She purifies the water, drinks, eats, and later rests. Day 4: Katniss is awakened by a wall of fire, which the Gamemakers have created. As she runs, she gets hit by a fireball on her calf, but manages to reach another pond by sunrise which eases her burns. While resting and recovering, Katniss hears the Careers coming towards her.
They spot her and chase her into the forest. Katniss quickly hides in a tree where they can't reach her. Because they can't reach Katniss, they make camp under the tree to wait for Katniss to come down at some point. Katniss also gets her first sponsor gift: burn medicine for her leg and welted hands. When night falls, Rue appears in the tree next to her and points out the tracker jacker nest above Katniss' head. While the anthem plays, Katniss begins sawing at the branch that the nest is hanging from.
Day 5: At dawn, the tracker jacker nest finally fell on the ground and began to attack the Careers and Peeta. Glimmer and the girl from District 4 died from the stings. Rue escaped, but all the others, including Katniss, got stung. Katniss was able to get the bow and arrows from Glimmer's corpse shortly before the hovercraft took away Glimmer.
She sees Peeta, but he sends her away instead of killing her just before Cato appears. Afterwards, Katniss was not able to tell if this really happened or not, because she was hallucinating from the tracker jacker venom.
She then finally loses consciousness. Day 6: According to Rue, Katniss slept for two nights. Her sleep was punctuated by several terrifying nightmares. Day 7: Katniss finally wakes up from her fevery dreams and resumes hunting and seeking water.
Rue, who must have been following her, appears, and teams up with Katniss. As she and Rue begin to fall asleep, Katniss begins formulating a plan. Day 8: Rue and Katniss wake to the cannon shot for the boy from District 10, who was most likely killed by the Careers. Katniss and Rue made plans for destroying the Careers' stock of food and supplies. While Rue starts three fires in the woods which lure the Careers away from the Cornucopia, Katniss made it to the camp and discovered that the supplies were piled away from the camp and guarded by the boy from District 3.
She sees Foxface carefully approach the pyramid of supplies to steal food and discovers by her movement that the Careers had buried the mines from the starting platforms around the stock. Katniss blows the whole stock up by shooting an arrow through a net of apples, which fall and trigger the mines.
The explosion blows her off her feet, causing her to go deaf in her left ear, but she manages to crawl under a bush just as the Careers arrive. Cato is so furious that he kill the District 3 boy by breaking his neck.
Katniss spends the night under a bush. Day 9: When she awakens, Katniss is still deaf in her left ear, but the right one can hear Foxface laughing at the Careers' loss. She returns to the rendezvous spot, but since Rue has not returned, she spends the afternoon in a tree to wait, but later decides to search for her. At first finding no sign of Rue, she eventually heard Rue's four note tune coming from the mockingjays, then her scream. When Katniss finds her, Rue was captured in a net by Marvel, the boy from District 1, who kills her by tossing a spear through her abdomen before Katniss can free her.
Immediately, Katniss kills him by shooting an arrow in his neck, then frees Rue from the net but can't help her except hold her and sing to her until she dies.
Then she arranges wild flowers around the body as one last act of their alliance and defiance to the Capitol, for making them pawns in their twisted game. She walks away without really knowing where to go or what to do, when a parachute arrives with a loaf of bread from District 11, Rue's district. Day Feeling lost, Katniss forces herself to sort her supplies and hunt.
She thinks about revenge on the Careers for Rue's death. In the evening, the Gamemakers announce a change to the rules of the game: there can be two victors if they come from the same district. Suddenly, Katniss goes to find Peeta. Day Katniss follows the stream, hoping to find Peeta. She finds him buried and covered in his self made camouflage at a river bank. He is so weak and badly injured that he can't get out there alone anymore, so Katniss pulls him out, washes him and tends to his stings, burns, fever, and the cut on his leg.
They both seek shelter in a cave, but Peeta's fever isn't going away. To keep him from speaking pessimistically, Katniss kisses him, which also keeps up the appearance of being "madly in love.
Day Peeta's fever has broken, but Katniss is exhausted and Peeta makes her sleep the rest of the morning. By afternoon, Peeta's leg has gotten worse: he has blood poisoning. Katniss spends the day hunting and cooking while Peeta lies in the cave.
In the evening, the Gamemakers announce that there will be a feast at the Cornucopia tomorrow, where every tribute will find what they most desperately need. Immediately, Peeta makes Katniss promise not to go because its too dangerous. Later on, a parachute arrives from Haymitch containing sleep syrup, with which Katniss can knock out Peeta for the whole time she needs to get to the Cornucopia and get the medicine.
She leaves before dawn. Day Katniss reaches the Cornucopia and finds Foxface running out of the Cornucopia to grab her backpack immediately after they're placed.
Katniss makes a run for it, but is attacked by Clove. Katniss shoots an arrow at her but misses. The boy from District 1 catches Rue in a trap, and kills her; Katniss kills him in revenge. Two deaths today:. I see the boy from District 1, Rue. I let him drift off to sleep then and attend to my own needs, wolfing down a supper of groosling and roots while I watch the daily report in the sky. No new casualties. Three quiet days in a row, but the Gamemakers announce a Feast: each of the remaining tributes will have a gift left at the Cornucopia.
They want to shake things up. I watch the sky, hoping for one less opponent at dawn, but nobody appears tonight. Tomorrow there will be faces up there. Feasts always result in fatalities. The Feast gets violent. Thresh kills Clove as revenge for Rue. We hear neither cannon blast nor the anthem today; nobody dies. All we get is Katniss and Peeta falling asleep for the night:. Several times, I drift off briefly and then snap awake, guilty and angry with myself.
Just like that. Her guess is pretty close:. How long have I been gone? Peeta gathers some nightlock berries, which get stolen by Foxface. The sky lights up with the seal, and I watch Foxface shine in the sky and then disappear from the world forever. Towards the end of the day, Katniss and Peeta make their way to the lake, expecting a confrontation with Cato. They meet him, but get chased by Muttations up to the Cornucopia. In the ensuing struggle, Cato falls into the pack of Mutts.
When a heavily wounded Cato wanders back into range of the Cornucopia, Katniss performs a mercy killing. Shortly afterwards, Katniss and Peeta pull their stunt with the nightlock berries, and the games are over.

While digging through the book to answer a question about the time limit on the games , it seems that a typical length was several weeks: The twenty-four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland.
Improve this question. Community Bot 1. She manages to put the fire out, but her hands and calf are seriously injured. Eventually the attack ends and Katniss walks until she finds a small pool. The water soothes the burns. She knows she should keep going, but the pain is too great when she takes her leg out of the pool, so she spends the day there recovering.
In the afternoon, however, she hears footsteps, and without any alternative she finds a tree and climbs as quickly as possible. Katniss notices that a girl named Glimmer has the bow and arrows from the Cornucopia. A large and dangerous looking boy named Cato begins climbing up after Katniss, but he falls out of the tree. The group decides to wait Katniss out. Unable to go anywhere, Katniss prepares her bed in the tree.
As night falls, she recognizes Rue, the girl tribute from District 11, in a nearby tree, and she realizes Rue has been there the whole time. Katniss thinks it is probably a tracker jacker nest. Trackers jackers are another mutation created by the Capitol during the war with the districts. They will follow anything that disturbs them and try to kill it.
Katniss thinks her only chance of escaping may be to drop the nest onto the tributes below. To avoid drawing the wasps to herself, she decides to saw the branch off during the anthem, which always plays before the dead tributes of the day are projected in the sky.
When the anthem starts, Katniss climbs up and saws at the branch holding the nest, but the anthem ends before she finishes so she decides to wait until morning. When she gets back to her sleeping bag, she sees a gift that Haymitch must have gotten from her sponsors and sent during the anthem.
Grateful, she falls asleep.
