Summary: Katniss finishes making a wall in front of the cave to help camouflage Peeta from the rest of the competitors while she goes to the feast to get supplies. Katniss arrives right before dawn and is surprised that none of the competitor’s bags, containing vital supplies, have been taken yet. Katniss decides to wait to run and take her bag from the open for a little while until the sun starts to rise. This was a bad idea. When Katniss decides to go run into the open to get her bag, he is chased by two knives - one that missed her, and the other that hits her strait the forehead. She is bleeding like crazy and is then tackled to the ground by another competitor and was sure that she will die. However, Katniss is not killed, and is spared for earlier in the game she helped this competitor stay alive. With her heart racing, she runs back to the cave with her bag and gives Peeta the medicine that will cure his fever that she found in her pack. Sure enough Peeta is all better, but now Katniss isn’t feeling well so Peeta is now taking care of her.

Summary: Katniss is making Peeta some broth to help keep him warm from his fever. Katniss didn’t realize just how much work she was going to have to do for Peeta when she first though about joining together. For example, Katniss didn’t get one bit of sleep all night because she had to stay up and watch/ protect Peeta and herself from the remaining competitors. Luckily, Peeta was feeling a little bit better the next day, and was able to stand on duty while Katniss got some well needed rest. When Katniss wakes up she checks on Peeta again and realizes that he is getting blood poisoning, a deadly disease that only one type of medication can cure, and Katniss doesn’t have it. In doubt, Katniss tries to make Peeta as happy as he can be, for he may not be alive much longer. Katniss wants to go off and retrieve some medicine and other supplies back by where they started the Hunger Games to help cure Peeta, but Peeta won’t let her leave his side. Katniss decides to give Peeta some medicine that will knock him out for about a day so that she can go and retrieve the supplies for Peeta since deep down she knows that it is the best thing to do in order to keep Peeta alive. Katniss simply puts the medicine in Peeta’s next meal, and in no time he is out like a light bulb.

Summary: Katniss quickly covers her mouth after yelling out Peeta’s name, but it is too late, for the word has already escaped her lips. There is no answer back, so Katniss goes to look for Peeta. She is looking and looking until she finally thinks that he has to be close to some water source so she goes and checks by the river. It turns out that Peeta was indeed there, and when Katniss asked about them joining forces he agreed with pleaser. However, there is one problem, Peeta is in bad shape. He has cuts, bruises, bits, and burn marks all over his body, and he can’t even stand without help. Katniss wants to get out of where they are, so she brings Peeta down to the river to clean up his wounds with the hope that it will cure him enough to walk. Unfortunately, this doesn’t help Peeta, so Katniss and Peeta are forced to spend the night where they are. Before they go to bed, Katniss and Peeta are talking, and they end up kissing twice!! Just as they are falling to sleep Peeta also gets a package from the sponsors, what a lucky interesting night for Peeta!

Summary: Katniss comes upon Rue and the boy from District 1, and before she can do anything the boy from District 1 dies. Rue isn’t doing so well either, so Katniss stays by her side, and sings a lullaby until Rue also passes. Katniss is a wreck; she is so sad, she doesn’t know what to do without Rue being at her side. She decides to go up into a tree, higher than she has ever gone before, to zone out of the Hunger Games, and recover from the loss of Rue. She tries to sleep, but as she is dozing off, she starts to hear trumpets, and sure enough it is Claudius Templesmith who announces a new rule was being added to the Hunger Games, which very rarely happens. The rule was that if you and your partner from your district are the only two competitors left, you both automatically win the Hunger Games. Before Katniss can stop herself, she yells out Peeta’s name because she wants to team up with him since she doesn’t have Rue, and because she wants to take advantage of the newly added rule.

Summary: Katniss is flung in the air by the minds, and lands stiffly of the ground below. She is very dizzy, and is able to crawl into some shrubs just in the nick of time before Cato and the Careers come running to what used to be there camp looking for anything to rummage. Unfortunately, there is nothing left for the Careers. In rage, Cato kills the lookout, which was the boy from district 3, and almost kills more if the other Careers didn’t hold him back. Anyway, after the Careers leave, Katniss goes to look for Rue, who at this point should be back where they split up. However, Rue isn’t there yet so Katnis waits, and waits until she can’t wait any longer, and goes to look for Rue. Katniss’s hearing is returning because while walking through the woods she hears birds. This wasn’t just any old bird that Katniss was hearing; this was Rues impression of the “Mockingjay”. Katniss is looking around in the trees for Rue, when she hears a scream. The scream is of a girl, which could only be Rue, so Katniss runs over to see what is happening. Katniss comes upon Rue tangled in a big net, and before Katniss can do anything, a spear enters Rues body!

Summary: Katniss and Rue go to bed, when all of a sudden they are woken by the cannon. They think of who could have died at this time, but decide to just wait for the evening to find out. It is close enough to morning that Katniss and Rue decide to start their day early, in hopes to come up with a plan to steal some of the Careers food. Katniss decides that they should split up, and Rue should go make a distraction to get the Careers out of their camp so that Katniss could then sneak down and take their food. Rue decides to make a fire, which successfully gets the Careers away from their camp, and Katniss is left alone in a tree above their camp thinking of the best and sneakiest way to retrieve the food. However, Katniss starts playing mind games with herself about if there are any traps down below to keep other competitors away. Katniss is very cautious, for she has decided to herself that there are mines down below, but time is running out so she has to think quickly about how to get the food before the Careers return. She decides to shoot arrows at the sack of apples, hoping that the sack will rip, and apples will fall to the ground and test whether there are mines or not. Katniss fires three arrows before the apples start to roll out, and as soon as the first apple hits the ground, Katniss is flung out of her tree and into the air!
