Silk fiddles with her spear, blood dripping from the end like some sort of apocalyptic rain. She's probably proud of what she's just done, I mean, the name Le Roux certainly comes with an expectation to live up to. It's an expectation that is a world away from the one associated with LaChance; I'm supposed to be dead, already, if the stars had their way. And she's probably supposed to have killed me.
But fate doesn't have to work like that. There can be obstacles, and if I have any chance of getting out of here alive, I've got to throw myself in front of something murderous with a hope that they'll fall short. No heartstrings severed - they may be torn and tangled, but they are still in tact, somehow. And all I can really care about is that I'm still breathing at the end of this, and that I can finally stop living in fear of tomorrow so that I can finally live. Live properly, like how I used to and how I used to take for granted - I just want to live.
Garrison showed me that not all careers are as strong as you think. He said he didn't think he could win these games, and that surprised me a little. You'd think that when someone trains their whole life for a moment like this, they'd be able to deliver at the very least, right? Kinda sad that it isn't always like that, kinda sad because that's years of someone's life wasted becoming someone they weren't supposed to be. I can only pray that it is the same case with Silk; One versus Seven was always one for the history books and the odds are rarely in my favour. But I'm not going to kiss the ring without a fight.
Kane and Fitz may be gone, Garrison may not be here - but they've got my back.
"For someone with no reason to die, trying to avenge a corpse seems rather counterproductive, if you ask me."
But that's where she's wrong because this isn't vengeance at all. She may have killed Kyler but I'm not going after her for revenge. I'm going after her because her death means I'm one step closer to where I need to be. She's already beaten, battered and bruised and maybe I'm a coward for picking on someone when they are down, but nobody ever won the Hunger Games by playing Mr. Nice Guy. As sad as it was and still is, that's something Diana's death taught me. Heart might be everything to someone but if you can't learn to separate that from your head then it can be fatal.
"No," I exhale slight laughter, "yeah, you may have killed Kyler and not even bat an eyelid, but this isn't about that. This isn't revenge, this is karma."
Silk tells Lorraine that she's going to deal with the thorn in her side. Well, good - I hope I'm sharp and cutting right where I need to. Because I'm not going to stop just because she wants me to or expects me to. Her words aren't worth more than mine, and though she gashes my thigh open with her blade, I suck it up. Because Le Roux means just as much as Lachance: nothing.
I'm alone in this, sure, but I've never felt more whole. My loneliness doesn't have to kill me - it can kill her.
