HOPE
I WAKE up in my tiny, uncomfortable bed I'm still dressed in the rags of my Maze game outfit but a blanket has been thrown over me and a glass of water left on a tiny bedside cupboard. I guzzle the whole thing down and then close my eyes to rest a little more.
"Four candidates survived. Three are in a very critical condition, but one got out unscathed. Only has the injury from the vines. She fucking turned our puppet back to wolves! Something we couldn't do all this while," my eyes snap open once I hear a baritone voice report, very thick with disbelief.
Footsteps follow fast—before the doors slam open.
"How the hell did she do that?" A man storms in, his breath ragged. "I can swear that girl isn't human."
"You're pissing me the fuck off with your words, Zade."
