She was very dizzy and her ear hurt and than she realized it was bleeding so she covered it with her hood so she doesn’t leave any blood trails. She starts to think bout what she is going to do if she cant hear anymore because she knows how much she needs her eyes and ears to hunt. Since she cant hear she chooses to hide in a bush and covers herself up. Right when she hides she sees the careers and Cato is pissed. She is happy but than she sees him snap the neck of the boy from district 3 because he was supposed to be watching the supplies. The rest of the day she stays there and sleeps. In the morning she sees Foxface looking through the rummage of the explosion. She thinks about asking her to join her alliance but automatically changes her mind.
