Hye guys! Sorry I haven't updated in SOOOOO long! I've been busy on a nother story and with life so...yeah. here is a little teaser for the next chapter:


When I wake up I'm in a tree with Rue and…Peeta? No, Cato.

I jump up instantly and reach for my bow and arrows when I see Rue shaking her head.

"Don't shoot him Katniss. He helped you." Rue says and she smiles brightly.

I look at Cato and see him deep in thought about something.

"Cato what happened?" I ask him nervously and feel my head throb with each movement.

"Something happened with the arena. Everything went haywire. Back to normal though." Cato says and I grimace.

I stand up and climb down from the tree surveying the arena. Everything appeared to be fine.

Cato comes behind me and says, "Clove and Marvel are gone too."

This shocks me. 3 tributes disappearing and no cannon was so strange. "Are you sure no cannon went out?"

He nods affirmative. "No cannons for sure. But you know what's good? We were sent a loaf of bread because of the inconvenience.

Everything was strange. From the tribute dying in the Training Center, to now the Arena malfunction.

"We need to look for water." Cato tells me and I head back towards the tree where Rue was.

"Thanks for not killing her." I tell him sarcastically and I look around the tree or her.

"Your welcome." He responds with a mock bow. I roll my eyes and look again at the tree.

Rue wasn't there. "Rue? Rue! Rue?" I call out and she doesn't anwer.

"This arena is fucked up." Cato speaks first and starts looking around the tree.

"RUE!" we call out together and search nearby places for her. The river, The cornucopia. She was gone, like everyone else.

I feel a knot in my stomach and exchange a look with the massive blond career.

Which one of us was next?

We tread through the forest looking for tributes to kill. Cato had insisted on it and I had numbly agreed. All I cared about was Rue. Where could she have gone?

I don't even notice when Cato finds and kills a tribute. I don't even notice when we eat. All I notice is that my little friend is gone.


Thanks for your patience! I will update as soon as I get the chapter done.
