We were woken the next day by a trumpet.
Irena jumped up and started screaming.
'Calm down, they're probably trying to wake us'.
'Why?'.
'I dunno, let's go outside first'.
We scrambled out of bed and quickly changed our clothes not bothering to take our baths.
We came out of our room only to see others filing out too. We joined the group heading to the head hall.
I looked up to see Julia sitting on a chair placed on the podium, she looked like a fallen angel from the pit of hell.
'Good morning, hunters'. She greeted.
'Good Morning'. We said in unison.
She smiled her devilish smile. 'I'm sorry for waking you like that. I had something important to share with you'.
She took out a cigarette from the air and a slave behind her lit it for her.
She brought it to her mouth and puffed.
Her gaze travelled round the hall and it settled on me.
'The next batch is moving today'.
Murmurs rose around the hall, people were confused.
'Silence'.
Everyone went mute.
'I do not like being interrupted. The next person who tries to interrupt me next time won't get the chance to do that again'.
If we were mute before we became Muter.
'Good, I like that'. She smirked.
'As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted, the next batch leaves today, because the hunters that left today were not....enough'.
'So, Alina will prepare the hunters whose names will be called out now'.
'Sia'.
'Penelope'.
'Lucas'.
'Adrianna'.
'Noah'.
'Levi'.
'Finn'.
'Irena'. I heard a gasp beside me.
'Adam'.
'And....'
She stopped for while and her gaze settled on me, her hazel eyes holding a dark secret which was promised to be revealed soon.
I had been praying to be called so I could go with Irena but right then I didn't feel like going anymore.
'Maya'.
'The names mentioned should go with Alina please'.
And with that we all turned and followed the purple headed dark girl to a secret room where I had the pleasure of being shown my first day here.
'She led us into a dark familiar place, which turned out to be Julia's office then we turned and entered a room that looked like a store room.
'Wow'. Collective gasps went up as they marvelled at the dangerous machineries in the room.
'Are we going to use that?'. A short girl who I think is Sia asked.
Alina threw her the same look she gave me when I asked a dumb question sometimes ago and she kept her mouth shut.
