"The cornucopia is just straight ahead, I say we camp here for the night and then circle in on the careers," Miri watched as one of the careers went into their makeshift tent.

We walked a little ways away so that when we made a fire the careers wouldn't see, we unpacked and settled down. We decided not to start a fire until nightfall, it was pretty humid outside, and a fire would have been too much.

"Now what?" Dawn asked.

"We have some cooked bird left over don't we?" Diana asked, she was curled up next to a tree.

Dawn nodded, "Yep, but I'm not that hungry."

"Me neither," Diana sniffled.

I stretched out my wings, flapped a few times, and landed in a tree branch, "I hope you guys don't mind if I hang out up here."

Everyone shrugged, I leaned back against the trunk of the tree, it was still light out, and I could hear the careers running around, and even laughing. For a moment I wondered what they were laughing about, but then I thought… what could possibly be funny in the Hunger Games?

"Alsy, bring that spear over here I want to sharpen it," I heard a boys voice say from the career's tent.

"Daren, why do you need to sharpen it?" Came Alsy's reply.

I heard laughing, "Just bring it over, or I'll have to get it myself, and kill – "

"Hey, stop it," Sapphire ordered.

I heard a groan from Daren, "Geez Saph, I was just kidding!"

"Don't kid, this is serious, now, let's search the area one more time for those bird kids and their friends."

Alsy groaned, "Again?"

"Do what she says," a girl yelled.

"Whatever Emma," Daren said.

I glanced at Miri, she had a panicked look on her face, "Dessity, James, get us up in the trees!"

"What?" James asked.

"GET US IN THE TREES!" Miri ordered.

James nodded, I glided down from the branch I was on, I watched James pick up Miri, fly up to a tree and set her on a branch.

I grabbed Dawn's hand, "Give me your other hand, " I said.

Dawn nodded and gave me her other hand, I slowly flew up to the same tree Miri was in and set her on a branch. When I turned around, James was already helping Diana onto a branch, I flew up to a higher branch and crouched, James did the same. It didn't take long for us to hear the crunching of leaves as the careers check out our campsite, thankfully dawn had thrown all of our bags into a bush so that the careers couldn't see.

"I don't see anyone here," Alsy sighed.

Daren started to walk forward but Sapphire stopped him, "Wait…"

Alsy froze, "What?"

"Did you hear that?" Sapphire asked.

A low growl rumbled around us, Alsy's face went pale, "Yes."

Sapphire looked at Daren, "Mutts?" he mouthed, Sapphire nodded, and tightened her grip on her dagger.

"We have to get out of here, "Sapphire whispered.

I glanced at Miri who was in the tree next to mine, her face was pale, I swallowed and looked back down at the careers.

"Daren go search the rest of the area," Sapphire ordered.

"What?" Daren's voice cracked.

"I said go!" Sapphire growled.

Aden swallowed and started walking, almost as soon as he got out of our sight we heard him scream and then a cannon went off. Everyone froze, something cracked in front of us, I watched in horror as a tree fell down in front of Sapphire and Alsy.

"GET BACK TO CAMP! GO!" Sapphire yelled as the mutt came running towards them.

The mutt was the most ugly thing I'd ever seen, I looked like a dog, just a bit bigger, it had dragon wings that were ripped and torn, it's eyes were glowing red, it's claws were like knifes just like the teeth. At the end of the mutts tail there was a dagger, the tail whipped around threatening to slice through anything.

Alsy screamed and ran, "It's going to kill us!"

Sapphire threw a dagger, "Shut up!" and then she took off running.

For a moment the mutt took off and ran after them, but then it stopped and turned towards the tree I was in, I held my breath. I gasped when I realized that the mutt was staring right at me, and what was worse was that a recognized the eyes. They were the eyes of my father.

I screamed, pure fear slithered through me like a venomous snake and it bit me in the heart. I sat there frozen; I watched the mutt as it slowly turned its attention back to Alsy and Sapphire and took off again.

"SAPPHIRE HELP M – " I hear Alsy scream.

I shook the image of the mutt away and turned around in my branch so that I could see the career camp, Alsy was running towards the tent and the mutt was gaining on her. The knife on its whipped her in the back, she screamed and fell on the ground, the mutt stooped over her and growled. I closed my eyes, Alsy screamed for a good sixty seconds, then a cannon went off and there was silence.

We sat there in the tree waiting, we didn't know if the mutt had left, and we didn't know where Sapphire was, we just sat there.

"Do you think it's safe?" Dawn asked quietly.

"I don't know…" I whispered.

"Who's going to go check?" Diana asked.

"I will," James said as he quickly glided down from the tree.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yes," he said.

"Why don't you look by air? Because you never know if the beast is still out there," I said.

James nodded flew up into the air, Dawn was shaking and clinging onto her branch for dear life. I bit my lip and stretched my wings out, everything was quiet, and it was driving me crazy.

"Its all clear," James came out of nowhere and landed on the ground.

Miri jumped down from her branch, James helped Diana down as I helped Dawn down.

"Now what?" Dawn asked.

"It's getting late, we should get ready for bed, Diana, first watch," Miri said.

Diana nodded, I got my sleeping bag out of the bush along with my orange bag and my bow, I set everything up and then leaned against a tree.

"Are we going to have a fire tonight?" Dawn asked as she set her daggers on the ground.

Miri shook her head, "The careers could still be near, we'll just have to be a little cold tonight."

The anthem started playing, immediately we all looked up, the face of Aden flashed on the screen as well as the girl from 12, Alsy, Daren. Diana sniffed and covered her face, seeing Aden must have been hard on her, I felt bad for her.

"Goodnight," Dawn said to everyone as she covered up with her sleeping bag.

"Night," I said to her as I got into my sleeping bag.

Everyone else slowly got settled down, everyone except Diana who kept looking at the sky where Aden's face had been.
