Games

by mockinjay14

When the time comes, I'm sure I'll kill just like everybody else. I can't go down without a fight. Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games. This is Peeta's story during The Hunger Games. I don't own The Hunger Games or any of it's characters.

16. Chapter 16

Chapter 16

I force my eyes open. Katniss did this so she could go to the feast and get the medicine I need. I notice a needle in my arm. The medicine. But the medicine is here, and injected into me, where's Katniss? I turn my head to look behind me.

Covered in blood, lies Katniss. I can't even tell where the blood is coming from. I crawl to Katniss, and notice my leg hurts less. I look for Katniss's heartbeat. When I find one, I laugh, she is in soo much trouble once she wakes up. If she does wake up.

It's evening I think, and I'm wondering how long I've been asleep. My stomach growls, and I begin looking through Katniss's bag. I find the meat she offered me the day she found me. I scarf down three pieces of it, I think I remember Katniss calling it groosling. That's when I realize Katnis wont be hunting for a while, and this will have to last. I put the meat away, just like Katniss had it. I try to find the source of the blood.

I do my best to clean Katniss's face. The blood is from her forehead. I find a bandage in the first aid kit and tie it around her head. I take her boots and socks off. The sun sets. I sit in the cave and watch Katniss. That's when the anthem starts. I walk to the opening of the cave. I'm surprised to see Clove's face in the sky. Did Katniss kill her? She must have. Clove probably gave Katniss her wound, too. No other faces appear.

I move back to Katniss's side. I stay up the whole night, ready to protect Katniss. In the morning, I take out some of the dried pairs in Katniss's backpack. I eat those. I'll have to be a lot more careful with the food we still have.

I think I may have gone mad, since I woke up yesterday. I just want to see her eyes again.

I watch the opening of the cave. Ready to kill anyone who comes near it. That's all I can focus on. I turn to look at Katniss when I hear her start to stir.
