Unprotected. The thought hadn't even occured to Katniss, who no longer feared anything, even the dinosaurs with all of their teeth. Even the Capitol. There comes a time when a person, pushed to something of a brink, becomes incredibly dangerous; when there genuinely is nothing left to keep them in check. Katniss Everdeen was one of these people, but luckily for the people on this island, she'd turned those emotions inwards instead of out, instead of lashing out violently.

Instead, she doesn't move. Jason should know how easy it is to become as still as a statue. "Go. AWAY." her voice raises - it's not a scream, but it's too shrill for her normally low and rough voice. It cracks from the strain, tears stinging inside her throat.

If he doesn't move, she'll throw things at him, too.
