Hunger Games: Catching Fire Cornucopia Novels & Stories

The child that has to be my number one priority as I fight to rescue my mate. Adam and I move around the side of a burning hut, making sure we do not get close enough to be burned, but not far enough away to where we can be seen. Peaking my head around the side of the burning building, I find that the larger hut is being surrounded by eight ninja people, blocking our entrance into the one door.

If one caught fire, it wouldn’t take much for the others to catch. I see pack members running with water to try to contain the fire. I see groups of them being treated for burns- so many children. I shift back and throw on a pair of gym shorts that were discarded. I run to Fabian, one of my close friends and warriors. “Fab, who isn’t accounted for?” I ask quickly as I help him carry large buckets of water to the burning structures. “The packhouse is cleared. So is the gym. The school had a few children left inside. Alpha Matteo and Luna Rene ran inside to get them out,” he says as we dump the water on the wild flames.

_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> Half a mile out, the air shifted — wood and something chemical underneath, deliberate, the smell of a fire that had been started rather than happened. She slowed from a run to a careful, silent approach, reading the dark the way she'd been trained to, and by the time the farmhouse came into view she had already counted four silhouettes moving around it and adjusted her plan accordingly. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> The farmhouse was burning. Not fully — one corner of the roof, recently caught, the fire young enough to still be controllable if anyone wanted to control it. No one did. It was a signal fire, she realised. A marker. Here. Come here. Walk into this. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3">

I blasted light downward—BANG—and the child version dissolved into smoke. The battlefield shook violently. “Jump!” I yelled. Cullen and I dove off right before the memory exploded into pieces. We tumbled onto the next patch of the world. I fell to my knees. Cullen dropped beside me, gasping. He whispered, “Thank you.” “We’re not done,” I said. “We found the others.” We ran again. The storm got louder, crazier. Then— A scream. Fire. Ava. My chest dropped. A burning house memory slid downward like a sinking ship. Flames everywhere. Smoke. Heat.

I growl but sniff the scent the fire is emitting is different from what I was smelling. Anubis trudges into the flames followed by Ash, Percival, and Phoenix. I dodge the burning trees and slide around them as they fall to the ground. The farther in I go the trees are already down. I see a few cabins ablaze not too far from us and take off even faster. I make my way weaving between empty cabins and stopping in the clear center.

I fought my way through the remaining hunters, trying to make sure none of them got past me. But then, a loud explosion rang through the camp. The earth trembled beneath my feet, and I felt the force of it in my chest. The fire ignited in an instant, consuming everything in its path. Panic surged through me. "Elara!" I shouted again, desperate. I couldn’t see her anymore. I ran toward the smoke, coughing from the acrid scent of burning wood and flesh. I didn’t stop, pushing myself through the thick cloud of dust and debris, hoping against hope that she was still alive.

He tried to reach out and grab me but as soon as his hand jerked my arm, I let out a gasp of pain and he let go swiftly as if it had burned him and not me. Callie was walking by me but I could hardly register her presence as I made my way toward the back of the building. There were rows upon rows of servers lined in a back warehouse-type room. The room itself was huge and shelves were lined in rows all the way to the ceiling. This was a massive storage facility, keeping an immeasurable amount of electronic data safe.

Chapter Thirteen: Smoke and Memory The fire burned for hours. They watched from the ridge as the once-imposing NovaTherm compound was consumed by flame and fury. Eden sat on a rock, blood seeping from a shallow cut on her arm, her lungs still stinging from smoke. Roman stood nearby, his gaze fixed on the blackening sky. The night felt too quiet now—like the world was holding its breath. "That’s one node down,” Eden said, her voice hoarse. “How many more?”

I leave the place before someone comes in and see me, and sure enough, there is a fire starter in there and take all the gasoline I can carry to the bathroom, praying to the moon that nobody will notice that something is missing. When I get back, there’s a lot more people, and I can see the girls giggling in their seats as they are served meat bites while waiting for the event to start. “The event will start in ten minutes.” Is the next thing that I hear. The longest ten minutes of my life, and the girls are brought out through a secret door from the back, apparently. I hope Hazel has done her part in this, freeing herself and all. The crowd serves as a cover to me and I rush to the other si
