Okay this is my first chapter! please review like I always say. This will be in Rue's POV. I just love Rue! *Sigh* Why did she have to die. I own nothing (I am supposed to say that apparently.)

~Girl On Fire~

I'm just walking. I'm following Katniss's orders like she told me. It's not hard to follow orders especially since in here it means life or death.

God I hate this arena! I just want everyone to know that. Why do they punish us for something we didn't do?

I hear a branch snap and it brings me back to reality. I freeze for a moment but, in an instant I'm up the nearest tree.

I wait there as quiet as possible for at least three minutes before a rabbit hops out of the bush under the tree.

"Wow good job Rue." I whisper to myself. I glide through the air to the next tree, feeling like a bird in the breeze.

I land on a branch and look around. Since I see nothing I jump down onto the ground. I slink over to the fire that Katniss set up.

I grab the rock that she placed near it and hit it with the rock in my hand. A spark flies out but nothing catches.

I hit it a few more times before I hear rustling. I freeze and then panic. I start hit the rocks together quicker and quicker.

When the wood finally catches fire I sprint up the nearest tree as fast as possible. The rustling continues for a moment.

It stops and I let out a sigh of relief. A wait a minute before leaving because I know the Careers will be coming.

I run on the ground this time. I keep gaining speed and making no sound. "Oh no" I whisper to myself.

In the distance I see another person. I'm pretty sure that's not Katniss, I think to myself. I run up a tree and start hopping from tree to tree making as little sound as possible.

I wait in one tree for a while. "The next fire is a little bit away. Maybe I can make it if I go quickly." I whisper to myself.

I try to decide whether to go on foot or through the trees. I decide to go half and half. I go a few trees and then I'm walking again.

I decide to give the birds the secret tune to carry to Katniss. I whistle my four note tune and the birds pick it up quickly.

I hear noises but think nothing of them. Stupid animals keep scaring me, I think to myself. All of a sudden I'm on the ground. In a net.

I'm struggling to get out but it won't work. "Katniss!" I scream through the rope. I wait a second. "Katniss!" I scream again.

I keep calling and I faintly hear Katniss responding. I see her not to far away. But then I see a boy on the other side of me.

Oh god please don't let this be the end. "Katniss" I manage to whimper sticking my hand through the net a little.

She seems relieved, she shouldn't be. It is the end. A spear enters my abdomen and I let out a small noise.

"No!" I hear Katniss scream. I begin to cry and whimper because well I have a spear in me, it kinda hurts. Katniss runs around the side of me.

"Are there more, Rue are there more!" she yells. "No..no." I have to whine a few times before she hears.

She drops her bow and cuts open the net. I clutch the spear to my stomach as if it were some sort of valuable. Yeah right.

I start to cry and Katniss puts my head in her lap. "You blew up the food?" I mumble blood dripping off of me.

"Every last bit." she reassures me. "You have to win Katniss." I tell her moving uncomfortably and spitting up a little blood.

Everything about that was true. If she doesn't win then this will just be like every other and sick right down to the point.

"I promise you I will win for the both of us." She says. I can tell she's fighting back some tears.

I hear a cannon fire and Katniss looks around. I grab her hand and she comforts me. I ask her to sing.

I love singing and when I die I want that to be the last thing that's fresh in my mind. She starts to sing a beautiful song and my eyes flutter shut.

I think of everything. My family, I'll miss you when I'm in heaven. My friends, I hope you loved me as much as I loved you guys.

My home, I will miss that sacred place so much. I just want to cherish this moment, even though I'm in a horrid place.

At least I'm with my friend. I will miss you Katniss. This will be my last thought. Goodbye.

My hand moves off my body and I leave. But up in heaven I am watching everything that Katniss does. I just wish I could thank her.
