Katniss made the tracker jakcer hive fall down. I ran away as fast as possible and didn't look back. I heard some canons and wondered if they belonged to Katniss. Maybe I should go back for her? No, I better don't risk it.
I climbed a tree and waited for the night to start. It soon did and I saw Glimmer, a girl from 4, Katniss and Peeta.
So Katniss didn't make it out. It made me sad because I thought that she would be a good ally. Maybe if I went back, I could save her?
But there's no time for thinking of that I have to survive the games. I have to focus to do so.

...

I decided to look for Thresh. Many days passed and I didn't found him which made me slowly lose hope. Luckily, I had a lot of water and some food. But the careers had more. They had so much supplies in the Cornucopia and I couldn't do anything about it. Not alone.
Suddenly, I heard a blow up near the Cornucopia. Someone must have destroyed their supplies.
Because of the thought of them losing, I didn't notice when I stepped in a trap. I started freaking out when I was covered in a some rope.
"Look, who we got." Marvel from 1 came to me. I started crying by the look of the spear.
"Thresh! Thresh!" I yelled desperately. I wanted to make him think that we Thresh is close.
Marvel looked around and then realized that no one is coming.
"He won't come, that's so sad." He laughed.
"No! Please!" I cried.
I was screaming, shaking, I didn't want to die.
"Stop moving!" He kicked me in the stomach and I screamed from pain. His hits were too much for my small body.
The sharp spear was about to stab me when someone from behind broke Marvel's neck.

It was Thresh.

"Thresh!" I was so happy to see him.
"Rue!" He untied me and helped me stand up.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"My stomach hurts because he kicked me but I'm okay." I said.
"I'm here now, don't worry."
Thresh hugged me closely and I felt safe. I didn't fell like that on the arena yet but with him around, I knew that nothing bad can happen to me.

...

Next day, we started to look for food. We saw Foxface's camp on the ground. She was sleeping and her supplies were unprotected.
Thresh was coming nearer her with a sickle but I took his hand.
"Don't kill her." I said.
"Why?"
"She didn't do anything. Let's just steal her supplies but don't kill her."
Thresh nodded ans we took all of her food and water leaving an empty backpack.

She had a lot of food. Sweet cheese, beef, strawberries and a loaf of bread.
"Thresh?"
"Yes?"
"Can you make a promise?" I asked.
"Ofcourse."
"Don't kill unless necessary, okay?"
"Okay." He smiled softly and patted my hair.
Most people sees him as a though and dangerous guy. But I know that he is soft and emotional.

...

Days with Thresh were very nice. He tried to make me feel like I wasn't on the Hunger Games. He joked to me and let me sing to mockingjays. He even tried singing me to sleep once.
One day, we heard the feast announcement.
"Should we go?" I asked.
"No, there are a lot of tributes there." He said.
He was right, too many people will go there and it's too risky. Besides, we don't need much stuff.

...

That night I had a nightmare. I was crying in Thresh's arms when he ran his fingers through my hair.
Then I saw Foxface's face on the sky, she probably got killed on the feast.
"I want to go home." I whispered.
"You will go home." He replied.
"But no 12 year old had ever won the games."
"There's always has to be the first time." He smiled.

...

While walking through the forest we saw Cato. I immediately got terrified but he didn't see us yet.
"Climb that tree and don't let him see you." Thresh told me.
I did what he said and watched as Cato fought with Thresh.
They were very brutal, Cato hurted Thresh a lot but in the end it was Thresh who stabbed Cato in the heart.

I got off the tree and ran up to Thresh.
"Are you okay?!" I cried.
"I'm okay." It was obviously a lie since he was bleeding from many places.
I took him to a cave near and started putting bandages over his wounds. I didn't forget to disinfect them first. He had one on his leg and two on his arm. I was very worried that he will bleed out to death but I stayed focused.
"Thank you." He said when I was done.
"You should eat something." I took out the beef and gave some to him.

...

I was worried that Thresh wouldn't be able to move around because of his wounds. But he was feeling quite good and we were walking around the arena.
Suddenly we saw giant mutts from behind. They were terrifying and I almost froze from fear. Thresh picked me up as he ran away.
He threw me on the top of the Cornucopia and got there himself.
"It's going to be okay." He hugged me and I could feel his racing heart.
I saw Clove being ripped apart just before Thresh covered my eyes so I don't have to see it.

It was just me and him now.

"What now?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, Rue." He started crying and I couldn't understand why he was apologising.
Then he stabbed himself with a sickle and fell on the ground.
"No!!" I yelled.

I was announced the victor but I didn't care. All I cared about was Thresh and that he killed himself to save me.

Rue from District 11 became the youngest victor ever.
