Katniss POV

"Well we were already her aren't we" We gave a confused look to Annie as she continues

'Look at those ashes; we camped here 2 hours ago"

"Fine but we are struck in this forest for nearly half the day" grumbles Clove and readily comes to argue with me.

"We could have done a lot better if we would have struck with the idea of going to a mall nearby"

"Come on Clove. It is not necessary and it is utter waste to think of malls while we are lost." I say tiredly.

"Seriously Kat, how could you think of such things like as if you were a girl Tarzan? Don't you realize that you had got us all struck up in a forest and not knowing a way out of here?"

"Guys I am sorry. We must have planned some other good place for our post-graduation instead of here" Madge says in an apologetic tone and looks sadly at us.

"You need not apologize Madge. It was she who suggested this damn idea about a stupid hiking in this godsaken forest" Clove said pointing at me and her face filled with rage, hatred yet looking lost.

"Guys wait a sec. Hold on" Annie said suddenly.

"What is it Ann. You missed out your Tale of Two Cities book out there uh." Clove asked.

"No no no no. It was that, that I heard cars"

"Maybe this forest drives everyone crazy"

"No seriously, I heard it"

"Wait guys I heard it too" Madge said.

Then we hear it . . . car. A car that could get us out of this forest. The forest which is giving us hope. I sighed in relief and take a deep breath because the girls wouldn't hesitate to kill me if we don't find way to the Seam Hotel before the sunsets.

'Come on guys, what are we waiting for" I half say and half shout at them. Not wasting a single second, they gather up everything, sling their backpacks over their shoulder and we start to run. Being the one who spends most time in the forest, I pierce through the trees and run ahead the rest of us.

Thick trees began to clear as small thickets come to our vision and then bushes and finally, the whole place clears and after a long time, my foot encounters the road.
