Though they were able to stop at the Cornucopia and luckily he found some new supplies. A bit of fishing supplies and medium sized pack with more stuff in it. All this stuff was starting to make his arms sore but it was essential for Morrigan and his safety to have all of it. He managed to down one of his small water bottles while heading over, and along with eating the last of his meat and two pieces of beef jerky he was refreshed and ready for anything!
They reached the same river at which they started and there Tao began to fish. He had the net and now some bait and a hook to catch some more. By the time he was done he managed to capture four fish in the net and two from the bait! You could tell from the smile on Tao's face that he was excited! Never in the world could he imagine he would ever go fishing. He was having so much fun he forgot that they had to keep moving to stay away from other Tributes. So he gathered up his things, packed up the fish, and they were on their way.
By the time they reached the Rainforest it was past noon and the sun was still up high in the sky. This was probably one of the hottest days so far. Before he didn't notice because they were higher up in the Mountains and hidden in a cool cave all this time. Maybe that's why the other Tributes stayed up there? Tao believe it was a good idea. Though not all of the Tributes were there. Some were somewhere else...but where? He tried to rack his brain as they got deeper and deeper into the forest floor, he was trying to think of all of the places in the Arena. Just then he remembered, the sound he heard at the launching platforms. The Waterfall, could that be it? Tao wasn't sure but it was a good thing to remember.
Once they found a good place to stop for a rest they sat and relaxed. Tao felt terrible he didn't speak much during this whole trip. Usually when he was set on doing something he did it to the best of his ability without distractions. Though Morrigan wasn't a distraction, she was his partner. He needed her to trust him, and so he needed to start making a better effort to speak. "Is this an alright place to set up camp?" He asked curiously and shyly. "I'm not to sure. I'm a bit brain dead at the moment." He said feeling rather stupid but it was very true, his head has really been out of it. All he can ever really think about is food, the other Tributes, and him killing those other boys. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

He couldn't bare it! To keep cool he often visited the river near the Cornucopia to cool off. There he spent most of his time. He didn't know what was wrong with Morrigan but decided it was for the best if he left her be for a while.
During his time he happened to down about half of his food! All four of his apples, two of his dried fruit, and two pieces of beef jerky was devoured over that time. He somehow managed to save all of his fish he caught the day they came to the rainforest but he was saving those in case of an emergency. Also he emptied one of his small water bottles too. Damn heat, it was killing him! Later he head back to their camp. He hoped he could talk to Morrigan, there weren't many of them left. Tao was growing worried that the Gamemakers might do something drastic! ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

 ┏━━━━━━━━━┓ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Morrigan Lene Ravine x❤xxDistrict Five ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ I drank greedily from the petal-shoot plants that I had found near our small camp, and felt satisfied when I had felt myself becoming replenished. I opened my backpack and finished the last of the meat that Tao had given me, but I was still starving. I felt like my stomach was splitting open down the middle and pride was the only thing keeping me from asking Tao for his food. That was no matter, I had found some nice looking worms to use for fishing, and that is what I would do.

 ┏━━━━━━━━━┓ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Morrigan Lene Ravine x❤xxDistrict Five ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ I reach the camp just as Tao gets back and I greet him with a smile, holding up my fish triumphantly. "I never thought I'd catch a fish...but look at this one. It's huge." I say, pointing to my first catch, which was significantly larger than the other two fish that I was holding. "Wow...it looks like we're going to be eating fish for awhile." I said, feeling more cheerful than I had been this entire time in the arena. It was a rare moment for me, but I was determined to be happy with my small victory for the time being.
I didn't want to risk a fire, so I decided to eat the fish raw, and although it disturbed me, I was too hungry to care. I'd rather die from eating poisonous fish than be slain because of a fire. I took out the hunting knife I had stowed away in my boot and began cutting the scales from the fish, making sure that I wouldn't be eating any of it's hard surfaces. After the three fish had been cut and cleaned, I took my first bite, chewed it, swallowed it, and didn't die.
After I had eaten all three fish, I felt much better, and sadly a little hungry, but I could deal with it. My stomach had shrunk considerably during the last few days, and I was afraid to go looking for more food and eating it in fear of throwing it all back up. Right now, I should take it easy with the food. I looked over to Tao and smiled again. "How about we get moving again, hm?"

 ┏━━━━━━━━━┓ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Morrigan Lene Ravine x❤xxDistrict Five ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ We had decided to stay at our camp for one more night, and although no tributes had died, I felt like we were alone out here. All was quiet in the arena for now. I figured the game-makers must be giving us a break from all the fighting that occurred these last few days. However, since the numbers were so low, I think that me and Tao should make a move, and attack another district. It would gain support for us, and I was sure that we'd be left alone from a gamemaker attack if we managed to take out another tribute. I hated thinking like this, but I was sick and tired of this arena, and I wanted to return home with Tao. I just wanted it to be over.
Tao was taking a short nap at the moment, from having to stay up as watch last night, so I wandered around the area for a bit, trying to spot anything that would be of help. A flash of blue caught my line of sight and after examining the source of the color, I realized that it was a small backpack. Approaching cautiously, I picked it up, jumping slightly when I heard something clank against one of the zippers. I then realized that it was a metal pot for cooking. It was small, but it would serve whatever purpose that I wanted in terms of cooking.
After searching through its contents, I managed to find two carrots, and two energy bars as well as an empty water bottle and a blanket. In one of the other pockets I found two bandages, which could come in handy later on. I have yet to use one of my own, and I guess I was lucky for that. Another tribute had probably dropped their backpack while running from someone or something and had never bothered to go back for it. They must have been scared. That thought made me nervous, but a familiar plant caught my eye. Mint. I picked a couple leaves from the plant and stuck them in my mouth, quickly becoming horrified that they did not taste like mint and dissolved in my mouth. I tried spitting out what had gone into my mouth but I knew that I had swallowed some, for I instantly felt sickly.
I rushed back to the cave, realizing that I had eaten poisonpetal by mistake. I tossed my new findings to the ground, most likely waking poor Tao up from his nap. I dug through my larger pack on the ground and found what I was looking for, barely managing to keep down last night's dinner. I found what I was looking for, and pulled the antidote out of my backpack, quickly injecting the needle into my arm, and pushing the liquid into my veins. Relief flooded through me when I felt the heavy effects of the antidote working it's magic. Thankfully the Capitol made such advanced medicines that it kept people from dying from plants like the one I had just ingested.

Some how he also found a nice cool stream to fill his canteens and found some rice crackers too! He gladly filled them up and took the crackers. It was much needed. After he headed back to their camp and had a sip of water and finished off his beef jerky. It was just enough to keep Tao satisfied.
Afterwards he ended up drifting off into a deep sleep for a good while. His dreams were pleasant. He was back at good old District 5, with his family and friends. They were having dinner when there was a knock at the door. Tao went to the door to see who it was, and there stood all four of the Tributes he had killed. Base from District 6, LaHarl from 10, Haimon from 7, and Nathan from 4 all covered in blood and pale as ghosts. They immediately stabbed Tao in the stomach and went pushing past him with knives and other weapons. Tao was on the floor bleeding as he looked to the boys and saw them going after his family. Stabbing them, slitting their throats, and force feeding them poisonous berries. Tao yelled at them in horror! Just then a loud crash sounded!
It woke Tao from his nightmare and rubbed his eyes fiercely to get the tears out of his eyes. There he saw Morrigan going through her pack like mad and then inject some antidote into her arm. He sat up and crawled over to her and put his hand on her shoulder feeling concerned. "Hey, you alright? I think your right, it might be time to move on now. This place might be to dangerous. How about we head north? We haven't seen what's there." ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

 ┏━━━━━━━━━┓ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Morrigan Lene Ravine x❤xxDistrict Five ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ I jumped at Tao's approach and let out a shaky laugh, not realizing how spooked I was about possibly being poisoned to death earlier. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was just stupid, and ate something bad. I should be alright now." I said to my teammate with a nervous smile, and nodded at what he had suggested. This place was giving me the creeps, and the sooner I left it, the better.
I remained sitting still for a few moments more, allowing myself to feel comforted by Tao's hand on my shoulder, and waiting until the last of my dizziness went away. I couldn't believe that I had done something so stupid as to eat a bad plant. I shouldn't have tested my luck after finding those items that would definitely come in handy, but I had been desperate for something else to bring back. After all, how long were two carrots and two energy bars going to last? Not very long because two of the carrots and one of the bars had already been eaten.
"I think the north is as good of a place as any, I just want to get out of here. I don't like it." I said to him, feeling a little better than I had earlier. I quickly gathered my supplies and packed it into the one large backpack that I carried around, and pulled it onto my backpack, waiting for Tao to get ready as well. "You ready?" I asked with a smile, and once he gave me confirmation, we began our trek towards the unknown.

He understood it completely. It was rather eerie being surrounded by nothing but trees. At least in the mountains they had a cave that could protect them from some things but out here they were out in the open. Too unsafe if you'd ask him. He gathered his things together and onward with Morrigan.
Along the way he gathered some berries and found some bee sting cream as well. Also he had a bit of a snack to hold him over. Two fish, a rice cracker and two sips of water kept him refreshed as they kept north. By the time they reached the edge of the forest Tao was feeling a sudden sense of danger. The sound of the wild animals was like a siren to his ears. Like a warning that something might come. Quickly before he began to get close to the river he swallowed two painkillers to ease the sicking feeling, it helped but he still couldn't shake the feeling they were being watched.

Dottie finally collapsed at the edge of the rain forest, the sounds of animals muffled by the ringing in her ears. She didn't wake up for a good while, pieces of leaves sticking to her side from the blood that had dried. "Ugh..." She muttered, barely sitting up, dizzily, she dug through her stuff, glad that she'd got the medical kit she'd recently acquired. She tried to feel bitter towards the tributes who had attacked her, but she couldn't. They'd only done what they had to. She couldn't just wait for everyone to kill each other. It would've been a stupid plan from the beginning. She sheepishly applied the bandaging to herself, using a lot of her medicines. She had to get back to full health. After applying the bandaging, she ate a few things and took a few sips of her canteen, doing her best not to be greedy with her food supply. She'd forage when she felt better. She surprisingly sort of liked the rain forest, it seemed to have it's own natural flow, violent, but natural. She leaned her head against a tree and listened to the sound of birds, monkeys and just anything else in that matter.

Е††ɨɇ Ͼhᾷrlêmågñê HɵñêɣӄʃѲµɗ "Inside the lines, I too, can see the outside, I have no need to touch it." District Eight Sew me into the background, then I will thrive.  Dottie hadn't been doing much other than foraging and that gamemaker attack. She remember how fast she ran, almost as fast as when the tributes attacked her. Today, she had been lounging under a tree, taking a few sips of water and eating some of the monkey she'd killed. Although Dottie wasn't one for game, the meat was okay, and she ate anyway, she sort of had to preserve her other supplies. She was pretty sure she had enough water left for a few days, so she wasn't going to worry about that very much. So She simply sat there peacefully until she looked North, and her eyes just about popped out of her skull. Okay, this, was definately the fastest she'd run in awhile, grabbing her stuff she jolted towards the safest place from water. The mountains. It'd been the first place she'd went in the Arena, and taking a guess, it'd be the last place too. [Exit to Mountains]
