They say it's wrong to love someone like him but how would they know, I could say the same about their relationships which I'm sure cannot even attempt at comparing to the one that him and I have but I guess that's the way it is. They say he's a monster, ruthless and will kill me the second I do something wrong but I just laugh because I know better, they don't know the way he looks at me or the way he loves me or holds me. They don't know how much I love Cato….

It all started when I volunteered for my little sister prim in 74th annual hunger games, having trained hard and out smarted all my competitors I am now one of the remaining 6 tributes. It's just me, peeta, Cato, thresh, rue and clove in this huge death trap but I know I will win no matter what, for prim.

Anyway today was just another cold and paranoia filled day in the arena as I woke up and slipped down from my night perch in a tall oak tree, my bag ready and eyes wary for any company. Settled that I was alone, I got started on catching some breakfast with my bow and arrows slung over my shoulder, I quietly roamed through the woods pulling a nice haul of 3 squirrels and 2 water foul along with some roots and veggies which satisfied my grumbling stomach temporarily. With my mind set straight, I planned my day around finding rue and peeta then destroying those stupid careers food supply.

I had really no idea where to find either of them so I started with the easiest, peeta. I trudged down to the river to see if he was hiding away there and with extreme dumb luck I found him brilliantly camouflaged into the mud which was a pleasant surprise for someone as lonely as me, it's weird what two weeks of no human contact (other than violence) can do to a person.

"peeta" I shrieked as I embraced him (sadly feeling how weak he was) "your alive!' he buried his face into my neck 'I knew you would be' he whispered and I almost cried, after a few minutes of just enjoying each other's touch, he pulled back ' what's the plan, were going to get killed if we just stand here' I nodded in agreement while I mulled over what the best course of action would be finally deciding that it would be to move up towards the forest, that's where rue would most likely be 'forest' he nodded slowly and followed me, trying to be silent but I swear on Effie's pink wig that it sounded as if the tribute cannons were going off with every step he took which I couldn't really blame him for because not everyone has my grace from years of hunting 'peeta could you try to be a little more quiet, please' I tried to make it sound nice but by the sad look in his beautiful blue eyes that he took it the wrong way but he did lighten up a little although I still bet he others could hear us from a mile away.

By now we were surrounded by big lush trees and I was able to let out a little sigh of relief before I went to work looking for the little birdy known as rue. 'Rue' I called out quietly while whistling to try and attract her attention but failed hopelessly so I went for the smarter route and just stood still listening for any rustling in the trees or any sound that would signal her presence 'katniss what are you doing' peetas timid voice broke through the quiet and I just held a hand up hoping he would take this as a silent shut up which thankfully he did and I was able to get back to listening. A few minutes later I heard it, a slight shake of a branch and a little squeak that wasn't from any animal 'rue' silence' rue it's okay were not here to hurt you' there was another brief silence and then a little swish and a thump as someone landed on the ground, I spun around and saw her standing there timidly 'you're not?'. For the first time today I smiled because now I have an alliance.
