Getting the Band Back Together

by PottedCactus

This takes place three years after the events of "Beyond the Fence". Konstance Lowe was welcomed home a champion. Rumors fly through the Capitol about whether or not he deserved the win, but it blows over soon enough as a new games season begins. Konstance is ready to put it all behind him, but finds that he must face the arena one more time or risk losing someone else to it.

34. Chapter 29 SUMMARY FILLER CHAPTER

SPOILER ALERT: I haven't finished writing this chapter, but this is a quick summary of what takes place:

There were so many things to be grateful for. Ignatio was grateful for the buildings. It meant that she didn't have to bother building a shelter. She was grateful for the sacrifices made by the other tributes earlier that allowed her to get away with a pack full of decent supplies. As she crept through the night, she was grateful for the rain and the darkness that gave her cover.

Ignatio Rose Leukannen is approaching the cornucopia from the other direction. She is a bit proud of her plan until she sees someone else and ducks behind cover.

Was it one of them? No, she was too small. It was another tribute like her, hoping to take advantage of the darkness and the rain. Someone beat her to the punch.

She steps back and watches this bold kid as she goes in and out, grabbing supplies, going in farther and farther each time. What a champ. Then Ian comes out. There is a standoff between the two, both motionless, waiting for the other to make a mistake. Ignatio chucks something off into the dark, and the splash grabs Ian's attention. Asper uses this to make her escape. Ignatio follows her.
