Grayson had fallen asleep but still opened his eyes in the morning to the sting of where the tears had been the night before. He almost couldn’t fight the urge telling him to stay in bed. But the need for water was too much, navigating his way to the kitchen when he spotted the card and bracelet. Having not come home after the ball until late the next morning he had not seen it considering he was in a fit of hysteria. Curiosity tugging at his brain he picked up the parcel, poking his head outside and looking both left to right. He hadn’t seen anyone but as he was about to shut the door he was stopped by a voice calling out.

Though he would never say it out loud, Austin was almost shocked his tributes were still in the game. He wasn’t expecting them to be killed, but the chances of a District Five tribute making it this far were low, very low. He watched the screen as the clouds rolled in and the snow began falling, knowing that now would be time time he needed to begin doing something for his tributes. He scribbled a few reminders for himself on a piece of paper and continued to keep his eyes locked on the screen. “Please be smart.” He muttered to himself as if he was speaking to the tributes.

After having just fought off another tribute to get a backpack, Cooper stopped in his place. As everyone around him was fighting, some even dying, he found himself searching for Ember. He had lost tabs on her when he and Nox began fighting over the bag, and now he couldn’t find her anywhere. Panic flooded him as he looked at the dead bodies already on the ground, hoping that Ember wouldn’t be among them. Realizing she wasn’t one of the unlucky tributes, he stopped looking at the lifeless bodies and turned in a half circle before spotting her. But it wasn’t just her he saw when he turned. The males from Eight and Four were just steps from her and that was enough for Cooper’s protective instincts to take over as he began to sprint towards them.
