She handed me over to the Fallen like I meant nothing to her, and now, revenge is all I see... moreTHE ONLY PERSON I’VE EVER LOVED was taken from me during the first reaping several months ago.

He came along and became the one Fallen I don’t think I can live without. TROUBLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER NAME.

I should kill her and put an end to the suffering she’s determined impose on all of us, but there’s just something about her that keeps holding me back. The friction between us is explosive. I can’t resist her when she gets that look in her eye, and she damn well knows it. less
