We reach the bottom of the hill.
That really hurt.
I look over to Annabeth to see if she was okay.
"Did we loose him?" I ask helping her up.
"I think." She says.
I take a step back and an arrow flys in the spot I would've been in.
I see the bow user walking down the hill we just tumbled down.
He has his bow aimed.
An arrow flys towards his chest and hits him perfectly.
He fall to the ground and a cannon goes off symbolizing that he was dead.
The person who shot the arrow was right behind us I could imagine have there bow aimed at us.
"NOW!" I say.
Annabeth and I turn quickly.
I have no idea who this is.
I swing my sword revolving his/her's bow to fall to the ground.
Annabeth already has her pinned to a tree. Dagger at her throat.
It was Katniss.
Her eyes wide with fear.
Annabeth's looked like storm clouds.
My sword still raised I studied Katniss.
She was looking at me like I should be doing something.
She had the basic outfit for the hunger games. 
"Well? Are you going to let me go out just stare at me?" She says.
"How do we know you're not gonna kill us?" Annabeth says tightening her grip.
"Percy." Katniss says as if I'm supposed to back her up.
"Okay, okay. Come on. Annabeth you can let go."
Annabeth gave me a stern look but then let go.
Katniss picked up her bow and studied it.
She looked up at me.
Back at her bow.
"You dented my bow." She says.
"Uh." I stammer.
"Go get me the one over there."
I turn around to go.
I walk over to the masked bow user.
I unhood him, it was the girl from 8.
She looked peaceful.
I shook my head and stole the quiver of arrows and the bow.
I walk back over to Katniss and Annabeth.
Annabeth glares at me. I know she's mad at me. It's because I let Katniss "team" with us.
Katniss takes the bow from me and hides her broken, actually it's dented. It should work perfectly normal. Anyways she hides her dented bow under a bunch of leaves and grass.
No one would ever look there.
"How long has it been since you guys ate?" She asks.
Annabeth and I look at each other.
"Did we even eat at all yet?" She asks.
"Now to think of it I'm starving," I say.
"I'll go hunt. I'm also hungry." Katniss says," just don't go far from here. We'll meet back here in about an hour."
Annabeth and I nod.
As Katniss walks away Annabeth slaps me in the arm.
"What the heck?" I ask rubbing it.
"What are you thinking? Teaming? That's just one more person to betray, to loose and to kill in the end."
I didn't think this through.
Annabeth gets up.
"Come on we might as well gather some herbs and plants and such. I studied a lot in training and I know Katniss know a lot about it as well."
I get up as well.
"Okay let's go."
Annabeth kisses her hand and then places it on my arm that she slapped.
"Aweeeeee." I say almost teasingly to her.
She shakes her head trying not to smile.
"Come on seaweed brain."
I hold her hand. It fits perfectly in mine like it always did.
"Okay wise girl. Let's go find salad!"

"And these are Katniss roots," Annabeth says pulling up some type of root from the ground.
"Are you saying Katniss is named after Katniss roots...?" I ask.
"Yes." She says ripping up a big one from the ground.
"Can you wash em' they're all covered in dirt." She asks.
I look around.
A small pond sat near us.
I made some water float over to Annabeth's hands and then forced the water down causing a big splash.
Annabeth was soaked.
Oops.
She looks up at me like 'you did not just do that'
"Sorry..."
"Yeah yeah yeah, come on I think we have enough." She says putting the Katniss roots in our backpack that's also filled with herbs.

"Annabeth!" We hear someone say with excitement in the persons voice.
We whip around.
Weapons raised.
A smiling Max was walking towards us, holding a spear.
Annabeth tenses but puts down her dagger.
I also put my sword down.
"Annabeth! Percy! Hi! Is Katniss with you guys away." He asks.
"Yes I am." Katniss says coming out from the tree. Bow aimed.
Annabeth glares at Katniss to stop pointing her bow at him.
She puts it down.
"Annabeth, why are you wet?" Katniss asks.
"Yeah, I was gonna ask the same thing." Max says leaning up against his sword.
Annabeth looks at me and crosses her arms.
"Percy, would you like to explain why I'm wet?" She says.
"Um, is there a water source near by?" I ask.
I could feel everyone facepalm.
"How are we setting up camp?" Max asks.
Katniss raises an eyebrow at him.
"How can I even trust you." She says.
Oh I kinda forgot that Katniss and Max and didn't talk much.

This was going to be a long day.
