Author's Note
I do not own the Hunger Games.
d2f
They wake early and set off. She's tired and stiff, but she can't back down and be seen as weak. She's three years early, but she can't let that bother her.
She needs to be strong and tough and bold.
And some day soon, they need to get rid of the girl from One.
Maybe when there's a few less tributes.

They kill a few of the squirrel mutt things.
They taste pretty good.

She knows.
She doesn't know where it comes from, she doesn't know how – maybe it's because she's about to die – but she knows.
Part of her wishes she didn't.
d3f
She's been hiding away in the mausoleum all day.
They find her anyway.

He doesn't know the girl in the sky, but he cries anyway.

He wonders if a normal Games would have been any better.
He doesn't think it would.
Although he might have had some better allies.
The boy won't stop crying, and the girl keeps scowling at him.
He tells himself his odds are higher than theirs, and wonders if he can kill them in their sleep.
