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.
