Peeta's POV
I stare into her beautiful eyes, only one of us emerge from the arena, and it shouldn't be me. Katniss Everdeen deserves to win, she needs to return to her family.
"Katniss shoot me," she looks at me, as if I'm crazy, drops her bow, and shakes her head. "Please Katniss you deserve to win, pick up your bow and shoot me."
"No, Peeta there is no way I will kill you, I'm not leaving this arena without you."
"Well they just announced that only one will come out alive, no matter what, it will be you. You know that they have to have their victor." I watch as Katniss's face lights up,
"No they don't." She pulls the berries out of her coat pocket, divides them, places my half in my hands, and puts her mouth close to my ear. "On three," I nod. "One," I look into her mysterious gray eyes, they seem sad, I know she doesn't want to die, but I also know she wants to make her point. "Two," I gulp and try to look brave even though on the inside I'm terrified. "Three," we pop the berries into our mouth, but a voice stops us from biting down.
"Stop, stop." Katniss looks up at me, and I see the hope sparkle in her eyes. I only have a second to think, but I ultimantly think it's the best decision. If we both return the capitol, they will get angry and severly punish us both, I can't watch her go through any more pain. I love her too much. Like I said before, Katniss has to win, even if that means that I have to die in the process. I take a deep breeth and look at Katniss for the last time. I bit down on the poisonous berries, and swallow the sweet juice that they enclose." I hear the annoucer as he starts to tell us that we won, but stops as I fall to the ground, and the cannon booms signifying my death.
A/N Sorry I know it's short but I liked this ending more than having Katniss's reaction. Please check out my other stories, and please review! Thnx :)
