"The force field is a dome. We're on the edge of the arena. Me and Katniss couldn't find any signs of fresh water" Ember said, pacing back and fourth in front of her alliance. "It's gonna get dark soon, we'd be safe with our backs protected. We should set up camp. Take turns sleeping. I can take first watch" Finnick said. "Not a chance" Ember scoffed. "baby, that thing I did back there for Peeta, that was called saving his life. I carried you around when your were bleeding out from your leg. If I wanted to kill any of you, I would have done it by now" Finnick said, making the pair bicker like a married couple and Mags was being entertained. Katniss turns to Peeta, "Why don't you get some rest?" "I'll take first watch" Ember said, she wasn't one for sleeping on any occasion, especially not with these circumstances.
"Just for a bit, Ember" Peeta said. Ember helps up Mags and looks over at Finnick.
As the night crept in, Peeta lay asleep next to a tree, Katniss watching him. "How's Peeta?" Finnick asked, taking a seat beside Ember. "He's okay, I think" Ember said, "Dehydrated like the rest of us." The Panem Anthem begins to play, causing Ember's head to spike up and Peeta, Mags and Cornelia to awake. "Eight" Ember said, Finnick humming in agreement. Ember then begins to hear chimes, causing her to look around. "Em, you okay?" Finnick asked, looking down at her. "Hey" Katniss said, looking at the sponsor drone coming towards them. Katniss races over to get it, Finnick and Ember trailing behind.
"Drink up?" Katniss said in confusion. Ember smiles at the sight of the "H". "What is it?" Finnick asked, catching Ember's smile caused him to smile slightly. "It's from dad" Ember smiles, picking up the small funnel, "I think it's a spile." "A what?" Katniss asked, looking at Finnick as Ember races to find a tree. Ember hammers it into a tree with a stone, water starting the flow through the funnel. Peeta comes up behind them, Cornelia staying with Mags. "Emmie, you're a genius" Finnick said, smiling in shock, "You're a goddamn genius" He chuckles slightly. As she backs away from the spile, Finnick kisses her cheek. Ember smiles as everyone starts to have sips from the spile and when Finnick does, he covers his face in the water too, catching Ember off guard and it was hard to admit that she was starting to fall in love with him, for real instead of trying to piss Snow off.
"Let me get a leaf" Finnick said as Ember took a drink from the spile. "I needa get some for Mags" Finnick said. Ember smiled as she seen how much Finnick cared for her. "I can take it over to her... if you want? You look like you could use some more water" Ember said. "Yeah... yeah okay" Finnick said, carefully holding the leaf to Ember and she keeps it balanced as she walks over to Mags. "Got you some water" Ember smiled, lowering the leaf to her, "Easy, easy" Mags leave a small sip of water left for Ember and she takes her hand, a smile crossing her face. "Cornelia, do you want it? You look like you need it more than I do" Ember said, holding the leaf out to her. "Yeah, thanks" Cornerlia smiled, taking the leaf gently and finishing the water.
