Katniss’s P.O.V (Just for this chapter)
"Stay Quiet until they pass" Lisa tells me before suddenly pushing me into the bushes quickly followed by Rue, I sit up but when I look back I see no sign of Lisa, I just hear her run into the distance sounding like she's trying to be the most noisiest person who ever lived.

"There I see Seven" I hear Clove say and I see her, Peeta and Cato run past me weapons drawn and looking ready to fight.

"Remember she's mine" Cato warns her as they run after Lisa giving Clove a warning glare in case she tries to steal his kill. I need to do something. They will kill her if they catch her, I can't let that happen, I can't let them kill Lisa. I try to get up to go after them but small arms wrap around me preventing me from moving, Rue is a lot stronger then she looks but right now her strength isn't helping. I need to get going, I need to save Lisa before they kill. But Rue has other ideas.

"No don't go" Rue tells me in a quiet voice so the Career's won't hear.

"Let go of me Rue" I snap back as I free myself but Rue is too fast, she quickly rewraps her arms around me.

"No you'll die" Rue says as she tightens her grip. "Please don't go that way"

"Let me go I have to save her" I firmly tell her as I break free once again but this time I start to move before she can get her arms back around me. "She would do the same for me"

"No she won't" Rue tells me but I ignore her, I know she would do the same for me. "You don't know her"

"Yes I do" I say as I continue to walk drawing my bow and readying an arrow. "I know she got that eleven in training from throwing her axe at the Gamemakers, I know that she got into that fight with Cato protecting you and I know that we are a team" I stop and turn back to Rue who's just stood there staring at me. "I know she smiles while she sleeps, her eyes sparkle when she smiles, she loves chocolates and she can warm you with just a smile" I pause as I turn back around and start walking again. "She is braver then anyone I've ever met, she strong, smart, a good fighter and she will always fight no matter how bad the odds are against her" I continue walking hearing Rue's tiny footsteps following behind me. "She fought of a two headed snake saving my life and just lured off the Career's to save us, I'm going after her to save her. I can't leave her to face them alone"

"She chose to sacrifice herself for us" I tighten my grip on my bow hearing those words and picturing… I can't even begin to imagen Lisa dead, it's too painful and makes my heart stop beating to even imagen that. "We should escape while we can. It's what she would have wanted"

"I can't do that" I tell her feeling a tear roll down my check, I don't want to abandon Lisa and see her face in the sky tonight. "I'm going to help her, you can ever come with me or leave"

"I'll help you" Rue replies sounding scared and unsure if this is what she really wants to do.

"Ok stick close to me and stay quiet" I say as we come across a bloody patch and my heart stops, there's a large pool of blood here and I just know it is Lisa's blood. But I didn't hear a cannon, I didn't see her body being lifted out of the Arena and I can't see her anywhere. The only thing I can see is a thin line of Lisa's blood moving away from here. "Come on they went this way"

"Wait" Rue says grabbing my arm stopping me once again.

"What are you doing?" I angry ask her turning back around. "Lisa's hurt bad and need our help"

"The Careers have her" Rue tells me. "They must be taking her to the Cornucopia if we go that way they will spot us before we even get close. We need to go round, if we go this way then we can use the forest to get closer to them"

"Ok" I sigh trusting this feeling in my gut is right telling me to listen to her. "I hope we make it in time”

By the time we arrive at the edge of the forest near the Cornucopia the sun has set and the only light we have is from the moon and the Careers camp fire, they are all there but Peeta and I see Clove and Cato laughing by the fire as Clove uses her knife to cut into the boy from District Three's flesh. The boy doesn't scream, he lets out an awful squeaking sound which must be the only sound he is capable of making. The Career's continue to laugh as the boy makes that terrible noise until they notice something. They both turn their heads to the Cornucopia then turn back to each other and smile, Clove tells Cato something before she walks towards the Cornucopia, I can't hear what she said but it must be "Bring the boy inside" because Cato quickly follows her dragging the boy from District Three with him. I see Clove leaning against the side of the Cornucopia's entrance saying something and I think I know who to. Lisa, they must be keeping Lisa inside the Cornucopia. I turn back to Rue and quietly tell her to follow me, I lead her back into the woods so we can talk without the Career's overhearing.

"Rue I think Lisa is in the Cornucopia" I tell her as we stop deep enough into the woods that the Career's won't hear, even so I still whisperer just in case. "Cato and Clove are the only two there so I know we can do this"

"How can we?" Rue asks still not liking my plan to save Lisa but it's something I must do, something I need to do. "They are strong and got weapons"

"We split them up" I say with a smile as I take my bow off my back. "We make noise in the forest, one of them will come and look well the other keeps watch. I shot the one that comes to look and before the other one knows what's happening I shoot them"

"That's a good plan Sweetheart" I freeze hearing that voice, a voice I haven't heard since the last dinner I ate before going into the Area. I turn around and come face to face with Peeta's blue eyes a few meters away from my own, only now his eyes are cold nothing like the warm blue eyes I remember from before the games began. "Only" He takes the step towards me revealing that he's holding an axe, the axe Lisa was using. "I can't let you save that bitch Sweetheart, she will only get between us"

"So you are going to kill me?" I asks which makes him smirk. "And leave her to die, die a most likely slow and painful death" He smiles at the mention of Lisa's death. "Why Peeta? That's not like you so why will you do it?"

"Because I saw you two on the roof" Peeta answers as he stops laughing. "I saw you two laughing about the privet training session with the Gamemakers, telling her how you pushed me over cutting my hands on that vase and then teaming up behind my back" He takes another step towards me and my eyes catches the blade of Lisa's axe in his hand glinting in the moon light. "We are meant to be together. We are meant to be working together. We are meant to be a team. Not her. Not that bitch you teamed up with instead" He takes another step forward and the smile on his face disappears replaced by anger. "You two planed it didn't you?" He stays silent for a while and I think he wants an answer but my silence only makes him even angrier. "Didn't you?!"

"No we never" I reply surprising myself at how straight my voice is after Peeta shouted that with his voice full of hate and eyes blazing with anger, I'm surprised I'm still standing my ground despite Peeta furious and closing in on me. "We never planned it I did on impulse"

"Lier!" Peeta screams at me and I feel myself shaking upon hearing his voice witch is so powerful and hate filed. "You and that that bitch planed it! You two planed on hurting me so I would be weakened for the games! So I would be an easy kill. But your little plan didn't work out did?"

"There was…" I try to tell him but his powerful angry voice cuts me off.

"Your plan failed the moment I recovered, the moment I joined the Career pack and starting hunting you two instead of being your weak little pray" Peeta continues taking another step towards me so now we are face to face, he leans down so our eyes are level and our noises are nearly touching. "We caught Seven and soon she will get what she deserves and now I have you" he looks behind me and I know he's looking at Rue. "As soon as that little brat is gone" I am about to say something, try and stop him but Peeta speaks first. "Stay here Sweetheart this won't take long" Peeta gentle says as he walks by me and I can't how his voice can change so quickly, a moment ago it was powerful and hate filled and now it's sweet and gentle like the Peeta I knew before the games began. "Come here little R…"

"Rue run!" I scream as I jump on Peeta's back, I can't let him hurt Rue, I can't let anyone hurt someone as small, weak, innocent and lovely as Rue. I don't know what I was trying to achieve as I jump on Peeta's back because he's so strong and big but I must do something, I cover his eyes hopping this little thing I am doing will give Rue the time she needs to escape. "Get out of here!"

I knew I would never be able to hold Peeta at bay for long, he came second in our schools wrestling tournament and I am nowhere near as strong as he is. He just simple falls backwards and I land on the ground feeling a pain shoot through my back, then he lands on top of me and the wind is knocked from my lungs. I just lay there gasping for air as Peeta stands up and looks down at me with disgust and anger clear in his eyes, He shakes his head as I stare up at him.

"Don't try and stop me" He warns as he walks off. "That way I might make your death quick" I hear him walk off and call out. "There you are" I hear Peeta say quickly followed by Rue's scream. "Come here you little brat"

"Let me go!" Rue screams at him and I fill my blood boil as I sit up and wonder, how could the kind gentle Peeta I know turn into such a cold hearted hate filled man willing to hurt an innocent beautiful kid like Rue.

"Not going to happen" Peeta replies as I grab my bow and start feeling around for an arrow. "Don't worry it will be over soon"

"No don't plea…" Rue begs but her pleas are cut short and are replaced by a loud gasp. Where are my arrows? I can't find them anywhere where are they? Ah finally I find one and quickly get to my feet loading my arrow as I go. I look to see Peeta pulling the axe out of Rue's chest and I can see Rue's heart cut in half inside off her chest, with my mouther and sister being healers and myself a skilled hunter I am used to blood but the sight off Rue's open chest still makes me feel sick.

"Kat…" I don't give Peeta time to beg for his life as I let my arrow fly and I don't feel any regret as I watch my arrow entre his skull right between his eyes, I don't feel anything, not sorrow for poor dead little Rue or Peeta as I watch his body hit the ground.

All I feel is numbness as I stare at the two bodies and the cannon sounds for both off them, I feel like a robot as I move picking up Lisa's axe and my scattered arrows and then start to walk away allowing the Gamemakers to collect the bodies. I barely am aware of everything around me as I walk away, I could be walking straight for Cato's sword or Clove's flying knifes and not even realise it. I only know two things, where I am heading and what I am going to do. I am heading to the Cornucopia and I am going to save Lisa before the Career's hurt and kill her. I just hope I make it in time, I can't loss anyone else today. I just walk in a straight line towards the Cornucopia and if it would have hit me I would have missed it, a white parachute lands on my face blinding me. I just simply shrug off the parachute and grab the small cylinder attached to it, it's easy enough to hold as it fits right into the palm of my hand. I open it up and see a note from Haymitch first and a small egged shaped metal object with a button on top, I am tempted to press the button but I decide it's better to read the note first.

Sweetheart use this to save your girl to use it follow this step by step guide.

1)Press button

2)Throw towards your opponent

3)Cover your eyes

4)After you hear the bang uncover your eyes

Good luck Sweetheart you will have thirty seconds after you hear the bang make it count.

PS

Use those glasses they will help.

I smile feeling for once the odds are in my favour, Haymitch has given me the edge I need so now with confidence I move towards the Career's with a plan in mind making sure the metal egg is tucked safely in my pocket. I then decide to do as Haymitch suggested and try the glasses on, I take the out from my bag and look them over, which is a struggle because of the darkness of the light. They look just like sun glasses and I can't see how they would help but I haven't tried them on yet and Haymitch says they will help, he hasn't given me bad advice yet so if he's sober I believe these glasses will help me. I put them on then stop as I rip them off, it was strange wearing them, they turned night into day something I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't have tried these glasses on. I try them on again and again until I'm sure they are really doing what they are doing, once I'm used to them I start moving again this time looking at the nocturnal forest as if it was day. I reach the spot where Rue and I stared at the Cornucopia at the edge of the woods at look, I watch both Career's stare into the Cornucopia as Cato beheads the boy from District Three with one swing of his sword causing blood to go everywhere. Then I see Clove taunt someone must likely Lisa inside the Cornucopia then as Rue's and Peeta's faces appear in the sky both Cato and Clove laugh again. I know what I must do, what I am going to do but now I need to wait for an opportunity to strike. I get my moment seconds later as a furious Thresh, the giant from District Eleven and Rue's District partner storming onto the grassy plains around the Cornucopia.

"You killed her!" He shout even angrier then Peeta was. "You killed that little girl! You killed Rue"

Cato and Clove seem shocked to see him as Thresh charges towards him but they are quick to recover and Cato draws his already bloodied sword, he moves to meet Thresh stopping Clove from killing him with one of her knifes. This is what I was hoping for, more then I was hoping for and I waste now time quietly moving towards Clove as I take the metal egg from my pocket. I make it close to Clove before she spots me, I am only a ten meters away when she sees me. Her face shows me she was surprised as her eyes widen with alarm and she fumbles with her knifes, I don't fumble with my metal egg. I press the button and throw it at Clove Shielding my eyes as soon as the cold metal egg leaves my hand, seconds later a loud bang which makes my ears rings hits me an when I uncover my eyes I like what I see, I see Clove on her knees holding her eyes. I run into the Cornucopia knowing the thirty seconds given to me by the metal egg is ticking away, inside covered in blood I find her, I find Lisa bound but she smiles when she sees me.

"What took you so long?" She asks as I smile back. "While are you going to just stand there smiling at me or are you going to untie me"

"Are you ok?" I ask as I use her axe to cut her ankles free.

"I'm fine" Lisa replies as I cut her hands free, she rubs her wrists as she stands up. "A bit sore but I'll live"

"Not for long" We turn to see Clove stood in the doorway to the Cornucopia with a knife in both her hands. "I will kill you two and not painlessly and quick after you nearly blinded me"

"Take this" I say handing Lisa her axe back before I whisperer the next part. "Buy me time to ready an arrow"

"Got it" Lisa says as she rushes Clove catching her by surprise, Lisa swings her axe and nearly takes Cloves head off who only saved herself by ducking at the last moment.

Clove is quick to recover slicing her knifes throw the air aiming for Lisa's stomach, thankfully Lisa rolls out of the way dodging the blades. I ready my arrow as Lisa attacks again only this time she's closer and her axe cuts sever strands of hair from Clove's head but Clove moves fast, She knees Lisa in the stomach then swipes the back of her legs sending Lisa crashing down to the floor. Clove readies her knife, readies them to stab down into Lisa but she's forgot about me. I fire an arrow straight towards Clove and it goes straight through her neck, Clove falls to the ground gasping for air as her face turns blue. Lisa gets up and before I know it she's got my wrist and is starting to lead me out of the Cornucopia and towards the forest making my heart skip a beat. Outside Cato and Thresh are still fighting each other unware of us or Cloves death, not even when the cannon fires signalling Clove's death do they stop fighting, Clove's picture fills the sky as we continue to head for the woods.

"Shouldn't we stay and kill Cato while we have a chance?" I ask as we reach the edge off the wood.

"No" Lisa replies taking me into the woods. "We need to get out of here and recover" Lisa tells me as we walk. "Hopefully those two will kill each other"

Just as Lisa says it a cannon fires and Thresh's face appears in the sky, he is hopefully the last to fill the sky tonight. Tonight has been filled with death and never before I don't think there has been a bloodier night in the games, but the death doesn't make me feel sad, it makes me feel a strong pain in my chest. There are only four of us left alive, how long can Lisa and I continue being a team? That question is the cause of my pain, I don't want to be separated from Lisa again.
