Chapter 3: night and day
Katniss' POV
Sonic drops to the ground, shaking and in obvious pain, he begins to change; his fur changes from an azure blue to a midnight black, his pupils seem to disappear, and a dark pressure fills the air around us.
"What did you do to him?" I ask, turning to face the mad doctor, ready to shoot at a moment's notice.
"You'll find out soon enough." His vehicle begins to rise and in a moment he's gone, not a trace left behind.
"Sonic, are you ok?" I start toward him, but Gale grabs my arm, stopping me. In answer he turns, his pupil less eyes sear into me, giving me the urge to run, but I stand my ground.
"What's going on here?" Gale sighs, exasperated.
"I'll explain later, but right now I need to get the rest of the emeralds before egghead does." Sonic says, looking determined.
"Fine by me, as long as you make it back before the Reaping." I say, turning to leave.
"You guys just worry about keeping your families fed; I'll take care of the rest!" With that, he's off like a bullet, leaving Gale and I to do what we do best; survive.
Hillo all!
Sonic: about time you showed up!
Me: don't look at me like that.
