"Okay." I nod. Katniss walks away and waves. Little did I know this would be the last time I saw her. I wave, when I know its time, I light the first fire. I get to the second one. Than I have to stop. I get attacked. I fight back. But this boy, who I saw earlier, I know hes a career and he has a weapon. I don't have a weapon. His name is Marvel. And I am defenseless. He seems to know I am in alliance with Katniss.
"Where is she? Wheres Katniss?" I shake my head. I don't wanna sell my only alliance out. I make the mistake of whistling our tune so she knows i'm okay. I at least have to create the illusion. I can't have her coming to get me. If I don't win, she should. "What was that little whistle you did there?" I will not talk to you. I think. I will never give up on Katniss. However, I have already given up on my victory. "Fine. Don't talk. She'll come eventually." He shoves me down. I am knocked unconscious. My last thought is: I'll kill you, Marvel. You don't get to win.
I wake up and I hear Katniss crashing through the woods "Rue?" She yells my name over and over. I don't know why I am on the ground here. "Katniss!" I yell. I am crying. The boy wakes up- Oh. My. God. What have I done? He grabs his spear.
"You've been of all your help necessary." Oh. My. Holy. Lord. He is gonna fucking kill me.
"Katniss!" I yell out of panic. I hear her response she crashes through the trees. I see er. She is loading her bow. I cruel grin spreads across Marvels face. 'Your over, Rue.' I think I hear him whisper. My world goes while. Oh My. God this hurts. It hurts so much. Katniss is next to me. Marvel's lifeless body is next to me. The smart thing to do, is probably accept death. Katniss's face says she thinks i'm a goner. I wont accept that. I know its in a helpless place, but I have to try. This time, I have to try. "Katniss..." I whisper. She nods. "Go and get those leaves, and cut a few strips off of his shirt. Put the leaves on the wound and then bandage it." This is clearly not what she expected. She does what I said though. She does it right, too. She puts the leaves on, than slowly pulls the spear out, she puts it in Marvels body so no one else can get it. She puts more leaves on than bandages it up. I know not to move. I still don't think i'll live. I find its hopeless. I guess I will still die. "Sing to me, Katniss." She nods.
Katniss is crying
"Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow"
Katniss wipes away a tear.
"Lay down your head
And close your eyes
And when they open
The sun will rise
Here it's safe
Here it's warm
Here the daisies guard
You from every harm
And here your dreams are sweet
And tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you
Deep in the meadow
Hidden far away
A cloak of leaves
A moonbeam ray
Forget your woes
And let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning
They'll wash away
Here it's safe
Here it's warm
Here the daisies guard
You from every harm"
My world goes black, but I can still hear her words.
"And here your dreams are sweet
And tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you
Badadadada..."
Shes crying. I don't know if she'll finish it.
"Here is the place where I love you
Deep in the meadow
Hidden far away
A cloak of leaves
A moonbeam ray
Forget your woes
And let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning
They'll wash away
Here it's safe
Here it's warm
Here the daisies guard
You from every harm
And here your dreams are sweet
And tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you"
I stop hearing whats going on. I can't feel. Oh god, this is what death feels like.
