As I slip away farther and father from the cornucopia the more I feel free.the wild chilly air gives me a feeling of freedom and the vast field gives me a adrenaline rush.im like a caged animal that's just been set free!now I can do what I want and not have to worry about Rue or Thresh paying the price.i run threw the grain and stop at a small stream to fill my canister,then lay back and look at the stars.as long as I have my bow,I am safe.I wonder what Katniss is doing.i imagine that she is talking with Gale,out far in the woods,if she is still alive.Clove should meet Katniss,they would be best friends!they are a lot alike!I wish one of them were here.then I hear a rustle in the bush behind me.i go to grab my bow,but it's gone!I leap to my feet and take out the knife Clove had given me and run in the direction of the noise.i hear a thud and run as fast as I can.i get to a clearing and I see the foxfaced tribute with my bow lying on the ground.she struggles to get up but cringes every time she moves her right ankle.i grab my bow and turn to leave when I think of my mother,how she tried to help people.i lean down next to her and whisper,"it's ok,I'm gonna help your ankle".she just stares at me.i look at her ankle and it's got a deep cut from where the sharp rock she stumbled over must have cut here.its swollen too,so I open my bag.to my delight everything has been untouched by the careers.i take out the jasmine pedals Rue gave me for my wrist.before i lay them on here ankle,I wash the cut with some water.then I put the pedals on and rap some cloth I cut from my shirt around it.after doing this I help her up and then walk away with my bow."Primrose!" she says in a load whisper.i turn to see here."Thank you" she says in a soft quite voice.I curtsey,"your welcome" then head off back in the grain.its beginning to become daylight when i hear a faint voice singing.Rue.as I walk towards Rue,I hear the words of the song more clearly,"my little sunshine,my only sunshine.you make me happy when skies are gray.you'll never know dear how much I love you please don't take my sunshine away",then repeats it.i vaguely remember the song from my childhood.i hum along as I wake towards the smoke from their fire."My only sunshine,My only sunshine.You make me happy when skies are gray.you'll never know dear how much-",then there's a high pitched scream.
