HEY FACES! GET READY FOR *DRUM ROLLLLLL* THE FEAST!

EVES POV

There was an uprising in District 11. They played it on the huge screen in the square.

After the little girl, Rue was killed and Katniss covered her in flowers. They burned buildings. They killed Peacekeepers. They were subdued, but I felt something changing. In the districts, we were beginning to not be afraid of the Capitol. Our fear was dying.

FINCHES POV

I hid near Peeta, just in case he was in danger. Then an announcement came.

"The rules of the Hunger Games have been changed. District partners can win the Games together." I was sure that Katniss would come for Peeta now.

I swore that I heard a faint cry of, "Peeta!" In the distance. I climbed up a tree and hid.

I had some food left, enough for two days. Did I have sponsors? I wondered if Timothy, Florence and Lana were watching me right now. I imagined what each of them would say to me about helping Peeta.

Timothy would say, "No! You need to look out for yourself! You can't worry about anyone if you want to survive!"

Florence would nod approvingly at looking out for my friend.

Lana would say,"Good, you're not playing the Games."

I thought of what Eve would say.

"I'm glad that you're still a good person. The Games haven't changed you," she would say smiling brightly.

I hid in trees until I saw a person slipping through the forest. Katniss. She had her bow pointed out. I drew my knife, for if worst came to worst.

I heard her gasp when she would Peeta painted into the rock. I smiled, seeing that Katniss sounded happy to see Peeta.

I saw them go into a cave. Peeta could barely move. I felt bad that I couldn't have gotten some plants to heal Peeta's wound.

He would be fine with Katniss. I was sure he would.

I went to sleep and saw Drew again.

"Hi," he said. "Eve is fine right now. But something happened to her a few days ago," he said, getting straight to his point.

My eyes widened. "What was it?" I asked.

Drew told me that Eve had been whipped in the square. She was stealing food with her companions and a Peacekeeper caught her. She convinced him that she was just taking a walk, alone, but still was punished for being out after curfew.

"Is she okay now?" I asked.

"She's fine," said Drew. "Are you fine?" he asked.

"I need to die," I told him.

"Why?" he asked, frowning.

"If I don't I would be playing the Games. I would be obeying the Capitol," I said. Drew nodded.

"I get it," he said. "So don't play the Games," he said as he hugged me. He faded away as I woke up.

That was not a dream.

I was hungry. It had been five days since I had a good meal. I needed food. Desperately.

I ate some roots that I had found, but I needed more. I saw Katniss slipping out of the cave. She was going hunting.

I needed food. Katniss and Peeta had some. I would only take a little. I was counting on Peeta being asleep.

I slipped into the cave and took and apple and a piece of bread, then ran out. Peeta didn't stir at all.

I remember that I can't play the Games. I remembered that I would die, but not yet.

"Tributes, each of you need something desperately. Come to the Cornucopia and the thing will be there," said Claudius Templesmith over a hidden speaker.

The food. I needed food.

xXx

I thought of my strategy. I needed to outsmart the other tributes, then, I had an idea.

I ran over to the ring of trees around the Cornucopia and thought of what the other tributes would do to get their packs.

Katniss and Thresh would wait to get their packs. Cato and Clove would wait. They would be wary of Thresh and his strength.

I would have the upper hand if I just ran and got my pack before anyone else. I would get to the Cornucopia way before anyone else.

I looked around the ring of trees and saw no one. I would run and hide in the Cornucopia hours before anyone would come to the Feast, then grab my pack and run.

I looked at the Cornucopia and ran as fast as I could and scampered up into the mouth of the Cornucopia. No one would catch me. I would be able to grab my pack and go before anyone else. Smart as a fox. I remembered Eve saying.

xXx

I saw the packs come down in a hovercraft. I eyed the one that said 5 on it. I looked out of the mouth of the Cornucopia and saw some of the tributes. Cato and Clove and Katniss. I didn't see Thresh, though. That might be a problem, hopefully I don't run into him.

I wondered what Katniss needed. I was betting that it was treatment for Peeta's wound.

Seeing that no one was coming, I jumped out of the Cornucopia and grabbed my pack. I sprinted away as fast as I possibly could, thankfully not running into Thresh.

When I had run for a few minutes I heard a cannon. I ran faster. I ran until I got to my hiding place.

I looked in the pack. There was bread and some dried meat and fruit. I ate some of the fruit and looked at how long this food would last me. Only three days if I ate as little as possible.

In a few hours, I looked in the sky as the Capitol anthem played. Cloves confidant face lit up the sky. Even in that picture, she had the look on her face that said, "I'll win these Games. No matter what it takes."

I would die soon, if I didn't do something. I knew it. I would starve. Dying of hunger. I could just see my 'parents' watching this and saying, "Look at her, she's still is useless. She can't get food. She'll be killed soon." I couldn't die like that. I needed a defiant death. I would defy the Capitol.

THIS STORY IS GOING TO HAVE A FEW MORE CHAPTERS! I THINK IT'S ALMOST OVER... :( I MIGHT DO SOME THINGS FROM EVE'S POV LATER! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
