Even as a cat, the blame in Daine's eyes is unmistakable. The roar she lets out as she twists away sounds almost human, and a shiver runs up and down Peeta's spine. There's something different about the way she is straining against him, though, and he forces himself to look around.

The man - the thing - is gone. Peeta quickly pulls his gaze away from the small, distant forms on the ground where he was and makes a quick survey of the surrounding area. Finding it clear, he finally lets go of Daine.

Even as he pushes himself to his feet, arms shaking slightly from the effort of holding Daine, his eyes swing back to Edgar and Almondine's bodies.
