HOOK O'MALLEY

Abel was an asshole toward me in the Justice Building, so I wouldn't be surprised if he treated others who came to speak to him before he left that same way, too. I would've paid to see he and his brother say goodbye. I don't know how he and Cain treat each other in private. I don't know if they bicker all the time. I don't know if they hug and cry. I don't know if they try to murder each other constantly, but I think it would be quite interesting to know what Abel's hiding, because I can tell he has secrets.

Although, there's pretty solid odds backing the probability that I will never have the chance to find that out. When he went off to the Capitol and then proceeded to enter the arena, he had a one in twenty-four chance of survival. Now that four tributes are dead, his chances are better. Regardless, I'm not sure how confident I am in his abilities.

He's up against people like Bastian Fray, Nixie Summers and other career tributes, after all.

Even if I don't like to admit it to anyone, I admitted it to Fly: I'm proud of Abel so far. He survived the bloodbath without even running away immediately. He fought a little bit, got some stuff, and then ran away. He didn't die, and that's something to be proud of, I think. Yeah, it definitely is, actually. It's definitely something to be proud of.

I'm not normally the type of person who expresses her every thought and feeling, but Fly likes to pry. I have a hard time not letting her know how I'm feeling when she pries like that. She may seem innocent and fragile, but that girl can take the truth. So, I give it to her, and she never gives me shit about it. She just listens, acknowledges me, and sometimes gives me her opinion on the subject, too.

When she told me how proud she was of Abel, and asked if I was, too, she had this hopeful look in her eyes. Who was I to disappoint my sister by lying to her when the truth would make her happy?
