Katniss Everdeen's POV
The party, of sorts, went on for hours. The funny thing was that I never actually saw the person who had arranged this all after about half an hour in. I'd seen her and David talking to Hermione and Ron, and that was the last I'd seen or heard of her. And David. It was definitely odd. I had talked to Peeta, my boyfriend, about it, but he said I shouldn't worry about it. And I didn't. Until Janey West, her best friend, came up to me when Peeta was going to get drinks.
"Hey, Katniss?" she said. "Have you seen Kathy?"
"No," I replied. "I figured you'd know where she went."
"I don't, she didn't tell me," she frowned. "And nobody I ask seems to know where she is."
"What's going on?" Peeta asked, handing me a drink.
"Nobody seems to know where Kathy and David went," I answered.
"Oh," Peeta said grimly.
"I'm really worried, because it's nearly midnight," Janey said.
"They were talking to Ron and Hermione the last time I saw them," I said. "Maybe those two know where they went."
We approached the table where they were sitting, laughing and having a pretty good time.
"Hey, guys," Peeta said.
"Hey," Hermione and Ron said together.
"Do you guys know where Kathy and David went," Janey asked.
"Yeah they said they were going to the "Slender Man Forest"," Ron said.
"Are they not back yet?" Hermione asked, concerned.
"No," Janey said. "When did they tell you they were going?"
"Hours ago," Hermione said.
"Should someone go looking for them?" I asked. "It's after midnight."
"I suppose. But shouldn't we go in a group? It is the "Slender Man Forest", after all," Ron said, and then wiggled his eyebrows.
"Ron," Hermione scolded.
"Well, we should get a group, because I don't really want to go into a forest this time of night by myself," Janey said.
"Well, I'll go," I volunteered.
"So will I," Peeta said. Hermione and Ron said they'd come as well.
"We should tell someone where we're going," I said.
"Yeah, you're right," Janey said. She walked over to Gale Hawthorne, who was talking to Madge Undersee, Cato Sterous, and Clove Thorne.
"We're going to the "Slender Man Forest" to find Kathy and David," she said.
"Slender Man has a forest here? I definitely want to see that," Gale said, and Cato was nodding vehemently behind him.
"I wouldn't mind seeing either," Clove said.
"Same here," Madge said.
"All right, but we have to let someone know where we're going," Janey said, and turned in the direction of Luna Lovegood, then seemed to change her mind. She walked up to the front of the room.
"Can I have your attention, everybody," she called. Her voice was quite shrill, and carried easily, so everyone fell silent almost immediately.
"We are going to the "Slender Man Forest" because Kathy and David went there and they aren't back yet. I would like to know who wants to come along to see the forest."
Almost everyone's hand went up fairly quickly, and calls of "Awesome" or "Definitely" came from around the room. After a few moments of deliberation, though, the rest of the hands went up, most likely from seeing all of the other people that would be going.
"All right," Janey continued. "Everyone wants to go. Well then, we can all go."
The room erupted in noises of excitement of being able to go see the forest.
"Well, it sounds like people really wanted to go," Peeta said to me. I nodded.
Everyone filed out of the ballroom and navigated the hallways and spilled out into the parking lot. Peeta and I headed to Cato's car, the car we'd come here in. Thalia pulled out first as her car had the only people that would actually no where this forest was, and everyone else followed them. Off we went to the Slender Man Forest.
