Heart made of glass. My mind of stone.
Tear me to pieces. Skin to bone."

Hissing echoed throughout the tunnels, scratching at Indiana's brains and sending shivers skittering down her spine. Weapon in hand, Indiana agreed with the consensus that the group was not about to split up. Katniss needed them, even if she refused to accept it.
Covering up the traces of their overnight stay, the group set off through the tunnels once more. Their feet ached and their bodies protested but the sounds of the Mutts pushed them forward at a faster pace than they had the previous day. Swiftly moving through the tunnels, their movements were sloppier than before. Each step sounded louder than the last and the unmistakable ring of metal on metal reverberated down the tunnel as their weapons clanged against the pipes. Garbled screams rang through the air as the squadron entered into a section of neglected train tracks. Indiana's hand dropped from Cato's. She knew that sound. She had heard it more times than she ever wanted to.
"Avoxes." Peeta said immediately, confirming Indiana's thoughts.
They had both heard that sound during their imprisonment. Snow ensured they could hear the screams of the innocent.
"The Mutts are killing anything they come across."
"They won't stop until they get to Katniss." Gale said nonchalantly, not realising that would encourage Katniss to attempt to convince Squad 451 – no, her friends to leave her.
"For fucks sake, Katniss, stop being the martyr." Indiana scolded.
Whilst she knew Katniss didn't want any of them to die for her or for the cause, Indiana knew that if they left the Mockingjay on her own, she was less likely to survive. All of them had worked too hard and lost too much in order to get Katniss this far. They were not about to make careless mistakes. Eventually the screams died down but the hissing of Katniss' name returned, seeping through the walls and the floor beneath their feet. Fear rippled down the group, each one as terrified as the next. No one had any idea what Mutt had been concocted to follow them, only that it was fast and undoubtedly deadly.
Sprinting faster than their feet could carry them, they flew through the pipes after Messalla had been caught in a pod. Peacekeepers poured in from one direction whilst the hissing came from the other. Without faltering, Indiana fired arrow after arrow into the crowd of white, aiming for the weak links in their armour and impaling their jugulars. A man on his knees flashed before Cato's eyes as he stared at the uniform his father had once worn. Unaware of his mental torment, Indiana yelled for her husband, confused as to why he wasn't aiding in the defeat of the Peacekeepers. Whilst the Capitol soldiers outnumbered the rebels, they lacked the skill and emotional drive that powered Squad 451. Four-limbed reptilian Mutts slithered over the deceased Peacekeepers and began devouring them, terrifying the rebels.
