Peeta
The girl from District 2 stands triumphantly in front of me. She’s dangerous, this girl, but if I can get close enough, I know I can overpower her physically. I fetch the spear I tossed aside earlier and barely miss the knife she tosses in my direction as I stand back up. I summon all the strength I have left and use it to toss the spear. It misses, though I knew it wouldn’t have done much damage even if it hit her. This distracts her enough to tackle her down, though I only have the upper-hand for a moment.
“Get him, Cato!” I hear the girl yell. Before I have time to even blink, I’m pinned face-down by the massive boy from District 2. He’s sitting on top of me, threatening my head with his bloodied sword. And suddenly, I know what I can do. I know how I can save Katniss.
“Wait!” I shout, clearly out of breath. “I know her secret!”
