When I wake up next, Johanna is screaming at me to wake up, I turn to my screen. I flinch away because at first the light is too bright for me, but once my eyes adjust I see the camera closening up on a small but promising crack in the dam.
They wouldn't!
Not only it that extremely cruel, but extremely unfair. Then again, District four is the only people that would know how to swim, so this should make me happy. But dying kids never make me happy. If Annie is going to hold on until the end, this is the best way. I just sit on my chair, like the other mentors, staring in anticipation.
The dam cracks some more. I little more. I little more. The crack starts turning into booming snaps and are echoing throughout the arena.
I just hope Annie can snap out of her thoughts to be able to swim...
"Hey, fish-face!" Johanna says. When did she get so mean? Oh yeah...I feel guilty because it really is my fault. I do know some guys though.
I look up to her and she points towards the screen were the two Careers left get sent a small raft. I am guessing it the biggest they can afford, but it will fit two people for sure.
When they receive it they look around and yell toward the sky. They don't get it. And as if on cue, the dam finally breaks.
It's like a water fall. But worse, there is nowhere for this water to go. They show shots of the water hitting the edge of the force field, like a wall. I wonder if that could break the force field...
"It won't break." Haymitch says coming out of nowhere. What? Can everyone read my thoughts now?
"No. It's just really easy to read off your face."
"Oh, wait!" He just laughs, vomits, and passes out. Chaff comes over laughing hysterically, and pulls him away by his feet.
I look up and see the Annie has registered the fact that there is water. It's about an inch deep where she is. She smiles and lies back down. I know the feeling. The feeling of home.
The Careers on the other hand are running all over, trying to kill as many tributes before they are too deep in the water. The mange to kill two.
Soon the water is high enough for them to stop and they start of to their raft. Then, surprising, and that was indeed sarcasm, the girl from District one is pushed into the water by the boy form 1, he jabs a knife into her thigh and hops into the raft. A cannon goes off for her.
At this point the water is about seven feet deep. Annie is sitting in a tree, swinging her legs back and forth like there isn't a care in the world. She looks...happy. I cringe at the thought of that.
"What's wrong Finnick? With your tribute so close to winning, shouldn't you be happy?" The rude mentor from five says.
"Yeah, I guess...hey? Can you shut up? I'm kind of busy. I'll ignore you later." I tell him.
Ten feet. The last Career is in the water with knives and throwing them at tributes when there spotted. The other tributes are climbing the trees. Those who can't climb-cannon. Drown. Cannon.
Twenty feet. The water is speeding up. Where is it coming from? Annie is high up in a tree. She looks angry, irritated. I would be too, if I were in this situation.
There are four tributes left. District 1, Annie, the girl from 11, and the boy from eight.
The guy from District one spots the guy from eight, reaching the top of his tree, with his chin barley above water. He started paddling the boat toward him.
