"Here." She was handed a piece of fish. "Thanks Finn." She takes a bite, the food giving pleasure to her growling stomach.

Suddenly there was a loud crashing sound, the four stood up and looked for the source. "That's new." Peeta muttered.

There was a huge wave coming from the north side of the Arena, trees fell like leafs. A cannon goes off meaning someone must have drowned. The wave splashes over the Cornucopia, and a Hovercraft picks up the body then leaves.

"Someones here." Katniss says pulling out her bow. The brunette pulls out her knife from her pack and takes a look.

"Its Beetee and Wiress." The two were covered in something; blood. She smiles when she sees Johanna.

"Johanna!" She calls running to the three, Finnick by her side. And of course he got there first since her ribs hurt like a mother trucker.\(*-*)/


"And that's when the rain started, at first i thought it was water. turns out it was blood. Thick blood. We ran and that's when Blight hit the force field." She stops. "He wasn't much but he was from home."

Ophelia frowned at Johanna, she looked sad for once.

"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock." Wiress called looking around. "Whats wrong with her?" Katniss asked.

"Shes in shock," Beetee replies taking off his glasses. "dehydration isn't helping either, do you have fresh water?" "We can get some." The dark haired girl said, as Wiress grabbed Johanna and started to say those words again.

"Tick tock, tick tock." Johanna pushes her to the ground and The brunette steps in, Katniss with the same idea.

"Hey!" Katniss says pushing her. "Stop!" Ophelia called pulling the blood covered girl back.

"I brought them back for you!" She yells to the dark haired girl as she was pulled away by Peeta.

"Let me go," She lets go and helps Wiress up. Katniss walks over to the two. "Come on lets get you cleaned up." The young girl says to the older woman.

"Tick tok, tick tock, tick tock." She says in reply.

Ophelia makes her way to Beetee and bent down to him, he was messing with some wire. "Where'd you get that?" She asks and he looks up. "The Cornucopia,"

"Whats it for?" "a surprise." She sighed; she was getting tired of secrets.

Lighting strikes a tree making her jump. "What the hel-"

"This entire Arena seems to be laid out like a clock, a new threat every hour but only within their wedge. It starts with the lighting, then the blood rain, fog, monkeys. That's the first four hours." Katniss explains as they walk on black rocks to the Cornucopia.

"At ten an epic wave hits from over there." "Wiress you're a genius." Finnick says to the woman.

"That's where the lighting strikes at midnight." "Where?" Beetee asks and she points. "That tree over there."

Peeta starts to draw on the dirt with his knife. "Wave, fog, blood, monkeys." He draws the different wedges.

There was a gasp and she looked to Wiress, her throat had been cut by none other than Gloss. He smiles and blows a kiss to the brunette. Her body fills with rage and she throws a knife at him, it lands in his heart. The others grab their weapons and start to fight as Cashnere, Brutus and Enobaria emerge. Then all of a sudden the Cornucopia starts to spin and Ophelia loses her balance.

"Ophelia!" She was thrown into the water.

She spun around in the dark water, the pressure almost too much for her ears. She tried to swim up to the surface but the current was too strong. Her lungs were on fire, and there was so much pressure on her head. Black spots flooded her vision, and finally after minutes of terror the water calmed down.

She swam up and grabbed onto a rock, sucking in deep breaths and coughing up water. Pain filled her chest as she did so.

"Ophelia!" Finnick ran up to her as she continued to cough. He grabbed her hand and helped her out of the water, and onto the Cornucopia.

He pulled her into his arms hugging her. She winced as he touched her back. "Whats wrong?" He turns her around and gasps as he sees a bite mark and scratches on her back.

"You're just falling apart. What happened?" She smiles and looks into his eyes. "I'm okay, it was a Mutt. Jumped on my back, but i got it off."

"I'm sorry i couldn't help you after you hit the force field, Peeta's heart stopped beating."

"Its fine, he would've been dead if you didn't save him." She grabs his hand and squeezes it. "You shouldn't feel guilty." He nods and looks to Katniss who had fallen in too.

"I suppose we should check on her?" "Yeah."
