Chapter 14: How does Peeta save Katniss's life?

Katniss realizes that the hallucinations engendered by the tracker jackers have begun. She frees the bow just about the time that some of the Careers return. She readies herself to fire but lacks lucidity from the hallucinations, and is unprepared when Peeta comes upon her. Yet not only does he make no effort to kill her, but he in fact insists she run away. As she stands to do so, Cato enters the clearing, and she sees he has been stung under the eye.

She rushes away, running as best she can through hallucinations and trying not to lose herself. But one thing is crystal clear – that Peeta has saved her life.
