A.N. Salutations. My question from last time still holds:
Should I bother with the questions? No matter the answer, here they are again:
•In chapter one, who do you think I was thinking of when Madge said she already likes someone?
•In chapter six, who is the tenth unnamed tribute of the 74th games?
•In chapters nine and ten, who are the members if the P.A.H.A.?
•In chapter twelve, Guitar Hero III is mentioned. What is the last battle on that game?
•In chapter fourteen, what do the ones and zeros mean at the bottom of the chapter?
•In my Facebook chapter, who are all the Facebookers?
•Who are two (I know for sure they are a sister to someone) sisters that are reaped besides Katniss or Prim?
Tiebreaker:
Who is my least favorite character?
Oh, my brother's birthday is the 27th. Send in some birthday wishes?

Peeta POV
I walked on stage and sat down with the host. I didn't know his name, but I knew he still believed in the Capitol's fashions, what with his green hair and orange lipstick.
I was here to be interviewed about the games.
Rather, I was here to talk about the games for an hour, starring now.
"So Peeta," the host began, "I bet you have something exciting to tell us! I won't hold you up, go on right ahead."
I ran threw in my head exactly what I was going to say.
"Can you guess," I began, "what the worst, most horrifying part of the games were?"
This seemed to have startled the host, but he quickly recovered.
"The Careers...?"
I shook my head.
"Not even close," I say, knowing I have them hooked. I continue.
"It's when you pick up a weapon. And know that you will no longer be you when you use it. But you do it anyways. And when you feel the pain of that persons life, their blood on your hands, something snaps. You can't breathe, you are drowning in their sorrow, their fear, their guilt.
Some of the emotions are yours, too. The guilt of just having killed a person. The anger of having no choice. The fact that you will have to kill again in order to survive."
The host is quiet for
a moment, digesting my words.
He finally speaks, saying, "But surely there is some pride too? Some part if you that knows you're strong? Stronger than your opponents, giving you hope to win?"
I respond quickly.
"There is. And that's the worst part. You realize that you have become a minster, no better than the people you despise, The Careers. And there is always that small part of you that embraces it, encourages it. That wants the monster to take over, to make you it's prey.
You may be strong. You may be a Career. But no one can go for too long without succumbing to the small part of you.
No one can stop the monster once it has begun."
A.N. How was the chapter? I'm really tired, so I hope it wasn't too bad. The questions are at the top, please read them if you're interested! Also, my brother's birthday is on the 27th. Could you possibly send him some birthday wishes? Well, R&R!
