Gale sees the forest fire when I do and we don't have to tell each other to run because we both have enough sense to do it anyway. We didn't get much of a break but it was better than nothing and we have to keep going. The only good thing about this is it's motivating us to get to four faster.
Soon enough I get dizzy from the dehydration. Gale and I are barely jogging and soon fall the ground. The smoke fogs our lungs and we're both coughing uncontrollably. This must be it; Gale and I are going to die here, right now. I look up to get a glimpse of the world before I leave.
Out of the corner of my eye I see something glisten, a bright blue color, its water! "Gale," I manage to choke out, "water." We both crawl over to the lake using our last bits of energy and our legs are shaking. We reach the water just in time to gulp it down.
Once we're refreshed I get back and we move as fast as we can. My head hurts badly but I keep a pace. Soon enough the fire starts to fade down and we reach district four. We both fall to the ground out of energy.
I see water and move towards it, too tired to tell Gale about my findings. I hear Gale scream something but I'm so thirsty I just stick my head in the water and start to drink. There's something different about the taste of the water. Suddenly Gale's words become clear in my mind, "That's salt water!"
I look up and see the ocean ahead of me. I've just drank salt water. I can make me thirstier, make me go crazy, or even…make me die.
