A/N: Sorry about my updating late. I was betaing for Lalaxx in Belgium. That and my computer won't always late me update as soon as I want to. Enjoy chapter twelve. We are almost finished. Don't despair. This isn't the end. I have a whole bunch of Catoniss stories coming your way, along with a few Keeta FanFics and a Glarvel story as well. Now I'll stop talking and let you read. R & R please. It really makes my day.

Katniss' POV

'Katniss! Katniss! Wake up. Wake up. You can't die. You have to live for Cato. Katniss!'

I was sleeping and could feel Clove shaking me. Why would she think I was dead? I struggled to open my eyes but I could use my mouth

'Clove quit it. I'm sleeping'

'Oh thank god, you're alive. I thought you were dead.' I had opened my eyes now but I still felt a little groggy.

'Why would I be dead?'

'You had no pulse and you weren't breathing. You know how when you're breathing your chest rises and falls.'

'Ok but I'm alive so can you please calm down and get off me' I said as nicely as possible. Clove got off me immediately

'Sorry, I was just scared. I know Cato would have wanted you to die. Now what would you like for breakfast. We have leftover rabbit or we can finish off the turkey meat. We have berries as well but I thought we should save them for when we go hunting. Oh and this morning your mentor sent you something. It's over there.'

'Thanks Clove' I move over to the small package by my bow and arrow. As always I read the note first. Good thing too.

Katniss

Don't open this until you reach the final two. And don't lose it!

- H

Wow thanks for the gift Haymitch. Give me something I can't use.

'So what is it? Food, weapons, come on tell me'

'I don't know Clove. Haymitch said to not open it until I was I the final two.'

'Oh ok. Well let's eat.'

Peeta's POV

I couldn't save her. I was too late. At least I avenged her when I killed him. Poor Rue, such a sweet young girl should not be in something like this. None of us should be. Forced to fight to the death. We all had lives to live out. I wonder how Clove and Katniss are doing. Still tagging along with the enemy. I can't believe that both Foxface and Thresh are gone. I thought he would be in the final two with Katniss. I hope that Clove killed both of them but that is half unlikely. Katniss can become a monster with that bow. A monster from a Career district. Maybe that's where she belongs. And now her precious Cato is dead. Katniss should be with me. I love her too and I've known her the longest. Not the Cato boy. Good thing he's gone. If I make to the final two with Katniss then maybe I'll get to share at least one moment with her before she kills me. I hear a growling noise behind me. That doesn't sound good. I run as fast as I can towards the Cornucopia. I know what is following me. Mutts. This happened in the 68th games. The boy from 12 was eaten and gnawed at by mutts. We were so close to winning that year. He made it to the final four. In the end, district 4 one. An eighteen year old girl.

Katniss' POV

'Katniss do you hear that?'

'Hear what?'

'That growling. I swear I can hear growling. Katniss. Its mutts. I know it is. We have to run.'

'But we have to find Peeta.'

'I'll bet he's at the Cornucopia. It's how District 4 won. He was above high ground while the mutts killed off the remaining tributes. We have to go.' Clove grabs my hand. As soon as we run we hear the heavy steps of the mutts. We reach the cornucopia and I see Peeta standing on it. He sees me and helps me up. I turn around too help Clove. She's almost up but a mutt bites her leg and she falls down screaming in pain. I do the only thing I should do. I load my arrow and fire at her heart. It is better this way. At least she didn't have to die and painful death by mutts.

'I'm sorry Clove' I whisper to her. Her canon went of a soon as the arrow pierced her heart. Now it was just me and Peeta. Did I want to kill him? Yes I wanted to. To go back home. Did I have it in me? No.

'Peeta I can't kill you. I hate you but I can't kill you.'

'I know, I don't want to kill you either.' Peeta steps towards me close enough that our bodies touch.

'Peeta what are you doing?'

'Something I've wanted to do for I long time. Katniss, I really do love you' that's the last thing he says before he places his lips on mine. The kiss is sweet but not like Cato's kisses. Whenever I kissed Cato, I would feel fireworks all through my body. I pull away cutting of his kiss.

'Peeta I'm sorry, but I don't love you like that. I love Cato and I wanted him'

'Yeah, I know. I just had to do that once.' I see a parachute float down. It only has a note attached to it. I grab it and read it

Katniss

Do you really want to be with Cato?

Open the other package I gave you. It's time

- H

I open the small package and find another note inside cover what the bag is holding

Hope you know what to do and to do the right thing

- H

I pull the note away and find Nightlock berries inside. I love Haymitch. He's giving me a harmless death. If I eat these I'll be dead in seconds and I can be with Cato again.

I take them out and hold them in my hand. The look on Peeta's face as he realises what I'm about to do is full of horror.

'Katniss don't do it. Think about your family.'

'Peeta, take care of Prim for me.' I raise the berries to my mouth and swallow

'Katniss no!' I fall to the ground. Somehow, I'm not dead yet cause I can hear my canon and the trumpets blaring announcing Peeta as the 74th Annual Hunger Games Victor. I feel myself getting drowsy. This must be it. I am dying. I will never wake again. Soon I'll be in the arms of Cato again.
