This was it. It was now or never.

(Katniss takes out her knife and starts to saw at the branch holding up the nest of the tracker jackers.)

If I don't cut this branch and send the nest down onto the Careers below, my plan would fail, and the tracker jackers would go right after me. Sure, I could survive a couple of stings and deal with the hallucinations, but if I took on the whole swarm, I'd be dead in minutes.

I just know that my plan has to work:

1. Get revenge on Glimmer by killing her

2. Get the bow and arrows

And finally...

3. Ask Rue to become my ally

It's not that I want to die, it's just that I want Rue to win the Games, and even if it means a little more food for my family and Gale's family, the idea of Peeta being crowned victor will be unbearable, considering that I saw him kiss Glimmer! Euggh! But after this, she won't be kissing anyone anymore!

(Katniss is still sawing at the branch; the branch is almost ready to fall down.)

Sweat is starting to pour down my face. This is some branch!

(The branch then snaps and the nest falls down onto the Careers and Peeta.)

Yes! The first part of my plan is done! Now, I need to get the bow. If Glimmer dies with the only bow in the arena in her hand, and the hovercraft takes her away with it, it'll be gone forever, and I refuse to let them slip through my fingers again!

As soon as I got down from the tree, I realised that one of the tracker jackers had stung me on the neck and leg. The pain was unbearable, but I had to keep going; I had to get the bow.

I landed on my back instead of my feet. I better get the bow before the hallucinations kick in!

(Katniss goes over to Glimmer's dead body to retrieve the bow.)

Well, well, well. Look at you now, Glimmer! You're not so pretty now, are you? Your body disfigured, your own heart struggling to survive against the tracker jacker venom, your whole body covered in foul-smelling pustules waiting to ooze green liquid! Good. The sooner you're dead, the better.

I try to free the bow from her strong grip, but it was locked completely around it.

(The cannon booms.)

The girl from District 4 just died. There's not much time left now!

(Katniss sees a rock on the ground.)

Of course, that's it! I pick up the rock and use it to break Glimmer's hand. As soon as I was done, her hand seemed to just crumble away. Must be the hallucinations.

Now to get the arrows.

I roll Glimmer over and do whatever I can to get them off her back. I almost have them.

(Katniss manages to get the arrows and Glimmer's cannon booms.)

Glimmer is now dead and now I have the arrows. My plan is almost done.

(Peeta is then heard in the distance.)

Someypeone's coming. It's probably Cato. I try to run but the hallucinations are too powerful!

But it's Peeta. What is he doing here?!

"Katniss, what are you doing here? The Careers will kill you! Run, go! RUN!"

I got up and ran. I can't believe this. Peeta Mellark just saved my life. Now I have to forgive him, even though I'm really the forgiving type.

(Peeta gets the cut.)

Peeta: Run, Katniss.

Cato: (angry) I should've known, Lover Boy!

(Peeta and Cato fight and Cato cuts Peeta on the leg.)

Peeta: (in pain) Aaaaah!

(Peeta falls to the ground.)

Cato: (angry) I should've known you'd save her! I SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOU'D LET HER GO!

THE END
