(UNDER EDITING) Willow Mellark-Rising Ashes

The Mountains

Willows pov

My leg is burning and so are some other places in my body.  The water must've been poison because it is making little red bumps come out all over our bodies.  It burns a lot. Not a few seconds later and my body starts itching.   I start to scratch all over trying to rid myself of this torture.

"Don't scratch."  Tyler said , not looking back.
"But they itch! "I whine scratching my right arm.
"You'll just get yourself infected." I stop scratching abruptly silently wishing he wasn't right.

"How's your leg?" Tyler asked breaking the silence between us. 
" It's fine. " I said. 
" Can I see?" Tyler asked.
" Yeah, I guess. " I said.  He kneels down and takes a look at my wound, which is now starting to heal into a scar.

" It looks better " he said," but the water had to have something in it I mean look at us ." He said.
" Yes, thats what I figured ,we should go,  I mean we should get there before dark." I said

" Yeah,we don't know what might be in this part of the arena. "  Tyler said looking around as if to check no one was there.

The mountains aren't far away from where we are so we decide to run to get there faster.  When we reach the bottom of the mountains  we decide  to take a break and drink water.

"We should go hunting , we stressed our bodies a lot today and we haven't even eaten yet." I said. Tyler nods . 

"The only thing is that I think the only place to hunt animals that we are familiar with is up there. " Tyler said, and he's  right.

The woods are completely burned down.   Nothing could still be living in there.  So we have to go up. "Okay, ready. " I said, standing up  ready to start.
" Yeah." tyler said

" Thank God , we dont have to climb because I know if I look down,and we are all the way up there  I will freak out. " I said.
" Wait you're really afraid of heights?" Tyler asked. 
"No dip, Sherlock. " I said, kind of embarrassed, I don't know why.

" but you climb trees ?" Tyler said. "Yeah, but trees are different for me.   Trees remind me of home, the woods,the meadow, District 12 ,the Willow tree I used to spend time at and.... "

I break off and look at the ground . I think Tyler knows why I broke off. He comes over to me and lifts my chin up.

" I know you miss them but you'll see sooner it later that everything's alright.  That everything will be okay" He said. 
"How can everything be okay, when my parents are dead ,Tyler?!  They're dead and I'm never going to get them back, they're dead." 

I start to tear up.
" You'll see." Tyler said. 
"Let's just go up their already, I can't wait for this to be over." I said. I start to hike and So does tyler.

It took us the whole day to reach the top. We are starving!   We haven't eaten a proper meal since before the Games started.   We are getting skinnier by the day.

It's awful and disgusting how the Capitol finds joy in seeing us suffer like this.  I am currently in the slim woods of the mountain searching for something to hunt.

Tyler and I decided to split up to cover more ground. Their are five tributes left, but technically four because we don't know who died from the fire yet .

In half and hour I got 2 rabbits and one bird.  It's sunset So I decide to go and look for a place to stay  and cook the meat.

I look for like another hour or So and find a cave different bushes.Now all I have to do is find Tyler.
"Tyler! " I yelled.  

" Over here!" He yells back. I see him down by a stream. He has an arrow know his hand and is stabbing the fishes with it. I go to him and say, "Come on we have to go.   It's getting late and we have to cook this before dark."

" We better if we don't want the Careers to find us.  " he said. I show him the cave I found.
" It's perfect." Tyler said .
" I mean,  it's hidden and we are warm at night." 

So we set up fire and cook the meat.  Then we immediately kill the fire off once we finished eating.  
" Okay," Tyler says
" Here's what I have found out about this mountain it has a small stream filled with fishes.The berries in the bushes are Nightlock so, we don't want that and there are a few nuts and small fruits in trees. But I suggest we stay with the fish since we don't know if the nuts and fruits are poisonous. " he finishes.

" Dang,Okay. I found out a little about the animals living here. We have to be careful because there are snakes here and they hide near Aqua Trees." "Aqua Trees?" Tyler asked.
" Aqua Trees are trees that hold a lot of water." I explain.

" Oh Okay." he said.
"  I also found out that there are several different birds and other animals in these parts and that's pretty much it ." I finish.  We hear the anthem play and see that the Capitol seal is on the sky.

"Let's see who died today, hopefully one of the careers.  " Tyler said.  When we look at the sky the face we see is Crystal's.   Crystal died!  Oh my God.   That means the finale is coming soon.

Four tributes left.

Tell me what you think guys. 

"The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers
Just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
Keep your eyes open"
-eyes open Taylor Swift
