Buildup: Katniss meets her male partner, Peeta Mellark, during the reaping and undergoes training with him and their mentor, Haymitch. When they enter the games, Katniss runs away from the other contestants into the woods. She runs into Peeta with the career tributes and drops a trackerjacker nest onto them to escape, killing two contestants, getting stung in the process, and developing hallucinations. Peeta survives this and tells her to run away from Cato. She teams up with Rue and destroys the career's supplies using their own mine trap. However, Rue ends up getting caught and killed by another tribute, and Katniss buries her in flowers. This is when the rule allowing a pair of tributes from the same district to both be victors is announced, and she finds a heavily wounded Peeta before taking him to a cave. A "feast" is held in the Cornucopia from which she gets him life-saving medicine, and then a 2-day-long storm starts. When this ends, they go hunting and foraging and accidentally kill Foxface with nightlock berries before going to a pond for water.
