Description
Rue could feel the audience during her interview. They had their breaths bated, leaning forward hungrily in their chairs. "A Peacekeeper killed my father," Rue told Caesar Flickerman, and the Capitol crowd burst ferociously in gasps and shrieks. Some turned to their neighboring audience member. Others had their breaths bated, leaning hungrily forward. Rue was sixteen, and she didn't know that her words would cause Panem to break. Her and Thresh's lives would drastically change. Her only allies - enemies; overlooked, starving faces. Her mind felt as malnourished as her stomach had been for all those years in Eleven, yet her atmosphere now had never been so thick. It had never overflown with such threatening consequence. Rue/Thresh, Marvel/Foxface, and way later, Peeta/Katniss
