My feet feel like they could fall apart at any moment, as I try and take in the arena. Its divided into different sections two people on a platform per section. Water fills each section and a rocky path leads to the cornacopia. I look around for Finnick my eyes scanning the area, but i cant spot him. He must be on the other side. I spot a selections of knives along with two tridents, those are definitely for me and Finn. 

The count down starts and I feel myself getting ready for the water, I can get to the cornicopia first easy. The problem is fighting my way out without Finnick.

I dive into the water and start swimming as fast as I can to the rocks pulling myself to keep going against the waves. I make it to the rocks climbing up and starting to sprint towards the cornicopia. I look around and I can see the others just making there way out of the water, I obviously had an advantage. 

I keep my footing steady and make it to the cornacopia grabbing a bag shoving some knives in it and grabbing a trident. I make my way to the other side of the cornacopia and someone gets a grab on my throat I kick and scream pushing them into the water, I grab my trident throwing it into their chest killing them instantly. I decide its better to go back to the front and as I race there im greeted by Finnick. This makes me let out a breath until he speaks,

"Good thing we are Allies right" He faces Katniss and tell her to duck throwing his trident into there chest and yanking it out,

"Dont trust any of the career pack, look out for Peeta." He disappears behind the cornacopia and im hurt, I thought we agreed on no allies. I tell myself to forget it since its to late and hear Finn yell that hes found Peeta. Katniss rushes to the side of the rocks along with me to see Peeta and one of the tributes fighting in the water. Finnick dives in after them disappearing under the dark waves. 

Second go by and a cannon goes off along with a body foating to the top, Katniss and I both freak out thinking the worst but when Finnick pops out of the water hauling Peeta I take no time to wrap myself around him. 

"What the hell, I thought you were dead" I let a tear slip down my face and he seems surprised hugging me tightly and telling me he is alright.

"We need to head out now"Peeta pulls himself to his feet and starts jogging towards the dense jungle surrounding the water. We follow close behind.

....

I spend most of our time walking trying to avoid Finnick at all possible cost, im still mad about him going behind my back and making allies. His eyes travel to my direction but I keep walking and walking. We have been walking for about an hour when Katniss yells to Peeta and he goes flying sending me and Finnick into a tree.

Then everything goes black.
