"And Peeta ... Peeta will suffer, too, if this goes wrong. But what was it Haymitch said when I asked if he had told Peeta the situation? That he had to pretend to be desperately in love?"

"It goes on and on and on and eventually completely consumes my mind, blocking out memories and hopes of tomorrow, erasing everything but the present, which I begin to believe will never change. There will never be anything but cold and fear and the agonized sounds of the boy dying in the horn."

"We stand there a while, locked in an embrace, feeling each other, the sunlight, the rustle of the leaves at our feet. Then without a word, we break apart and head for the lake."

"I give a nod. We call them nightlock.'

'Even the name sounds deadly,' he says. 'I’m sorry, Katniss. I really thought they were the same ones you’d gathered.'

'Don’t apologize. It just means we’re one step closer to home, right?' I ask."

"I’d walk in the water to cover our tracks completely, but I’m not sure Peeta’s leg could take the current. Although the drugs have erased the infection, he’s still pretty weak."

"If, in fact, Peeta did save me, I’m in his debt again. And this can’t be paid back."

# data[].attributes.body
"I enter a nightmare from which I wake repeatedly only to find a greater terror awaiting me. All the things I dread most, all the things I dread for others manifest in such vivid detail I can’t help but believe they’re real."

“'It’s been a bit warm for my taste,' I say. I can almost hear the laughter from the Capitol. 'The air’s better up here. Why don’t you come on up?'”

"Five yards from where I fell, I crawl through a tangle of plants into a pond. Floating on the top, yellow flowers in bloom, are my beautiful lilies."

"Certainly Peeta has thrown a wrench into our star-crossed lover dynamic. Or has he? Maybe, since he hasn’t spoken much about me, we can still get some mileage out of it."

"'Go on, then, Lover Boy,' says the boy from District 2. 'See for yourself.'"

"I tell myself again that if I get killed, his winning will benefit my mother and Prim the most."

"All the general fear I’ve been feeling condenses into at immediate fear of this girl, this predator who might kill me in seconds."

"For maybe fifteen seconds, I’m in darkness and then I can feel the metal plate pushing me out of the cylinder, into the open air. For a moment, my eyes are dazzled by the bright sunlight and I’m conscious only of a strong wind with the hopeful smell of pine trees.

# data[].attributes.body
"Nervousness seeps into terror as I anticipate what is to come. I could be dead, flat-out dead, in an hour. Not even."

“So, you’re supposed to give us advice,” I say to Haymitch.

“Here’s some advice. Stay alive,” says Haymitch, and then bursts out laughing."

"But I’ve had a lot of practice at wiping my face clean of emotions and I do this now. I catch a glimpse of myself on the television screen on the wall that’s airing my arrival live and feel gratified that I appear almost bored."

# data[].attributes.body
"'You can’t clock out and leave Prim on her own. There’s no me now to keep you both alive. It doesn’t matter what happens. Whatever you see on the screen. You have to promise me you’ll fight through it!'”

"From this place, we are invisible but have a clear view of the valley, which is teeming with summer life, greens to gather, roots to dig, fish iridescent in the sunlight. The day is glorious, with a blue sky and soft breeze."

# data[].attributes.body
"Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch — this is the Capitol’s way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy."

# data[].attributes.body
"I hear Peeta’s voice in my head. She has no idea. The effect she can have. Obviously meant to demean me. Right? but a tiny part of me wonders if this was a compliment. That he meant I was appealing in some way."

# data[].attributes.body
"The ovens were in the back, and a golden glow spilled out the open kitchen door. I stood mesmerized by the heat and the luscious scent until the rain interfered, running its icy fingers down my back, forcing me back to life."

# data[].attributes.body
"The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop, and I’m feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it’s not me, that it’s not me, that it’s not me."

"'Where is Haymitch, anyway? Isn’t he supposed to protect us from this sort of thing?' says Peeta.

'With all that alcohol in him, it’s probably not advisable to have him around an open flame,' I say."

"Imagining my home makes me ache with loneliness. This day has been endless."

# data[].attributes.body
"It’s not easy to find a topic. Talking of home is painful. Talking of the present unbearable."

# data[].attributes.body
"If anything, they have not quite captured the magnificence of the glistening buildings in a rainbow of hues that tower into the air, the shiny cars that roll down the wide paved streets, the oddly dressed people with bizarre hair and painted faces who have never missed a meal."

"My heart starts to pound, I can feel my face burning. Without thinking, I pull an arrow from my quiver and send it straight at the Gamemakers’ table."

“Not really. I hear the girls talk about him a lot. I thought he was your cousin or something. You favor each other,” he says.

“No, we’re not related,” I say.

Peeta nods, unreadable. “Did he come to say good-bye to you?”

"What really scares me is what they might do to my mother and Prim, how my family might suffer now because of my impulsiveness."
