Peeta stumbled backwards towards the others as the monkeys started climbing their way towards them. Each one making it's own noise. They were surrounded and unsure of how they were going to get away. Finnick pulled Luce in-between him and Katniss to try and keep her safe. Luce didn't mind as she continued to stare at the aggressive monkeys.

"Get to the beach" Katniss said as she constantly changed her gaze from one monkey to the next. Luce looked over her shoulder and could see the blue waters. It was getting there safely that was the only issue. Without warning a monkey jumped and landed on Katniss knocking her down a moment but she quickly got back up and shot an arrow at a monkey trying to do the exact same. That's when they all started to attack.

Finnick was able to stab one into the ground and was about to be mauled but Luce was fast and threw a dagger at its back sending it to the ground. Finnick gave a short thanks and went back to stabbing more monkeys. Luce kept her senses sharp and stayed close to Finnick watching his back as she threw another dagger barely hitting it.

Luce was just about to toss another one when she got tackled from behind and yelled out in surprise as the money gripped tightly onto her hair and clawed at her. Taking her dagger she thrust it behind her easily hitting it in the stomach or at least its side. She couldn't help but stare at the dead monkey as she felt a sense of familiarity. She turned to see a boy who was most likely a few years older than her lying on the ground behind her, the dagger plunged awkwardly into his neck.

"Luce look out!" Finnick called and managed to knock another monkey away from her. Luce shook her head and shoved the memory aside and went back to killing as many of the monkeys as she could.

"We need to get to the beach!" Peeta shouted and with silent agreement they all started running towards the beach fighting monkeys along the way.

Peeta and Katniss were shoved to the ground suddenly. The monkey was going for Peeta when suddenly a body jumped in front of him and took the blow giving him time to get up and kill it.

"Who is that?!" Katniss asked making her way back over to him.

"The morphling!" Peeta shouted, "Help me get her!" He reached down and picked her up with help from Katniss and together they dragged her down to the beach while Luce and Finnick made sure to keep the monkeys away from them. When Luce wasn't throwing daggers it was Finnick waving his trident at them.

Peeta and Katniss ran into the water just as Finnick dived into the sand. Luce stood protectively in front of him and watched as the monkeys didn't follow them onto the beach. All they did was growl and roar at them angrily. It was like the fog, an invisible wall holding them back and keeping them safe. They paced back and forth watching them.

Luce turned to see Peeta holding the morphling in the water trying to calm her as she gasped in pain. Unable to watch she turned away and leaned into Finnick who gave a comforting pat on the shoulder.

"Hey, you wanna see something?" She heard Peeta say and turned slightly to see what he was going to do.

"Look up, look" He said looking at the sky, the morphling slowly following, "Look at that, it's incredible isn't it? All those colors..Don't worry about anything else."

Luce couldn't help but look up herself and watched as the sky slowly rose into the sky, the dark night turning into an array of pink's, oranges and red's. She didn't notice how quiet it had gotten until she looked back at Peeta and the morphling and saw that she wasn't moving or making any kind of noise. Her eyes staring at the beautiful sight above them. Peeta slowly lowered her into the water as a cannon went off. That's when the monkeys finally turned and disappeared back into the jungle.

Looking up they saw one of the ship's hovering above them and they took a step back watching as a giant claw descended from the ship and picked up the body of the morphling taking it away as it flew off.

Luce and Finnick sat in the sand letting themselves rest a bit after another attempt on their lives. Luce rubbed at the scratches on her cheek from the monkey that attacked her. Finnick gently rubbed his thumb over it and sighed. "It's only a small scratch, should heal pretty quickly."

Looking out at the water Finnick stood up and offered his hand towards her. She frowned up at him in question as she took it and stood up. He grabbed his trident and headed into the water. Luce studied the situation and smiled as she realized what he was doing. Grabbing the few daggers she had left and managed to save from the killer monkeys, she followed him into the water and started looking for any fish swimming nearby.

It was a moment of peace for her as she threw a dagger managing to hit a fish in it's middle. Finnick grinned at her and managed to get his own. Luce laughed as he splashed her. It made her feel like she was home again, that there was no life threatening dangers surrounding them. After getting a few more they dragged all the ones they caught back to the shore where they cut them open and offered some to Katniss and Peeta.

"I guess your lucky we're from District 4" Finnick said with a smirk cutting into his own fish and eating away at it. Luce looked back toward the water and saw something. Smiling she got up and went to get it, picking it up she realized it was an oyster and brought it back to the others. Knowing that something could be inside she gave it to Peeta with a smile. Peeta seemed surprised but thanked her before opening it to reveal a small pearl that looked like a shiny teardrop.

He held it in his hand for a moment before holding it out to Katniss. "For you"

Katniss took it and looked at it with a small smile before thanking him. Luce gave Peeta another smile before going back to eating.

Everything was fine until they started to hear screaming. "That's new.." Peeta said as they all stood up and looked across the water to the other side of the jungle. That's when they noticed a giant wave make it's way through a section of the jungle, a cannon sounding as the water made it's way to the Cornucopia where it crashed up against it, sending smaller waves along the divided sections of the water. Looking back towards the section they saw the same ship as before hover as a claw dropped, picking up another body and disappearing again.

"Someone's here" Katniss suddenly said drawing an arrow. All their attention went to their right as they hid themselves and looked ahead to see three tributes walk out of the jungle, two of them waving at the third to follow them towards the water. Finnick relaxed as he took a step forward and looked at Luce.

"Johanna.." He took off towards them shouting her name to get her attention. Luce looked behind her at Peeta and Katniss and smiled before running off after him to greet Johanna and the others.
