Chapter 32. Uriah's POV.
Everything hurts. My hands, feet, head, back. Everything.
As I open my eyes all I can see at first is black spots, but the more I blink, the more it clears.
Once the black spots are gone I look around and sit up. I see Katniss is struggling to sit up.
So is Four. Then we hear a hiss and look to see this dark grey fog coming out of the little metal ball.
Katniss gasps in sharp and starts yanking on the wires tried around her legs.
I don't see why she's panicking. It's just fog. As it spreads it turns into a small mist, settling around us.
I don't think nothing of it until it starts to sting. Badly. That's when I try to get free. Katniss frees herself and starts to help Four, who's closer to the fog and was closer when is shocked us.. " Uriah hurry, if we don't move now this fog will kill us. I may have been in one Hunger Games, but that doesn't mean I don't know what this stuff is." Says Katniss.
I nod and start yanking at the rope, ignoring the pain and aching in my body. It's no different then what you feel in Dauntless training.
However the fog is really starting to sting. Four is free and getting to his feet. Katniss runs up and starts to help me get free. Once I'm free I get up.
The fog is settling and getting thicker, and as it does blisters start to form on our exposed skin.
The cave isn't far away. We took off running. Once we got back to the cave we ran in. They all look confused about the fog that started to fill the cave. " Guys get out of this cave now hurry." Says Katniss.
The others are on their feet and we take off out of the cave. We run and run. The fog is really starting to hurt.
The more I'm in the fog, the more I feel weak. I have to keep running though.
Katniss, Four and I are the ones who seem to be struggling more through this fog.
We come across two halls. " Which way?" Says Eric.
" Doesn't matter. We need to keep moving." Says Katniss.
We all nod and follow her deep into the hall to the right.
Soon again we come to yet another hall where it splits off into three halls.
The fog is now so thick we can barely tell where anyone is. And the fog is stinging and hurting so badly now.
" Which way now!" Yelled Eric.
" Right. We need to keep moving. Their trying to split us up. We need to stick together." Yelled Katniss.
Suddenly before we could go right a huge fire ball slammed into the wall scattering us. " RUN!!" Yelled Katniss.
Fireballs kept hitting everywhere. Everyone went down different hallways. Looks like they got what they want with separating us.
I followed three others. Not sure who but I had to keep moving.
Soon just when I was close to falling and giving up the fog cleared and we were now in a fog free place.
We stop running and I finally can't stand anymore. I fall to the ground and just focus on breathing and not the pain in my body.
The fog isn't coming any closer. I guess it was set to only come so far. Thankfully not this far.
Apparently I was following Newt, Gale and Cato.
They were covered with blisters as well, but not as bad as me.
They flipped me over. " We need to help him somehow." Says Newt.
Newt looked around. " I know this place. Surprisingly. Ok so there is a river over their. Let's go over there and see if water helps with the stinging."he says.
They hoist me up and walk, carrying my limp body.
Soon we make it there and Newt sticks his hand in the water first.
He cry's out suddenly, then smiles. " Apparently the water helps, but it hurts like crazy at first." Says Newt.
" Uriah can't get in on his own so we have to move him. " says Gale.
" Uriah you can hear me right?" Says Newt.
" Yup." I say. I can talk, but I can't move cause the pain is to much and I feel so weak and like my body is filled with poison.
" We're going to put you in the water all at once. It hurts like mad at first and then it feels so much better. Do you think you can handle that?" Says Newt.
I scoff. " Do I think I can handle it. Dude I'm a Dauntless. Bring it on. I ain't no pansycake." I say.
I hear someone laugh. Then they grab my arms and legs and start moving.
I soon feel the water flood around my body, then horrible pain that causes me to whimper. I'm a Dauntless though so I keep from screaming.
Soon though the pain fades and it feels so much better.
I open my eyes and look around once I have energy.
The others are standing by me. I sit up. Some of them haven't been fully into the water so a idea comes to mind.
I pounce and push Cato into Gale and Newt. They fall into the water and come up coughing and crying out in pain.
I smile as I gather water and wash my face. Slightly laughing to myself.
" Uriah, why'd you do that?" Says Cato.
" For fun, what else?" I say. I then hear them sigh.
Soon were all siting one dry ground. There's still spots on us to show we had the blisters.
" Ok after a bit longer of resting we're going to find the others and regroup." Says Gale.
We nod in agreement, and like he said, when we were done resting we got is and finally went in search for the other while keeping a look out for fog, fireballs or cranks.
Cause you never know when or where they could come from.
After all that's happened with the fog and fireballs and the run in with the cranks before I just really hope the others are ok.
Especially Katniss and Four. Looks like I'll find out when I see them next.
