tailieunhanh - CATCHING FIRE Part 10

Khi tôi thức dậy, tôi có một cảm giác ngắn gọn, ngon của hạnh phúc là bằng cách nào đó kết nối với Peeta. Hạnh phúc, tất nhiên, là một phi lý hoàn chỉnh vào thời điểm này, vì theo tỷ giá mọi thứ đang đi, tôi sẽ chết trong một ngày. | When I wake I have a brief delicious feeling of happiness that is somehow connected with Peeta. Happiness of course is a complete absurdity at this point since at the rate things are going I ll be dead in a day. And that s the best-case scenario if I m able to eliminate the rest of the field including myself and get Peeta crowned as the winner of the Quarter Quell. Still the sensation s so unexpected and sweet I cling to it if only for a few moments. Before the gritty sand the hot sun and my itching skin demand a return to reality. Everyone s already up and watching the descent of a parachute to the beach. I join them for another delivery of bread. It s identical to the one we received the night before. Twenty-four rolls from District 3. That gives us thirty-three in all. We each take five leaving eight in reserve. No one says it but eight will divide up perfectly after the next death. Somehow in the light of day joking about who will be around to eat the rolls has lost its humor. How long can we keep this alliance I don t think anyone expected the number of tributes to drop so quickly. What if I am wrong about the others protecting Peeta If things were simply coincidental or it s all been a strategy to win our trust to make us easy prey or I don t understand what s actually going on Wait there s no ifs about that. I don t understand what s going on. And if I don t it s time for Peeta and me to clear out of here. I sit next to Peeta on the sand to eat my rolls. For some reason it s difficult to look at him. Maybe it was all that kissing last night although the two of us kissing isn t anything new. It might not even have felt any different for him. Maybe it s knowing the brief amount of time we have left. And how we re working at such cross-purposes when it comes to who should survive these Games. After we eat I take his hand and tug him toward the water. Come on. I ll teach you how to swim. I need to get him away from the others where we can discuss breaking away.
