Weird rumbling noises woke me up. "Katniss... Katniss." I hit Peeta's arm. "Katniss." He finally woke up.

The rumbling became louder making everyone slowly wake up.

"What is that's?" Jackson asked. I shook my head at the noise. It sounded so familiar.

"This should take her memory." An unfamiliar voice said. "Sir the mutts, you'd asked me to make." "Jefferson shh! Her sleep meds are about to wear off!" "Sorry well uhhh they aren't stealthy. They make noise." "That's fine, I doubt we will be using them. Now go!"

I looked at Peeta who looked at me. We must have had the same memory.

"We gotta go!" Peeta yelled. "We gotta get outta here now!" I yelled too. "Keep your voices down." Gale scolded.

"Mutts!" "They released mutts!" Peeta and I spoke over each other.

"Pollux, what's the fastest way out?" Pollux signaled to go right. Gale shot his a flamed arrow to light the path.

Before walking out fully I pointed my flashlight to the left, no mutts. But that didn't give me the peace I wanted.

"Mutts." Peeta said over and over again. "Shh, we'll be okay." When we got to a turn we went left, Gale shot another arrow luckily no mutts.

The water was about up to our waists Pollux pointed that we will have to crawl through a small hole into another room. I stared at the other side of the tunnels where the noises are coming from.

This time Peeta reassured me. "You'll be fine, Finnick will protect you." I gave him a weak smile.

Finnick tapped my shoulder, it was my turn to go through. Katniss held out her hand for me to take I smiled and took it and pulled my legs fully out.

Peeta army crawled fast through I helped stabilize him once he was. "Wait there." He nodded as I waited for Finnick and Roland to come through.

We all backed up waiting for Jackson to come through. Instead we watched in horror as tall lanky no face creatures crawl through.

Katniss quickly shot her making fire hit them. She fell back, everyone quickly helped her up.

"Go! Go! Go!" "It's mutts!" "Come on, come on, come on!" "Pollux, lead us out of here!" We all yelled over each other.

Finnick put a hand on my waist so I would fall in the water.

As we ran Castor was tackled by one of those things.

I turned quickly and grabbed my sword it whined as I sliced his arm.

"Go Cypress!" Roland and Finnick yelled. I was on one side near Peeta Gale Pollux and Katniss. "Fall back!" Another person yelled.

Cressida Finnick and Roland ran the opposite direction. I grabbed Peeta's shoulder and pushed him to run.

I gripped my sword and gun tightly as we ran turning left as more came after us. I helped Peeta up since he didn't have a weapon, Katniss shot her flaming arrow.

I didn't even have time to comprehend that Finnick and Roland weren't with me.

"Katniss! Look out!" I yelled as I swung my sword at the mutt right before it was about to take a bite out of her.

Pollux helped Peeta as I helped Katniss.

My shoulders burned as I swung my sword. As I killed one I was tackled from behind.

I fell with a loud grunt. I felt it's slimy hands all over me. I pushed my hand on its face trying to make it not bite me as it screamed.

Another came from above landing on me. Right as it was about to bite me a spear went through its chest.

I was able to grab a small knife from my pocket and stab the other one.

I quickly got up, Finnick stood. I was so happy I could kiss him but before I had a chance too more came around.

I looked around as Finnick and I fought back to back. Roland was killing as many as he could but they were slowly gaining on him.

Cressida grabbed Peeta and made him rush up the ladder. "Go! Go! Go!" Finnick yelled I grabbed Katniss who sat in shock.

"Come on!" I pulled her up. "Go! Cypress!" Finnick yelled. As she went up the ladder I covered her.

"Katniss! Go!" Finnick yelled. "Cypress go!" He threw his trident hitting a mutt that was behind me.

"Katniss get away from that tree!" Finnick yelled this time running towards Katniss. "No! Finnick! Don't! FINNICK!" I took two steps forward as her arrow flew through the air right as the lightning struck.

"Katniss get away from that tree!" Finnick yelled this time running towards Katniss. "No! Finnick! Don't! FINNICK!" I took two steps forward as her arrow flew through the air right as the lightning struck.

I watched in horror as Finnick's body burned.

"CYPRESS!" He screamed as flames consumed his body, the arena fell around him... crushing him.

"The video." I mumbled. Snow likes to play mind games.

I looked over at Roland who was still fighting every mutt within his eye sight.

Roland was fighting Brutus. The swords screeched together. Brutus got above him his sword sliced into Roland's stomach.

The mutts couldn't get close enough to Roland so they started to slash their long sharp claws at his stomach.

"Cypress! Go!" Finnick yelled. Roland looked over for a spilt second. "Go, Cypress!" He yelled. "We are right behind you."

"Come on!" I quickly climbed up the ladder Roland and Finnick both close behind.

I looked down just to see Finnick's shoulder get bit. "Finn!" I yelled. "Go! Right behind you!" Roland killed the mutt that bit him.

Once I made it to the top I didn't move I waited for them.

They both started climbing up fast.

Right when I let out a breath they both screamed again. I watched in horror as they were both pulled back down.

"FINNICK! ROLAND!" I screamed as loud as I could.
