Hey guys! So I might not be uploading as much chapters, because of school. Thanks for understanding!
-Nico's POV-
After a couple of nights, defending ourselves, and Jason scaring away tributes, we run acros a vicious bee nest.
Katniss told us these aren't ordinary bees. Apparently, these were specially made by the Capitol, and 'Tracker Jackers' can really be aggressive and deadly.
I learned that the hard way.

After slashing at an iron-and-silver sentry from the Capitol, it broke apart into pieces. I knew Leo would want to study it, so I stuffed some parts into my pockets. After I shadow-travelled back to Thalia, storm clouds appeared. lightning,rain, and wind, clouded everything. "Look's like the Capitol is trying to get rid of us," I muttered. Cracks of lightning sliced through the air. One sizzled right into Thalia. I yelped and jumped back, but she was thankfully fine. I could practically hear the Capitol gasping and their eyes widening. The storm poured on even harder, and we had to take cover.
After the night fell, and the storm finally died down, we hid out in a cave. Frank, Coach Hedge, and Piper said they could take care of themselves, and headed out into the dark. We watched as the cannons fired. Only one tribute died today, surprisingly. It was a quiet night. But I was wrong about it.
I was just about to dose off, but I woke up to the sound of faint footsteps, radio static crackling, and voices. I shot up, drew my sword, quietly woke the others, and waited. I heard too people creeping near the cave. I concentrated, and I transported us all behind them. After a silent ambush and takedown, we all stood back to back, waiting for commotion. Then gunfire. Immediately, we drop down, and voices ring out. One soldier appears in a white and black suit, holding a laser gun. I jump up, dodge several laser shots, and stab the guy in the gut. I take his radio and throw the gun to Thalia, who slings it over her shoulder. A voice appears through the radio. "-McKneeley, you the-re?! Report status-eeley! *static* I glance at everyone. They look determined, scared, and angry all at the same time. We all delve into the clearing.
I see more soldiers coming from the east side, and a helicopter buzzing from behind. I keep running, lasers flying past me head. Then several sharp pains on my hand. Immediately I feel woozy, and my vision blurs. i look at my hand, and I see Tracker jackers plunged into my arm. i drop my sword and stumble. "Nico!" screams Thalia. Then a red blast of light catches me in the chest. If I wasn't wearing armor, that would've been it for me. I groan in pain, and my vision goes black.
