Cato's POV: I awoke to the smell of smoke. Ivy was already on the ground rushing to pick up our camp. "What's going on?" I asked as I joined her on the forest floor. "Game Makers thought nothing was happening for too long, decided to set half the forest on fire." Ivy gasped, beginning to choke on the smoke that began to make its way into camp. The fire was beginning to close around the edges cutting off any way to run. I turned to Ivy who was also walking back toward the over hang, "Do you trust me?" She turned fear evident in her eyes and voice "Yes." "Then jump." I said reaching out a hand as we both jumped toward the water. As soon as we jumped the fire consumed our camp. Quickly swimming up to the surface I turned to dry land before dumping my sack and diving back in for Ivy, who was weighed down by the sack she carried. Scooping her up I dragged her onto land were, thankfully, she started coughing. Pulling the sack off herself she began to undo her jacket. I could feel my cheeks gain color, Ivy turned to me, mid- way. "Cato keeping wet clothes are going to get you sick. Especially if it gets cold." I nodded before starting to taking off my wet clothes. "But Cato? Please keep on your undergarments. I don't need to see 'it'. " I nodded chuckling to myself quietly. She could have blood all over herself, she could scare grown men, and she could threaten like it was second nature, but she couldn't see the human male anatomy. Night had fallen as we both had blanket pulled over us, our wet clothes hung out on a line of twine she found and tied to two sticks. "The clothes aren't going to dry any faster if you stare at them." I said as she turned to me before picking up a pebble and knocking it at me. "I know that doofus, we just lost most of our food to the fire. We're going to have to hunting soon."
