I wake as the sun is starting to set. Bonnie and Summer are dead asleep beside me. I look around but don't see daisy. I jump to my feet and start running in the direction of the shore.

"Daisy! Daisy!" I shout, starting to panic.

I burst out onto the sand and start circling the island.

"Daisy!"

Suddenly I see her, sitting in a tree, staring out at the bank of the lake. She spots me, or hears me shouting.

"Shoosh!" She hisses. "She'll hear you!" She gestures to the shore and I look over to see Juliet, kicking rocks into the water. All my anger at Daisy for going without a word is replaced with fear.

"She'll see us if we stay here, lets go back to camp. If she comes over, we'll win, we have her outnumbered."

She follows me reluctantly. We go back to the camp and Daisy decides to go for a dip in the pond. She slips her feet in and sighs. I decide to do the same and let the cool water massage my feet. The sky turns pink and then purple, before settling on a deep navy blue. Stars start to rise and the moon starts to show over the trees.

Bonnie soon wakes but summer sleeps silently. Soon the national anthem is playing, so I quickly wake her up and we look up at the familiar Capitol seal.

The faces of the dead come up. First is Georgiana, then it is Crunch.

Then Ditties face shows. The next face makes my throat clog up. The picture moves on from Zara's sad eyes, morphing into Kay's familiar smile. Summer bursts into tears. The picture fades.

We sit in silence. Suddenly another picture apears in the sky. Max's familiar face shows up and he clears his throat.

"Hello remaining tributes. There are only 10 of you left, so I decided to give you a twist. 3 lucky tributes will get a special gift, all the same type of item but each different colors and powers. As soon as this message is over, I will send the items down to you. They will carry your name and district on them and I suggest you keep them. In the wrong hands, they can be dangerous. That's all!"

His face fades and something splashes into the pool. Bonnie stands up and wades into water. She picks the object up, walks out and holds it up to us. It is a necklace, shaped as a flower with a crystal in the center. It spins on its silver chain, showing us an ingravement on the back. It reads, Primrose Everdeen, District 12.

"I guess it's for me." I say, taking it from her.

"You guess? It's shaped as a primrose!" Daisy exclaims. "Of course it's for you!"

I slip it around my neck and its metal feels cold against my skin. Bonnie gasps.

"It changed!" She cries.

"What?" I say, looking down at the necklace. In the center, where there had been a crystal, now sits a sapphire. I slip it off and it changes back to a crystal. I put it back on and as soon as it hits my skin, it changes to a sapphire.

"Cool." Summer says. She still has tears running down her cheeks and her voice cracks as she talks. She sobs into her hands.

"Shh. It's Ok. Come on, lets eat." Bonnie says, wiping at her tears. Summer nods so we sit and daisy hands us all some fruit. We eat in silence and by the end of the meal, my stomach is still growling. Daisy and I don't tell the others about Juliet, because we both know that they didn't need anything else on their mind. My necklace stays cold on my chest and doesn't warm up from my body heat.

After dinner, I suggest we all get some sleep so we settle down and I offer to take first watch. After some debate, they all give in and lie down. I sit holding my dagger until I am sure Bonnie and Summer are asleep and then I wake Daisy.

"I'm going to go look at Juliet. Stay here and don't move, if there is a cannon boom, don't come for me. Stay hidden and she won't find you." I tell her. She opens her mouth to debate but stops herself. "Stay safe." She says instead. I nod and take my dagger, running off into the trees. I slip down to the shoreline and look out at the opposite side. I see Juliet's fire, and her fiddling with something next to it. I can't see much from my point of view, though. I need to get closer.

I slip into the water and my necklace is cold on my chest. It feels unfamiliar and I have a large urge to throw it into the depths of the lake, but fight it. Max said these necklaces had powers, and I don't think the changing color was it.

I glide underwater as far as I can go, then go up for a breath. I do this a few times and then I am at the shore. I slip out and envelop myself in the trees.

I quietly creep around to where she is sitting next to the dying fire. She is fiddling with a necklace of her own. It is a star, with a crystal in the center. When she touches it, the crystal turns green, into an emerald. She stops playing with it and clips it around her neck. She looks around and her eyes lock with mine. Suddenly they fill with... Fear.

I realize she is not looking at me, but someone behind me. An arrow shoots past me aimed at her chest. Without knowing what I'm doing, my necklace glows and some water flies out of the lake and hits the arrow, knocking it off course. The boy cries out and I hear bushes cracking as he runs away.

Juliet watches him go, then turns to me, blushing slightly. Her eyes have a strange look about them. Fear. I have a sudden urge to trust her, but clear my head. This was Juliet I was looking at. Harriet and Zara killing CAREER Juliet.

"Thank you." She says awquardly and I try not to let my eyes widen. "I owe you one, I guess."

I shake my head and frown. "No."

"No?"

"You don't owe me one. You owe me three."

"What?"

"You kill my best friend, you owe me one, you kill another of my friends, you owe me two, I save your life, you owe me three."

"About that..." She starts but I disappear into the bushes before she can say anything more.

I creep around far enough to she won't see me, then I quickly slip into the water again. It is silent an the eerie quietness disturbs me.

When I reach the island, I quickly look over at Juliet. She has decided to move, probably because of the boy.

I trek back to the camp to find daisy in the same position as she was last time.

"Did she see you? Are you hurt?" She fumbles on her words.

"No, I'm fine, and yes, she did see me."

"What happened?"

"I saved her life is what happened. And I figured out the necklaces power."

I look over at the pond and focus my energy on the necklace. It glows and I think of the water forming a flower and growing out. It ripples a little and then a tiny bud and a stem float up and out of the water. The stem grows taller and then the bud blooms into a beautiful, clear, rose.

"Woah." Daisy says, gaping at the flower. She reaches up and touches it, pulling her fingers back wet. "That's beautiful."

I start playing around with it. I change the flower into a vine, then I think about it growing and changing into a tree. It grows water branches and then leaves and some fruit. Daisy picks an apple that breaks when she takes it off the tree, and splashes all over her. She giggles and picks another. I look over at her and a warm feeling grows inside me. She could not die.

Suddenly Daisy gasps and calls me over. I stand up, still with my energy on the tree. She pushes away a few leaves to reveal, not a piece of fruit, but a tiny water locket, with a heart engraved on it. She looks up at me.

"Is it for me?" She asks.

"Yes. It's just for you." I carefully slip it off the tree and it surprisingly doesn't break. I put it over daisy's curly hair and settle in around her neck. She looks down at it and so do I. It looks so perfect on her. In the very center of the clear water, is a tiny spot of pink, glowing faintly.

"What's that?" She asks.

"I think I know."

"What is it?"

"A little piece of my thoughts for you. As long as I love you, that will glow. So don't worry about it fading."

She looks up at me with tears in her eyes and I realize some are running down my own face. She wraps her arm around me. "I love you too."
