I stand there, feeling broken and small, thousands of eyes trained on me.
How could I leave Prim, who is the only person in the world I’m certain I love?
And it takes so much energy to stay angry with someone who cries so much.
District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety.
Are you, are you coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me. Strange things did happen here. No stranger would let it be if we met up At midnight in the hanging tree.
Oh, that I do know...Katniss will pick whoever she thinks she can't survive without.
Yes, they have to have a victor. Without a victor, the whole thing would blow up in the Gamemakers' faces. They'd have failed the Capitol. Might possibly even be executed, slowly and painfully, while the cameras broadcast it to every screen in the country.
But I don't know what to him about the aftermath of killing a person. About how they never leave you.
No more fear of hunger. A new kind of freedom. But what then ... what? What would my life be like on a daily basis? Most of it has been consumed with the acquisition of food. Take that away and I'm not really sure who I am, what my identity is. The idea scares me some.
