Peeta back stabbed Katniss to protect her. Peeta wants Katniss to win so that she can go back for Prim and her mother, and also he has loved her since the first day of school. He is trying to protect Katniss, so he joins with the Careers and does all he can to keep them away from her by misleading them. When they find her in the tree, Peeta is not there, so Cato tries to climb the tree to get to her, but breaks a branch in the attempt. Then, Peeta gets there and suggests that they wait until she comes down because, "she can't stay up there forever." That gives her more time, and thankfully, Haymitch sends her some burn cream from her encounter with the fireballs. Mainly, Peeta joined the Careers to make sure of Katniss' safety.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Katniss called out to Peeta to find him because the Gamemakers made a rule that you could team up with the person from your district.

I would need to know more. In which book are you looking for? Hunger Games, Catching Fire or Mocking Jay?
