100th Hunger Games

Can it get any worse?

Peeta is getting even worse by the minute now, the poison is really taking it's toll I'm not sure how much longer he can last. As I sit up Peeta starts to wake up, he is very weak so I careful sit him up and lean him against the cave wall while I find something for the group to eat. We have plenty of supplies so there is no need to hunt today and even if there was I couldn't leave Peeta alone not even for a minute. I find some bread and some strawberries within the supplies. I also take one bottle a water and take them all over to him. At first he tries to sip some of the water but he won't even touch the food, his appetite has gone right off and if he doesn't get it back there's not a lot left I can do. After around 30 minutes of trying to get Peeta to eat something I give up and lie against the wall stay as close as I could to him. "Mom, can Lucia, Kat and me go out hunting and gathering in the nearby river and forest? We'll stay close promise." Finn asks started to gather up his bow, sheath of arrows and a backpack with a few supplies.

"Yes okay" I replied "just make sure you stay close I'm already on the verge of losing one of you I couldn't bear to lose another." A tear comes to my eye at that moment just as Finn comes over hugs me goodbye and whispers,

"it's going to be okay, I promise," as he walks off out the cave and into the woods with Kat and Lucia close behind. All I do is stay close to Peeta and hope for the best.

Finn's POV

I kiss dad goodbye as I leave the cave to go out hunting for food. "it's going to be okay, I promise," mom whispered to me as I go. As soon as I'm out of the cave I'm on full alert for attackers. I step carefully through the forest looking for prey as I go along bit there's not many animals around at the moment so I decide to just stick to the river to fish for now as Kat and Lucia look around in some more trees an bushes. After a few hours of fishing, hunting and gathering, a ringing sound comes to us. "What's that noise?" I ask looking to Kat or Lucia for answers.

"I think it's coming for over there let's have a look." Lucia says running through the trees. I follow her until we get to a tree where the noise is at it's loudest. "What now?" Lucia says disappointed. I look around the forest scanning every little detail for a possible answer to the ringing.

"It's coming from there," I call as I start to climb the tree towards a small silver case. As I get closer and closer my nerves rise, what if it's something bad that could put all my family and friends at risk? I wipe that though from my head, the situation is already bad enough as it is. I reach for the tiny silver case, untangling it from the trees and wrapping it over my body.

"What is it Finn?" Kat asks as I touch the ground and unwrap the thing from around me.

"Not sure but now's the time to find out" I said clipping off the small para shoot and tucking it into my pocket. I release the catch in the case to see a small grey pot and a note on top. I read the note to myself with Kat and Finn looking over my shoulder. "Take once a day until poison drawn out, Good Luck, H." The note read. I instantly knew what it meant and surely this was for Peeta. "DAD!" I shouted as I picked up my backpack, medicine and note still I hand, and sprit back to the cave to tell Mom.

"Finn, Finn slow down please, wait for us!!" Kat an Lucia called from behind but this was no time for waiting. As I get back to the cave all is still the same, Dad is still in a terrible state and Mom still close to his side never wanting to let go.

"Mom, look what I found it's a sponsor from Haymitch, Medicine for Dad, look Mom, look!" I say eagerly. She takes the pot and note from my hand gives a small smile and opens the pot to find around 15 tiny glass bottles of liquid. She immediately opens 1 small bottle and carefully opens Dad's mouth and pours in the medicine until it's all gone.

"Thank you Finn, Kat, Lucia and especially Haymitch. You may have just saved the one person's life who in which if you hadn't I could never live again without." Mom says, she kisses mine, Kat, and Lucia's foreheads before cuddling back into Peeta and hoping for the best.
