Princess of Panem

1.6

The morphling was being taken away when the pair from twelve returned. Artemis was still slightly limping but was a lot better. "You guys rest we'll keep watch." Katniss announced. "No I should stay up in case my leg starts something." Artemis said Katniss went to argue but that's when she saw the look she was giving Finnick.

And Katniss realized they knew their district partners were likely out here by now others probably knew the jungle was dangerous and came to the beach or if Cordelia was like Finnick the water was home and she'd be here and Finnick would try to look and Artemis was the only one able to stop him. Katniss nodded and sat next to Peeta who had some water coming out of a branch and was rubbing his scabs. "Don't itch them it'll cause an infection." Katniss warned their allies before copying her district partner and falling asleep.

"If you bring me vines and leaves I can weave." Artemis told Finnick who nodded bring them for her and doing it with her. After three had been made Artemis got up and filled two with water while Finnick took the other near the ocean and got shellfish and whole fish. While he was gone Katniss woke up it'd been a few hours. "Finnick is getting food." Artemis handed the teen an empty branch that could be used as a cup. Katniss looked at it in confusion before her eyes widened seeing the two baskets of water and Artemis working on another.

Finnick handed Katniss a fish he managed to catch five. "You have two the rest of us will have one you're feeding another life." He added when Katniss went to protest. She forgot should she throw up soon or something. "Isn't raw fish bad for them?" Artemis asked. "That's what Cor told Reign." She added. "We can't start a fire." Finnick told her. Artemis seemed to weigh her options. "Let's wake up Peeta." Katniss interrupted. Finnick whispered an idea and the three leaned right in front of the boy. "Peeta wake up." Katniss whispered the boy slowly opened his eyes before screaming and pushing himself backwards. After he'd calmed down he gave attention to the conversation Artemis and Finnick were having about fire.

"We could, the four of us could definitely take on the Careers plus Atlas and Cor should be somewhere nearby." Finnick seemed to perk up at that and looked around as if his district partner was there. "Or we could start a fire put it out and use the remaining heat?" Peeta whispered unsure. Artemis smiled at him. "I told you Boy on Fire is smart." Katniss raised an eyebrow at the nickname while Peeta smiled feeling useful. They made four and cooked the fish. Artemis could see it hurt Finnick slightly because it reminded him of home.

The places where the fog had been were slowly turning into scabs. Artemis groaned. "We need medicine." Katniss smirked standing up and looking around. "Hey! Haymitch if you're not too drunk we could use a little something for our skin." Peeta laughed. Soon enough a chiming sound was heard and a parachute descended.

~ Cordelia and Atlas ~

"We should start moving we lost some watch time." Atlas announced as he woke up after their fourth rotation. The sun was high and there was no way either could sleep. Cordelia turned to the side to get the pack they'd been using as a pillow when she came face to face with a wall of water and a scream. The water disappeared like a wave. "WATER!" She looked at Atlas like he was insane. "It's a spile." He announced opening the pack. He took out the weird metal faucet thing and the bottle he looked around and found a rock. He pushed the spile into a tree and left the bottle under. Suddenly water came spilling out shocking Cordelia. After the bottle was full Atlas went under and drank some before allowing her to.

"How did you figure that out?" She questioned as they walked down towards the beach. "The water reminded me of when Johanna showed it to us. We were right near a lake and the water was moving a bunch with a bunch of waves and we sat right next to it and had the sap from the tree." Cordelia smiled hearing the story. She didn't care too much she got water but that wave scared her. She wouldn't have been able to outrun it and there was no way she could be sure she could swim it or stay a float. "I can't wait to get the hell out of this jungle." She glared at the trees. The pair slowly descended till they could see the Cornucopia but not the beach behind it. The Careers were nowhere to be found. "Damnit." And they had to set up a watch.
