Hiding. That's most of what I do. I am thirsty and hungry. The forest is mostly quiet. Then I hear footsteps. Closer and closer. I see the shimmer of the shiny metal. A knife? A sword? I don't want to stay and find out. I can make out a face. I think it is Rue. Not Rue. I edge my way around the rock I am hiding behind. I feel the cold, green, furry moss on my back through my thin, black t - shirt. The girl edges around the rock to meet me. I make a run for it and sprint away from the rock. 

She is following me. Sprinting after me. I see a small opening in the forest. Water! I actually see water. I dive into it. When I was training with Rue, I learnt that she wasn't the strongest swimmer. I never learnt to swim but in the small lesson I had in the training arena, I learnt some simple strokes. 

I dive into the water, splashing my way to get deeper. I start to swim, pulling myself through the water. I hear splashes behind me. Rue is coming. Then I see a small group of people at the waters edge on the other side. I thinks its the careers. Great. Arrows start flying at my head. I think it is from Clove. I'm trapped. There is no where to go. The careers are starting to make their way down the bank and into the water. Rue is still struggling behind me. Thick vines cover the sides of the lake. There is no way to get through them. I am dead. I know I'm dead. I can't survive this. "Prim! Prim!" Rue is yelling. "Prim! This way! Come on! Trust me! I'm your ally", Rue calls to me. I have no choice I swim over to her and we help eachother out of the water.

We run together as quick as we can. I decide I can't stay with Rue. She left me to die, even though she did just save me. I can't trust her. "This way", Rue calls from infront of me. She turns left and runs up a small hill and then she is out of sight. This is my chance. I turn right and run faster down the hill. 

Katniss' point of view...

The interview destroyed me. Peeta loved Prim. I bursted into tears and refused to come out of my room. I only came out to watch the Hunger Games as we were forced to or we die. I didn't want Prim to die but I was so angry at her. How dare she! She knew I loved Peeta and then she went and took him from me.
