I am about to experience full-pressure, absolutely terrifying war with fire! I notice that the Capeetol was lighting more trees, so this will be a lot bigger than just the one tree. Oh great. I need to talk to myself, I do it sometimes when I need expert advice from a pure genius, well some say fight with fire, actually, it might just be a metaphor, but that won't spoil my dreams of being the hero and looking good doing it. I use the splint from the fire starting kit, and light it. I throw it at the fire, I am already prepared for success, I close my eyes, throw up my hands, and kneel on the ground, this will so good on TV, I hope I make it home to rewatch it. I open my eyes, no, the fire hasn't ended, in fact it's gotten worse. I guess it was just a metaphor really after all, that's disappointing, now I just look like an idiot on tv. I need to, think, think, think, think, what did I do the last time I was set on fire, I had to have lived to tell the tale, so I must have done something right. It can't have been too recently... oh, wait, it was. The parade, when Dinna used the wrong fire, well, he told me he did, imbecile, and I reacted by running as fast as I could screaming. Maybe that's what I need to do now. Just maybe. I just need to repeat everything that happened then...

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I scream, and sprint for my life.

You'd think it wouldn't be that bad, fire doesn't spread THAT fast, but the Capeetol finds this very entertaining and is rapidly lighting trees just as I run past them. As I do so even, my backpack is on fire, luckily I am holding the chicken, the cupcake and my bow and arrows in advance, but everything else is going to burn. My backpack is on fire just like my cape was, so I just gotta keep running. I am still constantly screaming and screaming, Baito's probably found me by now, but I don't actually even care! I just gotta keep running, just gotta keep my eyes open. Everybody's waiting for me to break down, everybody's watching to see the fall out, even when I'm sleeping, sleeping, just gotta keep my eyes open. Run, run, run, run, run.

Finally the fire stops, and my throat hurts from screaming that much, the Capeetol doesn't want me dead, at least not yet. I hear a screech of great pain, clearly someone wasn't as lucky as me. I breathe heavily, and then realise, I never saw Coo. I suddenly panic. I can't yell her name, my throat is too croaky for anyone to understand a word. I rip the backpack off my shoulders and throw it into the lake, the fire goes out. It's not too damaged, just black now, my knife may be a bit scorched after the flame. Now that that's sorted, I have to find Coo, she has to be somewhere, she must be in hiding.

I grab what's left of my bag and crawl into a tree. I begin searching. I search for about two full hours and she still is nowhere to be seen. I then see a hive, oh no, not a tracker jacker nest, I can't... no, it's just a bee hive, nothing serious, however I am very close to it. I am about to evacuate when I realise I'm stuck in a root. I try, but I can't pull my foot out, I'm actually stuck. A bee finds me, and before I know it I am getting stung. Okay, now I desperately need Coo. Maybe if I sing a song she will come and find me, it always works in movies. I know a song called the Hanging tree, however, it's a bit... grim. I decide to do my own based on it. Here's how it goes.

Are you, are you, gonna meet me?

I'm bored and I'm scared, I'm stuck in a tree.

I've been stung by many bees

And oh they do hurt me

So please, come out, AND MEET ME IN THE TREE!

I look around. I thought my song was truly beautiful, but no one has come out. I then think I hear Coo faintly whisper my name, before I hear the most high pitched scream, the only two people able of doing that are Coo and... Baito, I silently pray it's Baito, even though I follow the scream and am lead to Coo, trapped in a net.

I only have time to yell her name.

Before the spear enters her body.
