Rue has decided to trust me wholeheartedly. I know this<br />

because as soon as the anthem finishes she snuggles up<br />

against me and falls asleep. Nor do I have any misgivings<br />

about her, as I take no particular precautions. If she’d wanted<br />

me dead, all she would have had to do was disappear from<br />

that tree without pointing out the tracker jacker nest. Needling<br />

me, at the very back of my mind, is the obvious. Both of us<br />

can’t win these Games. But since the odds are still against either<br />

of us surviving, I manage to ignore the thought.<br />

Besides, I’m distracted by my latest idea about the Careers<br />

and their supplies. Somehow Rue and I must find a way to destroy<br />

their food. I’m pretty sure feeding themselves will be a<br />

tremendous struggle. Traditionally, the Career tributes’ strategy<br />

is to get hold of all the food early on and work from there.<br />

The years when they have not protected it well — one year a<br />

pack of hideous reptiles destroyed it, another a Gamemakers’<br />

flood washed it away — those are usually the years that tributes<br />

from other districts have won. That the Careers have<br />

been better red growing up is actually to their disadvantage,<br />

because they don’t know how to be hungry. Not the way Rue<br />

and I do.<br />
