Picking up the pieces of the vase make me feel weak. It makes me feel like I have finally broken. I am mad at myself, but I realize that it was good for me. Good to let it out. I put all of the pieces into the trash and look up through the kitchen window. I don't see the car driving through the street at first but as it comes into view, it pulls up to my house. I start panicking because those machines were only ever in use in the Capitol. Someone has come to finish me off. There was many peacekeepers working for the Capitol. There is a large chance that a few dozen made it out alive, set foot into the woods, ready for revenge. I turn my head away from the window and run as fast as I can to the back door. I'm not wearing a coat or shoes and the thin layer of snow on the ground freezes my toes. It doesn't matter. I can rest when I'm dead. I skid down the hill into the woods to find my bow and arrow. I find it and hide behind a tree as the snow makes my socks soaking wet. I take a deep breath and feel a little bit better. That's when I realize that I left the damn back door open. They'll know where I am. I stay put anyway.
