Finnick P.O.V.

We are in the sewer being chased by the large lizard mutts, just barely ahead of the ugly creatures. A few feet back, some Avoxes sacrificed themselves to the mutts, allowing us to get a little farther ahead. I silently thank the Avoxes, hoping they didn't have anyone too close to them. Though everyone has suffered some sort of major heartbreak in this world, losing a person you love isn't easy and will always pain you in some sort of way. I, of course, have suffered this. My mother and father were both killed at the hands of the Capitol. While this really intensified my hatred towards the Capitol, it's what they have done to my Annie that makes me really hate them. Annie…

No. I need to concentrate on getting out of this sewer if I want to see Annie again. I am fighting for her and our family. I need to survive this. I turn my head and see that the mutts are getting closer to our trail, and the ladder leading out of the sewer is just up ahead. We are almost out.

We approach the ladder leading upwards towards the Capitol Street. Peeta climbs up first, followed by Katniss and a few camera crew members whose names I have forgotten. Gale starts to climb up next while I guard the ladder, poising my trident to kill any creature coming to attack. Gale is halfway up the ladder when the first mutt comes.

The mutt's roaring and growling echoes throughout the sewer and I throw my trident at its chest. The trident sinks into its chest and the mutt falls down. A few more come and the same fate meets them. While this customized trident is really helping me, I can't stay down here much longer. Eventually, more mutts will come and I'll be greatly outnumbered. If that happens, I won't survive. The next mutt isn't within a five foot radius, so I grab my trident and start to climb up the ladder.

Halfway up the ladder, I feel something clamp down on my right leg and I feel a sharp pain shoot up it. I take my trident and stab the mutt in the head with it, not watching to see the thing fall down. With my injured leg, it's hard to climb up this ladder, but I must get up there. I must get back to my Annie.

A few more mutts approach and I know that I must climb faster or I'll be these mutts's lunch. I hear Katniss shouting to me from the Capitol Street and I see her stretch her hand out. I reach out, but another mutt gets a hold of my right foot. I hear a crunching sound and feel a pain like no other. I scream in pain and see that my right foot has been torn off my leg. Blood drips on the ladder and down onto the sewer floor. I grit my teeth and climb up, ignoring the excruciating pain. Oh, the pain…

Annie. Annie needs you, Finnick. Fight for Annie. It's this thought that makes me forget about my pain and helps me pull myself up this ladder and out onto the Capitol Street. Sweat is pouring down my forehead, and blood is dripping out of the place where my foot was ripped off.

"Oh my God, Finnick!" Katniss shouts. I feel the edges of my vision blur and start to close my eyes. I hear Gale talking into his earpiece, and Katniss and Peeta try to keep me awake. But it's no use. I feel myself drip into darkness and unconsciousness in the street.
