The Hunger Games p.226-245

               Katniss slowly, but surely, nurses Peeta back to health. Not full health, but healthy enough so he can run and use a knife. Peeta must still wear his tournaquete, for they fear he may start bleeding again. Katniss and Peeta know the Capitol will plan something soon, they just aren't sure what. Soon enough, they find out. They are going to have a "feast" at the Cornucopia. At the Cornucopia at precisly 12 o' clock, there will be a brown bag containing what each competitor needs most. The bags would be gone at 1 o' clock sharp. Peeta needs more medicine, and Katniss is running out of arrows. Peeta begs her not to go, so she tells him she wont. Katniss has a plan though, in order to keep Peeta from knowing. She is going to crush one of the sleeping pills, and rub the powder on the remaining berries. She then, willingly, gives them to Peeta, saying he deserves them. Peeta takes them greatfully, but it is too late before he notices what she had done. Peeta tells her to go when he finally falls asleep, and be back when he wakes. Katniss is almost positive that she wont. She does, however, make it to the Cornucopia alive, at 11:55. There is nothing there yet. At percisly 12:00, Katniss sees Foxface come out of the bushes, take her bag, and run back. There was something about Foxface that was mistirious, like you could forget she was even in the arena. Katniss doesn't want to be the first one out, because she knows she will get shot. Cato is the first one to come out. Katniss steps out at the same time. Cato is on her right away, and before she knows it, she is laying on the ground with a knife at her throat. Cato was just about to kill her when a sudden force hit Cato, not fataly, in the head. She sees Thrash, the other competator from District 8 (other than Rue). He tells her it will not be happening again, grabs his bag and runs. Katniss does the same with hers and Peeta's.        She runs and runs, until she can run no more. She turns around and sees Cato in the distance, looking for Thrash. Cato doesn't care about her anymore, his only pray right now is Thrash. Katniss feels awful. She knows that Thrash will be dead soon, and it is all her fault. She wishes she could have just died right there and then. Cato had a knife to her throat, why didn't she die? She is alive because the people in District 8 care about others more than themselves. For that, Katniss is extremely greatful. She then runs to Peeta, for she knows she is late
