The next day, Katniss woke to rain on the cave's roof.

"Katniss, can you hear me?" said a soft voice.

Katniss opened her eyes and saw Peeta sitting next to her.

"Good to see you awake again," he said.

"How long was I out?" she asked.

Peeta shrugged. "I woke up yesterday and I saw you in a scary pool of blood," he told her. "I think it stopped bleeding, but don't sit up."

Katniss lifted her hand to her head. She felt weak and thirsty. Peeta gave her some water and she drank. "Well, you're better."

"Much," Peeta agreed. "That shot made the swelling go down." He didn't seem too angry at her for giving him the syrup, though she might hear from him later. "I ate a bit of groosling, but I'm back on a diet. It might have to last a while."

"It's fine, we'll have to hunt again soon. Besides, it'll go bad eventually," pointed out Katniss.

Peeta tucked her in the sleeping bag. He warmed her feet and said, "I wonder what brought the storm."

"Probably Cato and Thresh. Foxface is in her den, and Clove... Thresh smashed in her head."

"Cato and Thresh... Is it too much to hope that they'll finish each other off simultaneously?"

Katniss sighed. She didn't want anyone else to die. "I want to go back home, I want to go home now."

"You just go to sleep and dream of home. I'll keep watch, and soon enough, we'll we be home soon enough."

Katniss obeyed and drifted off.

Thalia glared at the sky. It thundered again. She didn't like the artificial storm, however they'd got it here. She redirected some lightning to the far side of the arena.

"So what's our plan?" asked Nico.

Percy snorted. "We don't even have a real plan, besides sitting in this tree and keeping watch."

"Well, we should do something. I'm getting restless."

"What I'd like to do is to find Cato and kill him. We're not getting anything done," Thalia said. "Why don't we each go find and kill a tribute? The girl from 5, Thresh, and Cato all need to be killed before we can get back home." Home, of course, was the past. The Gamemakers didn't know that. They thought 'home' was the districts.

Nico considered it. "That's not that bad. We'd kill them before they could kill the District 12 tributes. It would keep them safe..."

"Yes, anything's better than sitting in this tree. I need some action," agreed Percy.

Thalia announced, "I'm going to kill Cato. He's awful."

"I'll take Thresh, then. He wasn't that bad. I'll kill him quick."

"Then fox girl is left. This'll be fun, I guess." Percy swung down to the ground after his friends.

"Bye. Meet at the Cornucopia," Thalia called after her shoulder. She plunged through the brush until she found a familiar stream. It was near the place were the trio had met Katniss. She walked down the path toward the Cornucopia. She glanced around the clearing, then ran to the wheat field where she'd seen Thresh go. It wasn't much, but Cato might have followed Thresh. She pushed aside some wheat and glanced back. Yes, two heavy people had came into the field.

She walked into the field, pushing aside long, golden, grass. There was a rustle. Thalia jumped, but it was only a small mouse. She plowed on for what seemed like whatever. She was about to plop down on a rock, the first thing other than grass that she'd seen in ages, when she heard a growl. She parted the grass to reveal Cato and Thresh.

Percy set off toward the woods. He had absolutely no idea where fox girl was. He walked around aimlessly until he spotted a small shelf of rock. A bush was covering most of it, but it was just small enough to crawl under. He supposed it was a good enough hiding place.

Percy managed to squeeze in. The den was filled with supplies. Luckily, fox girl wasn't there.

He grabbed a pot and filled it with supplies. He pushed it out, then began to fill another pot. Finally, when everything was gone, he crawled out. He brought each pot away and dumped the food in the stream. Done! The fox girl had no supplies. She'd die eventually.

Percy brushed himself off and walked away toward the meeting spot.

A/N: That was a random, unplanned chapter. I just saw the three reviews, so I got exited. Thanks for reviewing! Solangelo YASS: I didn't save her because either way, she would have died. Sorry. I really loved Rue too. ffoodie: No, I won't be doing Thalico.

Review!
