 Katniss was the first to move, arming two arrows into her bow, and Finnick and Velren adjusting their tridents in their hands. Celestia nocked an arrow in her own bow and looked anxiously at the hunched form of Peeta's back while Aurora slowly gripped one of her knives.  "Peeta. " Katniss said as calmly as possible. "I need your help with something."

"Okay, just a minute. I think I've just about got it." he said back casually, oblivious as to what was going on. He still leaned against a tree and carved at it with his knife. "Yes, there. Have you got the spile?" "I do. But we've found something you'd better take a look at." Katniss continued in a measured voice. "Only move toward us quietly, so you don't startle it."

"Huh?" Peeta grumbled and looked back from the tree to the other five worried-looking tributes standing just a few meters away. He tilted his head in confusion before he turned back to the tree. Peeta let out a yell and jumped back as he came face to face with a snarling monkey. "Whoa."

The monkeys saw Peeta's gaze as a kind of threat and began to screech as they rushed towards the group. Velren, with the speed of a predator, attacked them immediately. His trident flashed dangerously as he speared one monkey after another, tossing them aside in a seemingly effortless motion. But despite his quick and precise attacks, the threat did not seem to diminish, as new monkeys kept appearing as if he had never killed them.

Finnick stood back to back with Velren and fought  with the same determination. His trident glided smoothly through the air, his gaze steady and focused as he speared the attackers and tossed their lifeless bodies aside. But even the combined efforts of the two seemed insufficient to stem the endless tide of monkeys.

Suddenly, one of the monkeys cut open Aurora's arm, causing her to let out a cry of pain, and Finnick speared the monkey with his trident. The monkey's lifeless body slumped to the ground. Aurora overcame the pain pulsing through her ripped open arm and stabbed at the attacking creatures with furious stabs of her knife.
