Our souls became one today. All of your memories gifted themselves as thought constructs that descended from the heavens and imprinted their structures upon my internal circuitry.

My monster changed slightly, as did his family within my library. My custodian took full form as a beautiful warrior woman wielding a gnarled biting battle-ax. My demon now wraps hurled strife upon winged flight of dragon might.

Dear Journal,

I never thought in a million years that it would happen. I had always been careful to make sure tht she didn't take any extra, because it would mean a higher chance of her getting selected. I had been so careful. I had sacrificed my chances in order to protect her. I broke laws to make sure that my family was fed, but it hadn't been enough. With one entry, she had been selected, and I had no choice but to throw myself into the lion's den instead of her. I had to, there was no way she would have survived. After all, this was the same girl who, when we were hunting, cried and tried to bring a squirrel back to life after I had killed it for food once. Now I am risking never seeing her again. I know I won't. After all, some of the most vicious Careers are coming in and the only advantage I have is my skill with a bow and arrow. I'm worried sick about my sister, and I'm worried sick about my mom. What if she shuts herself away from the world again? I won't be there to pick up the slack. Hopefully, my best friend will be able to support them as well as his own family. It's alot to ask, but he says he doesn't mind. The only thing he asked is that I come back alive. I can only hope. I think the weirdest thing that happened today, was when the boy tribute came up. I hope he doesn't remember, but the way he shook my hand says otherwise. He held on a little longer than I would have liked before letting go and turning to face the crowd. I thought he would say something, considering I owe him so much for saving me from starving to death. Maybe he will be useful to me in the arena, or maybe he's just trying to gain sympathy from me. Either way, I will keep my friends close and enemies closer. I'll have to if I want to get home to my mother and my sister. I just hope I won't have to stay long. I have to go now. I have to meet my mentor and fellow tribute to discuss how to stay alive in the arena.

Sincerely,

Katniss E.
