It was choosing time. Everyone filed into the seats, anticipation poisoning the air.
Eliott sat next to Lilith, Henry on Liliths other side, and Aspen by Henry's other side.
"I'm Aspen, Henry's roommate." She said, leaning over Henry to look at Lilith.
"I'm Lilith, Eliotts roommate. I met Henry at breakfast today, and y'know, you gotta stick with anyone nice."
"I agree, this is terrifying." Aspen replied, and opened her mouth to say more but Julian stepped onto the stage, ready for the announcements.
He waited for the talking to die down once they saw him in a singular spotlight, now the only light in the large room.
"Are you guys ready?" He called into the silent room, his voice echoing off the walls and the many many seats.
Everyone stayed silent.
"Tough crowd?" He laughed at himself, but quickly stopped. The large bingo cage with names had been rolled onto the stage. He spun it. "Hopefully this next fight is more entertaining." He rolled his eyes slightly, and pulled a name out. "Katrina Jones!" He rolled the cage again. "...and…Aspen Houston!"
Aspens face paled, she froze in place. This was a death sentence.
