[[Haymitch POV]]
I'm sitting in the kitchen when the phone rings. I waddle over to it pick it up.
"Haymitch?" The voice asks. I can't think who it is though.
"Yeah. Who's this?"
"Gale Hawthorne." Ah, I know now.
"Oh Gale! Hello, what is it?"
"You have to come to District 2."
"-What? What's happened? Is-"
"No, Katniss sent a distress signal, she says Sierra needs medical. But they won't send out any help, I tried."
"Oh my God. I'm on my way!" I exclaim. I put the phone down hard. I bite my lip to stop the tear that nearly falls out of my eye. I let out a deep sigh and grab some essentials. I shouldn't have let her go, I knew this would happen. I find my picture and put it back in my pocket.
I open the door but decide to knock for Peeta. I tell him what's happened and ask him to come too. "Sure, Katniss is there as well anyway. But Haymitch, are you alright?" I nod and we run to the train station. We catch the first one there and Gale is waiting at the station in District 2. We sneak into the Communications room and lock the door behind us. "What are you doing? Get out of here! You're in trouble now Hawthorne." This man must be Asdar. He pushes a red button. I kick his chair against the wall and walk right up to him. "Don't do or say anything unless I tell you to." I growl in his face. Security bangs on the door. I whisper to him what to say. "Sorry, it was an accident. I just knocked the button." The banging stops and their footsteps fade away. Gale calls Plutarch and we sit in silence while the phone rings. Gale explains the situation to him and then passes the phone to me. "Plutarch, come on! You're my friend right? Do this for me!" I'm no longer angry just breaking down. Everyone in the room is staring at me. "Of course I am Haymitch but I can't do anything. We only have 9 hovercrafts we can't waste any."
"Please. I'm desperate." My hands are shaking. There is a long silence, they all seem to have sensed the despair in my voice. They've never seen me like this before. "Ok, here's the best I can do. The worst of the fighting should be over by tomorrow. We'll send a hovercraft out then. Yeah?" He offers. I agree, I might as well if it's the best he can do. I unlock the door and amble out followed by Peeta and Gale.
[[Sierra POV]]
I lie there in the cold, in agony. Every inch of me is aching. My leg is bleeding like heck and is painful without even moving or touching it. My ribs are bruised and there is definitely something not right with my breathing. Whenever I deeply inhale I have a fit of coughs. It's too much effort to keep my eyes completely open. I just want it to be over.
Katniss' device beeps and she reads the message out loud.
SENDING HELP TOMMOROW
KEEP HER SAFE

Tomorrow? It seems like years away, but at least I know how long I'll have to wait now. I just have to hang on till then, I just have to hang on. Gazing into the sky, I make pictures out of the stars. I make a sword, a skull, a heart and a letter H. I slowly drift off but the nightmares are back.
