Lilo, Juniper, and Kakalina all stood in a grassy area near the outskirts of District Four. Under a large tree. The grass was well kept in the area, it was the place the family always went to have lunch. However this time, two stones laid in the ground.

14ADD-66ADDThey weren't perfect, Juniper had to actually carve their parents name into them herself. She had to take a few tries on different rocks because she kept messing up the spelling.
They couldn't afford to get real headstones. There was nothing buried underneath them either, their bodies couldn't be recovered.
Lilo was hugging her grandmother in tears, her face buried into her grandmothers shirt. Lilo had almost passed out from the amount she was crying, Kakalina had to bring her home.
Juniper stood in front of the gravestones all day and only got back home at night.
It was her fault.
She could've provided to the family more, she could've gotten a better job to make more money. Her parents had to go back to work, and they had died. It was because of her.
It was her fault.
The sea had taken away her parents, what if she went instead? Lilo would still have her parents to grow up with, they wouldn't have to miss her becoming a teenager, they wouldn't have missed her milestones. They could see her growing up.
Juniper took that away from Lilo. She had ruined her childhood.
"Run!"
It was her fault.
"Run!" Another scream was let out by Katniss. Finnick helped Juniper up by her arms, taking her wrist and running down the hill.
"What is it?" Juniper yelled, looking behind her.
Oh.
"The fog, it's poisonous!" Katniss yelled again. Katniss led the way while Peeta, Finnick, and Juniper followed. The four ran in the jungle, unaware of where exactly they were headed. They had no set destination, but they needed to get away from the fog.
It was no use though, it started circling them on either sides and was gaining more ground then they were.
Finnick eventually let go of Junipers arm when the two were separated by a few trees, but they kept running the same direction. Peeta tripped ahead of them and Juniper picked him back up from his right arm and Katniss grabbed his left, attempting to drag him along.
