[ Hello all public enemy number one has decided to crawl out from underneath his rock and make a journal entry. However this time there's a slight change to his voice...the cockiness and arrogance is still there but it's a little distant. It's as if there's something playing on his already damaged mind.]

Ah memories...they are such fragile things are they not?

There are some schools of thought that say a person's personality is defined by his memories. Whether it be the memory of a mothers warm embrace, that first kiss with the fairer sex or the pain of a betrayal from a friend they all make us what we are today.

So for the castle to manipulate them...to add them or remove them entirely in such a way is very wicked indeed.

[Is he referring to his time at Hogwarts or is he talking about something else entirely...who knows?]

That is not to say it was not enlightening to be young again...to relive the glory and hope of ones teenage years.

Maybe that is the lesson here...to hold on and saviour ones youth before it is whisked away by the ravages and ways of the world?

[That gets a raised eyebrow Katniss.]

Oof that stings.

Do you really think you know me so well after such a short space of time?

Yes. I do. I think there hasn't been a single action you've taken for years that has given something to someone else. It's all for your need of revenge. Your need to profit.

Oh Miss Everdeen...you could not be more wrong.

I do give to others, but only if they can give something in return...quid pro quo if you will.

That is how the world works after all.

So in the end, you always benefit.

Selfish.

And ...arrogant. I knew someone like you, once.

[He gives a disappointed sigh and shakes his head.]

Come now...do you really think there is such a thing as a selfless act in this world or any other?

Every act is committed because a person wishes to gain from it in some way shape or form.

You stop to help a little old lady across the street because it gives you a sense of moral satisfaction. Soldiers fight for their country because it gives them a sense of honour. Even parents love their children because it gives them a sense of purpose in this big wide nasty world.

I did not have you down as being naive Miss Everdeen.

[His tone shifts from the serious nature back to his smug side again]

And who might this person be whom I remind you of so much? A handsome individual no doubt.

I'm not naive. I know there are such things as selfless acts. Just because you're too filled with crazy to see them doesn't make them stop existing.

[And here, she is on solid ground. She has been on the hand of too many selfless acts - hers or others.]

He was very handsome.

[He laughs]

Oh stop it you...

Who exactly was he?

His name was Cato ... he was one of the volunteers from District 1 in my first Hunger Game.

A fellow rival.

How delightfully ironic.

Irony doesn't cover it.

He threatened Peeta too.

I shot him through the shoulder.

My...how rough!

Oh, that wasn't the rough part.

The rough part is where I did it so he would fall off the roof of the cornucopia we were stranded on.

Into the pack of wild Mutts, that ate him. Slowly.

[You're getting a laugh Katniss...a slow,very insane chuckle that shows just how much he approves of such methods.]

Beautiful.

[Yeah, she thought you'd like that.]

Now, he was a desperate boy, just trying to stay alive like the rest of us in the Games. I felt bad for him.

So imagine what I'll plan for you, if you cross me.

I guess we'll find out soon enough...won't we sugar?

Sugar? Really? That's beneath you. You know my name, Raoul.
