Hi again guys :') Here's the next chapter (sorry that it's been so short so far)

The hovercraft landed in a clearing in the forest surrounding the Capitol. My heartbeat drummed in my chest and adrenaline ran through my veins. I knew I'd be fine for this stage of the mission as I grew up in the forest. Memories of my father and I hunting overwhelmed me and I fought to clear my mind and stay level headed for Peeta's sake. Even so, I wished my father was here to protect me.
Something touched my arm and I jumped and whirled around. I relaxed when I saw it was only Haymitch. He was holding out my bow and quiver that was full of arrows. I smiled at him and then looked around at the other soldiers preparing to disembark the craft. Haymitch regained my attention by clearing his throat.
"Stay alive." he muttered.
"I'll try." I replied, trying to smile but failing. I knew how dangerous this mission was going to be.
The door opened and everyone looked at me to lead. I gulped in a breath and steadied my nerves.
"How are we going to track Peeta's position?" I asked.
"Here Sweetheart" Haymitch said, handing me something.
"What's this?" It was a digital map of some sort, with a flashing light that occasionally moved on it.
"The light is Peeta's tracker." I looked up to see who had replied and saw it was Boggs, Coin's right hand man. I flashed him a smile, as I hadn't realised that he had joined us and I wanted him to put in a good word for me to Coin to stop her from punishing me too badly. He saluted me back with a stern expression and with that, we set off to retrieve Peeta and anyone else we could find who was on our side.
2 hours later, we had seen and killed 6 Capitol soldiers who were patrolling the woods. I had killed one of them as he had shot at me but I still felt slightly guilty. It was taking us a long time to travel the two miles because we were going on the least suspicious path so as to not be seen. Many of the soldiers were dehydrated but I refused to stop at any of the lakes because I feared that they would be tainted by Snow for an easy way to kill rebel soldiers. Suddenly the map beeped nearly inaudibly and I looked down to see that we were only a few metres out. There was a tower in front of us and I deduced that Peeta was inside. We were so close and my heartbeat thrummed wildly in anticipation. We had to be careful as I was still unwilling to lose any soldiers to Snow. The easy part was over. The hard part was beginning.
"Let the real Games begin Snow" I thought as we finally approached the tower.
