It bothers her to think of his friends and family and how she's hurt them, how maybe they want revenge upon her. She finds it hard to quit thinking about the boy from District 1 and realizes it's because he was her first true kill, the first person she took action against knowing that her strike would kill him.
But then she remembers that she promised Rue she'd win for the both of them, so she needs to be the one to survive the Games. When she wakes, she forces herself to keep going and thinks of Peeta and what he'll think of her if he sees how she decorated Rue's body, so that he'll know she understood what he said on the roof that night, about staying true to oneself during the Games. That night, she dreams of Rue singing songs and trying to speak to the mockingjays. Katniss understands that it's from District 11 and thanks them. She decides that she will make the Careers pay for Rue's death and gathers her supplies to move on through the woods.Ī gift comes to her: an unfamiliar loaf of bread. Katniss wreaths Rue's face with flowers and presses the three middle fingers of her left hand against her lips, saying goodbye to Rue.
She recalls Peeta's words about showing the Capitol that he's not simply a piece in their Games. She wants revenge on the Capitol and wonders if there's a way for her to do it. Rue dies and Katniss realizes just how much she hates the Capitol for doing this to Rue, for doing this to all of the tributes. Katniss sings a lullaby from her district, and when she's finished, the mockingjays pick up her song. Rue makes Katniss promise that she'll win for both of them, and then asks Katniss to sing her a song.
With a single arrow, Katniss kills the boy from District 1, who speared Rue, and takes Rue's hand.
