CASSANDRA

“It’s time,” Everly says, making my head snap up from Dante’s shoulder to see the doors to the dungeons being opened. I stand up at the same time Dante does and we wait for the guards to open the doors, taking us out one by one after handcuffing us. I walk behind the guard holding Everly, noticing how he slips a note inside her hand and gently squeezes it before letting go. I wonder what is on the note, and I wonder how he got close enough to her that she lets him hold her hand and slide his hand up her arm in a comforting way. I see her look up at him, and it’s a different look than she gives everyone else. It’s almost respectful at the same time as loving.

We are walked out of the dungeons and straight across the corridor to a large door. This door is different; a maze is engraved into it and swirls around and around until it gets to the star in the middle. It must have taken hours to make this door, and I focus on it as I wait for the guards to open the doors. We walk into the room in a line, and I look behind me to see Dante’s eyes blazing as he looks at the guard’s hands on my arm. He is holding me tightly and if Dante wasn’t tied up, I have the feeling he would be punching the guard.

I try to blank my expression when I look back into the room we are walking into. I can feel Hunter and Ryland in there before I even look, because the bond tells me they are close. I can feel Jacob, too, but its more distant. On the other side of a big glass floor is the king, with Ryland and Hunter on each side of him. They both have their small crowns on and the king has his larger one, reminding everyone who they are. Hunter’s long hair is combed straight, with tiny plaits on each side, and his face is clean shaven, making his face even more handsome than usual. But it’s not him. It doesn’t suit the dark and uncontrollable nature Hunter has. Ryland looks good, just wearing a simple green shirt and black trousers. His hair is tied at the back of his head and his blue eyes don’t leave mine this time. Hunter doesn’t look my way, but as I look around the room, I see the three young women from the last games. They are on their knees this time, looking at the floor and kneeling close to the wall. They don’t lift their heads once, and I look them over, at the tiny excuse of clothing they are wearing and at the bruises covering their arms and legs. I have to force my gaze away, knowing that my feeling sorry for them will not help them. They will die anyway when the king is bored with them. The room is large, with two doors on one side.
