Peeta's POV-
We go out into the woods to hunt because we don't have any food left. Katniss finds a nice spot filled with plenty of life. "Okay, I'll take the bow." I say trying to make a joke out of things.

She gives me a stern look as if she were surprised that I would actually take that weapon. "I'm just kidding." I say as a smile curls across my lips. "I'll go pick some stuff." I say. As I turn around I can see a small grin cross Katniss' face as well. I've never seen her smile before. Not like that.

I go off into the woods to pick some berries and I see a nice patch of some on a bush, that I consider as blue berries. I take off my jacket so I can put the berries on it when I pick them. As I go over to the bush that holds patches among patches of the berries. I set them down on my jacket and just as I'm about to pick a new patch I hear a scream. Katniss' scream.

"Peeta!" Oh my god! She's in trouble.

I start taking off in her detection and my run quickly breaks into a sprint. "Peeta!"

Without me even realizing I run into Katniss and she's whimpering. "Are you okay?!" I ask in a panic. "I heard the cannon..." She cries to me. I feel a tinge of guilt when I realize all the panic she is going through. And it's all my fault.....

"That's nightlock, Peeta! You'd be dead in a minute!" She screams as she slaps the now poisonous berries out of my hands. "I-I didn't know." I say finally. "You scared me to death! Damn you!" Before I have time to issue a full grown apology she wraps me in an embrace. "I'm sorry." I whisper lightly as I wrap my arms around her. "I'm sorry."

We let go of each other and Katniss picks up a handful of nightlock. "What are you doing?!" I say putting my hands on the berries. "Maybe Cato likes berries, too."
