Hey everyone! What did you think of the last chapter? After I was done writing it I started doing a happy dance and my cat stared at me like I was some sort of... weirdo lol. Anyway, again, sorry that I haven't updated Questions for Katniss and Crew. I know. I was supposed to post the Halloween Special on HALLOWEEN. I will post something sometime. Also I will have Thanksgiving and Christmas specials (Hopefully lol I might be a slacker... depends on what shiny things might distract me...)

Disclaimer: Stuff... stuff... stuffy stuff. Stuff. STUFF STUFF. Oh you don't speak the language of STUFF? How about I speak the language of DERP? Herp A Derp derp – you don't know that either? Fine. Plain old ENGLISH then. I DO NOT OWN THE BOOKS.

BTW this is the shortest chapter I have ever posted.

President Snow sat calmly behind his desk as he watched the tributes rise from the ground on their pedestals. Everything was going according to plan with the Annual Hunger Games... until... Snow noticed TWO people standing on the same pedestal. They looked normal, except, one of them had a clump of brown and white feathers tucked near her back, and the other had what looked like leather tucked near his.

"How... HOW did this happen?" Snow looked at his assistant.

"I – I don't know sir... let me check with the - " his assistant stumbled.

"She is supposed to be back in District Ten. WHY is she in the arena? HOW did she get in there?"

"Well – sir, you know that security isn't the best right now since - "

"I want it stepped up then! People cant just barge in on the Games – MY Games!" Snow raised his voice.

"Yes sir, of course sir... do you want me to inform the Gamemakers to... eliminate the child as soon as they can?"

Snow sat back, suddenly calm again, "No, I want to see just what Experiment 147 wants to prove, or to succeed in. Because after she's done... I'm taking everything from her."

Dessity's POV

When the cannon sounded I took off running. Luke yelled at me and told me to fly up, but the only thing that was going through my head was that needed supplies and weapons. I ran to the Cornucopia, and skidded on the dirt near an orange bag. I wrapped my fingers around the strap just as someone tackled me to the ground.

"Gotcha!" A boy with short blonde hair grinned at me as he pushed a long dagger against my throat.

"Get off me you big - " I croaked.

"ROAD! If you kill her, I kill YOU!" A familiar voice yelled as two cannons went off.

The boy was shoved off of me, he growled, "I can kill who I want!"

A girl with short black hair stood over me, "Are you okay?"

Before I could answer, someone slammed against the girl, the blonde boy lunged at the person.

"Get into the air you moron!" I heard Luke scream at me.

Two more cannons went off, and I heard maniacal laughter somewhere nearby.

I stood up shakily and something shot up next to me, I recognized Luke's leathery wings. I opened my own wings and jumped into the air. I had barely made it up twenty feet when Luke circled around me and forced me to stop.

"What were you THINKING?" He gasped.

"We need supplies, Luke," I managed to say calmly.

"You scared me half to death! That girl was going to kill you!"

I glared at him, "That girl was saving me!"

"She was going to KILL you!"

I bit my lip in frustration, Luke sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak out. I'm used to watching the Games on TV... here... it's just too much."

"I understand, how about we go find some shelter, to start things off?" I asked. I knew how Luke felt, even if he did freak out a little too much, I knew how he felt.

I quickly glanced down to see if there were any easy shelter targets, all I saw were huge clumps of trees and a few colorful birds swooping here and there. Rainforest maybe? I thought. I racked my brain, I knew that I had read something the year before, during training, about the rainforest.

The undergrowth in a rainforest is limited in many areas by the little access of sunlight to ground level. This makes it easier to walk through tranquil, mature rainforest. If the leaf canopy is spoiled, destroyed, or thinned, the ground beneath will soon consist of a dense, tangled growth of vines, shrubs, and small trees called a jungle.

"This is just a guess, but I think the theme for this years Games is Tropical Rainforest, because of all the distinctly colored animals, the humidity, and the moisture coating the trees and everything around," I told Luke.

"How did you know that?"

"I read a little last year during training, anyway, because it probably IS the rainforest... it will be easier to go by foot, though there are some tall trees that would make good shelters. Because of the tree density, sunlight doesn't get down to the ground, so there are very few thriving plants down there. Thus allowing stealthiness to come very naturally if we travel by foot. Also - "

Luke was staring at me with an open mouth, "A few seconds ago I was flipping out and now your going all District smart stuff on me."

I ignored him, "So, I think that we should travel by foot during the day, and at night, we should hide in the trees."

Luke shrugged, "Whatever you say, SCHOLAR."

"Shut up," I opened the orange pack and rummaged around, "take this," I pulled out a dagger and handed it to Luke.

Luke's eyes went wide, "You actually trust me with a knife?" Luke held up the blade and grinned.

"Actually, I don't... but you need a weapon," I took out another dagger, thankfully, there had been two.

"What else is in the bag?" Luke asked.

"Some beef jerky, water bottle, sleeping bag that's scrunched up into a tiny ball... that's about it." I closed the pack and swung it around my shoulder.

Luke gripped his dagger, "Down we go?"

"Down we go," I tucked in my wings and dived down into the jungle.

James POV

"How the heck did this happen?" Miri asked as she ducked under a thick green leaf.

I shrugged, "I don't know, but I knew that she was at the Capitol, I saw her. Remember? She was dressed as an avox."

Ron grunted, and Miri rolled her eyes at him, "Look, I'm sorry for not believing you, I just never thought that she'd be so stupid as to coming back."

"She's not stupid," I shot back as I jumped over a root.

Ron sighed, "Just shut up guys, can we find some food?"

"There's beef jerky in the pack," Twilight threw an orange bag at him.

"Ugh." Miri wrinkled her nose.

Before Ron could take a bite of his jerky, something crashed through the trees to our right.

"What the heck!" Twilight regained herself, twirled her axe around, then got into a fighting stance.

Miri unsheathed one of her many knifes, Ron dropped his jerky and took out his sword. I tightened my grip on my spear. I was about to throw it when the thing that had fallen stood up and rubbed her head.

"Luke, I swear - " she stopped when she saw us.

Another figure stood up and shook his head, "Oops?"

She nudged him and pointed towards us, when he saw us he stiffened. They were quiet for a second, and we were all still. Then the girl broke the silence by whispering one word.

"James?"
