Warning tide:

"Come away little loss

Come away to the water

To the ones that are waiting only for you"

The night was thick with silvery stars and the voices of fishermen hauling in the catches of the day. On the beach sat Maggie, her toes buried deep in the soft sand as she watched the dark tides roll in and wash away. Shivering slightly from the cold she couldn't keep her mind of what Rigor had told her.

"The Actions of one can erupt into the falling of the same Miss Odair. I advise you to be very careful these next few days. Drastic actions may be put in place is they already haven't..."

He continued on, even though her ears tuned out. Now she stared blankly at the gold net hanging on the wall. Eventually he had excused himself ranting that he had better things to do than antagonize the youth of his district and let the door shut behind him.

After her visit, her feet had led her to the comforting beach. As she still remained after an hour or two.

Letting the wind roll though her curls she laid back into the warm sand, her hands behind her head. Closing her eyes she began to relax, feeling the heaviness of her eyes take over...

"Mags, what are you doing out here?"

The familiar husky voice filled her ears as she groaned and sat up to see Troy walking her way, a small net of fish in his hand.

"I could ask you the same thing you know. Don't you have training tomorrow? "

She shot back. Patting the ground next to her He dropped to the ground wounding his muscular arm around her small shoulders

"Don't you?"

Leaning into him she closed her eyes, trying to regain the comfort from before.

"Nah, Tenniel spoke to my dad earlier and said that Rigor had my training for tomorrow canceled. Figured a night under the sky would be nice"

"Mind if I join you? I think the last time we 'camped' out together was a few months ago. Anyway how did it go with Rigor?"

Shrugging under his weight, she felt the warm heaviness coming again

"Just warned me to watch my place..."

Laughing nervously, Troy leaned back, His best friend still resting in the crook of his shoulder. Looking sideways at her, he yawned quietly.

"Hey Mags, mind if I ask you something?"

Nudging her head, her face was slowly becoming distant.

"Maybe... tomorrow ..."

Tomorrow, The thought lingering in her head for a moment. That's right; the capitol was coming tomorrow to prepare for the games. And with that her eyes won out as she drifted to the depths of sleep.

A/N: okay so I know this is extremely short but I still loved writing this chapter. I'm still kind of sad about the amount of the reviews but the ones that did are the best people ever, and I really appreciate them! So I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the reaping and I'm still thinking about who the tributes will be but for the most part I think I've got it down. Ill be out of town the next few weeks so I thought I would go ahead and update. I'm hoping ill get more reviews when I'm gone and that will give me time to get a jumpstart on the next few chapters. Please don't be a silent reader guys I really do appreciate all comments and thanks for reading!
