A/N: Hey everyone! I was gonna post this a few days ago but I was really busy so I never got the chance! I hope you will forgive me! Anyway the tension and romance is building in the Games and for Peeta and Katniss! Let's see what chapter brings us! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: The Hunger Games is a great book. Too bad it doesn't belong to me. All rights go to Suzanne Collins.

HPOV: It was almost over. Just them and the guy from two, then they could come back home to Twelve. None of my Tributes ever made it home. Not that I really cared about them. But there was something different about Katniss and Peeta.

I actually liked them and I was starting to consider them my family. I knew Effie, Cinna, Portia, Octavia, and the rest of the prep team thought the same way. And knowing them, they could take the other Tribute. I just knew it! Oh no… hold that thought… we have a problem!

KPOV: Just this morning we were eating our soup and laughing and talking and looking for food together. And now it was nighttime and we were being chased by giant mutant dogs that had the eyes of all the Tributes we murdered.

Who would've thought that just when things were dying down, they could only get worse? Oh that's right… I did!

We had just made it to the Cornucopia and were climbing to the top. Peeta made it up first with that killer upper body strength of his. You know, if we weren't in the middle of a near death experience right now, I would be swooning over it.

I felt my leg slip out from underneath me. I began sliding down. "PEETA! PEETA HELP ME! HELP ME PLEASE HELP ME!"

He looked back and I thought his eyes would bulge out of their sockets any second. But I was distracted by the fear and despair within them. "Katniss!" he cried desperately clutching my hand. "I promise I won't let you go. I promise I won't let you fall. If you fall so will I. I'll let Cato kill me so I can be with you. "I love you with all my heart, Katniss Everdeen and I always will."

My eyes filled with tears and I said softly, my voice breaking, "Oh, Peeta. I-" but my reply was cut of my an evil chuckle and a mirthless voice drawling, "Oh, isn't that just the sweetest thing? The two lovebirds sharing their last words of affection before I end. Both of them. Right. Now."

Peeta pulled me up and I shot my arrow at Cato when Peeta ran to punch him. I missed because I was so afraid that Peeta would get hurt that I was shaking. Cato grabbed Peeta's arm and shoved it behind him, pinning a hand around Peeta's throat and going to stand by the edge. I raised my bow, ready to strike.

Cato glared at me with sort of a… half smile on his face and said, "Go ahead. Shoot me if you want. But if I go down lover boy here will go with me."

I stared at him. "You're right, Cato. If I shoot you Peeta will go down with you. But not if I do this. Peeta catch!" I shouted taking my arrow out of my bow and tossing it to him. He plunged the arrow right at Cato's heart through his armor (if he had a heart, that is) and kicked him of the Cornucopia in an unmentionable place. And Cato fell down to his death as the hungry mutant dogs devoured him.

Peeta and I jumped down and embraced each other. "We did it! We won the Hunger Games!" He shouted gleefully. But where was the announcement?

Just as I thought that, Seneca Crane's voice filled the speakers. "The rule has been changed back. There will only be one winner. Best of luck and may the odds be ever in your favor."

We just stood there in silence, letting the news sink in.

A/N: Oh no! Cliffy! Sorry about that but I wanted to add a little suspense. But I'll update soon if you review a ton! Love you all!

Thanks for Reading!
