"I thought you went home." I say.

"I never left." He says with a smile. It looks like him. It sounds like him. He extends his arms and i run into them. I look into his eyes and see the streaks of red. I take my knife and see one of the vines grab my ankle. "HELP!?!?" i scream. It's a spearing pain, that burns. I see red streaks raising up my leg and arm. I scream again and this time someone comes to help me. Sawyer. He cuts the vine and picks me up, he runs to the beach and sets me down on the beach sand.

"Is she going to be okay?" Jaylen asks. Sawyer looks at my injury, then shakes his head at hhJaylen. His head drops into his hands and i think he's sobbing but everything is getting fuzzy. "I'm Sorry Averix." He says to me. I'm Dieing.

    I'm Dieing. It doesn't feel like dieing. I feel groggy and sleepy. I smile at Nevaeh, and Sawyer. "Be Careful Okay?" I say to them through tears. They both nod. I put my hand on Jaylen's leg. My hand is bloody with either my blood or mutt Carter, i'm not sure. "Jaylen." I have to breath. My breathing is getting harder. "It's" Breath. "Okay" He nods. I stop talking and stare at the Arena sky. Thats when in feel the Vines poison taking over. i see darkness, but i know my eyes are open. I scream out. Theres a spearing pain in my head, i start to see visions of my family dieing in front of me. I see Carter with a spear in his stomach. I see Thread's fist flying towards me. I'm screaming out and i know it. Everything Goes Black. For some reason i start to hear singing:

Deep in the meadow, under the willow

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow

Lay down your head, and close your eyes

And when they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, and here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away

A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray

Forget your woes and let your troubles lay

And when it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe, and here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you.

    My eyes are open. I can see them. I can hear them. I can't move. I hear the sound of the cannon. I hear my cannon. I'm not dead. Why am i not dead? "We have to move her." Jaylen say. He walks away, into the jungle, when he comes back he has a large piece of bark.

"What are you doing?" Sawyer asks.

"I'm not letting her leave this way." Jaylen answers. "Navaeh go get those flowers over there." He points.  In a hour i'm on the bark with flowers all around me. Jaylen and Sawyer pushes the bark and i into the water and i float out. As i float out everything flashes before my eyes. The silence of District 12, My name being called by Linky, Carters smile, his laugh. My smile. Then it all fades away as the hovercraft grabs me from the water. When i'm up there fully, i see Carter. He puts his hand under my head and brings it to his shoulder. He cries. "I'm Sorry" He kisses my forehead and lays my head back down. He shuts my eyes with his fingers and i'm gone again.
