So sorry it took so long to update! I had the misfortune to break my phone, so I had to wait over a week to get my replacement phone.

I had already started this chapter on my other phone, but by breaking it I have to start the chapter over again. I just hope my laptop gets fixed so I don't have to use my phone anymore. It really kills my battery.

Anyway, I'm sure you don't want to hear about my problems, so let's get to Peeta's problems. Let me think, where were we in the story... right, the tracker jacket scene. Continuing reading please.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of the awesome creation called the Hunger Games.

My eyes snap open. I see the hard packed dirt floor in eye level. I fell asleep on my side. I get up and look around me. In a millisecond, I spot what looks like wasps filing out of a smashed nest that lies on the ground, mere ten feet away from me.

The girls' screams fill my ears. The wasps start buzzing around. A group of them charge at me. I'm on my feet now. From this view, I know now what they are. Tracker jackers. The others are on their feet too, not sure what to do.

"To the lake! To the lake!" I yell at them. Marvel starts yelling just like me. I sprint as fast as my legs can carry me. I glance back to make sure they're following me. I don't see Lucille or Glimmer, but I see the rest of them. The tracker jackets are there too. They're right on their tails. We keep running.

As I sprint for the lake, my thoughts wonder to Katniss. Did she do this? If she did, did she get away? Did she get stung? I hope not. Suddenly I feel a sharp pang behind my ear. I'm almost current that was a tracker jacket. Then I feel another one below the right side of my rib cage. This one causes me to give a yelp of pain.

We finally near the lake and the camp. Sheldon stands up alarmed when he sees us running toward him. I yell for him to run. He hesitates, but he runs in the same direction as the rest of us. I hear a canon go off, just as we all jump into the lake. I don't know how to swim so I stay in the waist high water.

I feel another stab of pain on my chest. I wince and go under the water. I count to thirty and come back up for air. As I do, I get stung again. I don't understand how they can sting me if half my body is underwater and my shirt and jacket is clinging to my skin. Never underestimate Capitol creations.

Behind me, in deeper water, Cato is screaming his head off. He has serious temperament issues.

"I swear I'll find her and kill her," he exclaims. "I'll tear her to fucking pieces! I'll hunt through the entire arena if I have to!"

From the tone of his voice and the look on his face, I can tell he's serious. He really wants to kill Katniss, and I don't think our deal matters anymore.

"Head back, search for her. She had to have been stung quite a few times to drop that nest!"

I'll do whatever I can to make sure they don't find her. My head already feels dizzy as I pull myself out of the water. I stagger a bit, just like Haymitch, but once I regain balance, I take off running in the direction I came from. I slam into a few trees and trip on fallen branches, but I keep going. I can hear Cato smashing through the bushes a fair distance behind me.

I smash through the brushes and see Katniss knelt down beside Glimmer. I hear Cato getting closer, I have to get her out of her. I thought she would have left already. She looks at me confused. I lower the spear that I subconsciously picked up at the camp.

"What are you still doing here," I hiss at her. She still looks confused. I can hear Cato coming closer. "Are you mad?" I ask her. She doesn't move. I poke her with the end of the spear. I can hear Cato coming closer.

"Get up! Get up!" She finally stands up, but confusion is still plastered on her face. "Run! Run!" I scream shoving her away from me, hard. She takes off running, glancing over her shoulder. I turn around and see Cato raising his short sword over his head.

"What the fuck! You little traiter!" he shouts at me. He swings his sword and I am blinded by a pain in my left leg. I don't dare look down at what he did, but I can see lots of blood on his sword. He raises the sword again, but this time, with the strength I have left, I run the opposite way Katniss ran.

I can feel inside my body. I am running on adrenaline. My legs are running by adrenaline. My arms are swinging as I run by adrenaline. My heart is pounding fast and hard with adrenaline. My vision begins to blur and my head feels like someone's trying to smash it with both hands. I start seeing what looks like stars. Patches of black cover parts of my vision.

I haven't felt this way since Seth had me in a headlock in our school's championship. I'm not even aware of crossing a river until I'm waist deep, but luckily that's as deep it goes. Once I've gotten across I get to a rocky area. I am completely out of breathe. I lay down on my back and try my best to control my breathing. I can't, it feels like its stuck in my throat and no matter what I do, I can't get it out. My mind is blank, except for one thing.

I saved Katniss's life. Then everything goes black.

Sorry about it being a short chapter and taking so long. I'll try my best to make the next chapter longer and not take a while to update. Buuuttt... I guess I would feel more confident about it and actually try my very best if you would please review and tell me what you think. Bye!
