Rue and Katniss

I wonder how long I could have watched Katniss before she knew I was watching her. I had watched her for a long time. She must not of had a pair of the night vision glasses. Those were the glassed we used in District 11 to see at night. I could of killed Katniss a long time ago, she wouldn’t have know who or what hit her. That would have made one less person I would of had to worry about. But I am glad I chose not to kill her because we were a great team. Where ever I fell short with the knowledge of the woods. Katniss was there to help me and vise versa.

I thought it was really kind hearted of me to tell Katniss about the tracker jackets nest that was above her head. If those things would have gotten to her she might not have been there to help me. That would have been another way to get rid of her, but I knew for some reason we would become friends. Katniss had taught me a lot in little time we were together and I know the Capitol and the game makers were not happy with us because we were not suppose to befriend one another. This game was suppose to be about killing the next person.

Katniss and I chose to form an alliance, we would watch each others back. We showed each other what we could and could not eat. I had never had a friend like her before.

Rue

As I was sitting there thinking about my new found friend Katniss. I wondered what today will have in store for us. I wondered if I would be lifted up in the hovercraft or will someone run into my knife and die. I really didn’t like the idea of killing people but it's kill or be killed. I was hoping I would have survived the torture the were putting us through. I had only lived a short time, and even though this is a mean world I would have liked to stay around a few more years. And hoped I never would of had to go through anything like that again.

Katniss really showed me she cares about me. I wonder what would have happen if it came down to the two of us in the end. How long would she have let me live, would she have the guts to kill me herself. I wondered where she was as I sat and sang to the mockingjay’s. Again the mockingjay’s would sing the same tune I had tought them and it would be a sign to Katniss that I’m ok. I had not heard from her all morning. As theday went on still not Katniss.. Until..

I tried I really did try to call out to Katniss to let her know I was on the ground and trapped in a net. As soon as she got there the spear entered my stomach. I was shot by the boy from District 11. This was enough to take me out. As I lay there with the spear in my stomach, dying, Katniss stayed by my side. I asked her to sing me a song, the song was beautiful, then I died. Katniss decorated my body with flowers.

Thresh spare her life because she took care of me.

In the end the gamemakers brought all the dead tributes back as mutts to torture the tributes that were left.
