“And for the first time, I understand what he means. I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to make them accountable, to show the Capitol that whatever they do or force us to do there is a part of every tribute they can’t own. That Rue was more than a piece in their Games. And so am I.”

“What happens next is not an
accident. It is too well executed to be spontaneous, because it happens in
complete unison. Every person in the crowd presses the three middle fingers of
their left hand against their lips and extends them to me. It's our sign from
District 12, the last good-bye I gave Rue in the arena.”

“But I'm not naked. I'm in a
dress of the exact design of my wedding dress, only it's the color of coal and
made of tiny feathers. Wonderingly, I lift my long, flowing sleeves into the
air, and that's when I see myself on the television screen. Clothed in black
except for the white patches on my sleeves. Or should I say my wings.
Because Cinna has turned me
into a mockingjay.”

“Shame isn't a strong enough word for what I feel.

“Almost, but not quite,” says Haymitch from behind us. I whip around, afraid he’s going to be angry over us watching his tape, but he just smirks and takes a swig from a bottle of wine. So much for sobriety. I guess I should be upset he’s drinking again, but I’m preoccupied with another feeling. I’ve spent all these weeks getting to know who my competitors are, without even thinking about who my teammates are. Now a new kind of confidence is lighting up inside of me, because I think I finally know who Haymitch is. And I’m beginning to know who I am. And surely, two people who have caused the Capitol so much trouble can think of a way to get Peeta home alive.”
