IX

Close to the middle of the night, Thalia
was woken up by Panem's anthem
playing. The faces of the dead victors or
tributes now showed up. Thalia felt a
nothing for them. She had seen them as
family but the ones show, she was never
close with.

Later 12 gongs sounded and then silence.
This confused her as it had never happened before, perhaps midnight or
the number of districts. She didn't know
and she didn't like it.

It had began to get lighter a couple of
hours after the mysterious sounds, when
she heard shouts and screams. Then they
stopped, maybe someone had died.

She decided to climb down and check it
out, they may have left something useful.
It took an hour to get to the beach and start to head in the direction where the
screaming was. But figures burst out from
the trees ahead of her.

Ducking into the bushes at the side she
stayed crouched to see who it was. Two of
them seemed to be carrying the third.

She decided to make her presence known,
throwing a knife at the neck of the one
being carried. It shocked all of them as
they dropped to the ground. The canon
blow for the person Thalia just killed. As
she approached she saw who it was
better.

Finnick, the one closest to the trees.
'Finnick' she called out running over to
him and jumping into his outstretched
arms.

'Oh Thalia I'm so glad you're not dead. It's
so good to see you are ok.' He said into
her shoulder as he spun her around
making her giggle as it always did. Finnick
knew that.

When she was finally set down she turned
to the 2 others that had been with him.

Katniss and Peter.

Both of whom where now storming over
to her. She sheathed her sword and lay it
on the floor, wanting to actually fight
these two first.

'Why would you do that?' Katniss shouted
in her face referring to the dead
morphling. Thalia punched her in the face
as she replied.

'She was dying anyway and it's the arena what else and I meant to do, do a dance for
her while she dies.' Harshly spoken. The
punch throw Katniss off and Thalia was
able to get a few more good hit on before
Finnick picked her up by the waist and
walked away with her sword in hand. She
would kill him if he just left it lying there.

"Calm down will you. We need them to
help us kill the others so don't kill them
until then please.' He said making up a
fake excuse for her to believe. Also
keeping his face as natural as possible as
Thalia was great at reading people.

'Fine but then I kill them and if you stop
me. I kill you.' She promised making her
brother gulp audibly.

Thalia decided to go for a swim whilst she
could technically relax. Later there were more shouts coming from the jungle and
three people came out covered in
something dark, red. Blood.

They weren't exactly quiet so Thalia was
able to tell who it was quite easily.
'Joanna' she yelled at her.

'Oh Thalia, I'm so happy that you're ok.'
She said picking the girl up in her arms
and squeezing her tight as though she
were worried she might disappear.

Wirus and Beetee were behind as the two
embraced. Katniss, Finnick and Peter all
came up.

Wirus had started to panic and went up to
Joanna and Thalia saying repeatedly tick
tock, Thalia lightly pushed her away but because she was so weak. Wirus ended up
falling backwards.

'Hey watch it' Katniss yelled at her
pushing her away and going to help
Wirus.

'I didn't even do anything, barely pushed
her and she fell over. Don't go round
pushing me or I'm kill you.' She
threatened slowly advancing on her Joanna pulled her back.

Everyone had calmed down an hour later
and was just sitting on the beach.
