Summary: Katniss finds that Rue was pointing to a bees hive, possibly a Tracker bee hive, who if you mess they will literally track you down and to give you a very deadly sting. It is getting close to morning so it is now or never for Katniss to knock the bees nest on the ground next to Peeta and the Careers. Katniss starts to cut at the branch that the hive is on and almost has it cut through when the some bees come out, and sting Katniss three times before she successfully cuts the branch off. However, her plan works for the bees think that Peeta and his gang were the ones who knocked their nest down, and the bees wake them up with their deadly stings. Most run off, but two girls are left behind with the bees and they soon die. One in particular was the girl with the nice bow and arrows, so before the hover craft picks up Glimmer, Katniss goes over to her and snatches the bow and arrow. Peeta comes back and warns Katniss that Cato, one of the Careers, was coming to kill them, so they both run, but not for long. Katniss is very drowsy from the stings and reaches the point where she starts hallucinating. Luckly, Cato goes after Peeta because Katniss soon passes out and crashes to the ground with a horrid nightmare about bugs that are taking over her body. The last thing she thinks of before collapsing is, “Peeta Mellark just saved my life.”

Summary: Katniss quickly scurries out of her tree and runs for her life away from the fire. While Katniss is running, she thinks about if the fire gaining on her was a forest fire, or if it was set of on purpose to make the Games more interesting? Anyway, the smoke catches up with Katniss and she starts coughing, and eventually vomiting. The wall of fire soon starts launching fire balls which almost hit Katniss. However, soon it is over, but Katniss is in a lot of pain from the many burn marks she has all over her body. She soon finds a pool of water and bathes in it for quite a while to ease the pain. All of a sudden, Katniss hears footsteps so she runs to the closest tree and climbs up. It turns out that it was Peeta and the Careers coming to basically kill Katniss. They were unable to though, for they couldn’t climb up the tree so Katniss was spared (for now at least). Night comes and Katniss sets up camp in the tree for the night when she sees eyes. It turns out that these were the eyes of another competitor, Rue, who was there the whole time watching Katniss escape from Peeta and the Careers!

Summary: Katniss over hears Peeta and the “Careers”, competitors from the higher districts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), talking to each other almost right underneath the tree Katniss is staying in. Peeta goes to see if the girl he was talking about before is dead. While he is gone the other competitors talk about how long they should keep Peeta in their Wolf Pack. Anyway, the competitors move on and by morning Katniss is back on the ground, walking in the opposite direction than the Careers are to find water. Katniss walks and walks to the Point where she is so dehydrated that she is shacking and stumbling. Katniss says, “Water” in a loud voice, hoping that Haymitch would hear her and water would drop from the sky. Unfortunately this doesn’t happen for Katniss. Katniss tries to stay positive and reasons that Haymitch didn’t give her water because she was getting very close to a source of water. Katniss pulls her self together and walks stiffly to where she truly can’t walk anymore. She sits down and realizes that she is in mud, which means there is water very close. It turns out that there was a pond, so Katniss runs over and takes a gigantic mouthful of water. Katniss almost instantly feels better, so she makes up camp for the night, making sure that she keeps on drinking water.

Summary:  The Hunger Games begin and Katniss races for a supply bag, when she almost encounters her death from a knife thrown by one of the other competitors. Luckily the knife hit a different competitor and Katniss was saved.  Katniss decides to run as far away as she could from everybody else, so she runs all day to a place she believes is remote from everyone else. Katniss runs until it is almost night time, when she sets up her bed in a tree. Katniss tries to get a good night’s sleep for she hasn’t gotten one in two days, and she dozes off.  However, a few hours later, Katniss is awoken by a fire and was so scared that she almost fell out of the tree. This was not a forest fire, but rather one of the other competitor’s camps that was set up only about 400 yards away. Katniss stays as quiet as possible when she realizes it is more than one competitor that was talking, rather it was a group of 4 competitors talking. They had made an alliance and were talking about Katniss! They were talking about how they were almost certain that she was dead. One competitor in particular was saying how he saw her get hit with a knife, which wasn’t true, and that Katniss realized that the voice belonged to Peeta!

Summary: Katniss goes down to breakfast before heading over to the Training Center with Peeta. While there, Katniss and Peeta are interviewed by the trainers. The first question that the trainers asked was, “Do you want to train individually, or together?” Katniss and Peeta immediately said, “Together”, but when it came to giving information about each other, they both got very defensive and realized they should have given the question more thought. Anyway, after the interview, Katniss and Peeta had their first training session. The training sessions are many stations with different weapons and techniques that can be used during the Hunger Games. After a few days of training, the contestants have an individual training session. However, Katniss’s session doesn’t go as planned because when she shows the trainers her skill level half of them were not even paying attention. To get their attention Katniss decides to shoot an arrow at the judges table, which gave Katniss everybody’s attention, and then she just simply turned around and started to walk out of the room.
