I didn't get very many reviews on my last chapter... Sorry it wasn't that great. This chapter is longer and more interesting. I'm going to try and finish this book by the end of the month. I have a great story for fox face so i want to start that. So R&R Please!


Stay far behind thats what I am going to do. She will never see me, I'll follow her and help when she needs it. I mean she lives in district 12. She can't know anything about forests. 1,2,3... I count the canon as it goes off 12. 12 tributes died in the blood bath. I survived it! I wonder if Thresh did as well. I saw him run away but i wonder if someone caught up to him. I hope he's ok. He left me, but he must have a good reason.

I sit in a tree not too far from the cornucopia. I start to hear a faint dinging noise, I look up and see a parachute coming my way. I reach up and snatch it out of the air, I don't want anyone to know I am up here. Quickly I look to make sure no one is around that heard it. Then I open the parachute and find a small dagger. Some thing that will help me a lot. I can us it to cut food from a tree or to catch an animal.

I see Katniss a few yards ahead of me sitting on a rock looking through the supplies she grabbed. Quietly I get closer too see what she has. An empty water bottle, some rope, a knife and a sleeping bag. She starts to get up, so i begin to follow her. Getting through these trees is a breeze, they are so close together it's as easy as walking on the forest floor. Katniss stops for a second and touches the ground. I start to hear water, we found a water source! She fills up her water bottle and packs it away. As she walks away I look around and slowly come down from the tree.

I pluck one of the trees leaves and use it as a cup. It's effective, sticking the leaf in the water it fills quickly. I bring the leaf's edge up to my lips and feel the cold water fill my mouth and soothingly go down my strangely dry throat. I don't have anything to store the water so I know I have to stay near the lake. I decide to stay on the ground so I can see what kind of berry bushes they have. I'm not too hungry but since I have a pouch on my belt its better to be safe than sorry.

There are berries that I recognize and some i don't. I choose to stay far away from the ones that I don't because I see the dark berries that killed my poor dog when my little brother gave them to it. I am just thankful my brother didn't eat any. I find the deliciously sweet pink tropis. Popping some in my mouth I don't even have to bite into one to taste the sweetness of them. I can fit about two handfuls into the pouch. The arena begins to darken and the temperature begins to dip.

I begin to shiver my lips and nails turn blue. I know that if I don't find any warmth or shelter I will freeze to death. I find a nook at the bottom of a huge tree, I climb into it and throw leaves over myself. It provides little warmth but at least I am not turning blue anymore. The anthem plays as the fallen tributes are being shown into the sky. I'm severely hoping Thresh is okay. After the last tribute from district 10 disappears I let out the breath I was holding. I make sure that Katniss is still in the tree I saw her climb, she is all wrapped up in her sleeping bag. All i can think is lucky. After i close my eyes, they flash open when I smell smoke. About Five miles north of where I am, I see the flickering light of a fire.

Oh my goodness! What is the tribute thinking? Everyone knows not to create a fire in the Hunger Games. Or well smart tributes know. As if on cue I hear a sharp scream and then laughing. The ruthless careers walk right under the tree where Katniss is. My heart is racing so fast. They are laughing and enjoying themselves, its disgusting. Something catches me off guard, the boy that came with Katniss he is with the careers. I try and look at her face I see anger. Anger and Hurt. They walk off towards the Cornucopia, I am thankful they didn't see Katniss or I.

The boy Peeta, I think is his name. I can't believe he back stabbed Katniss like that. Yesterday just a day ago he said he was in love with her. Now he is working with the Careers? You can't trust a sole in the Games.

I handle my thoughts and snuggle under the leaves and try to close my eyes again. Again my eyes fly open when I hear someone close. I don't move a muscle, because who ever it is, Is right in front of me. I must be camouflaged because she doesn't see me. It's the redheaded girl, she is limping she has something sticking out of her leg. The girl sticks a thick branch in her mouth and pulls the spear out of her leg. She pulls out some leaves and wraps them around her wound. She takes a few breaths before she gets up and tries to run away, she stumbles a few times then finally takes off. The leaves I think I know them we use them in the hospitals back in 11. They are healing leaves.

Again I close my eyes coming in and out of consciousness. I give up on sleep, when I see light coming from the horizon, my throat is dry again. I decide to go back to the lake again. This time I climb up the trees. Looking around Katniss seems to be asleep still and no one else is around. I do as I did last time with the leaf, the coast is still clear I take a few pink tropis in my hand and I eat them slowly savoring the flavor. Then I hear a loud SNAP! from above me. I take cover my heart is still out of my chest, when I look up I'm surprised to see a mockingjay.

There are Mockingjays in the arena? We have these at home. They are beautiful majestic birds, they helped us to communicate in 11. I'm surprised they have these particular hybrids, The Games usually have nasty terrible types of creatures. Last year there were bears ferocious terrifying mutant looking bears, they killed a lot of the tributes. It was scary to watch, I can't imagine being there. I look up at the Mockingjays and smile. This gives me a sense of relief. Knowing they have these beautiful birds here could help me in the future.

I take a few more sips of water and re climb the tree. I climb higher this time just to get a glimpse of the birds. I whistle a 4 note tune I listen quietly as the mockingjays whistle back the same tube. I smile but I am stilled when I see that strange redheaded girl again. She Does what I did and takes a leaf fills it with water and drinks it. I can't help but think she is following me. I watch her run back into the trees and disappear. I make double sure she is gone and I find my way back to where Katniss is. Except she is gone Crap! I lost her!


Here you are! Tell me what you think! R&R don't forget. So I was reading an article and saw that Jesse Williams (Greys anatomy star) was a candidate to play the famous Finnick Odair. How do you guys feel about that? I kinda like it A LOT!
