Madge's words are still spinning around in my head before I get back to reality. "What?" Is all I can say before I suddenly feel a bolt and fall to the ground. I look around and am relieved to see that both Peeta and Madge have stumbled too. I get up and run over to Peeta to help him up. I lift him up as soon as Finnick comes in telling us to hurry up. He leads us through the helicopter and guides us to the rest of the crew. I see Gale and Madge talking to each other and that the others are running around gathering their belongings. Haymitch turns to me and signals for me to get out. I run out helping Peeta run out behind me. We both run out of the landed helicopter and we then wait for the others to come out. They come after a while and then Haymitch starts telling us everything.
"Look, we are running out of fuel and we can't keep going around in circles. We made an escape run and then we landed. We don't think the capitol copter's saw what we did but they know our general direction. We stalled some time for us to get out. The rest of our trip to District 13 we will be going on foot." He sighed and then looked at Thorne. Throne stood their thinking of something to say but then I heard it. The mockajay's started to stop singing in the forest. The trees started to sway a little and then it started getting really windy.
"Hide!" I yelled as I jumped up behind a tree grabbing Peeta to come with me. Once we were hid from the clearing of the helicopter I looked around. No one seemed to be in sight. The helicopter flew over us and we all stayed in our original places for a while then we all came out again. "Look, I think that we should get far away from the helicopter as possible and that we should start heading towards 13. But, we first have to know our position so I am going to climb up a tree to look at where we are." I said and before anyone protested I ran up to a tree and started climbing. It felt so good to be up here I felt at peace right now not including the position we were in. I reached the top fairly quickly and looked around. I could tell that we landed close to 13 but, we were far away if we had to walk all the way over there. The walk with breaks and all should take 5-7 day. I sighed. I climbed back down and walked over to Haymitch to tell him our position. He nodded his head as I spoke to him and once I finished he looked at me and smiled. He told all of the others and we picked up our stuff. I smirked this was like the hunger games all over again but this time I didn't have to kill all of my teammates to survive. Peeta must have read my mind because he started to speak.
"If we are going to have to walk all the way over there then I suggest we look for a stream and follow along it so we can have a good water supply." I looked over at Peeta and smiled. His words sunk into to everyone else and they all started wandering and looking for water. Some one pointed out that the found one and so we walked over and started traveling towards District 13. Soon after a little bit of three or four hours of walking many people started getting tired and hungry. The all asked to stop for camp for the night and I agreed. I made them stay by the stream when I went looked for a good camping ground. But being Peeta, he refused and followed me. We both found the ground a couple of feet away from the stream and we showed it to the others.
"What about the food Katniss? We are all hungry and we need food and there is not enough for everyone?" I looked over at Throne after he uttered the words. He was right. We didn't have enough food for everyone.
"We hunt." I responded sounding confident. Gale nodded and after a while we were all ready. Me, Gale and Finnick would go hunting while Peeta, Madge, and a few others would go get some fish and greens near the stream. Gale and Finnick went ahead of me but I caught up to them and the hunting began. After the day's work we caught 4 grooslings, 6 rabbits, and I gathered a few berries also. We headed back to camp and started plucking the feathers of the birds and stared cooking them over and open fire. Soon, after all the food was cooked and we all ate ferociously. W had many leftover meat and berries but over all ever one had a good dinner.
It started getting dark and now all of us couldn't even see if it wasn't for the flashlights we brought along. Many people yawned and started heading towards a tree to sleep in. I followed both Peeta and Gale as the found a good spot to sleep. Peeta was sitting against a tree and Gale was laying down right in front of a tree staring in to the stars. I went over and sat next to Peeta. We just sat there for a while not talking but just sitting there. Over time the temperature started to decrease and I started to shiver. Peeta felt me shiver and looked at me with a concerned face.
"Here, Katniss take my jacket you need it." Peeta said but I refused his offer and shook my head. "Katniss you are going to freeze."
"Peeta stop it. You are the sick one and if I take your jacket then you will freeze." I responded not letting Peeta get to me. I looked over at Peeta and he looked down at me smiling.
"So you won't wear it if I don't wear it, right?" He asked questioningly. I nodded in response. He started unzipping his jacket and I scowled in response. He slid one of his arm out of a sleeve and then started to speak. "Come closer Katniss. Here, Put your arm in the sleeve so now we both can wear it." I hesitated at first but the cold took me over and I scooted in and I put my arm in. He then zipped up the jacket so we could obtain some more warmth. I smiled I started to warm up already. I lay my head on Peeta's shoulder and I could feel him smile. I was so close to Peeta that I could feel every single movement he made. At this moment I didn't care if I was hurting Gale or not. I felt so warm and peaceful that I didn't want to think about. "Katniss, I have a question. You don't have to answer if you don't want to but I want to know. Katniss, are you still acting? Not for the cameras but for the other people here?" Peeta asked. His question took me by surprise I never thought about it that way.
"No I am not, Peeta. I mean I do have feeling for you. I can't really understand them but I do have feeling for you and I don't want to lose you. Right now, I am not acting for anyone. I am just being myself." I answer back quietly. I could feel him smile and I look up at him just as he looks down at me. Judging but the closeness of our bodies our lips meet just as we both turned our head. I am surprised but I don't pull back. Peeta is the one to pull back however, he smile and then leans in toward my ear.
"Go to bed, Katniss. You need your sleep." He whispers. I scowl a little I expected him to say something else. I huff a little "fine" under my breath and I lean in to give him a peck on his cheek before I lay my head on his shoulders and close my eyes. I don't know how long I was up but I finally drift off into a peaceful sleep. When I wake up once again for the second night in a row I wake up to the sound of screaming.
