"What was Adler trying to tell Peeta  and I on the elevator? Can I trust her?"

The sound of the cannon rings through my ears. I jump into the water. I can barely swim but I'm a fast learner. I  make it to the Cornacopia. I grab a backpack  and try and get to land but someone stops me. It's Katniss and she's pointing her bow at me, ready to attack. I pull a knife out of my bag as my defence but, Finnick jumps in front of me. "She won't hurt you, she's on our team. " He tells Katniss. She lowers her bow. "Come on. " Finnick says. "Grab what you want and let's get off this damn island." I nod, as I pick up a couple more knives and put them in my backpack. As I get ready to dive off the island with Katniss and Finnick , someone grabs me from behind. It's the guy from 5. "Finnick!!" I scream. "Katniss! Help me!" Katniss turns back and readys her bow, but district 5 is to quick. He's already got me underwater, trying to drown me. "This is it." I tell myself. "This is how your going to die." All of a sudden, his grasp on me loosens and I see the water around is turning red. Finnick killed him with his trident. I try and swim to the island but I can't. The guy from 5 had a strong grip and I'm bleeding from the knife he had. I start treading water, and start sinking. Finnick suddenly jumps into the water, and grabs me by the waist and propells us through the water to land. When we get to land I just lay there for a minute in Finnick's arms.  The searing pain in my shoulder gets worse because now that I'm not drowning, I'm focusing on it more, and the salt in the water didn't help. The blood is trinkling down my shoulder and I put my hand over it and apply pressure. I look in my backpack and I see I have a some rope, a flashlight, a blanket and a bottle. I see if it has water. It doesn't. "Seriously? How hard would it have been to fill this thing!?" I say angrily. Katniss comes over to me and she has a cloth. "Here." She says kindly, and  bandages it for me. "Thank you." I say
"You ok?" Peeta asks me. I nod. "Yeah I'm fine, thanks. " Finnick grins."Guess we're not holding hands anymore." He say. "You think that's funny?" Katniss askes grimly. Finnick points to the sky. "Everytime that cannon goes off it's a music to my ears." He says. "I don't care about any of them" Katniss nods. "Good to know "She says. "We better go." I say "The careers will be looking for us soon."
