Thank goodness that Peeta was still asleep when you returned. You return to bed, feeling not an ounce of guilt. You yawn, exhausted from your long, full-speed flight.

"Avery?" Peeta mutters sleepily. Ugh. Too loud, Avery.

"Yeah?" you ask.

"You alright? I woke up and you weren't there." Oop.

"Yeah. Yeah, Peeta, I'm fine," you lie.

"Just checking," he utters and immediatley starts to snore. "Good night, Avery."

"Goodnight, Peeta Bread," are your last words until you fall asleep. 

In the morning . . .

"Wake up, Avery! There's a mandatory viewing!" Peeta shakes you awake.

"Ok, let's go to the cafeteria,"  you growl, completely deprived of energy.

You rush out of the door, catch up with Finnick and Annie, and go get your table.

The screen flickers on. Instead of Snow, you see the most shocking aftermath to your plan.

Katniss Everdeen is staring at a camera. Straight into your soul.
