"Prim?" He asks, as if not sure it's really me. "Prim!" He drops the fish and berries and runs toward me. I drop my bow and he is already here. He grabs me and lifts me up spinning me.
"I didn't know what happened to you! I didn't see you at the bloodbath and I thought I lost you the first day! But then you weren't in the sky last night. I didn't know what happened. Rue and I have been looking for you since we met up yesterday. Rue! Prim found us!" He says putting me down. "Rue? I left her right here, where did she go?" He says, obviously not seeing her behind the tree.

"Peeta." I say. He looks at me and sees my expression. "No, no! That wasn't her cannon. No! It can't be!" He looks upset. I'm quick to assure him, "No! Not that. But close. Come on." I lead him behind the tree. He sees the blood on the ground before he sees her. She has the gash on her forehead, a cut on her arm, and what looks to be a broken leg. I didn't actually see anything but the gash before. We both go to her and I tell Peeta to get as many green leaves as her can. If you mix the leave with some water, and make sure they are mushed up, it will thicken. He gets the pale of berries and I pick one up. Suddenly, scared to death, I yell.

"Oh my Lord! Please tell me you didn't eat any of these!" Peeta looks at me weird, but finally says

"No, I didn't. Why?" I relax, and take the bucket of berries and throw then in a small creek to my left.

"Why are you throwing them out?" Asks Peeta.

"Well, they are nightlock. Remember the berry I showed you in training?" I ask.

"Yes, how do you know?" He asks. I hold up the one berry I kept, squeezed it, and watched the seeds come out.

"The little seeds. Remember? You made a mental note of it." I said. He remembers and looks at me.

"Prim, you saved my life. I surely would have eaten those if you hadn't been here. I would have been dead. Thank you." He says.

"Well, it's just something I picked up from my father and sister." I say, smiling.

"Well, you will get to learn more from your sister when you get home." He says. I feel bad, knowing it is finally happening. Peeta will be dead probably within a week in the hopes I will get home. And even then it could be a wasted effort. I don't want to kill anyone else. Not after the girl from 4 went down. I try to give him a small smile, but I know one does not show on my face. We need to work on Rue. The cut on her arm isn't bad, and it doesn't have much of a chance of getting infected either. Peeta has a pack too. He pulls out a bandage and wraps it around her arm. I go to work on her leg. It's obvious that it is broken. I gather some sticks and masking tape from Peeta's pack. Now would be the time to move the bone as much as I can because she won't be aware of what it happening. Then we hear the cannon. My fingers go to Rues neck to check her pulse, and Peeta's go over her mouth to make sure she is still breathing. She is still alive, but her pulse is going down. She has lost a lot of blood.

"Peeta, take off the bandage on her arm and put some of the green mix on it. Then apply more to her forehead." I say. He does just that and I get ready to move her leg.

"Grab that rag and put it in her mouth. She might scream and I don't want to give away our location." I say. He puts it in her mouth, but doesn't stuff it in there. Good. I grab the part of her leg that's most out of whack, and quickly, sharply, turn it so it goes straight again. As I predicted, she screams her head off at this. Peeta covers her mouth while I put two sticks on either side of her leg and use the masking tape to tape all around her leg. At least it's not a compound fracture. I sit back as she finishes screaming.

"Well, that's that with her leg." Peeta is applying the last bit of green mix to her head, which is already looking better. He comes over and sits beside me.

"Wow, you are amazing with this healing stuff. Are you going to follow in your mothers footsteps?" He asks. Actually, I haven't really thought about it. I knew I wanted to get married and have at least one baby because I love babies. I thought maybe my husband would be able to bring in enough money, or own his own shop in town. Then I could work there or stay home with the kid.

"I'm not sure. Maybe, if I even get back home." I say. He looks like he is going to argue that I will make it back, but I stop him. "Hey, can you get those branches laying on the ground. The thick ones. I'm going to make her some crutches." He gets them and I realize I don't have a knife. Peeta grabs one from his belt, and hands it to me. I go to work carving them and cutting out handles she can hold onto. I lay beside her and find we are the same height. When I'm done, I can walk with them, so she should be able to as well. I turn to Peeta,

"What else do you have in there?" I ask him. He grabs the pack and pulls out two sleeping bags, one pillow, more masking tape cloth, some crackers, more dried fruit, a knife, and some sun glasses.

"They actually let you see at night, not during the day." He tells me. It's already dark, so I try them on. They do work really well in the dark. I can see everything. The birds, the plants, the trees, and I can even see Rue's blood. Oh no.

"What are we going to do Peeta? With Rue. We can't stay out in the open, it's not safe. And we can't exactly carry her up a tree." He considers this a moment and says to follow him. We get to this big tree with think branches.

"This is where we slept last night. I was actually able to fall asleep 30 feet up. I have an idea." He says, reaching for his pack. He pulls out a very long piece of rope, probably 100 feet long. He tears off a piece of very thick bark, and puts it over the rope. He ties the rope enough so it holds the bark and still goes over the first branch we can get to. We go get Rue and put her on there. He says since he is stronger, I will have to climb the tree. I never learned how in training. Gale told me to learn how in training, but I forgot. I go over to the tree and stand at the base. Katniss can climb like a squirrel, maybe I have some of that in my blood. It isn't easy, but I jump and grab onto the first branch. I swing myself so I can stand on the branch. I need to make this look good, for the sponsors. I'm lucky; the other branches actually are fairly close. So I'm able to climb up fast to where our rope is. He starts pulling and Rue is slowly, but safely, lifted to where I am. The branch I'm on is big enough to hold Rue and myself. We each get our own sleeping bag and pillow. Peeta takes the branch right above us and has his own sleeping bag. We watch in the sky and see the face of the girl from 4 and the boy from 8. When the anthem finishes, I lay there, beside Rue, and slowly fall asleep.
