Sunrises are always beautiful

[Christina Robins]

"Um.." But she doesn't ask questions. With a koud whisper of calling Clove's name-- Robin scurried through the house. "Clove! Clove...! Where are you?!"

[Clove Evans]

I walk into the room and see robin. "What is it?" I ask urgently.

[Christina Robins]

"We need to get out of here, now..." She snatched a white sheet from off the bed, and raced out the back door-- hoping Clove would follow.

[Katniss Hawkings]

Katniss lies is in her bed. She is awake, but too sore to move. Her back is covered with scabs and scars from her brutal beating by the Peacekeepers. Her mind races, but she does not hear.

[Christina Robins]

Robin freezes when she is half-way out the door. She shoves Clove out with the sheets, "Go!" she whispered urgently. "Find Lionel and do whatever he tells you to do."

She races backwards to retrace her steps, backwards to Katniss. "Katniss...! Katniss...!"

[Katniss Hawkings]

She does not respond. With the painkillers Lionel gave her, it's hard to know what is real. She thinks for a moment.

"Are you real?"

[Clove Evans]

I take off running and I run straight into Lion. "Oh sorry. What is it?"

[Lionel Randall]

Normally he would apologize, but now there is no time. "Peacekeepers," he growls. "Next door. No time for you to run." He found what had been eluding him in his case. "Here," he says, shoving a pillcase into her hands. "Take two, and go lie down onthe table. Pull the sheet over your face. You'll break out in hives, and your face should be distorted. It might take a few mintues. And above all, play along."

[Clove Evans]

A grimace comes to my face. "Ew!" but I take the pills and swallow them quickly.

[Katniss Hawkings]

She rolls over, facing the ceiling. Her face is peaceful, almost serene.

[Christina Robins]

"Katniss....!" Her voice is pained. "You have to listen to me! I'm real, of course I'm real. I just dyed my hair and eyes a different color. I put this special plant power on my skin to make me look paler, and plant bundles in my shoes for height," she lists out this quickly, one eye on the door. "If the peacekeepers disturb you, my name is... is, um Elizabeth. I'm with Lionel to help treat you and Clove."

[Clove Evans]

Hives pop up on my arms and legs. They spread to my neck and shoulders. I became very itchy.

[Christina Robins]

Hoping that Katniss had heard her and understood, Robin race dout of the room and put a confindent stride on herself-- despite her thumping heart. She walked up to Lionel and put on her most over-confident voice, as he was talking to the Peacekeepers.

She shook her head 'wearily' and glanced up at him. "She isn't responding properly to the treatment. I need more--" she broke off as if noticing the peacekeepers for the first time. "Is there are problem?"

[Clove Evans]

I cough and turn quickly away to lay down quickly.

[Katniss Hawkings]

She understands.
