The Hunger Games: Peeta's Perspective

chapter 22

This chapter is dedicated to my good friend who sadly and unexpectedly passed away last week. They were a great friend and will forever be in my heart:(

Suddenly Katniss came running towards me fear wide in her eyes. "I whistled but you never replied, I thought you were dead." she said.
"sorry I didn't hear you." I said apologeticly.
"OK I forgive you but who died?" asked Katniss.
"I don't know, have some berries, they will calm your nerves." I said. I bent down to my pile of berries and the little bread we had left.

"someones taken a bite out of the bread." I said. I held out some berries to Katniss. She took them and inspected them. I was about to put them in my mouth when Katniss hit my hand and the berries were sent flying. " what was that for?" I asked.
"you picked the wrong ones! They will kill you in a second!" she exclaimedjust as I started to say sorry katniss jumped in. "I understand, it's an easy mistake to make, the leaves are a different shape and the juice is crimson, like blood."
"let's get moving, it'll be dark soon." I said. After about a few minutes of walking we came across a body. It was a girl who's face was sleek and pale white. "who is it?" I asked
"Foxface." said Katniss "they must of cleared the body because we were too close."
I walked around her body, looking for any signs of what had killed her. Katniss bent down and opened her clenched fist. She took something out and held it up to me.

Berries

***
Katniss took the berries and put them in a small pouch. "why armed you keeping them?" I asked.
"in case we need to use them to kill Cato." she replied. We had reached the cave by nightfall and settled down to sleep. The next morning Katniss explained about how she had left all of her game in the forest when I hadn't replied to her whistle and how she wanted to get it because it might make a trail back to our hiding spot. We were walking through the forest when Katniss heard footsteps. I heard them to but they defiantly were not human. Suddenly out through the bushes a pack of dog like mutts crashed into us. Katniss grabbed me and we ran for out lives. We ran through the forest to the cornucopia, Katniss climbed it but my bad leg was slowing me down. Katniss reached out her hand, I grabbed it and she pulled me up. The mutts were snarling below me, I was half way up the cornucopia when a mutt grabbed my bad leg with it teeth. Katniss pulled me harder and I was finally on the cornucopia, I was safe.

Or so I thought.
