I am again comforted by his strong arms. I feel a little bit better. "We can do this. We'll be ok catnip" he mumbles into my hair. I try to believe him
We wander back to the camp our mothers set up to find a huge bed of pine needles and leaves. Prim set out a few blankets. This was everyone's bed for tonight. Tomorrow, Gale and I will have to think of something better
Everyone is freezing. The fire isn't even warming our finger tips. My mother cuddles prim. Mrs. Hawthorne hugs Rory. Posy is in Vicks arms. I am left freezing. So is Gale. I hear his teeth chattering next to me, and I'm sure he hears mine. I turn over to look at him. "How are we gonna make this work? It's the first night and it's not even winter and everyone's freezing" I say sadly. A huge shiver racks my body. Gale slowly pulls me into his arms. We both stop shivering soon. "Better?" He asks. "Yes" I say with a little giggle. His arms tighten around me. I feel warm and safe. Maybe we will be ok. I start to fall asleep to that thought with Gale stroking my hair lightly. We can do this. The both of us can do this. We have eachother. I cover gales hand with mine. As I am drifting off. My hair being brushed from my face as I close my eyes.
