Summary: Katniss and Peeta have just won the Hunger Games! Luckily, none of them swallowed any of the berries yet, because if they were too, they would have been dead by now. The hovercraft comes to get them and they are taken out of the horrid habitat that has been their home for the past couple of weeks, and are on their way to the luxurious Capital, where the celebration will be held. However, Katniss and Peeta are immediately knocked out, and separated so that they can undergo procedures to cure all of their health problems that were caused by the Hunger Games. When Katniss awakes, she is in a hospital bed located in a room with no visible windows or doors. She tries to get up to get out of the room and look for Peeta, but when she tries to get up; she is injected with some medicine that knocks her out once again. However, next time she awakes, an “Avox girl” walkes in with a meal for Katniss, and then just simply leaves. This routine of getting knocked out, waking up, eating, and then getting knocked out once again goes on for the next few days until Katniss finally pulls together the strength to get out of her room and go look for Peeta. Katniss is unsuccessful, and is taken by Effie, Haymitch, and Cinna to go prepare herself for the ceremony. When Cinna shows Katniss herself in her dress, Katniss just sees how much the Hunger Games have taken a toll on her. She is as thin as a twig, and has lost all of the aspects that made her believe she was beautiful before. After, Katniss is taken to the ceremony, and is given good luck hugs and kisses from her team before, “The most dangerous part of the Hunger Games begins.”
