'You all will be grouped into 5 groups. Each batch will have 10 hunters'.
'The first batch will move the day after tomorrow, I will call out the names of the ones to go tomorrow in the next two hours, till then you all should move to your various rooms. Dismiss'.
We all moved to our various rooms, Irena and I moving to the same room.
'Do you think She'll pick us to go for the first batch?'.
'What if she picks you for this batch and doesn't pick me?'.
'Or if she picks me and don't pick you?'. She asked panicking.
'It's alright, don't panic, either ways at the end we'll come back and be together'.
'But...if it is as dangerous as they say, what if one of us don't come back?'.
I could feel fear in my mouth but I swallowed it. If anyone should be strong then it should be me.
'No, stupid'.
'We'll all come back alive'.
'They Won't send us on a dangerous job that would take our lives'.
'Are you sure?'.
'Very'.
'OK'. She said relieved.
If only I believed what I said.
'Come on, let's go inside'. I said opening the door to our room.
We entered and I sat in the bed while she laid.
'I pray they pick the both of us to go together'.
'Me too'.
'Now, let's settle sleep and see what fate brings tomorrow'.
'Ok'.
We cuddled together tried to sing each other lullabies before one of us slept off and the other followed suit.

'Those are the 10 hunters taking off tomorrow'.
'They will be dropped at the west of the Carpathian mountains'.
'Alina?'.
'Ma'am?'.
Alina stood at attention and I wondered if she was a former soldier.
'Make sure to remind the cooks that the hunters who are going for the hunt tomorrow should be fed 'specially''.
'OK ma'am'.
'Good, that is settled then. Be off with you all'.
And with that we all turned and left her dark office.
The people selected for the first hunt were shipped off to another room and the rest of us were shipped into the garden where they asked us to interact.
'I guess we have to part ways here'.
'No, no Maya. Let's stay together'.
'We can't'.
