Rue's Diary

Day Four

Day four is looking less promising, because Katniss is nowhere to be found, though she isn’t dead. If she was, her face would be projected into the sky.

I find myself spying on the Careers on a day-to-day basis. After what looked like a bad attack from the Tracker Jackers yesterday, they all went to the pond as well, trying to cleanse themselves. The boy from District 12 is long gone, not dead, but probably now alone. I believe his name is Peeta, but I can’t be certain. It doesn’t matter.

I’ve been keeping myself warm by sticking my extra pair of socks on my hands. There is little to do, so I twiddle my thumbs, waiting for Katniss to show up, waiting to see what her next move is. The last deaths were Glimmer and the girl from District 4, but besides that, I don’t think that there’s even been any action today. No deaths now, but hopefully, I will change that soon.
