Princess of Panem

It was deceiving the water. It felt just like the ocean in four but it wasn't it was Capitol water. Cordelia didn't realize she was at the Cornucopia till her fingers grazed the rock she latched on and pulled herself up. Atlas was close by running on the rocks Gloss just barely behind him. She ran to the four belts she clipped one on her waist the other she threw at Atlas who caught it. She threw the third on the floor to Artemis, she ran to the other side hoping to find what she needed. "Duck." The man in front of her fell Katniss and Finnick on the other side. She tossed him a belt with a wink.

"She's on our side." He told Katniss before giving her more instructions. She'd feel better now knowing Finnick had knives and his trident. She found another trident and a couple of spears. The spears had a holder you could strap on your back. She grabbed a machete that also had a strap she put that on before looking for Atlas. The man was breaking the neck of another tribute. He noticed the spears and ran over grabbing them with a quick thanks. The trident would have to be carried unfortunately.

There was a crate. It was deep inside and would leave her open but it was likely valuable she nodded towards Atlas and ran to it throwing it on her back. The Careers were watching an open Katniss and Peeta. She grabbed a small axe laying near her and threw it at Brutus. All four turned to her and Atlas. "Run!" They had the head start and managed to make it into the jungle. The Careers stopping when they reached the beach.

"What's in it?" Atlas asked as they both leaned against trees. Cordelia shrugged falling down breathing hard. After calming down she opened it. There were a few packets of dried food and a metal thing. "The hell is this?" Atlas inspected it as well. "I recognize it but I don't know what it is." Cordelia glared at him. "I recognize it but I don't know what it is. Then you didn't recognize it." Atlas shook his head. "There wasn't another pair of bow and arrows. If there was I didn't see it." Cordelia ran a hand through her hair. "That makes our job difficult."

Suddenly a twig snapped. Cordelia grabbed the machete and trident. Atlas had a spear ready along with a knife. The female from five stepped out Cordelia threw the trident and the woman fell dead immediately. "We need to leave, a hovercraft will be here soon and announce our position." Atlas nodded he threw the pack on while Cordelia put the machete back in her sleeve. She grabbed the trident trying not to flinch at the blood. Atlas lead her across the jungle till they were on the other side. She'd made her first kill.

"We need to be careful hopefully they go out to hunt." Cordelia nodded looking up at the sun. "I'm going to climb a tree see if I can get a view." Atlas nodded and launched her up. Just as she was about to descend an arrow shot up from a little ways away from them. Probably a twenty-thirty minute walk. Idiots. The male from nine was a bit away from her. He wasn't an ally so he was a threat. "Atlas toss me a spear." She called out. She whispered a quick prayer for the man before aiming.

~ Artemis and Finnick ~

"Is she an idiot?!" Finnick tried to shut Artemis up but she didn't catch the hint. "She basically gave our position away." Peeta looked at Katniss worried but the teen shrugged. "We're far enough unless they were up in the trees like I was they won't know exactly where we are." Artemis didn't seem to agree but kept quiet. A cannon boomed in the distance. Artemis now sent him a warning look. "Well I guess we're not all holding hands." Katniss sent him a glare. "You think that's funny?" Artemis slowly inched towards Peeta if Katniss pulled something she would. "Everytime that cannon goes off, it's music to my ears. I don't care about any of them." Lie, Artemis thought every time one went off for a moment they both worried about their love, maybe a friend.

"Good to know." Katniss pulled out a machete. Artemis put a hand on the hilt of a knife. Peeta sensing the tension stood up. "Let's keep moving." Artemis sighed she had wanted to stop multiple times but they had to wait for Katniss to want to and now they would both walk fast in anger. "Children." Peeta snorted at the woman's comment. "I'm sorry about your...lover?" Artemis let out a laugh. "Wife, she's my wife." Peeta nodded seeing the ring she showed him on her left ring finger. "She's from district 7." Peeta smiled hearing her speak about her lover. "It's how I knew you truly love Katniss you look at her the same way my wife looks at me." Peeta looked down with a blush.
