The Tributes
"This isn't right", said Peeta. "If we do this, we'll be no better than the Capitol. There have to be better ways than this."
"We voted, Peeta. It's already happening. The Reapings took place this morning. Protest all you like, but we're doing it. We're sending the children of the Capitol to the Hunger Games", Haymitch replied.
Peeta stood up and clenched his fists. "I don't want any part in this", he exclaimed. "I hope your consciences catch up to you. You don't know what you're doing. You know you're going to regret this."
"This isn't going to be like a pageant. There will be no Tribute Parade. No Interviews. No betting or celebrations. It will be sombre and it will be over before you know it. These Games will end all of our oppression."
"How many people do we have to still murder to declare peace! We already won. Let's leave it at that. Katniss, can you condemn a little girl to her death just like Prim?"
"Yes, Peeta. I can. I will", said Katniss. "The Capitol needs to feel our pain. Our suffering."
"I only hope that you can live with your decision, Katniss. Because once they're dead, there's no going back." Peeta stormed out and a silence fell over the council.
Plutarch was the first to break the silence. "I have the names and brief descriptions of our Capitol tributes here. Two from each of the twelve Capitol Precincts." He slid the sheet paper over the table to Katniss. The words were empty and meaningless. The Capitol tributes had been reduced to ink on a page. Katniss read on.
