“We’ve reached a stalemate. I can’t shoot Cato without killing Peeta, too. He can’t kill Peeta without guaranteeing an arrow in his brain. We stand like statues, both of us seeking an out. [...] As in a last-ditch effort, Peeta raises his fingers, dripping with blood from his leg, up to Cato’s arm. Instead of trying to wrestle his way free, his forefinger veers off and makes a deliberate X on the back of Cato’s hand. Cato realizes what it means exactly one second after I do...”
The Hunger Games, Chapter25 ~ Suzanne Collins
Ok I never use this phrase, but this is so badass!! I loves this part of the book, it may or may not have something to do with Peeta being my only fav character remaining (poor little Rue, I knew the second I got attached to her I’d given her a death sentence with my whole fav character dying in anything and everything thing )
I wasn’t happy about the background, I wanted a dramatic cloudy storm thing going on but I’m pretty sure its daytime at this point and hot... so I settled for a storm rolling in
This won the 2011 Pearl Award for 'Best Action' on the Mockingjay.net Forums, so THANKS GUYS!!!!
Thankyou so much in advance for your comments, I read every single one of them and appreciate them all even if I dont get a chance to reply to them!
You make the best scenes from the Hunger Games! Nobody else (that I've seen) has done these! And they're so well done! I also believe you have captured Peeta and Katniss perfectly!
