"Lila..." Irene trails off. But, I knew who she meant. It was me. I was going into the 70th hunger games. I was entering the arena. I might not come out alive, let alone scarred.
I didn't notice that the people around me made a path. Black spots blurred my vision., and I was finding hard to breath.
I felt a rough shove from where I was standing. I stumbled foreword but, I luckily caught myself. I took tiny steps up to the justice building.

I quickly stand up and walk to the train. I don't see Doncaster. Irene stands in front of me, ignoring my insistence. Perfect. I ignore her and step into the train.
My eyes just about pop out of my head. The train is... Is
