Peeta's POV-
The next morning, we all wake up with a start. "Let's go!" Yells Cato to the rest of the pack. "Lover boy, get up!" I quickly pick myself up and begin to lead the pack to where Katniss might be. With a spear in hand I begin too lead them south.
********************************************
We walk for at least two hours, in hopes of finding the girl who was on fire, but we don't see even a trace of her tracks. I'm grateful, because they won't be able to kill Katniss, but I fear every moment, even when I sleep. If I don't find her for them, I'm as good as dead.

We walk past a small pool of water, but don't fill ourselves up with it because we have plenty down by the lake that no one would even dare to come by, because they fear death. And then I see a figure. Her. I see Katniss.

She still wears her jacket. Her hair is tied back in a messy braid and there are ashes on her faces.

What have the game makers done? Have they set a part of the arena on fire in hopes to kill her? Have a they injured her severely? Will she survive? She has too! For Prim!

I don't want to say a word to them. I don't want to tell them about where she is, but we will be approaching her soon.

"Hey guys look!" Marvel screams to the others. "There she is! There she is! Come on!"

Katniss jumps and springs out of the water. She climbs to shore and runs off, but the careers follow her.

I hear the careers screaming comments like, "Where are you going girl on fire?" And "She's mine!"

I follow behind the pack of wild dogs that probably want to eat her alive at this very moment.

I want to help her. I do. But how, is my question. Do I go with her? Sprint to catch up with her and we kill the careers together? No. It's to risky. Even with the two of us, we'd still be outnumbered, and I'm not risking that. I have no choice, but to follow them into the forrest.

The odds are not in my favor today.
