Katniss P.O.V

Oh my god, what has she done!? what was that!? Scurrying over, Peeta and I grab Tris' arm and haul her up but we leave Cato to fall in with the mutts. I think he deserves it. Peeta pulls her to the middle of the Cornucopia and we both sit next to her. I could see that her neck is bleeding badly and needs to be treated but we don't have any supplies here. 

'We need to do something about this wound Peeta,'

he gives me a look that says 'I already know.' I know he does but my mind is frazzled. If we dont do something soon, then she'll bleed to death. Suddenly, Peeta get up and walks to the edge of the Cornucopia. He bends down to pick something up and hands it over to me. It's a syringe of some sort but i have no clue whats in it or what it does. So i toss it away but it doesn't fall off so Peeta picks it up and puts it in his pocket. I carry on stroking her head as i see something coming out of her pocket. Its  note. It reads:

They're all here stiff

                               -P

'Hey Peeta, I think you might wanna see this,'

He comes over and sits down next to me. 'From who was this?'

'I don't know but we need to take her body back to Four no mater what she done or the cost. I promised.' As I.m saying this i recite her last words:

'Katniss, take me to him. Keep your promise and i'll keep mine.'

This sends tears down my face. I notice that Peeta is ripping part of his shirt to cover her wound because the syringe went in deep and pulled her skin sideways to make an even bigger wound.

BOOM!!!!!

'NO! Peeta she can't be dead!,' 

But she is which means that were the only ones left and the victors. apparently, but i don't feel like it. I just feel broken and i know why. I means my best friend just died in front of me.

'attention tributes. The previous rule allowing to victors to be crowned has been, revoked. From now on only one tribute may be crowned. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.' 

I turn to Peeta who is already looking directly at me. Im shaking. He widens his body to make him and easier target.  'Go on, you need to go home and be with Prim. You've already suffered enough.'

'No, i won't do it.'

Peeta's P.O.V

I need her to survive because i can't without her. I know that i don't have a chance but at least i got to see her everyday. until now. She throws her stuff on the floor walks over to me and holds the night lock berries in her hand. I immediately cover her hand up when she whispers to me to trust her because she has a plan. I look over at Tris and a tear escapes my eye.

' She was my friend and now shes gone.'  

'On the count of three?' she asks

'One,'

'two,' But before i say three I lean in and kiss her full on the mouth before i do actually die. 

'Three,' i say and slowly raise my hand to my mouth to eat the berries.

'STOP!! Ladies and gentlemen may i present the victors of the 74th annual Hunger Games!'

Oh  my god. We won. we got to go home. I look over at Katniss again but shes not in front of me anymore. She ran to Tris ready to take her body to Four. I run over too and already hear the hover craft ready to take us home.

We both sit in the hovercraft and i can see that Katniss is still next to Tris. All i can think of now is what life would be like when we got home. I get offered a small drink but i don't trust anything that looks so pretty now so i just offer it to Katniss but she refuses it because of the same reason.

When we land The people from the Capitol take Tris on a stretcher with wheels. I refuse to leave Katniss' side when she refuses to leave Tris. Were pretty close to Four and i feel sweat running down my back. I don't know why but I'm really nervous to Fours reaction. Someone opens the door and i Can see a man in black clothing with bruises on his face look at us in horror. I think i need to say something before this gets any worse than they already are.

'umm, we did everything we could but.... well' This is going very well. 'Im sorry Four.' I look over at Katniss, 

'Four, I met Tris in the woods and im her best friend. She old me to take her body to you. Im sorry there was nothing else i could do.' 

She bursts into a sob and runs into my arms. I hold her as i watch Four look over at Tris who is also crying and hes ready to say something. I hate to see Katniss like this. I hate all of this but what else was there to do?

'I saw her. I saw her in the games and I know what you did, thank you. both of you.'

I look at him. He was watching us all along? There's nothing else to do. 

I look at her before leaving the room when i almost forgot. 

'Katniss,' I whisper. she looks at me ' Can i have her note? the one you found in her pocket?' She takes it you and i take out my syringe. He looks at the and immediately takes them from me. Reading the  note something happens that we all would not expect.
