I awake in what looks like the infirmary. I should be able to leave here, I feel okay I think. When I try to push my self up pain shoots through my shoulder. How can a stunner hurt so much for so long? A new stunner? I look at my shoulder where I had been shot. Definitely a new stunner. It was a deep wound covered in blood it still felt weird like electricity had shot me there. I could just barely make out where the stunner had hit me. The nurses must've taken it out or something.

"Will, I'm going to need to stitch that up, very soon." Someone said.

"Okay." I say. She stitches it up fast and soon it's over. It still throbbed but I was okay for now at least.

"It's interesting what they made. A stunner that they can choose once they shoot it to do the damage of a bullet or do the damage of a stunner." She remarked.

"Yeah." I say.

"Are you ready for the big day tomorrow?" She said.

"What are you talking about?" I say confused.

"The fight... didn't you know that?" She said.

"Wait that's tomorrow? What about Mira?" I ask.

"She's here." She replied.

I push myself up making me wince. She places her hand on my chest and pushes me to the bed.

"I can tell her to come here, but you can't leave the infirmary." She said.

"Why can't I?"

"You can't be hurt when you fight. We have to speed up the healing process. Which will only require you to stay in here until it's healed, it should be healed tomorrow." She answered.

"Okay." I said. After a few minutes Mira comes into the room.

"Will, what are you doing in here?" She asks.

"Got shot in the shoulderr." I say and smile. I lean close to her ear. "Does she really have my parents?"

Silence for a moment. "Yes."

"They had you?" I ask.

"Yes, they caught us." She says. "I heard them say they wanted to take you."

"I know," I said. "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I better get going." She said. "They want me in the training room. See you later."

"Bye!" I said. I would be in here for a while. So for an hour I think of my life. It just got crazy. Now Angeline has my parents and wants me. I was only fifteen and trying to survive this life. If they kill my parents she is dead. I will tear her to pieces. I will kill her if she even tries to kill my parents. She presses the gun barrel to their head and she dies one way or another. If I don't what will she do next? Take my sisters? She lays a hand on them and she dies. She will die at some point but I will be the one who kills her unless someone beats me to it. Which is unlikely because she pretends to be good. I will find my fate tomorrow in the arena. The terrible, horrible arena where my fate will be decided in fighting. What news for me.
