Thank goodness, I had the foresight to belt myself in. I’ve<br />

rolled sideways off the fork and I’m facing the ground, held in<br />

place by the belt, one hand, and my feet straddling the pack<br />

inside my sleeping bag, braced against the trunk. There must<br />

have been some rustling when I tipped sideways, but the Careers<br />

have been too caught up in their own argument to catch<br />

it.<br />

“Go on, then, Lover Boy,” says the boy from District 2. “See<br />

for yourself.”<br />

I just get a glimpse of Peeta, lit by a torch, heading back to<br />

the girl by the fire. His face is swollen with bruises, there’s a<br />

bloody bandage on one arm, and from the sound of his gait<br />

he’s limping somewhat. I remember him shaking him his head,<br />

telling me not to go into the fight for the supplies, when all<br />

along, all along he’d planned to throw himself into the thick of<br />

things. Just the opposite of what Haymitch had mid him to do.<br />

Okay, I can stomach that. Seeing all those supplies was<br />

tempting. But this . . . this other thing. This teaming up with<br />

the Career wolf pack to hunt down the rest of us. No one from<br />

District 12 would think of doing such a thing! Career tributes<br />

are overly vicious, arrogant, better fed, but only because<br />

they’re the Capitol’s lapdogs.<br />
