Chapter 35.

Lukes P.O.V.

"What?"

"I'm telling you." Calum pants, rubbing the back of his neck a little as he attempts to catch his breath, "It's her. She's here."

I squint a little, confused, "Who's here? You never mentioned that."

The two of us stand in the kitchen of our derelict house, I wait for Calum to reply.

I've never seen him like this, even in this freaky arena, he's never been this out of breath, this frantic.

He opens his mouth to reply when Ashton bursts through the door, holding a limp figure in his arms, Bekka and Belle following him.

"Move!" Ashton shouts, using his broad shoulders to shove past Calum and I, over to the lounge. He places the figure down on the dusty couch, and I slowly walk over to study the body.

"What is going on? Has someone died?" I ask, looking around, as Shaylin, Jimmy and Lucy run into the room.

Calum sighs, "No, it's not like that Luke."

I take a couple of steps forward and lean over to the couch to study the figure. A ponytail of pink hair is splayed out around their head.

But despite this change, I know this face, I know this girl. The slight curve at the edge of her lips, the few freckles she has, her dainty nose...

No. It can't be.

Can it?

"Is that, Jayson?!" I gasp, looking up at the others.

Ashton nods, "We dragged her up out of an elevator shaft, she said hi to us, and then passed out. Pretty typical if you ask me."

We all have to laugh a little at that.

Belle holds out her hands, "But check out what she had with her."

I look at the contents within them, a pistol, a belt filled with ammunition clips, a hunting knife, and a length of rope coiled around Belle's shoulder.

"Why would she have all that?" I ask, surprised by the stuff that Jayson has been carrying around with her, I didn't even know she could use a gun.

The last time I saw this girl she still had her faded caramel hair, ankle brace, arm in a sling and was wearing an inky formal dress. The day she changed everything.

It seems like she's been through a lot since then.

But how come she's here, right now? Was she captured and thrown in here with us, or has she somehow managed to break in, surely the game-makers wouldn't let her into the arena with a bunch of weapons...

"Is she OK? How come she passed out?" Lucy asks, sitting down beside the couch and rubbing Jayson's hand a little.

"She's fine Luce." Ashton replies, "She just seemed a little overwhelmed."

Lucy sighs and Ashton rests one of his hands on her shoulder, trying to comfort her a little, Jayson and her are from the same District, and they seemed pretty close.
