10th Throw - [ voice ]

[shenevermisses]

[Backdated to 4:30 AM, October 25th:

A little over twelve hours have given her time to think.

With everything she knows about this place, the body might be gone by now. But it might not. It's too close to her camp to deny knowledge and be believed.

The lie she told Cato will have to do for everyone.

So, at four-thirty in the morning, after dressing for the draft she was called for, she opens her journal.]

Katniss Everdeen died yesterday.

[The announcement. Now, the lie.]

We were hunting and ran into a pack of wild dogs. We separated. I found her after, but I was too late.

[It only buys her a week. Six days, now, until District Twelve comes back and tells everyone.

But a week's a long time in the Arena. A week will help.]

I'm leaving with the others for the draft soon, but I wanted to tell everyone first.

[Back to battle and bloodshed.

Where everything will make sense.]

[ After this goes down, so post 5am, when Clove has probably already left; Ikki's still going to leave the message ]

Be careful, Clover! Come home safe, okay? [ There's genuine worry in her tone, although it's probably too late for Clove to receive the well-wishes. ]

And...I'm sorry, about your friend.

Wild dogs? I didn't even know we had those!

I'm sorry to hear she died.

[theogre]

I am sorry for your loss.

[She's awake and heading to the draft herself, but she has enough time to respond.]

[ The name doesn't mean much to Lightning - she doesn't connect it with the young woman who scoffed at the idea of keeping pets who weren't inherently useful. However, in a slight stroke of irony... ]

Wild dogs...?

[ Her voice has a slight hint of question to it, but only just. ]

[ ...Both of them now. Both gone in this short period of time, one simply whisked away and the other...

It's a feeling he hasn't felt in years. The feeling that he has led a pair of Tributes to slaughter and they didn't have a chance in hell. ]

What happened?

[ Grief-stricken or not, that explanation is not going to fly as a proper end to Katniss Evedeen. ]
