For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first. ↗

I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me. ↗

I'll tell them how I survive it. I'll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in things because I'm afraid it could be taken away. That's when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetative. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years. But there are much worse games to play. ↗

I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever. ↗

The problem is, I can’t tell what’s real anymore, and what’s made up. ↗

I raise my left arm and twist my neck down to rip off the pill on my sleeve. Instead my teeth sink into flesh. I yank my head back in confusion to find myself looking into Peeta’s eyes, only now they hold my gaze. Blood runs from the teeth marks on the hand he clamped over my nightlock. “Let me go!” I snarl at him, trying to wrest my arm from his grasp. “I can’t,” he says. ↗

All those months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly. And I hate him for it. ↗

The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol's plans. The symbol of the rebellion. ↗

I think....you still have no idea. The effect you can have. ↗

Only I keep wishing I could think of a way...to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games. ↗
