I wake up slowly, taking in the sight around me. I wonder how long I've been out. The door opens and Amelia walks in, she walks until she's directly next to the bed.
"I've been thinking about what you said, and everything that has happened. Moving here wasn't good for you, in fact it was really bad, and I want to do what's best for you, so I think moving back with Ms. Everdeen is the best option right now. I'll be moving back there as well, but I talked it over with her and we agree that at least for now, you living with her it best. However, you aren't mentally stable, you need to heal. That is why I have decided to send you to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. Sister Woodhouse will help you heal and when you're better, you'll come home." Amelia says
"Wait what? Sisters of Quiet Mercy? Where's that?" I ask
"In a small town called Riverdale," Amelia says, "They'll make you better."
"No, I don't want to go to Riverdale to go to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. I want to go home!" I say angrily
"To go home you have to go to the Sisters first," Amelia says moving towards the door. I stand up, thankful that there isn't anything connected to me. I start moving towards her as she opens the door, I thought she was leaving but she only opened the door for two men in white and a woman in black. The men walk towards me and I back into the wall. The men grab me by my arms and pull me towards the door. I try resisting but they're too strong. They pull me out of the room and through the hallway. The Hawthorne's, grandpa Haymitch, Effie, Maya, Josh, Johanna, Madge, Annie, Finnick, Peeta, Prim, Mom, all of them are standing there. They rush towards me speaking all at once, the adults are arguing with Amelia telling her this isn't whats best for me. The others are promising they'll get me out and telling me they love me and I'm trying to escape the hold of the men.
I thrash trying to loosen their hold on me, I almost get free of their grasp when they inject me with something. My body starts to go limp and I black out.

I wake up and slowly sit up. I look around the strange room. I'm sitting on a bed that's against the wall, there's another bed on the other side of the room. There's a small rectangular rug in front of the beds. There's a window on the wall in the center so basically it looks like its in between the beds. I stand up and thats when I realize I'm wearing different clothes. I'm wearing a blue dress with a white collar, a burgundy cardigan, white socks and white shoes. My hair is down in loose waves.
The woman from earlier walks into the room. I stiffen slightly as she takes a seat on the bed across from the bed I am on.
"Hello dear," She says, "My name is Sister Woodhouse. You're in the Sisters of Quiey Mercy now. We'll take care of you. We'll make you better. As long as you cooperate with us, things will go smoothly. You'll be sharing a room with another girl"
A girl with shoulder length bonde wavy hair walks in. I notice she's wearing the same outfit I am.
"This is Elizabeth Cooper," Sister Woodhouse says, "Elizabeth, this is Katniss Everdeen,"
Elizabeth extends her hand and says, "Nice to meet you"
I shake her hand and say, "Nice to meet you too,"
"I'll leave you two to get settled," Sister Woodhouse says "Elizabeth, I trust you've learned enough from the Gargoyle King to know how to behave with your new roommate"
"Yes Sister Woodhouse," Elizabeth says with a tight smile that she drops as soon as Sister Woodhouse leaves. She sighs and closes the door.
"Who's the Gargoyle King?" I ask her, she gives me a confused look and sits on her bed.
"You haven't heard of Gryffins and Gargoyles? How's that possible? Everyone at Riverdale High got a copy of the game manual and almost everyone is playing," Elizabeth says
"What's that?" I ask
"You aren't from Riverdale are you?" Elizabeth asks, I shake my head. "First off, my name is Betty, not Elizabeth"
"I'm confused, I don't want fo be here, I want to go home, I want to see Prim," I say
"Who's Prim?" Betty asks
"My sister," I say with a smile
"I have a sister too, her name is Polly, she was in here too," Betty says
"Was?" I ask
"That's a long story. Anyways, Griffins and Gargoyles is a game thats recently taken over Riverdale. It's terrible, people have died because of it. Jughead thinks its more than just a game, that it's something bigger than that. Well that's what he said last time I saw him. He doesn't know I'm here, none of them do."
"Who's Jughead?" I ask
"He's my boyfriend," Betty says, "If they knew I was here they'd be trying to get me out. I tried using the escape my friend Veronica used to get our friend Cheryl out of here but its been blocked,"
"Why do you wanna leave so badly?" I ask
"Hiram Lodge," Betty says, "Listen carefully, they give us candy everyday but it isn't candy, its Fizzle Rocks, they're drugs and Hiram Lodge has Sister Woodhouse giving them to us."
"Why?" I ask
"I'm not entirely sure, but I know they make you hallucinate. They forced them into me when they found me trying to escape and Sisted Woodhouse took me to the Gargoyle Kings chamber, he's not real but the drugs make us see him, I don't understand why though," Betty says
"Why are people in here then? If all of this is happening?" I ask
"They don't know, as far as I know, I'm the only one who knows this much, aside from you, but its important you know before they try to intoxicate you" Betty says
"This sucks," I say
"So why are you here?" Betty asks curiously and I find myself telling her everything. I don't know but something about her gives me the sense that I can trust her. "Wow, you've gone through a lot"
"I just wanna go home, I miss my family," I say
"And Peeta?" Betty asks
"I love him, I hate that I had to break up with him and I hate how we left things and I just wanna see him again," I say
"Hey, maybe you could help me," Betty says
"How?" I ask
"We're gonna bust out of here,"
