Bonus Chapter from a request I got through Private messanging.
From the POV of Laurel and Dylan's Father
From the moment the buzzer went off I was on the edge of my seat. I had been given a paid leave from work and a spare amount of money from my co-worker. I had the screen split so I could watch my son and my daughter. I watched the cornucopia blood bath. I was on the edge of my seat looking at the screen. I was hoping and praying to anyone that would listen. I watched closely as my daughter slashed a girl and her partner stabbed her. Then they ran off they continued showing the blood bath. I looked over to the other screen. I saw my son struggling to stay afloat. You're only mandated to watch the games from 8am-5pm, but I wouldn't let my eyes leave the screen. M son then killed a young girl. As they announced the death toll for today, I couldn't help but think even though my kids survived what was going on in the homes of the parents whose kids didn't. There was probably screaming and crying. Ceaser Flickermen was talking about this "game" with laughter and joy. He would never know the pain of watching his children go into an arena where they would be brutally killed. I watched closely seeing all the details. I knew my kids wouldn't make it out but I clung to the hope that they would.
