Chapter 1

5-4-3-2-1 GONG!

The sound went and 16 year old Katniss Everdeen of District 12 took off. She ran as fast in the direction of the silver bow and arrows. Once she got there, she grabbed the weapon and shot an arrow in the direction of the boy from District 8. The arrow hit it's target perfectly, it was shot straight through the boy's neck. Blood spurt out of his mouth as he fell down to the ground. Katniss ran over to the boy's body and picked up his backpack. Katniss slugged the bag over her shoulder and grabbed the huge metallic sword from his hands.

"Ahhh!" A girl shouted.

Katniss turned around and she saw Glimmer, the girl from District 1, towering over Rue, the little tribute from District 11. Something inside of Katniss made her see red. She shot an arrow at Glimmer and the arrow went straight through her neck, just as it did to the boy from 8. "RUN! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!" Katniss shouted over to Rue. The younger girl nodded the head in response and sprinted in the direction of the forest. Katniss began to run into the direction of the forest and she didn't stop until thought she was deep enough in the woods. Katniss sat down on the ground and opened the backpack. Inside of it was a pack of knives, a water bottle, and a rope. Not bad. Katniss thought. She began to relax, and as soon as she began to get comfortable, Katniss heard laughter, lots and lots of laughter. She packed up her stuff and ran to the nearest tree and climbed it as high as she could.

"What was that noise?" A masculine voice asked. Katniss couldn't recognize the voice, but it didn't sound good.

"I don't know, lets search the area. If you find a tribute, kill them." Another masculine voice asked. Katniss could recognize this voice, it belonged to Cato, the muscular tribute from District 2. Katniss really began to get scared,she knew that he would catch her if she didn't move quickly. Katniss started to swing across the branches and she thought that she was safe, so she fell asleep in the branch, however, she didn't know that the Careers were right on her trail, and were out for blood.

"I caught her! I found Katniss! She's in the tree!" A voice shouted. Katniss woke up to hear the sound of that voice again. Why did that voice sound familiar? It couldn't be...

" Peeta! What are you doing?" Katniss whispered loud enough for him to hear her.

"What does it look like sweetheart? She's over here! Hurry up!" Peeta shouted.

"You bastard! You little bastard! I'm from your own distict, why the hell are you ratting me out?" Katniss shouted at him, forgetting to be quiet.

Peeta was about to respond when three muderous looking tributes appeared from the bushes below. First Clove came,a small but vicious girl from District 2,with an evil smirk and an extremely sharp knife in her hand. Then came the tall boy from District 1, Marvel , with a long spear with a sharp tip at the end. Finally Cato came, with a long sword in his hand, looking up amusedly at Katniss up in the tree. " Being up there won't help you 12!" He shouted up at her. The others laughed up at her and started to shout up snide comments at her like " You're a coward 12!" or " Come on Katniss, come down and fight!"

" Come down here you little slut, come down here and fight." Peeta shouted up at Katniss.

Anger and hurt filled Katniss' body and like before,she saw red. She shot one of her arrows at Peeta's head. Her target must have improved because every arrow she shot, hit her victims perfectly. Peeta fell to the ground and the careers looked up at her in shock. " That's enough! If one of you think that you can kill me that easily, you thought wrong. Why don't one of you come up here and fight like a man if you're so tough." Katniss climbed down from the tree with one of her knives in hand. " Fight me, I just dare one of you!"

Clove responded angrily " You bitch! Do you really think that you can scare us ? Remember where you come from, bitch, you're from the damn slums, weakness is all you've ever known. Why do you think that all of a sudden you can come up to us and say some crappy speech to try to stop us from killing you? You're nothing but a stupid bitch form 12, why don't you just give up and die, like the rest of you're savage-"

Katniss stabbed Clove in the stomach, and turned to the two boys who hadn't said a word this entire time. " Let me make this very clear to you both. If either if you think about coming after me again, i'll make sure you're both very sorry. Understood?" She told them venomously. They both nodded their heads in fear, knowing that if they said or did something wrong, she would actually kill them. Katniss was like a career, except she was from 12. The losing district; the disrict with only one victor in Hunger Games history. How could Katniss Everdeen from District 12 intimidate the two of the most powerful people in the arena?

Then Katniss ran toward the other end of the forest, leaving both boys to try and nurse Clove back to health. Luckily for them, she wasn't dead, just unconsious. Cato just stood there for a moment before asking "What the hell just happened? Did we just get threatned by Everdeen? "

Marvel answered " Yeah, we did. You probaly would have known that if you were paying attention."

" What's that suppossed to mean?"

" It means that next time she's around, don't act stupid and stare at her. Kill her."

" I know!" Cato snapped," It's just, how did she manage to stab Clove, and Clove didn't do anything about it? I mean, you would think she would have killed Everdeen on the spot."

" Yeah, but why didn't you?" Marvel countered.

" You know why." Cato growled.

" Oh yes, you have a crush for Katniss Everdeen." Marvel chuckeled.

" Dude, shut the hell up." Cato said sharply.

" Okay, but don't say you don't, because that would be lying. And we all know how lying is wrong."

"What the hell are you getting at?"

"Don't know." That made both boys laugh hard. Once the finally calmed down, Marvel suggested that they camp for the night, and the two set up a fire and fell asleep on opposite sides of the fire, with their weapons in hand. But it took Cato a little while to fall asleep, because he was thinking about a certain brown haired, grey eyed girl from District 12.
