Everything has now exploded, and Katniss' plan is successful. Katniss goes back to the meeting place she and Rue would have been, but Rue is trapped in some sort of a trap. Rue is screaming for Katniss to come help, and Katniss comes on time. She cuts open the trap, and sets Rue free. Rue gives Katniss a hug, when suddenly, a boy comes armed with a spear, and Katniss shoots an arrow at him, killing him on the spot. When she looks back at Rue, she is too late. Rue is dying.
Katniss was crying, and was really upset for the death of Rue. Rue pleads Katniss to win, and not leave her alone. Katniss nods yes, and Rue asks her to sing. She then sings the song she always sang to Prim when she was upset. After Katniss finished singing the song, the cannon fired for Rue's death, and Katniss is teary. Katniss feel she shouldn't just leave her like this, and finds many beautiful flowers, and decorates Rue with them. Then, she puts her first two fingers on her left hand to make a circle, and then puts the other three fingers on her mouth, and puts it up in the air, as if to say, 'I love you Rue. Rest in peace.' Then, after the hovercraft took Rue away, Katniss moved on to another place. A Game-maker then announced that two of the same district could win the games. Hearing this, Katniss yells Peeta's name.
Katniss is searching for Peeta, and cannot find him. She then uses her logic, and realizes Peeta can't live without water. Katniss then runs to the river, and finds Peeta, disguised on the floor, covered in mud. Katniss cleans Peeta off, and tells him to jump in the river to bathe himself. After Peeta comes out of the river, Katniss feels his hot skin, and knows he has a fever. She won't let Peeta die, and is determined that they will win the games together. 

     Katniss has met Rue, and she wants her more than ever to win and go back to her family in 11. When she and Rue talk, Rue tells her about things that happen in District 11, and Katniss tells her everything about District 12. They bond for a little while, when Katniss sees she is cold, and gives her something warm to have on. Then, Katniss goes out to find some wood here and there, and she starts a fire, and than cooks food for Rue and her to eat. They continues talking about their districts while eating, when Rue tells her that she has been watching the Careers and other tributes, and Katniss gives Rue more food, and she starts asking questions.
     Katniss asks Rue how many supplies the Careers have, even though that some of them died from the tracker jacker attack. Rue tells her that they have an entire big piece of territory where all their supplies are located. Katniss and Rue devise som sort of plan, and they are ready to start the next day. Katniss hides behind a tree, and Rue starts a fire somewhere else, attracting the Careers to leave their site. Once they left, the Foxface girl comes up, and she very carefully gets through there, but falls down, and screams, but nothing happened. 
     Suddenly, Katniss realized it. They had some sort of trap to kill people. Katniss looked around, and found out there were mines underneath there. She looks at something there, and sees a bag of apples. She takes a couple arrows, and shoots it, and hits the bag straight on. Everything explodes.

     Katniss is now on the run in the games, and a girl with a knife is coming over to throw it at her. Katniss jumps in a tree, and barely misses the knife to hit her. She picked it up, put it in the backpack she had picked up when the gong sounded in the arena. She is running around, looking in desperate need for water, when fireballs shoot out from different places to hit her, and her only, since she was known as 'the girl on fire.' Katniss thought that the Game-makers were laughing in their rooms, just clicking and dragging things that could end peoples' lives in one minute. Katniss felt something burning on her leg. It was fire.
     She is rololing downhill to get the fire off her leg, to keep herself safe and free. Finally, she does, but leg is aching terribly. She is looking in need of sponsors, to help save her leg from being in danger of letting her die, but nothing came. Katniss layed down in the grass, and felt mud, and mud means water. Katniss was near a river, and she ran towards it, and filled up a canteen of water, and she purified it with the iodine she found in the backpack. Katniss was really happy, that she took a short bath, and put on her damp clothes once again. She then found camp in a tree, and finally got the courage to look at her leg. It was red, and burning, just looking at it. Katniss was in great pain, and when she looked up, she saw a silver parachute sent down from a sponsor!
     Katniss was thankful, and quickly looked at what was in the parachute, which was burn medicine for her leg. As she put on the medicine, she felt relief, when she heard something in the tree. It was little Rue from District 11. She and Rue threw deadly tracker-jackers on the strong Career tributes, and many died, in which Katniss got a bow and arrows. 12-year-old Rue saw that Katniss was in pain, and she found special leaves, since she was from the agricultural district, chewed them, and rubbed it on Katniss' leg, hands, and face, to heal her. Katniss really wanted Rue as her ally in the games, and Rue agreed. Katniss was really happy, and she planned and hoped that is she lost in the games, she would want Rue to win.
