Summary: Katniss and Peeta decide to portion up the food given to them by Haymitch, and only have a tiny amount, even though they could devour the whole meal in a matter of minutes. After their meal, they watch the anthem and are very surprised to see that Thresh has been killed. It takes Kantiss a while to overcome her emotions, for Thresh is the competitor who spared her life during the feast. Anyway, after a nights rest, the rain has vanished, so Katniss decides this would be the perfect time to go hunting. However, it is also a very dangerous time to go hunting, for Cato, Thresh’s partner, is now by himself, and is probably on the hunt for the rest of the competitors. This doesn’t stop Katniss and Peeta for they are already on their way to the old spot where Katniss used to hunt with Rue. They split up when they reach the area, leaving Katniss can go get some meat, and Peeta to gather some berries. After Katniss catches a couple of animals, she returns to where they had split up, and finds Peeta missing, and some of their food gone. Peeta ends up just being behind a tree, but he says that he didn’t eat any of the food. Next thing they know, the cannon goes off and they find one of the remaining four competitors, Foxface, dead on the ground only a hundred yards away. In fear of Cato being the cause of her death, Katniss and Peeta scurry up into a tree. However, Katniss soon realizes that Foxface had taken the food, meaning that the berries Peeta had been collecting had been toxic.
