I wake to a wet heavy mist on my face. I roll over to pet Peri, who is fast asleep. My fingers stroke through her Fur as the moist on my face drys. Peri wakes. Her eyes dart toward me. She licks my face. I laugh. The wolfhound jumps on my chest. "Enough Peri." I laugh. She jumps off me, and curls up once again. I smile. I push on the ground, and pull my self up. All I can see is a dense fog.
"Mia?!" I shout. I walk into the fog. I see a few other people asleep, but no Mia. Someone taps my shoulder. I turn around to see Mia, thank goodness. "What's all this fog about?" I frown. "Don't know. But we need to leave. Wake everyone up, now." Mia ushers me. "Wh-" She cuts me off. Mia makes some loud noise, and everyone wakes. But I don't see Peeta, nor Katniss. Something happened in the night. Something bad. I run to my stuff and scramble it all into my bag. Peri growls.
"Peri, come on." I whisper. She gets up and walks beside me. The air dense on her Fur. I get close to the group. Mia grabs her lantern from the side of her bag. It must still be early in the morning because I see no light, not even a break of sun between the fog and the trees. I grab my lantern as well, and flick it on. The light breaks up the fog. I walk closer to the other light, Mia. "Where is Katniss and Peeta" I ask. Her eyes look at me, watery.
"Katniss went into the Forest last night, to hunt for a while. I guess she never came back, and Peeta went to look for her. That was four hours ago. Peeta and Katniss, I think they are dead.." She brightens her Lantern. "Why are we leaving if they could still be alive? We could search for them!" I shout. Mia looks at me. "Katniss would have sent out a signal if she was in trouble. There was no signal. She would have come back by now. With out her, District 13 will kill us in seconds. We need to get out of their reach. We need to get to Erisol."
I nod. I stay silent for a long time. About fourty five minutes later, we stop. Mia hushes the group. I hear foot steps. "Who is there." Mia bites her lip. A figure steps into view. They dart out of my sight. I chase them. Mia follows me. My feet feel like Springs, bouncy and soft. I chase the figure for a long time. My feet get tired. Peri barks behind me. I fall down. "Can we camp here?" I yawn. Mia smiles and nods.
I put everything out of my bag and set up my stuff. I finish and lay on my sleeping bag. I roll up my sleeve. My old watch reads the time of 2:21am. I frown. My eyes Blink slowly asleep. I dream of Erisol. I imagine it as a country, with lights, cities and busy people. I imagine that every night when all the lights are out, people will watch the stars up ahead. I imagine they think of their neighboring country and wonder why they never come here. I imagine they have better technology than us. I imagine it's a safe place, with no Hunger Games.
My eyes show no more dreams for a long time. I feel a dense cold on my lips. My body gets warm. I force my eyes shut, but they open. The figure, lays on top of me, a boy figure. I close my eyes, and feel warmth on my lips. I flick my eyes open slightly. The mysterious figure kissed me.
