I promise it will start to get more interesting. Hope this isn't too boring :) Again reviews are welcome.


"Very well," Cuddy flashed a smile at Cameron "if you would like to come up here then." Cameron released her grip on Thirteen's wrist. She slowly walked up to the podium and stood next to the first jar. All cameras were on her until Cuddy said "shall we proceed?" She drew out the next name. "Robert Chase!"

Cameron had only seen Chase around the hospital a few times. From what she knew of him he was a surgeon and a good one at that. When he took his place next to Cameron his face was pale.

"The doctors have been chosen. Let the games begin."

Cameron and Chase were lead back into the hospital and directed to separate offices. Cameron knew this is where she gets to say goodbye to friends and family. Cameron had many times come into this office to say goodbye to a friend as they were sent to their death.

Cameron was in Cuddy's office. And from here she could look out the window and see the crowd below disperse. The door burst open. Cameron turned and saw a blur of brunette hair as she was pulled into a strangling hug.

"Why did you do that?" Thirteen struggled to keep her voice in control.

"Because you'll be able to keep this hospital running," Cameron pried Thirteen's arms from around her neck "besides, Amy needs you. No one needs me." And before Thirteen could reply a Capital official came into the room and told them there were other people waiting so Thirteen's visiting time was over. When Thirteen turned to Cameron one last time, tears were flowing freely down her cheeks "just promise me you'll come back alive."

"I promise." And the instant she said it, she regretted it. Cameron knew it was such a stupid thing to promise but she couldn't bear to leave Thirteen without any hope.

The next person to see her was Amy. Amy stood in an awkward silence for a few minutes before saying "Thank-you." Then leaving before Cameron could say anything. Cameron turned her back to the door and watched the few people that were left wandering outside the hospital. She didn't expect anyone else to want to see her. She had avoided making friends with doctors after losing so many dear friends to the games. She was surprised when the door opened for a third time. She didn't look round.

"Are you sure about this?" Cuddy asked. Cameron was shocked that the Dean would be asking such a thing so she turned.

"Absolutely." She replied.

"Why? You're a good doctor. You've kept the ER running smoothly."

"Dr Cuddy, you have spent too much time at Hospital 12," Cameron smiled weakly at Cuddy "Thirteen, I mean Dr Hadley, would be better at it than me. She can procure things easier than I can."

There was a pause, where Cameron was sure Cuddy had been about to say something. After another moment Cuddy said "We'll be leaving in a few minutes."

Traditionally the doctors would travel by train to the Capital, a journey which would take a few days from Hospital 12. They would travel to the Capital where they'd meet the other doctors to train for the games. Each Hospital had a mentor. The mentor would be a winning of ta previous game. Hospital 12 had only one victor, Dr House. Cameron had worked closely with him with certain patients on only a couple of occasions. He had a limp and walked with a cane, a constant reminder of the everlasting effect of the games. He was unorthodox, grumpy and sarcastic. It was going to be his job to train the doctors on how to survive the games.
