Peeta!

Katniss sat crying against a rock for a long time until suddenly, she felt something pull on her shoe. She turned to see what it was and there was no one there. Then, she heard a voice say "Boo," and suddenly the rock she'd been leaning on had eyes and a mouth. It was Peeta! She started digging him up, and pulled him up. No Tracker Jacker stings somehow. He had dark bruises on his neck from Cato, but that wasn't the worst of it. She goes completely pale when she looks at the cut on his leg. It has to be around 6 inches deep. "Katniss?" Peeta says in a quiet voice. She can't even respond. She pulls Peeta into her arms, and holds him close, never wanting to let him go. She can feel how warm he is. A fever, definitely. She has no idea what to do, she can't help him! Her mother is the healer, not her. She starts to cry, scared that he'll die. "Don't cry Katniss, it'll be okay. I love you." She can't stop. "I love you too." She helps him take his clothes off and washes them in the stream while trying her best not to get a glimpse of his naked body. She helps him get into the stream to wash off. He can barley move on his own. She treats his burns with the ointment. She helps him back into his clothes, and tries to do something about his leg. She has nothing she can use to treat it, so she tries to drain some of the pus, which takes forever, before covering it with some moss to prevent him from losing anymore blood. She helps him stand up, but he can't walk, so she puts his arm over her shoulder and carries him along the stream. She finds a nice little cave, and pulls him in. He's shivering, even though it's just cooling down. She gets out her sleeping bag and slips him inside it. "Here, you need to eat." She says, pulling the leftover bird from the night before out of her pack. Although, he doesn't feel hunger at all, he eats it anyway. Claudius Templesmith's voice booms into the arena suddenly. He says, "Attention tributes, there has been a rule change. Two victors may be crowned, if both come from the same district." Her and Peeta exchange a look, before she throws her arms around him, and kisses his lips. They only break away when they have a desperate need for air. But who else does this affect? Not Marvel and Cato, Glimmer and Clove are dead. Not Thresh or Foxface, and who else is left? She realizes that her and Peeta are the only ones it affects, everyone else's district partners are dead. They've never been happier, realizing they can both go back to District 12!
