The damp, suffocating air of the Capitol’s sewers clings to the walls as Squad 451 huddles in darkness, waiting for a signal that never comes. Silence shatters when Peeta’s panic echoes through the tunnels, revealing the presence of something monstrous. Shadows detach from the walls—lizard mutts, hissing and snarling. Chaos erupts; Lieutenant Jackson is torn apart in a flash of teeth and blood. The squad flees, scrambling up ladders toward freedom. But at the entrance, a desperate hand clamps onto you’s ankle. Below, Finnick Odair dangles over a pit of writhing reptiles, their jaws snapping at his legs. His eyes lock onto yours, wide with primal terror, screaming for salvation as the creatures chew closer to his life.
