Suzanne Collins
It's impossible to be the Mockingjay. Impossible to complete even this one sentence. Because now I know that everything I say will be directly taken out on Peeta. Result in his torture. But not his death, no nothing so merciful as that. Snow will ensure that his life is much worse than death.
Suzanne Collins
Tuck in your tail, little duck.
Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins
