Disclaimer: I don't own the sisters grimm or the hunger games.
I'm sorry for the delay, but I warn you that I will be updating We Are One much more often than this.
"Hey Grimm!" Puck called as he skidded to a stop. He grabbed my arm to stop me.
"What?" I breathed heavily. We'd lost the swarm of bees a while ago, but we kept running just in case.
"There's a guy there." He pointed out. As if on cue, the boy turned around. He had been crouching at the foot of a tree. His hair was a bit paler than mine and Puck's white his eyes were a shocking blue. He wasn't strong built, but at the same time he wasn't exactly scrawny.
"Who are you two?" He asked cautiously as he stood.
"We should be the ones to ask you." Puck retorted.
"I am Peeta Mellark. District 12." He declared.
"What's a District?" Puck demanded, but only gained a strange stare.
"Where are we?" I questioned, but the Peeta boy only turned his stare to me. "Where are we!" I asked again, but this time I was annoyed.
"We're in the arena. The 74th Hunger Games." He stated simply, stepping closer in confusion.
"The hunger what?" Puck looked at me for an explanation, but I just shrugged. We were confused enough already, this boy only made it worse. He acted as if everything that was happening were just as scary to him as to us, except for him he actually knew what was going on.
"Shhh, we can't have the other tributes finding us! The Careers are coming back soon." He eyed the trees as if there were people hiding within the foliage.
"What are you looking at?" I shouted.
"Shhhh!" he took me in his arms and covered my mouth. This, I was not okay with. My fist connected with his stomach and he hunched over with a "umph!" He fell to the ground trying to catch his breath and I kicked his shins.
"Now you're going to-"I was cut off by a dagger flying past my head, missing me by mere inches. It dug into the tree behind me.
"Hey, Lover boy! Who's your new girlfriend? What? The fire girl not good enough anymore?" a girl teased. She looked like the girl I would hate immediately, and I did.
"They came to join us." Peeta lied. His lie was so fluent that I almost believed him, but I knew it wasn't true and my instincts told me that this was a boy I had to keep my eyes on.
"Those are the kids that landed in the arena before the gong!" a boy accused. He was the boy from before who had pointed us out first. I glared at them as four more kids came up behind them.
"No, we didn't." I seethed. Who was this Peeta kid to make up stories for them? How did we know he wasn't trying to kill them? We didn't.
"What?" One of the four newcomers asked. I ignored all of them and dragged Puck with me into the forest. I wasn't going to get involved with those people, they weren't people I could trust not to stab me while my back was turned.
"Where are we going, Grimm?" Puck ran beside me as we made our way through the forest.
"We have to find somebody else who can explain this so called Hung-" I skidded to a halt. There had been a motion in the trees. The thick greenery would cover up almost anything.
"I'm hungry!" Puck groaned, clutching his tummy. I rolled my eyes and squinted into the trees. There sat a girl with braided black hair and an orange back pack. She was setting up a sleeping bag on a high branch.
"Fairy boy, do see that girl up there?" I pointed up at her to make sure she was actually there.
"Yep! Why? Does she have food?" Puck raised his eyebrows,, but I just rolled my eyes.
"How should I know? We need to know where we are though, and she might know." I looked back up at the girl to find she was staring straight back at us.

"What's this? Two new tributes have been thrown into the Arena!" Caesar narrated to the crowd. He'd been ordered to take care of this and tell the capitol a story they'd believe. Te order had come from president Snow, himself. "You see, the game makers have decided that the year before the 75th hunger games is a year to commemorate! They combined all the papers from each and every reaping bowl and plucked one lucky girl and one lucky boy. This year, we have 26 tributes!" he cheered. The crowd roared in excitement. They'd believed the story, now it was all up to the tributes.
"Now, my friends, why don't we all check up on our all favorite star crossed couple?" The huge screen changed from the capitol symbol to a scene of the new tribute girl punching and kicking Peeta Mellark. There were cries and gasp throughout the crowd. Everybody was absolutely shocked at what the small blonde girl had been doing to the sweet Lover boy from district 12. "Oh my" Caesar gasped. They watched the scenes unfold, being entertained by the cruelty of the Hunger Games.
