Tôi bắn giết khi tôi nhắm mục tiêu Enobaria và Gloss và Brutus. Peeta ít nhất đã cố gắng đàm phán đầu tiên. Thấy nếu một số liên minh rộng lớn hơn là có thể. Tuy nhiên, để kết thúc nào? Finnick của quyền. Tôi đúng. | Finnick knows then what Haymitch and I know. About Peeta. Being truly deep-down better than the rest of us. Finnick took out that tribute from 5 without blinking an eye. And how long did I take to turn deadly I shot to kill when I targeted Enobaria and Gloss and Brutus. Peeta would at least have attempted negotiations first. Seen if some wider alliance was possible. But to what end Finnick s right. I m right. The people in this arena weren t crowned for their compassion. I hold his gaze weighing his speed against my own. The time it will take to send an arrow through his brain versus the time his trident will reach my body. I can see him waiting for me to make the first move. Calculating if he should block first or go directly for an attack. I can feel we ve both about worked it out when Peeta steps deliberately between us. So how many are dead he asks. Move you idiot I think. But he remains planted firmly between us. Hard to say I answer. At least six I think. And they re still fighting. Let s keep moving. We need water he says. So far there s been no sign of a freshwater stream or pond and the saltwater s undrinkable. Again I think of the last Games where I nearly died of dehydration. Better find some soon says Finnick. We need to be undercover when the others come hunting us tonight. We. Us. Hunting. All right maybe killing Finnick would be a little premature. He s been helpful so far. He does have Haymitch s stamp of approval. And who knows what the night will hold If worse comes to worst I can always kill him in his sleep. So I let the moment pass. And so does Finnick. The absence of water intensifies my thirst. I keep a sharp eye out as we continue our trek upward but with no luck. After about another mile I can see an end to the tree line and assume we re reaching the crest of the hill. Maybe we ll have better luck on the other side. Find a spring or something. But there is no other side. I know this before anyone else even though I am farthest from the top.
