I heard her before I saw her. " Katniss ! " she screamed. I ran as fast as I could smacked tree's and branches on the way. She was tangled in a net. My heart stuttered in my chest. The net was strong and black. A bot appered out of the bushes and shot a spear throught her. " Rue" i gasped and it took a second for me to ready an arrow and shoot it through his neck. I ran to her and let her down. Her body curved around the spear. " no, no, no," i sobbed as i pulled her into me arms. I knew she wasnt going to survive. Tears ran down my face silently. I held her in my arms and rocked back and forth. " stay with me," I encouraged softly. She looked at me with sleepy eyes. I knew she wanst going to survived but i willed her any way. " Come Rue, stay with me ." Rue hand softly touched my face making the tears roll faster. please dont go. I sobbed in my head. I continued to rock back and forth. " Katniss," she whipsered. It was so low I hade to strain to listen. " Yes" i whispered back holding her to me. " Sing," she said. I close my eyes blocking out everything but Rue and I. I sang. I sang untill the forest became quiet and all you could hear was the wind. Rue closed her eyes and her breathing stopped I continued to sing untill the song was over. I laid her down ang gathered flowers to surroud her body. I arranged them as tears stained the petals. i kissed her softly and backed away.
