Please read the note at the bottom, It's really important.

The long grass of the meadow sparkles in the sunlight while the sound of the nearby river calms my tired body. As I trek through the forest a flash of brown hair barely enters my vision. I turn to the right and begin walking to where a beautiful woman stood. As I got closer to her she let out a series of high pitched giggles the alomst bounced off of the trees, sending shivers down my spine. I grabbed her shoulder and spun her aeound."Katniss?",but before the she could answer she stabbed my stomach while letting out a demonic laugh.

I sat upright,sweat dripped down my face like a shower. My nightmares had become worse over the period of the games,but I was almost out of here so I just had to surbive for a little while longer.

I took a quick bath in a nearby river and changed my wet sweaty clothes. I quickly woke Clove and we set out towards the field,to hunt the tributesin there. AS I began walking through the forest I realized that this trip wasn't going to be as easy as I had planned.

About an hour into our hike a bunch of birds began landing on the trees around us. The birds made me feel uneasy as if something bad was going to happen. After a few more minutes of walking we hit a sudden dead end. The birds began to close in on us,there black beady eyes stared at us with a hint of satisfaction.

All at once they opened there mouths and let out a scream,but this scream was famaliar,only one persons' scream sounded like this and it was Katniss.I began to panic how did they get her to scream with so much pain that it almost shattered the ground on which I stood.

I covered my ears,trying to block out the horrible noises coming out of the mouths. I began to rock back and forth letting the tears fall down my now sweating face. I didn't care if I looked like a wimp but I couldn't stand the thought of Katniss being in so much pain.

I looked over to Clove who had the same expression on her face as I did, I had never thought about how she felt I mean Katniss was her best friend. The birds began adding in new screams as time went on. It sounded like a symphony of pain that would never end.

After another half hour of torture the birds finally stopped singing and began retreating back in the direction we came from. Instead of giving up I laid my head down on the rocky ground and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Katniss P.O.V

I watched the tv as Cato slowly fell asleep after the Jabberjay run in. I could barely watch it, I couldn't stand to see him in so much pain, I wish that he hadn't given in to the Capitol'sn trick but I would have done the same thing.

Over the last couple of days I decided that I would go into the games next year. I have already informed my trainers and they are very pleased with my decision. Why would I go in? Its simple I want to be able to understand the way Cato will feel after the games end. I just want to do it for him.

I threw on my father's hunting jacket and jogged to the Academy. I put my things in my locker and headed over to the archery station. I began shooting to blow off some of my stress butb after a while I started having fun,shooting all of the targets,even the moving ones.

I finally stopped when I couldn't find anynore arrows. I smkled at my work, every shot was a bullseye."Good job babe,why don't you come wiith me to my place and we can see if you know how to hit the target." whispered a voice in my ear.

I let out an aggravated sigh" Look Griffin I'm in a realationship with Cato,you know the person who I'm in love with, So no I will not have sex with you and next why would I even want to be with a sleezeball like you?"

" He's not coming otu of there alive,so get over him,and then you can be with this sexy beast, I mean look at you I'm sure you get around alot if you know what I mean."He said seductively.

I slapped him as hard as I could and stormed out of the Academy and ran home. When I arrived home Leslie was just finishing dinner. "How was yor day?" she asked brightly

" Well I trained, The man I love is in a fight to death with my best friend and I basically just got called a whore so all in all my day sucked butt." I answered casually.

Leslie chuckled" Oh honey things will get better,just wait and see."

I hope she's right because at the moment my life looked pretty crappy.

President Snow's P.O.V

"Seneca I have an assignment for you." I said as he walked in.

" And what would that be sir.?" he asked curiously.

"The District two boy Cato, I want you to break him, so that he can't be fixed." I say darkly.

Seneca's green eyes show a hint of uncertainty, but he rushes off towards the control room.
