I can’t sleep. I run through today in my head. How could I have been in Amity only this morning?

It must be midnight by now and everyone’s sure to be asleep. I hug my arms around me and pad down the hall. I hear a noise and stop dead. I peer around an open door and see the source of the noise. A beside lamp illuminates the two figures sat huddled on the bed. Katniss is curled up, with her face buried in Peeta’s top. He has his arms around her shivering body.

“And then,” Katniss says, voice muffled by Peeta’s shirt “And then the mutts attacked.”

She sobs and I back slowly out of the room before I’m seen and walk quickly down the corridor. I push the door open and as my eyes adjust I make out the shape of Tobias, huddled in bed. I walk over to him and he rolls over to face me.

“Hey Tris.” He says groggily “Can’t sleep?”

I shake my head and he smiles sleepily. He pulls back the covers and I see that Gale must have given him some pyjamas as Katniss did with me. I climb in beside him and he puts an arm around me comfortingly. He uses his free hand to stroke a strand of my short hair and I fall asleep curled up to him.
