14. The Battle on the Roof

As I cleaned the roof, I began singing my part and the end of the traditional District 11 funeral song. "It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part so much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart and now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend. Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, because I knew you, because I knew you, I have been changed for good." As I sang, tears streamed down my face—the hardest time it was to sing that song was at my family's eight funerals and especially Rue's funeral because of how close I'd been to my younger sister. My mockingjay quickly sang my song back to me. Then suddenly it sounded the alarm and I whirled, coming face to face with Cato's brother.

I stumbled backwards. "You're gonna pay, District 11!" he threatened.

I bit my lip and then punched him. "They called me Deadly Nightlock for a reason," I growled.

He stabbed my upper left arm and I screamed, "Katniss! Help!"

An arrow flew by me and hit Cato's brother, killing him instantly. Katniss joined me, yelling, "Are there more? Are there more?"

"No! No! No! No! No!" I shouted. She nodded and helped me quickly bandage my injured arm and then turned to leave. Then she paused and we both made the gesture of respect to each other. Then she left, and I finished cleaning the roof, singing a second song. "Little brother, I remember when you first came home. Then came another little brother of our own. Even when you break my toys, you will always be my little brothers 'cause you're younger, we're related, and you're boys. Even when you're making too much noise, you will always be my little brothers 'cause you're younger, we're related, and you're boys. Little brothers. Little brothers. Little brothers." After I finished cleaning the roof, I whistled off Rue's melody and swung myself back into the attic.
