idiculous reaction to finding the supplies blown up. The others<br />

were upset, of course, but he was completely unhinged. I<br />

wonder now if Cato might not be entirely sane.<br />

The sky lights up with the seal, and I watch Foxface shine in<br />

the sky and then disappear from the world forever. He hasn’t<br />

said it, but I don’t think Peeta felt good about killing her, even<br />

if it was essential. I can’t pretend I’ll miss her, but I have to<br />

admire her. My guess is if they had given us some sort of test,<br />

she would have been the smartest of all the tributes. If, in fact,<br />

we had been setting a trap for her, I bet she’d have sensed it<br />

and avoided the berries. It was Peeta’s own ignorance that<br />

brought her down. I’ve spent so much time making sure I<br />

don’t underestimate my opponents that I’ve forgotten it’s just<br />

as dangerous to overestimate them as well.<br />

That brings me back to Cato. But while I think I had a sense<br />

of Foxface, who she was and how she operated, he’s a little<br />

more slippery. Powerful, well trained, but smart? I don’t<br />

know. Not like she was. And utterly lacking in the control Foxface<br />

demonstrated. I believe Cato could easily lose his judgment<br />

in a fit of temper. Not that I can feel superior on that<br />

point. I think of the moment I sent the arrow flying into the<br />

apple in the pig’s mouth when I was so enraged. Maybe I do<br />

understand Cato better than I think.<br />

Despite the fatigue in my body, my mind’s alert, so I let Peeta<br />

sleep long past our usual switch. In fact, a soft gray day has<br />

begun when I shake his shoulder. He looks out, almost in<br />

alarm. “I slept the whole night. That’s not fair, Katniss, you<br />

should have woken me.”<br />
