quickly the food disappears. All I have left are Rue’s roots and<br />

nuts, the boy’s dried fruit, and one strip of beef. Now you have<br />

to hunt, Katniss, I tell myself.<br />

I obediently consolidate the supplies I want into my pack.<br />

After I climb down the tree, I conceal the boy’s knives and<br />

spearheads in a pile of rocks so that no one else can use them.<br />

I’ve lost my bearings what with all the wandering around I did<br />

yesterday evening, but I try and head back in the general direction<br />

of the stream. I know I’m on course when I come<br />

across Rue’s third, unlit fire. Shortly thereafter, I discover a<br />

flock of grooslings perched in the trees and take out three before<br />

they know what hit them. I return to Rue’s signal fire and<br />

start it up, not caring about the excessive smoke. Where are<br />

you, Cato? I think as I roast the birds and Rue’s roots. I’m waiting<br />

right here.<br />

Who knows where the Careers are now? Either too far to<br />

reach me or too sure this is a trick or ... is it possible? Too<br />

scared of me? They know I have the bow and arrows, of<br />

course, Cato saw me take them from Glimmer’s body, but have<br />

they put two and two together yet? Figured out I blew up the<br />

supplies and killed their fellow Career? Possibly they think<br />

Thresh did this. Wouldn’t he be more likely to rev<strong>eng</strong>e Rue’s<br />

death than I would? Being from the same district? Not that he<br />

ever took any interest in her.<br />

And what about Foxface? Did she hang around to watch me<br />

blow up the supplies? No. When I caught her laughing in the<br />

ashes the next morning, it was as if someone had given her a<br />

lovely surprise.<br />
