You guys are all so awesome, you've already given me sixteen reviews for two dinky little chapters! Thank you so much! This chapter is Rue's, and while it's not my absolute *favorite*, I think you guys will enjoy it. Coming up next on Saturday will be Cato's, and after that...who knows? If you have any requests, put them in your review! Anyway, thank you all for being great reviewers, and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games.
I like Katniss. She's very tough, but I don't think she's crazy like some of the Career tributes. And she didn't write me off just because of my size. She loves her sister very much, even if she tries to act like she's not attached to anyone. She's suspicious of everyone else, especially the boy from her district who said he had a crush on her. I don't blame her for it, even though I think he's sincere. From what I know of her, it sounds like people have let her down a lot, which makes it hard for her to trust people.
As it is, I don't even know if she even sees me as being a competitor. As her potential murderer, or her victim. In fact, I'm pretty sure that she thinks of me as being a sort of substitute for her little sister, Primrose. The one she loved enough to sign up to die for. I don't mind, though. I wish someone loved me that much. My little sisters and brothers do, but they're only babies, what can they do? And my parents…my parents stopped being anything more to me than adults I share a home with a long time ago. It's hard for them, raising a family in our district, but I can't bring myself to feel close to them any more.
I trust her, but I don't know why. I probably shouldn't, seeing as how she's so much stronger than I am, but I have a feeling that she wouldn't be able to kill me. This is the same feeling that tells me that she sees me as being like her little sister.
I think if I had a big sister, I'd like her to be like Katniss.
