A/N: Hey long time no see! But I have excuses that I don't exactly feel like explaining,so lets just get back to this. Oh,and it has come to my attention that someone else started something similar to this. Not sure if I should be offended or what. I don't exactly have the time or attention span to read through 15 chapters so if someone could tell me if it's anywhere near close to this,please do. It would really bug me if it was close.

The next few hours were hell. No,hell is an understatement. By the time Peeta and I made it back to where Johanna and Finnick were setting up camp,they were done. Long done. I already felt terrible,but knowing they had to do all the work made me feel even worse.

"Go lie down,Katniss. It's been a long day." Peeta said,leading me over to a woven shelter Finnick had constructed.

I didn't the the strength to argue,so I just tried to make myself as comfortable as possible. About 15 minutes later,Finnick brought over some nuts. He stayed and talked to me,but I'm sure he was just making sure I ate something. I knew I wouldn't be able to hold it down long,but I didn't say anything. Johanna and Peeta joined us a while later and we tried to make a plan.

"We still have to find water. The saltwater is undrinkable. And we need to find food other than these nuts. At least Finnick had the brains to know these wouldn't kill us and we have something,but we can't survive off just nuts."

Johanna was doing most of the talking,really. I didn't pick up too much of the conversation because I was going in and out of consciousness,curled up in Peeta's lap. Eventually,she,Peeta and Finnick set up a guard. It bothered me that they didn't put me in rotation,but knowing Peeta,he never would have allowed it anyway. Not in my condition anyway.

Nobody stayed asleep long,though. Because it started raining. But not normal rain. This rain stung. Finnick and Peeta packed the few things that were absolutely necessary for survival and we ran. The wall of rain and poisonous fog were right on our heels. Just when we thought we might have had it beat,Peeta tripped on a tree root,twisting his prosthetic leg.

"Katniss! Johanna! You keep going,I'll take care of him!" Finnick shouted. Johanna kept going,but I turned around anyway. There was no way I was leaving Peeta.

"Katniss,go!" Finnick shouted when he saw me again.

"No! I can't leave either of you behind!" I yelled back.

"Kat,listen to him! I'll be fine!" Peeta yelled.

I ignored him and started helping Finnick rip the vines that had tangled around Peeta's ankle off. When enough had come off,Finnick picked Peeta up,knowing that the rain and fog would engulf us before he had the chance to fix Peeta's leg. That would have to be done when we got farther away. He muttered something like 'stubborn girl" under his breath and we took off after Johanna.

My lungs were on fire. I knew deep down we wouldn't last much longer if this kept up much longer. We finally reached the beach,were Johanna was doubled over,half catching her breath and half dry heaving,which was making me feel sick just hearing. Finnick turned around just in time to see the fog and rain stop short and slowly disappear,like it was trapped in a box. Reassured,he put Peeta down. I sat down next to him and held his hand while Finnick jerked his leg back into place.

When I finally caught my breath,I noticed the bright red welts beginning to form all over my skin. These burned even more than my lungs had a short time ago,to the point where it was unbearable. Johanna escaped with just minor burns,but Finnick,Peeta and I had caught to the worst of it.

Peeta and I found ourselves at the water's edge,making sure I wasn't going to throw up any more,when I realized that one of my hands that had been underwater,had started to feel remarkably better. Like the poison was being sucked out by the saltwater. I put Peeta's hand under,and though he initially winced a the pain of saltwater on the open wounds,the water soon started clouding as the poison was cleared from his hand. We both shed our jumpsuits and submerged ourselves in the water.

"What are you two doing?" Johanna asked,scratching at a welt on her shoulder.

"Johanna,get Finnick over here. I think we just found a way to get the poison out." I replied. She looked at me like I was crazy at first,but eventually dragged Finnick over to the water and ripped his jumpsuit,as well as her own,off. We all spent a good half hour in the water,until we went back to the beach and regrouped.

A/N: I know this is short (and probably terrible seeing as I'm writing this at like 1:30 in the morning) But,hey,an update is an update. I'm skipping around,to get to the good part faster. Because once the games are out of the way-this is going to be so much easier for me to write,since it'll be completely up to my imagination.
