Wiress is obviously in shock and is twirling around. "Come on!" I say. Beetee is working a little bit better, but not much. For a guy who's so smart, he must not know one thing: How to function his body!

"Light!" I scream. I pull Wiress along and Beetee stumbles right after me. "The beach!" I almost feel like smalling, despite how long it took all of to get here. And I did this for Katniss Everdeen, that little snotty chick from Twelve.

We reach the beach and I scratch at the dry blood on my face. I stamp my foot into the sand and push Wiress on the ground so she doesn't do anything stupid.

Suddenly, I realize I'm not alone. There are a couple of figures on the other side of the beach. Two I don't really recognize, but the third is...

Who is that? I know that I know who it is...

It's Finnick!

"Johanna!" Finnick calls, and starts running towards us!

"Finnick!" I shout just as he rushes up.

He looks me up and down and then back at Wiress and Beetee. "What happened?"

I take a deep breathe and start talking quickly: "We were over there-" I point to where we were- "in the rain forest, and something started coming down from the sky." Katniss and Peeta walk up. "We thought it was rain, you know, because of the lightning, and we were all so thirsty. But when it started coming down, it turned out to be blood. Thick, hot blood. You couldn't see, you couldn't speak without getting a mouthful. We just staggered around, trying to get out of it. That's when Blight hit the force field."

Finnick looks at me with a look of sympathy. "I'm sorry, Johanna," He says.

"Yeah, well, he wasn't much, but he was from home." I glance around. "And he left me with these two." I push Beetee with my shoe, partly to see if he's alive. "He got a knife in the back at the Cornucopia. And her-"

I look over at Wiress. "Tick, tock. Tick, tock."

Ugh. She's been going on like this for hours.

"Yeah, we know. Tick, tock. Nuts is in shock," I say. Wiress starts to come towards me and just bumps into me.

With the past couple of days I've had, I'm angry to the point of being infuriated. I push her back on the sand, again, so she doesn't do anything stupid. "Just stay down, will ya?"

Katniss looks at me, and with her little attitude, she says: "Lay off her."

I narrow my eyes at her. Who does this chick think she is, going around telling people like me to lay off people? She obviously doesn't get I could beat the shit out of her if it came to it. This girl, so conceited.

"Lay off her?" I draw out my words, hissing as if I'm a snake.

I step forward and go with my first impulse. Instead of saying something sweet I reach up and slap her.

Looks like it hurt. Good. Serves her right.

"Who do you think got them out of that bleeding jungle for you? You-" I'm about to say some really horrible things when Finnick hoists me over his shoulder and literally carries me into the water and continues to dunk me as I scream.

"Bitch!"

"Prissy little-" dunked.

"Why don't you go and-" Splash. "Try and go in there, cover yourself in blood!"

"Go ahead and-"

By now she's walked away and her and Peeta are cleaning Nuts and Volts.

"Ah, your nice and clean now," Finnick says.

"Good. And how could you not find me day one? Come on, you said you would!"

"I was busy!" He smiles, and so do I.

"Busy," I say sarcastically, rolling my eyes and crossing my arms. "Doing what? Dying?"

"Do I look dead, Miss. Mason?" Finnick smirks and we climb out.

We return to some camp I'll bet Finnick made and I immediatly start gulping down as much water as humanly possibly. Finally, I have to slow down and I start to eat some shellfish instead. Goodness, I was so hungry and thirsty.

"So uh-" I ask between gulps to Finnick. "Wat happened to your skin?"

"Oh, uh..." He gulps and his voice wavers a bit. Somehow, I know this has something to do with what happened to Mags, who I saw in the sky the other night. "Well there was some fog, and it stung and it made all of our limbs splay out in some bizarre way. We were just like you three, all we were trying to do was get out.

"We couldn't fight it, we had to run. And it became hard for us to carry Peeta and..." He stops short.

I glance around awkwardly. "And then we finally managed to get out of it," Finnick continues. "We came along the beach and Peeta decided to go get some water after we'd used saltwater to get the posion out. It hurt badly, but it got better. That's when the monkeys came. And they only attacked when Peeta glanced up, thats all."

He pauses and takes a gulp of water. "So Katniss shot and Peeta knifed and I used my trident and we tried to beat them down. But then I was killing a different monkey and Katniss ran out of arrows and there was no way he could've prevented getting killed, and I didn't even know. Katniss started running widly towards him, but she got there first and died for him. The District 6 girl."

I purse my lips and take a bite of a shellfish. At some point during the story Mags must've died, but he probably didn't want to mention it.

Everyone of us offers to guard, but after much debate it's me and Katniss. Katniss says its because she's had a lot of rest, but I refuse to rest.

We both sit in silence until long after everybody's asleep. Suddenly, a thought hits me. I turn around to a fast asleep Finnick and then turn to Katniss.

"How'd you lose Mags?"

"In the fog," She says. "Finnick had Peeta. I had Mags for a while. Then I couldn't lift her. Finnick said he couldn't take them both. She kissed him and walked right into the poison."

So I guess she just let Mags die because she couldn't lift her. How much could she weigh? 70 pounds? Maybe a little more, but not much.

"She was Finnick's mentor, you know," I say, almost accusingly.

"No, I didn't."

I soften up a bit. She must've had no idea. "She was half his family."

We stay silent for a few moments, watching the waves wash up over the undergarments. I ruffle up my hair and shake my head a bit, trying to wake myself up. I haven't got much sleep since the beginning of the Games.

"So what were you doing with Nuts and Volts?" Katniss asks, completely oblivious to the fact I already told her.

"I told you - I got them for you. Haymitch said if were to be allies I had to bring them to you. That's what you told him, right?" I ask, knowing she probably didn't, since this was my job.

She nods her head. "Thanks. I appreciate it."

"You better." Is what what I want to say, but instead I just say:

"I hope so."

I look at her. I really don't like her.

"Tick, tock," I hear. We turn around and Wiress is crawling over to us, her eyes set on the on the forest.

Just great.

"Oh, goody, she's back. Okay, I'm going to sleep. You and Nuts can guard together."

I walk over and toss myself down next to Finnick, the only person I really like around here.

I fall asleep, but not for long.
