Chapter 14

Last Time:

"My district gave me this when I was stabbed in the arm by Glimmer. Here." The girl hands it to Peeta and he immediately puts it on Alex's next. Right before their eyes the medicine sooths it and the blood flow weakens, "It will take a few days before she will be as good as new, but it's pretty fast. You might want to put some on your leg."

"Who are you?" Alex asks weakly. At least her breathing is going back to normal.

"I'm not giving out my name."

"Can I call you Foxface?"

"Why not." And just like that Foxface disappears into the night.

Now:

Katniss runs across the fallen tree and rushes to the cave. As she arrives to the entrance, she slips in.

"Alex? Peeta?" Katniss asks in the darkness.

"Katniss?" Katniss hears Peeta's voice.

"Ya, it's me. Are you both ok?" Katniss walks further into the cave and pulls out a match from her pocket. She lights it and walks further into the cave until Peeta and Alex comes into sight, "Do you guys have a fire?"

"Ya." Peeta answers stroking Alex's hair as Alex sleeps. Katniss looks around the cave until her eyes lands on the fire. She lights the fire and smiles seeing the food Alex hunted.

Before Katniss could take a breath there is a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder.

"I'm going to hunt Peeta. We need to stalk up on food." Katniss announces standing up and kisses Alex's cheek, "Is she ok?"

"Ya. Foxface gave us her bag and the medicine to help her." Katniss nods.

"Good. I'll be back soon." Peeta nods his head in agreement knowing Katniss will be fine. He watches Katniss leave, leaving her bag and the other bag behind. Once she is gone, Peeta looks back down at the sleeping girl in his arms.

"I love you Alex Russo." Peeta whispers kissing Alex's forehead before falling asleep.

~K&A~

Katniss carries five squirrels, seven lizards and two wild turkeys back to the cave.

"I love you Alex Russo." Katniss hears Peeta whisper. Katniss smiles slipping into the cave and putting her kill with Alex's. She pulls out her arrows from her kill and heads to the river. She cleans them off and puts them back with the others.

Suddenly it begins to pour. Katniss's hair immediately gets soaked as she walks back into the cave. Once in the cave, Katniss smiles seeing Alex and Peeta fast asleep. Katniss looks at the fire and takes notice that Alex has a huge pile of branches, bark and leaves for the fire.

Katniss opens her bag and pulls out some plastic to wrap the food in after it's skinned and cooked.

Katniss begins to cook their food and as she cooks she puts them in the plastic and wraps them.

Once all the food is cooked, Katniss puts a branch on the fire before looking out into the rain.

The main competition to win this are: Thresh, Foxface, Rue, Peeta, Alex and myself. Only one can win and if I win, that means Alex and Peeta are dead along with Rue. If Alex wins everyone else is dead. Either way how can we all come out alive?

~A&K~

The next morning, Alex's eyes open as there is a crack of thunder. Alex jumps and looks outside to see it is raining, lightning and thunder. Alex sits up slowly to see Katniss and Peeta both still asleep. Alex moves her hand to her neck to feel the goo over where she got stabbed by Clove.

She climbs to her feet and sits down on a rock next to the fire. She pokes the burning branch with her stick and puts a few branches in.

"Are you hungry?" Alex jumps and looks to see Katniss sitting up after yawning.

"Just a little." Alex admits. Katniss smiles and picks up two plastic wraps with food inside. Alex quickly opens them and begins to eat slowly. Katniss grabs her own two and joins Alex on the rock. They both eat in silence and once finished Alex cuddles into Katniss's side and falls back to sleep. Katniss leans back into the rock wall and falls back to sleep holding Alex close.

~K&A~

It has been three days since Katniss arrived to the cave. Alex and Peeta are both fully healed and the rain has now flooded the cave. Alex puts her bag on her back and gives Peeta the knife. Peeta puts Foxface's old bag on as Katniss puts her's on and grabs her bow and arrows. Alex picks up her sword and they slowly climb out of the flooded cave.

Once outside, they quickly get soaked by the rain.

"Come on." Peeta grabs Alex's hand and they walk to where the tree was supposed to be.

"Where is it?" Alex asks blinking and wiping her eyes to clear her vision.

"I don't know." Katniss looks down the river to see everything flooding and the tree is at the waterfall about two miles from where they are.

"The tree is our only way across because the rock bridge got wiped out." Alex mutters.

"It's a risk we have to take." They begin to walk down to the tree as their boots get soaked by the overflowing river.

By evening, they arrive to the tree and Alex gulps noticing one wrong move and they are dead.

Katniss climbs up and once she is across Peeta goes. As soon as Peeta makes it across Alex climbs up. She puts her arms out to keep her balance as she slowly walks across.

About halfway through there is a strong gust of wind and causes Alex to lose her balance. Alex falls off the tree and grabs a strong, sturdy branch. Alex screams struggling to keep her grip. Her lower body is completely under the water and she is struggling to keep her head above the water.

"ALEX!" Alex looks up to see Katniss laying down on the tree and grabbing her wrists. Katniss begins to pull her over and Alex feels her body growing weaker. Katniss pulls Alex close enough to wrap her arms around her and lift her out of the river.

Katniss picks Alex up completely and rushes off the tree as she hears a crack.

"Catch her!" Katniss shouts at Peeta as the tree begins to move. Katniss tosses Alex to Peeta before diving onto the rocks just as the tree snaps in half and goes over the falls.

Katniss quickly gets to her feet to see Peeta lying on his back with Alex on top of him. She rushes over to them and helps them to their feet.

"Are you guys alright?" Katniss asks them.

"Yup." Peeta smiles kissing Katniss's cheek and putting Alex into a hug.

"I'm alright." Alex agrees hugging Peeta tightly. To Peeta's and Katniss's surprise, Alex goes onto her tippy toes and kisses Peeta.
