As the group wandered through the dark jungle, Velren played restlessly with the ring which Isabella had given him at the beginning of the deadly games. At one point in their journey up to the lightning tree, the Panem Hymn rang out and everyone stopped to stare up at the sky. It was a moment of complete silence while the sky was lit up with holographic images of fellow victors who had since died. When the sky went black again, the group paused for a few seconds before they continued to walk in silence.
Beetee spotted the tree first and came to a halt. Then he took off his glasses to really scrutinize it. "Minimal charring. It's an impressive conductor. Let's get started." Beetee wrapped his spool of wire around the huge roots of the tree while the others stood guard. Once most of the work was done, Beetee tied off the loose pieces.
"Typically a lightning strike contains five billion joules of energy. We don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity when this hits." Beetee explained to them and handed the spool to Johanna before he looked at Velren, Katniss and Aurora. "You three girls, go together now. Take this. Unspool it carefully. Make sure the entire coil is in the water,understand? And Velren, you go with them as a guard. Then head to the tree at the two o'clock sector, we'll meet you there."
"I'm gonna go with them as a guard too." Peeta said immediately, as he was less willing than ever to let Katniss out of his sight. "No, no, no." Beetee contradicted him and pushed his glasses further up his nose. "You're staying here to protect me. And the tree." "No, I need to go with her." Peeta repeated. "There are two Careers out there." Beetee said. "I need two guards."
"There are two Careers out there, so they need two guards." Peeta said and pointed to the three girls. "Finnick can protect you just fine on his own." "Why can't Velren, Finnick,Aurora and Johanna stay with you and Peeta and I'll take the coil?" Katniss asked,defedning her 'fiance'. "You all agreed to keep me alive till midnight, correct?" Beetee asked as he approached Katniss, who he looked at over his glasses.
