Chapter One

I look around me. 23 other people, but only one stands out to me. Katniss. Her gray eyes staring into mine. Even though I know that I'll distract her I shake my head. She gives me a confused look. Then the final ten seconds start. I know my plan. Keep Katniss safe. I know the careers will be after her because of her training score. I should try to join them so I can talk them out of what their going to do. As the final second passes I jump off of the platform, and race away from the Cornucopia. Katniss, she went into the bloodbath. I see a boy cough blood into her face as they fight over an orange backpack. I run, and hide behind a tree. I'm not good at climbing them.

It's been about an hour, and the Careers haven't found me. I haven't seen Katniss for about twenty minutes. She climbed up a tree. I think she's sleeping there. I start to search for the Careers, but it seems they have already found me. Cato, Glimmer, Clove, and Marvel stand behind me. I start to run, but Cato's voice stops me.

"Don't worry Lover Boy. We're your new allies." He says. Cato starts to lead me near the woods. He's looking up in the trees. He must be looking for Katniss, as I thought he would. I tell myself. Then I think of a plan. I'll help them find Katniss, and save her when they attack.

"Cato," I start, and his eyes start to glare at me, "Katniss, she went North." I tell them. They take all their supplies, and start to head North. After a while I see Katniss up in a tree. She's tied herself in with a piece of rope. She looks at Glimmer who has a bow and arrow. Glimmer points her bow at Katniss. I close my eyes, but she misses. Cato tries to climb the tree, but he keeps breaking branches. "Guys, let's make a plan tonight, and finish her off in the morning." I say, and I see Cato smile They all set up camp to spend the night. I look up at Katniss, her eyes glowing in the night sky. She mouths thank-you, and I smile.

Chapter Two

Katniss figured out that there were Tracker Jackers in the tree, because they attacked us. Glimmer was killed, and Katniss took her bow. I yelled at her to run. Now I'm fighting Cato, cut me in several places. All I can think about is Katniss. Last time I saw her she had a few Tracker Jacker stings. Cato cuts a huge gash in my leg, and I start to run as fast as I can.

I run beside a river, and dive into the mud. I use it to cover my whole body. I close my eyes and my mouth, and don't talk. I fall asleep, and wake up a few hours later to Claudius Templesmith's voice.

"If the tributes from the same district stay alive, they will both be crowned victor." He booms. I start to smile, but then remember where I am. I can't smile, or someone might see me, and kill me. I stay there, and I watch around for everyone. I look at all the trees. I glance over at the river, and see a katniss flower. It reminds me of Katniss. I wan't to cry, but I can't. I wonder if she is looking for me? Maybe she's only yards away-

"Peeta?" She calls softly. She nearly steps on my stomach.

"Here to finish me off?" I ask her, scarcastically. Surprisingly, she just looks around, to see if anyone's around us.

"Peeta, where are you?" She asks me. She looks so pretty with her confused eyes, and her messy braid.

"In the mud, Katniss." I tell her. She kneals down, and feels around for me. She can't find me so I smile.

"There you are!" She says, and smiles. She pulls me up out of the mud, and kisses my forehead. "I thought I'd never see you again!" She says. She pulls me into a big kiss. I feel warmth in my chest. When she lets me go, I start to tell her about Cato.

"Katniss, Cato cut my leg." I tell her, and she starts to roll up my pants.
