Hello everyone! Thanks for all the reviews, it makes me so happy to hear from you guys! Love you all (so hows your day going? I hope its good!)

We are slowing down on the reviews :/ I know not all of you could be bothered but it really inspires me to write from hearing from you guys! so mma ask you some questions to help you out:

Should I write catching fire once I ? Or skip to the part in Mockingjay where Peeta is crazy (I've been looking forward to writing that part :D)

A quick message from me: PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE REVIEW!

Random disclaimer: Suzanne Collins Owns Hunger games. I am merely rewriting it as if Katniss were stronger along with Peeta.

Enjoy!


"Peeta." I begged helplessly. He had trapped me against his chest. I could sense how conflicted he was. Even if he let me go back to her what could I do?

"Katniss." He sighed and ran. My last hopes of seeing Rue again vanished.

After a few minutes of him running with me in his arms, I suppose I finally realised Rue was dead. I would never see her flying through the trees, or hear her melodious laugh again. I tucked my head into Peeta's chest and sobbed. By the time Peeta set me down his shirt was soaked from my tears.

Peeta lied down next to me and pulled me into his chest. I had stopped crying now. Peeta simply encompassed me in his arms. I used the few moments we had in somewhat privacy to grieve.

I grieved for the girl who had stolen my heart. Rue had saved my life, even though I was trying to protect her. I grieved for the three tributes dead by my hand. Nobody deserved to die. I felt incredibly sick thinking about it. Finally, I grieved for home. I wanted to go home.

I wiped my eyes and tugged on Peeta's sleeve. "I want to go home Peeta."

He thought for a moment. "Tell you what Katniss, go to sleep right now and you will be home."

I did as he told me. The dreams I had were sad. Rue flying through the trees with her arms outstretched. It reminded me so much of a bird. Prim entered my dreams, I was reading to her on the floor. She laughed about something. Finally Gale. I missed my best friend. I wondered what he thought about me in the games. I wondered what he thought about Peeta.

"You look nice when you sleep. You don't frown." Of course this made me frown. Peeta laughed at me.

I sat up and glanced around. We were in a cave. I thought about what our situation was. "Who's left Peeta?"

"Cato and Foxface."

"Foxface?" I was glad he took up my nickname for her but I was curious as to how she was still alive.

Peeta opened his mouth to answer when trumpets began to play. I jumped up and ran outside to hear the announcements.

"Greetings tributes. There has been a slight rule change. According to this new rule two tributes from each district may be crowned victors. That is all." There was static as the sound was shut off. Peeta had exited the cave as well and now had his arm wrapped around my waist.

I didn't understand what this meant. Two tributes from each district? Peeta answered my question for me. "Katniss. It means we get to go home!" I wanted to turn to him. Tell him it must be a mistake. But he swooped me up and spun me around before kissing me. We hadn't kissed like this before. This was entirely hope and passion. It made the alien feeling return and I couldn't help but wrap my arms around him.

"What about Cato and Foxface?" I broke the celebration. "We have to kill Cato Peeta."

He frowned before realisation struck. He turned pale for a second before gulping then slowly nodding his head. I'm not sure what upset him but he returned slowly back into the cave. I leaned against a tree and sighed.

"It seems I'll have to kill Cato." I mumbled to myself in thought.

I barely noticed it as a parachute landed next to my feet. Why would Haymitch send me a parachute? I bent down and opened it.

Inside is a knife. I glanced down at my belt, I still had my normal one here. I'm pretty sure I had more in my backpack. I nearly missed the small slip of paper. I opened it and read:

Make it a show, Sweetheart.

Make what a show? He sent a knife. Was he talking about me killing Cato? But why would I need to make that a show? There must have been a reason that I had to please the capital for. I frowned. I thought about what had happened. I don't need any more sponsor gifts. We haven't made any deals with anyone. The only thing that, wait, the rule change. Haymitch must think they will go back on their word.

If they do then only Peeta or I can go home. He would kill himself to let me go home. No! I couldn't let that happen. But if I wanted to keep this rule change, did that mean I had to torture Cato? Could I do that? The idea sickened me. Firstly the idea of actually hurting someone. I had killed the others instantly. If I had to torture Cato. I shuddered at the notion. Also if I did this, I would be losing myself. Becoming what the capital wanted. A vicious killing machine.

I couldn't lose Peeta though. I would be willing to kill myself so he could go home. I could do that in a second. But even if I could do it, what about Prim? Maybe I was just trying to be selfish. But I had to consider my mother and Prim. Always Prim. If both Peeta and I won then my family would get money and I could help Gale with that! I started considering actually killing Cato the way the Capital want. I would do it, for Peeta and everyone back home in 12. What would it do to me though? I would surely hate myself. Peeta would be mad too. I might lose him as a… friend, but then again I saved his life. I could live knowing he was safe and I was in pain.

That's it then. I had to torture Cato. For Prim. I would do it for Prim a thousand times over. I didn't know if Haymitch would listen, but I hoped he would. I looked up to the tree line, to where I thought cameras may be, and mouthed two simple words. "Help me."
