DAY SIXTEEN: IGNORANCE THAT BROUGHT HER DOWN
Savour it. Each mouthful a minute. Not enough.
Neither my stomach nor cunning are satisfied. If I can't get those berries from under their noses, I won't survive.
How can Katniss – a seasoned hunter by the look of her – not have noticed me hiding so close? I wouldn't expect Peeta to – he's an idiot – but is it possible his presence is distracting her? Surely the 'star-crossed lovers' were acting?...
Perfect moment to take the food. I run in, grab the berries and swallow them whole – too late realising the danger.
In the end, hunger takes me out of the Hunger Games.
