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.
