[Six - Right Through The Eye] [Wonderland Plot]

[the_effect_she_has]

[When the journal opens, there are drops of water that drip down on the page. They are erratic, so it is not rain. The faint smell of salt comes from them, and when the shaky writing appears ... well, you can only assume they are tears. Because they are.]

Peeta is ... gone. He's gone ... home.

[There are more spatters on the page, and then a shaky breath.]

Peeta is gone, and there's a mirror here in the front hall. Since I don't have anything left to lose, I figured I'd just go through it. And if I die? All the better.

[There's the angry wiping of her eyes.] I don't care anymore, do you understand? You took the boy I loved, and I don't care what happens to me now. So you can go to Hell, Castle. Straight to Hell.

[She breaths out.] See you on the other side.

[She grits her teeth together, as she puts together her pack.]

I don't think I really care any more, Doctor... but thanks.

[pompous_today]

I understand the feeling. Still, there are some left in the castle who still care what happens to you.

[the_effect_she_has]

...I know, and I'm sorry to leave them. But I learned a long time ago -- I can't survive without Peeta.

[pompous_today]

But are you so sure that is true?

[Because he felt the same way without River, and yet here is, six months later... He then pauses, realizing that not everyone is like him.]

Forgive me- you know yourself better than anybody. I will still hope that nothing happens to you, though.

[the_effect_she_has]

[There is a long, long pause.]

...I will never love anyone, like I loved Peeta. But ...but. I understand.

[pompous_today]

Good. Everyone will be awaiting your safe return.

[the_effect_she_has]

Dr. Tam ... thank you. I appreciate it.

[pompous_today]

You're welcome, Katniss.
