Venus:

I opened my eyes and stayed still. I could hear several people laughing very closely. Just as I was about to slowly stand up, some of the branches wrapped around me and picked me up softly so I wouldn't make a sound. They opened up to reveal a group of about six people. I recognized them as all of the warriors reaped for the games. There was Max Stanley and Whiplash from District 2 along with Percy Wild and Wendy Wickerson from District 4 and the twins Burn and Abby Jones. They were eating under the tree in a group, I'm guessing they all became allies for this point in the games until they turn there backs on each other. The leaves intertwined together and put me down. They began to put everything into my bag as silent as the wind and placed it on my back. I thought on how I was going to get down. I had to search for Shawn and couldn't waste anytime if he wasn't dead already. Well there all together so I guess I could take several out. I smiled as I opened my bag silently and took out the space gun. I thought on how much better it would look if it was a sniper. I took out the extra tools and immediately got to work. By the time they finished eating, I finished building. They started to walk away from the clearing as I positioned myself. I breathed out and shot. One of the girls from District 6 fell and they all rushed to her side. When they looked back at the tree it was my cue to run. I hopped out of the tree and ran, my newly built sniper in my bag. I suddenly had a burst of adrenaline and before I knew it I was running on all fours. When I finally felt safe I stopped, panting and hyperventilating. I was extremely thirsty. I looked around me, I'm sure there is no water anywhere near here. I looked around me at the tall trees, I guess I'm going to have to take the water from the tree. Just as I was about to place my hands on the trunk of the tree, the sound of trickling water caught my ear. I looked to my left where the sound was coming from. I began to walk towards it, stepping through vines and ducking under low hanging branches. Just as I was about to step out of the thick woods I heard a shout. I froze when I felt something metal touch my head.

"I got the other one from District Twelve!" Whiplash yelled

I was pushed forward roughly, luckily my bags were invisible so they wouldn't be able to take them away. I was pushed onto the edge of a cliff where there was Percy had Shawn on his knees. His eyes met mine as I was pushed forward next to him and told to kneel. I felt my bags slip off my sides and I sighed as they had guns pointed at our heads.

"I guess this is the end" Shawn whispered

I shook my head, I had to get us out of here. I looked down at myself and thought. Im gonna have to expose my powers today. Wendy walked up to us and gave us a pouty face.

"Aw there trapped! We might just end you guys quicker if you completely surrender and say "Queen Wendy"" she said kneeling to our level

"I don't submit to anyone" I spat causing her to flinch

"Kill this one first" she said standing up and walking away

Shawn began to struggle and I smiled as a gun was aligned to my head. I looked up at Whiplash and laughed

"Sadly you cant shoot something you cant see" I said with a smirk

He frowned and I went Invisible.

"She disappeared!" he yelled and Percy's jaw dropped

I got up and took the gun out of his hands, shooting him and knocking Percy unconscious. The rest flew into panic as I threw there things into the river below and chasing them around with weapons. They fled into the forest and I became visible. Shawn's jaw dropped and I looked at him as I panted.

"You gonna keep staring or are we gonna go heal up that wound of yours?" I asked pointing at his arm that had a deep cut in it.

He nodded and we both stood up. I went to where my bags were made them visible throwing one at Shawn and picking up the other. We began to walk along the river in silence as we made our way to find camp. We chose a small place slightly hidden in the river bank. We set our things down and still stayed silent. I sat down beside Shawn and began to clean the wound.

"I'm gonna need some type of ointment for this" I said shaking my head

The wound had gotten infected and water wasn't going to do much.

"Well I guess its gonna stay like that" he said with a sigh

"Mm no no its not" I said

I swept my hand over the top of the ground and an aloe plant sprouted. Shawn watched in amazement as I cupped my hands around the plant and it began to grow, I stopped it when It was big enough to give me the aloe I needed. I broke off a chunk and opened it, rubbing the aloe on his wound.

"How did you do that?" he asked as I wrapped the room in several palm leaves I grew

"You asked me that the first time and what did I say?" I asked finishing up the wrapping

"Wha- you remember that?" he asked his face turning slightly red

"Yeah, I mean I didn't until the interviews but yes I do remember" I said sitting back to admire my work

He nodded and I got up to get some of the bug spray from my bag.

"I'm hungry and this smell of bird isn't helping" I said spraying the bug spray on myself

"Smell of bird?" he asked nervously, catching the bug spray can when I threw it at him

"Yeah, I think its on my clothes cause this smell of bird is following me everywhere" I said clutching my stomach hungrily

He looked slightly nervous. Just when I was about to question him I heard a rustle from a bush on the right. My head snapped in its direction and I smelled rabbit. I suddenly jumped forward into the brush and caught the rabbit, sinking down into it with my teeth until it stopped moving. I licked my lips clean and then realized what I had done.

"Okay, I've gone wild" I said to myself as I walked back to Shawn

He was collecting things for a fire when I walked in and dropped the rabbit before him.

"Bite mark.." he said pointing at it

"Instinct" I said back with a shrug

I skinned the rabbit and caught him just staring at the unlit fire place. I cocked my head to the side as he looked down at his hands nervously.

"You scared I'll jump into the fire? I wont do that, I'll probably touch it but whatever" I said looking up from my work

He looked up at me and smiled lightly.

"Its not that" he said

He touched a piece of wood and his finger suddenly caught fire, the flames spreading onto the wood and starting the fire off. I gasped and my eyes widened. The feeling I got when Shawn touched me, the attractiveness like I did with fire, was because Shawn was fire! He had the power of fire and he just used it! He laughed lightly at my reaction.

"Now you see why I was nervous around you after you said you were attracted to fire?" he said with a smirk

I blushed and my cheeks turned red. I looked down at the rabbit carcass and continued my work. HE laughed and I heard a whoosh of something. I looked up and he was gone. Suddenly he appeared again with a squirrel in his hand. My jaw dropped again.

"It also explains the bird smell that you keep smelling: he said, tossing me the squirrel.

I smiled and began to work on the squirrel skin. SO I wasn't the only special left in the galaxy! All of Shawn's behaviors made sudden sense. When I finished we roasted the animals and I stared at the fire. I reached for the top of the fire and passed my hand over the top. Shawn watched curiously as I smiled as the flames wrapped around my hands. I loved feeling the heat around my hand although it would begin to burn in a few minutes. I pulled my hand away and felt cold. After we ate, Shawn and I sat side by side propped up against a log. Our wrist flashed, mine purple and his red. A projection appeared and showed the dead.

Whiplash 17, District 2

Abby Jones 18, District 6

Miranda Grace 15, District 5

Norma Terrence 12, District 1

The projection came off and there was an awkward silence. There were only 17 of us left.

"Do you like writing your own music?" I asked suddenly

"Well yeah, I mean I write and play my own music but I usually keep it to myself" he said, tossing a small ball of flame from one hand to another

"Well I think its catchy" I said with a smile

He looked at me strangely and I laughed

"You started humming to yourself on the ship here" I explained

"Oh okay" he said with a sigh of relief and crushing the small ball of flames in his hand

"Could you sing one for me?" I asked resting my head on his shoulder with a yawn

"Sure" he said wrapping his arm around me

I thought that I've been hurt before

But no ones ever left me quite this sore

Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breath me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under

But I know that ill make it out alive

If I quit calling you my lover

Move on

He sang in a low voice, which began to drift me off to sleep. His beautiful voice filling my ears as his arms were wrapped around me. So this is love....
