Hey guys, I know its been a bit ridiculous on how long its been since I last updated but I have been focusing on my studies as I've have exams the last few weeks. So to make up for it, I'm going to make this chapter an extra long one and there is going to me quite a bit of action and drama in this chapter, also there maybe some other tributes who decide to pay us a visit! :) Plus I want you guys to let me know which couples you would like to see, now obviously Cato and Katniss are a pairing in this so they won't be with anyone else, but with the others am gonna let you guys chose an whichever couple is most popular and will try and start there little love sparks in the next chapter.

Hope you guys enjoy it and I really am sorry for not updating sooner my lovelies and I hope you all don't hate my too much!

P.S Also I changed my ending for the last chapter, so if you haven't read it yet, then this chapter won't make much sense so I suggest you read back first :)

I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES

KatnissPOV

I did listen to what Thresh said. I really did, but I don't really know who I was more angry with, me or Cato. I just let him in, all it took was one conversation with him and Marvel and that was it, and I was all over him. I actually couldn't believe myself. I just don't know why I feel like that around him. I feel safe. And I know that sounds insane as he killed those other tributes, but I know if I had to I would have done the same to see Prim again. What I don't understand is why him? Why couldn't I start to feel like this with Peeta or with Gale. I mean I've known Gale since I was six and we've been best friends since I was eleven and I've never felt like this around him.

What the hell is wrong with me!

NormalPOV

Katniss got out her tent after spenting most of the morning in there asleep. As she got out side she could see everyone in what looked to be a heated disscussion, she realised she was the only one who wasn't up. She sighed to herself as she honestly couldn't be bothered with everyone one arguing as there was enough tension in the air from yesterday as it is.

So she made her way over to them to try and figure out what was going on.

" Clove that makes no difference, what matter's as that there could be other tributes who are alive! So maybe in stead of just killing, we should be TALKING to them first!", Thresh shouted across to Clove to was leaning on a weapons table across from him.

" As if I care the little fucker tried to kill me!" She shouted at him throwing her arms in the air with frustration.

"She's got a point Thresh. I mean we all heard Claudius' anounsment. And yeah I know it was unclear, put it was obvious that the gamed weren't broacasting anymore, when we saw that explosion outside the arena making the dome's screen go clear. It doesn't make sense why she tried to kill her in the first place, it's not like Clove had much choice she was just proceting herself" Peeta told Thresh with a confused look on his face.

"Well I say if we see any other tributes we just kill them" Glimmer added turning her nose up at Thresh.

" And I say you stop talking" Peeta scowled at her as her unproductive bitchiness was not helping the situation.

"Who the fuck are you talking to Baker boy!" Glimmer shouted in a high pitched tone as she walked towards Peeta's direction, Marvel put his arm in her way and made a silent movement with his head telling her to get back to her seat. Glimmer just looked at Marvel, turned her gaze to Peeta before snarling at him like he was dirt then slowly made her back to her seat cursing under her breath.

Thinking enough was enough, Katniss decided now would be the right time to intervean.

"What on earth are you guys talking about?"

"Oh look, kittyi-kins has decided to join us" Marvel stated to no one in particular, making everyone gaze turn to Katniss.

"Marvel not now" Katniss told him in a tired and annoyed tone. Everyone was just looking at the floor and avoiding her eyes. No one knew how to tell her.

"Is anyone going to tell me what the hell is going on!", raising her voice at the all from utter frustration. As she looked around no everyone seemed to be looking at the floor, except Cato. He was staring right at her, and even though she hated to admitt it, she knew he was probably the only person her would give her a straight answer.

"Cato?" Katniss said quietly looking at him. "Please, please can you tell me what is on".

Cato could see that she desperately wanted to know what was going on. And although he was still, angry, mad and still really confused with her and the happenings of the day before, but the way she is looking at him, he couldn't not tell her. Bitch.

"Clove went to the lake to wash her clothes, and I told her to wait for me but 'I have no patience' over there went without me anyway. When she got the the lake everything was fine at first then ten minutes in a spear was thrown at her, just missing her by a few inches", Katniss looked up to Clove saying nothing but was shocked. Clove was taking no notice to their conversation and zoned out and was just staring in the woods. Katniss then turned her attention back to Cato. "So out of reflex, she threw two knifes in the direction the spear came from, and got the rat who tried to MURDER her" Cato told her enmphasing the word murder to Thresh as he was beginning to press his patience.

"Wait so the tributes dead?" Katniss asked flinching back of the thought of another person dead, "wait... Who was it?".

Cato looked at her for a few seconds before he answered her. "She's not dead. Clove only got her in her shins to stop her from running and then sort of kick the shit out of the girl till she passed out".

Katniss froze on the spot taking everythink in. Her eyes eventually fell to Cato and she looked to him with a face that could only say 'What the hell?'. Cato

just shrugged his shoulders at her as if he knew what she was thinking.

"Wait a minute, who is she?" Katniss asled trying to get all her thoughts to make sense.

"Tirbute 4, her name is Alexis" Rue answered.

"Tribute 4?" Katniss said to no one in particular, she then turned back to Cato, " I thought she was in a alliance with you?" She asked and was begining to get very confused with all of this.

"Yeah so did we, but there is somethink wrong with her, she's... she wasn't acting normal when she woke up about an hour ago, so Marvel had to put her out again" Cato told her.

"I must give it to you kitty-kins you really are a heavy sleepier" Marvel laugh which made Katniss smile and shake her head at the silly boy.

"Well where is she now then?" Katniss asked.

"She's in the back of the cornucopia, we had to chain her up to the wall, for when she woke up" Thresh told her.

"You had to chain her to the wall! What, isn't she like 14? 15 at most and plus she's tiny! Why on earth is she in chains?" Katniss shouted at them as if they were all being crazy.

"Katniss when Clove brought her back, she woke up, she tried to kill Glimmer but Marvel pushed her out the way the she tried to hurt Rue, she slit her arm with a knife she stashed in her boot. It took me, Peeta, Thresh and Marvel to pin her down before Marvel knocked her out! She was so strong, like she was abnormally strong. If Thresh hadn't managed to pull back Rue in time she would have got the girls throat! We didn't much choice because she was just getting herself loose from the rope or she would just snap then, chaining her up was are only option" Cato said with both worry and confusion in his voice, "She is not normal, I mean the girl is about as strong as me and I do bench presses that are about 3 times heavier than she is".

Looking around Katniss didn't know what to think, only then did she notice that Foxface was missing.

"Where's Foxface?" Katniss asked with worry.

"She's with 4, she wanted to see if she could figure out what was going on with her, and shes fixing up her legs and everything else" Peeta added. And as if like clock work Foxface walked out from the cornucopia wiping her bloody hands on a old rag, and she made her way over to us all.

"I think she's eaten something" Foxface said to no one in particular, but catching the attention of everyone, "It's called a venetumbox berry. They are extremely rare. Like I have only ever come across them in books" finally finishing with the rag she threw it on a table a few feet from her. "It's also known as venie, it's what the capitol used when they first created the mutations, from what I have been told, in the earlier games they used real animals like wolves, bears as mutations and the gamemakers would feed them venie, then once the venie had taken its course through the animals body it would be released into the games. All tributes that came into it's path was slaughtered, from what my grandparents told me only one tribute had survived a orginal mutation and that was only because he had gotton hold of the venie and taken it himself" Foxface told them all and she could see that they all weren't really catching on to what she was trying to say. "That year all the tributes where killed and there was no victor. That's why the 3rd games didn't have a victor, so the Capitol stopped using venie, as when the peacemakers came to collect the victor, he tried to eat them".

"I don't really think you guys understand what I'm trying to say here, venie is the most dangerous fruit that the CAPITOL had to stop using it becuase ever they were afraid of what it could do. It is supposidly supposed to release that much adrenaline into the body that strength and agility are maximized to the full. Are brain by itself only uses 11 percent of it full capacity, when venie is taken it's full effect your brain uses hits its near peak at 84.9 percent. So if I am right and it is venie what she has eaten. Then once she wakes she will be able to break those chains like a twig, and she will be unstoppable" Foxface finished with utter fear across her face. And for a few moments all the tributes fell silent. Trying to take in everythink, then finall Clove broke the silence.

"Wait, if even the Capitol fear it so, why would they put it back in the games if they know they couldn't control it".

"I don't know" Foxface paused. "But what I do know is, is that if we don't find that plant in like...the next 12-14 hours we're going to have some serious problems!" Foxface told them all, which made them all even more confused.

"Why do we need the plant" Rue asked with fear plain as day wriiten all over her face. Katniss walked to Rue and let her put her arms around her waist like Prim would when she was scared.

"Venetumbrox is a berry of a flower. The leaves of the flower are sort of a antidote to the venetumbrox, they pretty much rid all of the sypmtoms of the venie, leaving the victim to its normal state, only a little weaker but that soon fades" Foxface finished.

"How do you know all this?" Thresh asked her in shock of her knowledge and their riculous current situation.

"My great grandfather used to study into dangerous flowers and bushes as they are mostly found in 5. So he was able to study them, and its sort of been past down in generation. But I didn't even know that Venie still even exsisted, I assumed becuase of its rareness and its fear factor that is was destroyed or died out even" Foxface told them, "it just doesn't make any sense why they would put it in here".

"I say it might be easier to just kill her, then none of us will be in any more parrell than we already are!" Glimmer spat, and Katniss could hear how frightened she was.

"Why do we have to kill her if the antidote is out there somewhere, no one else should have to die" Thresh shouted at Glimmer who just turned away from him.

"And what if we don't find the antidote Thresh? Or what if we do find the antidote and by the time we get back that poision has already taken over her body and she's broken free! It would take us out one by one!" Clove shouted back at him, causing him to fall silent.

"Well one things for sure, where not helping her by arguing about her are we?" Katniss said in a more hushed tone. " But Thresh is right, no else should have to die. Not by our hand anyway, the games are over and 4 over there has a family".

"Kitty-kins I know and understand what your saying, I don't want another person to die either, but the girls do have a point. If we dont find this antidote or we do but its too late then we'll have just put a stamps on our head ceiling our death. We need to look at every scenario here, I'm just trying to be realistic" Marvel said to her and she knew he was right.

They all knew that she was a major danger to them all.

"How about this. Me, Marvel, Foxface and Katniss will go looking for the plant. And the rest of you guys stay here and if she evens starts to become too much for you all to handle, then you guys can kill her and that way at least we can know are selves that we tried" Cato suggested.

There where a few moments a chatter with everyone nodding and thinking that idea was fairly reasonalbe.

"But you two" he said looking at both Clove and Glimmer, "ONLY when the poison has taken over, no sneeking at night at cutting her throat when everyone else is asleep" he told them raising his eyesbrows at them.

"Fine" Clove said raising her hands.

Glimmer just looked at him and huffed. "Fine, whatever, but the moment she goes all rabbid and shit thats it I draw the line!" She said sternly before flicking her blonde lock over her shoulder.

"Deal" Katniss said thinking that was totally fair. "What about you Thresh, you agree?".

Thresh looked skeptical at first but nodded slowly.

"So I guess it's settled then" Marvel said jumping off the table he was sitting on. "Let's go find this plant!".

So what do you guys think? I know it may be confusing but I didn't know where I was going with this and this was the only half decent idea that I could think of. I also promised that we would see some of the other tributed in this one :) and the next chappy we will meet the rest! Now form the authors note at the top I said that due to my lack of updating I was going to put the most popular couple (other than Katniss and Cato of course) in the next chapter showing some sparks of their blossoming relationship too. Now you guys can do this by review or PM me I don't mind. Once again this chapter was done on my phone but I've bought an app which lets me underline and highlight me writing in bold which is great.

Anyway hope you guys liked it and I just want to thank my reviewers, I really am appreciative of all the review thet are awesome, and I promise from now on the more reviews I recieve the quicker I will update. I give you my word my lovelies :) x
