'You may think this is just an average, haunted house. But it is more than that. However scared you may be, this is a challenge you cannot back out of just yet. Weapons are supplied in the store room, and remember, you must have stayed at least one night to back out. Good luck, and may the spirits, be ever in your favour.' Boomed the loudspeaker.

I looked at Peeta, then to Gale. Us three have been signed up to this by Haymitch to test their so-called 'abilities'. 'Look, This is what we're going to have to face. ' I said, Looking up at the old, haunted castle ' We know, Katniss. and we also know this won't be easy. But we need to work together. Right, Gale?' Said Peeta warily.
