Authors Note: Hey everybody!! Thanks to my 15 visits. Any chance of a review? I just read over chapters 5-9 and they seem to be lacking the (meh) quality of these 4 which are already so-so. Soooo… a review might bring them ALL up to scratch!!! Okay? Okay.

Disclaimer: Guess what! Okay don't guess, you will never figure it out. I DON'T OWN THE HUNGER GAMES

CHAPTER 4

I wake from horrible nightmare early the next morning. Mother was shrieking for mercy as Capitol people shot at her. Starting at her ankles, and working their way up to her heart. I knew I could wake up from the dream, but also Mother felt so real. I wanted to be there for her through the unbearable pain attacking her body.

The sun is only just rising, letting it's rays bounce of particles in the atmosphere and throwing colours of red and orange across the horizon. I love sunrises and sunsets. They brighten the beginning of a day and sooth the end of one.

Nite is curled up against my body. I see that tears are running down his face and he is shivering. It isn't cold out, but obviously he will be suffering from especially horrid night terrors just as I did. First I wipe some tears from his plump cheeks, however the tears continue to leak from the corners of Nite's eyes, following the same track every time. I put my hand on Nites arm and squeeze it gently. Nite wakes with what would have been a scream, but I have practice waking him up from bad dreams and my hand was ready by Nite's mouth.

When I am sure that there will not be any especially loud sound emenating from Nite's mouth I remove my hand. He breathes heavily and I lie down again, curling my figure around his, trying to give protection. I give Nite a hug which I hope sent some of my security to him.

Once Nite and myself have gathered out scarce belongings together we sit close closely on the deep ochre soil to arrange what we do or where we flee next.

"Fern." Says Nite. He grasps I can't deny his wish to save her. I will try, I only hope that Nite doesn't expect us to succeed such a hopeless task.

"Yes, we have to help her----and Rute." I divulge. Fern is my priority, none the less I have shared a history with Rute and I will do my damn best to rescue him as well. Rute doesn't mean as much to Ignite, he only hesitantly nods his head in agreement to my afterthought.

"How can we help her?" asks Nite uncertainly I reply,

"By pursuing the districts, I think. The Capitol is at the end, and also by following the districts we can see if the Capitol posts any news on the television."

"Okay…" agrees Nite, as his shoulders slump.

I know this body language from Nite. He is anticipating the lengthy journey we will overtake. This trip I devise is a lot for me, but for a seven year old boy it is arduous.
