I see Madison go pale, and I have to fight the panic that wells up inside me. “No!” I shout, moving to step in front of her. She’s a little distance behind me, but I can’t help wanting to obscure her from Xur’s view even so. “She didn’t agree to play! It was only me!”

“If you wish to end the game and leave—”

“No!” Mads says, walking to my side after pushing away from Peyton. She holds my hand, squeezing tightly. “We will play. Together.” I look at my best friend, knowing the game has just changed. I can’t let her die in this.

“The aim of the game is to start at one side and get to the middle. In the middle, there is a gold circle ring. You both touch it simultaneously, and you both win,” Xur explains, his voice echoing so loudly it hurts my ears. “As a gift to my new found niece, if the human is alive at the end of the game, she counts as winning one more game. Win this, and you are three away from getting the prize you want.”

“Then what are we waiting for, uncle?” I sarcastically say, crossing my arms, and he almost smiles at me as he sits down and claps his hands. Fireworks blast into the sky, all of them red and looking like fire as they fall down around us in sparkling dust. I hold my best friend’s hand as we walk to the entrance, and I know I will not let either of us fall in this game.

We have to win.
