up next was the arena...

Haymitch POV

Here we are just hours before I put Katniss and Gale in to the arena. I know everyone thinks that I am a drunken fox but I am not I drink so I don't remember what I went through in the arena. I am having a hard time knowing that I am going to have to put someone that I care about so much in the arena I know not a lot of people know what I did for Katniss and Prim. most probably think I am a selfish S.O.B but again that's not the case.

"Katniss?" I said

"Remember the girl and boy tribute are directly across from each other in the Arena,all you have to do is get across to him then get to cover."

She nodded but she looked overwhelmed, and I had only seen that look once before it was when she was looking at her dads body not knowing what to do. I pulled her into my arms, Katniss you have this you and Gale both are good with a bow and arrow together and you will be fine.

How Haymitch?

"Same way I did it." I responded

"How did you do it?" Katniss asked

I knew right then that I was going to show her the video of my year the one video I had taken of the box.

"This is how", I said turning on the tv. We sat there watching my games in complete silence until the screen went black.

"You use the arena." Katniss said.

"Yes I did but thats not why I showed you this. I showed you this because I want you to know that I know how it feels." I could see the wheels turning in her head.

"You're the man that walked Prim and I home the night my dad passed away."

I smiled. "I did more then that I fed Prim at school and bought stuff from you in the Hob but yes I am the one who took you home."

"But why?" She asked

"I lost my parents around the same age and I don't know why but I care about you and Prim." I told her

Everyone loves Prim but why me?" She asked me

"I don't know I guess I know how it feels to lose someone you love so much." I said solemnl.

"Haymitch how am I going to do this?" I asked

and suddenly she looked like the scared little from all thoughs years ago.

"Do what?" He asked

"Get me and Gale out alive I can't live without him Haymitch I-I...

"Katniss you can do it I don't know how but you will..."

Gale POV

"We will get us out" I corrected walking up.

That's right there are two of you in this, you both are great with a bow and arrow. That's half the battle." Haymitch said

"Whats the other half?" I asked

"Finding clean food and water." He answered

"Katniss nodded and I grabbed Katniss's hand "lets go." I said

"Okay you can walk most of the way together but then y will have to spilt up, remember girl and boy tributes are across to each other Cinna will take Katniss and I will take Gale, now come on this is where you have to spilt up."

"Bye I love you"

"I love you Katniss, but I am not saying bye I say look in to her eyes because I will see you in a few minutes." I to.d her with a confident smile.

I nodded and then he kissed me then walked off...

Cinna POV

"Katniss you can do this, I have seen you with a bow and you can get out of this alive" I said putting the Mockingjay pin under her suit.

Thank you Cinna for everything."

I nodded pulling her in my arms.

The tunnel port started to count I lead her on it and the door closed.

she nodded as it started going up...

Gale POV

"I was lifted up in to the area when the sun blinded me, when my eyes finally adjusted I spotted Katniss across from me. I could see we were in a circle which meant that the area was a circle when the robotic voice started counting down my eyes connected with Katniss and we nodded at the same time we were on the same page.

4...3...2...1.. I ran toward Katniss who had grabbed a backpack two bows, two sheethes of arrows and four knifes and was out before anyone noticed her, that in itself was a feat I grabbed a second back. Then grabbed her hand and we ran when we got far enough in the woods she turned to me and hand me one of the bows sliethes of arrows and two of the knifes.

just then we heard someone coming, I threw the backpack on my put an arrow in the bow and point at the tree top, Katniss copied me but soon has the person came in to view she lowered the bow.

Hi Rue we won't hurt you please come down?" Katniss said.

I dropped my bow as well and she came down the tree.

Just has Rue hit the ground we heard twigs snap again I pointed my at where the sound was coming from shot I heard something hit the ground and the cannon sound. it was as if that one cannon sounding started the Hunger Games because right after that cannon sounded it went of five more times in the time frame of a minute. I grabbed Katniss's hand helped Rue back up the tree so she could follow undetected and ran further in the woods, I then climbed a tree and pulled Katniss up.

I knew it was going to be a long night. That's when the faces appeared in the sky...

reviews, tips, anything pleasantly put.
