-katniss-
i grabbed my bow and arrows, and handed prim the bag.
they all had their weapons of choice. i gasped as i saw someone emerge from the career crowd. johanna.
"you, are with the careers?" finnick asked.
"duh!" she yelled.
she swung her axe at me, hitting me in the same place brutus did earlier.
"ah!" i yelled.
i took out an arrow and let it fly at the girl from two. it hit her in the head.
"twenty-four." i whispered to myself.
i saw fog coming towards us. the boy from district one touched it, and he screamed in pain. blisters formed all over his hand.
"guys run!" i yelled.
the careers ran in one direction, while we ran in the other. my leg was hurting a lot worse, and you could see the blood through my pants. the fog was coming quickly.
i fell on the ground from exhaustion.
peeta ran over to me and pulled me up.
"let's go." he said.
we ran as fast as we could, but i started to get dizzy. too much blood loss from when johanna hit me with her axe.
"i can't go any longer." i whined, struggling to stay on my feet.
"come on. just a little longer." peeta said.
but the truth was, niether of us knew when or where this was going to end.
we caught up to everyone else. i slowed down. with every step, the pain got worse, and i got dizzier.
i eventually couldn't take it anymore, and collapsed.
"katniss what are you doing!" prim said.
mags jumped off of finnick and pointed at me. she ran into the fog.
"mags!" finnick yelled, running after her.
gale jumped in front of finnick, stopping him.
"come on." prim said.
finnick put me on his back and we kept going.

i jumped off finnick's back and ran down a hill. i tripped on a branch and rolled to the bottom.
i crashed into a tree.
"ow." i whispered.
i shook my head and stood up, grabbing the tree for balance.
i looked around. no one was there. i heard voices from behind me.
"pfft. they'll be easy. twelve's all kids. the so called brave girl and her little sister. her best friend and finally, lover. they'll all be dead in the next day or so."
i looked through the trees and saw the careers sitting on some thick tree branches.
"so, what's the plan?" the boy from two asked.
"i found them all down by the beach not too long ago. so, knowing they're staying there, we are all going to sneak in there and take them while they're sleeping. then, when they're all far away, we kill them." enobaria smiled.
they all stood up and started walking my way. i panicked and started to climb a tree.
"hey! there she is!" the girl from one said, pointing at me.
"nice job anne." brutus said.
so that's her name.
everyone looked up and i kept climbing.
"come and get me!" i yelled.
i stopped about 60 feet off the ground. i looked down and gasped.
anne was holding about 15 knives. she threw one up into the trees and it hit a branch just above my head. i sighed with relief. she threw another one and it hit my hand. i screamed in pain.
"that is it." i whispered.
i pulled out an arrow and aimed it at anne's head. then i let go and she fell to the ground.
"you have a lot of nerve!" cashmere yelled.
"awww, thanks." i replied.
i climbed down from the tree and ran off.
