A/N: Sorry I didn't update last weekend, but we didn't have internet for about four days because of a storm. So, finally, here's chapter 4! Enjoy!

Chapter Four

Penny

Nothing much has happened since Taylor killed that chick this morning. Neither Gaia nor Caine are happy with the joint leadership arrangement. Personally, it's really getting on my nerves and I'm hoping they'll just off each other already. Hopefully they'll either both kill each other or Caine will kill Gaia. They're both full of themselves, but at least Caine is cute. I glance back at the Cornucopia and see Gaia and Caine standing facing each other, their faces getting redder the angrier they get and their voices getting louder. I sigh. At each other's throats yet again.

Jack

We're alive, which is all you can hope for in the arena. That Sponsor really saved our lives. I wonder if it was just some freak from the Capitol or someone from Three. My chest aches when I think of home. I miss my family, my friends and, though I would never admit it to anyone, my computer. I'd made it myself from scavenged parts. It was my dream to become as good with computers as the legend Beetee. He was the real computer whiz of District Three, maybe even of Panem... I forced myself out of my daydream and back into reality.

You'll actually have to survive the arena if you ever want to be as good as Beetee. Or ever see your computer again. So pull it together!

My face set into a firm, determined expression as I woke Dahra and prepared to set off again.

Lana

The caves are dark and eerie, but I refuse to let it intimidate me. I move farther into one and I'm surprised at it's breath-taking beauty. What looks like a naturally formed cave with crystalline stalactites, stalagmites and pillars. I brush my hand against one as I pass and feel it's cold smoothness. I smile for the first time since the Reaping. A sudden snuffling behind me startles me and I whip around. My eyes sweep the caves dark corners and hidden crevices. The cave doesn't seem so safe any more. I inch nervously towards the cave's entrance. I hear the snuffling again and my heart is beating so loud I can hear it in my ears and the blood pulsing at my temple-

A small pink nose pokes out from a corner of the cave and my breath leaves me in a rush. I smile tightly and my body relaxes slightly. I force a laugh as my heart beat slows. A rat. Then it moves out into the dim light of the cave and my eyes widen. This is no ordinary rat. It's bigger then a cat with jagged yellow teeth and bright, intelligent eyes.

Mutt!

My spear won't be much help to me now. I spin on my heel and race back towards the daylight. I risk a glance back and see it's chasing me. And it's brought friends. The pack of rodent muttations let out unnatural shrieks as they run and instead of praying to live, I start praying I'll at least die in the sunlight.

I've walked all through the day and I finally see an end to the forest. I keep walking to the edge of the tree line and stop. Putting up a hand to block my eyes from the harsh sunlight I see there's a desert stretching out in front of me for as far as I can see. I glance back and try to decide whether to stay in the forest or venture out into the desert. I mentally weigh the pros and cons:

The forest has cover where I can hide from other Tributes, where as the desert is so open you'd spot something a mile off. Then again, nobody else seemed to be in the desert, what's left of us are all hiding in the trees by the look of it.

I sigh and decide to go with my gut. I step forward onto the sand.
